X-ray crystal structure and electronic properties of chlorobis(mepirizole)copper(II) tetrafluoroborate (mepirizole = 4-methoxy-2-(5-methoxy-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methylpyrimidine)
Abstract The crystal structure of [Cu(mep)2Cl](BF4)[mep = 4-methoxy-2-(5-methoxy-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methylpyrimidine] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure is built up of [Cu(mep)2Cl]+ cations and BF4− anions. The structure of the cation involves a five-coordinated CuN4Cl chromophore, with a stereochemistry near to a compressed trigonal bypyramid (TBP) but with a significant degree of distortion towards the square pyramidal (SP) topology. The EPR spectrum is indicative of a mixed dz2/dx2 − y2 ground state for the copper(II) ions, in agreement with the structural data.

Molecular and crystal structure and magnetic properties of [Mn2Cl(BIP)(HBIMAM)(H2O)5]Cl3·4H2O (BIP=3,3-di(2-1H-2-imidazolyl)propanoate; BIMAM=N-methyldi(1H-2-imidazolyl)methanamine)
Abstract This paper reports the synthesis, X-ray structure and magnetic characterization of [Mn 2 Cl(BIP) (HBIMAM)(H 2 O) 5 ]Cl 3 ·4H 2 O a novel dinuclear manganese(II) incorporating two related bis(imidazolyl)-based ligands, BIP (3,3-di(2-1 H -2-imidazolyl)propanoate) and BIMAM ( N -methyldi(1 H -2-imidazolyl)methanamine). The metal atoms in the dinuclear entity are bridged by a μ 2 -η 1 :η 1 carboxylate group (from the propionate arm of the BIP ligand) acting in an anti – anti coordination bridging mode, with an intramolecular Mn⋯Mn distance of 6.47 A. The coordination around the Mn(II) ions shows a distorted octahedral geometry for both MnClN 2 O 3 and MnN 2 O 4 chromophores. Between th…
Exchange interactions through hydrogen-bond bridges. Crystal structure, spectroscopic characterisation and magnetic properties of the complex [{Cu(en)}2(μ-egta)]·4H2O (H4egta = 3,12-bis(carboxymethyl)-6,9-dioxa-3,12-diazatetradecanedionic acid)
Abstract The structure and spectroscopic and magnetic properties of [{Cu(en)}2(μ-egta)]·4H2O (H4egta = 3,12-bis(carboxymethyl)-6–9-dio 3,12-diazatetradecanedioic acid) are described. The compound is built of centrosymmetric neutral dimeric {[Cu(en)}2(μ-egta)] entities linked through hydrogen bonds involving water molecules. -NH2 groups and -CO2 groups, affording a three-dimensional framework. The egta anion displays an opened-up structure acting as a bridging ligand between two copper atoms. The coordination geometry about the metal atoms can be viewed as 4 + 1 + 1 (CuN3OO′O″ chromophores). The EPR spectra are indicative of an essentially dv−v ground state for the copper(II) ions.

Structure, magnetic properties and nuclease activity of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazonecopper(II) complexes.
New complexes of formulae [Cu(HL 2 )(H 2 O)(NO 3 )](NO 3 ) ( 1 ), [{Cu(L 1 )(tfa)} 2 ] ( 2 ), [{Cu(L 1 )} 2 (pz)](ClO 4 ) 2 ( 3 ) and {[{Cu(L 1 )} 2 (dca)](ClO 4 )} n ( 4 ), where HL 1 = pyridine-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, HL 2 = pyridine-2-carbaldehyde 4 N -methylthiosemicarbazone, Htfa = trifluoroacetic acid (CF 3 COOH), pz = pyrazine (C 4 H 4 N 2 ) and dca = dicyanamide [N(CN) 2 ] − , have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of these compounds are built up of monomers ( 1 ), dinuclear entities with the metal centers bridged through the non-thiosemicarbazone coligand ( 2 and 3 ) and 1D chains of dimers ( 4 ). In all the cases, square–pyramidal copper(II) io…
Revisiting the thiosemicarbazonecopper(II) reaction with glutathione. Activity against colorectal carcinoma cell lines.
Thiosemicarbazones (TSCs), and their copper derivatives, have been extensively studied mainly due to the potential applications as antitumor compounds. A part of the biological activity of the TSC-CuII complexes rests on their reactivity against cell reductants, as glutathione (GSH). The present paper describes the structure of the [Cu(PTSC)(ONO2)]n compound (1) (HPTSC =pyridine-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone) and its spectroscopic and magnetic properties. ESI studies performed on the reaction of GSH with 1 and the analogous [{Cu (PTSC*)(ONO2)}2] derivative (2, HPTSC* =pyridine-2-carbaldehyde 4N-methylthiosemicarbazone) show the absence of peaks related with TSC-Cu-GSH species. However GS…
Networks based on hydrogen-bonds containing phosphorus anions and tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate nickel(II) moieties
Abstract Five structural kinds of nickel hydrogen-bonded networks containing hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate ligands (Tp∗) have been elucidated by X-ray diffraction, [Tp∗Ni(OH2)3][(p-NO2C6H4O)2PO2] (4), [Tp∗Ni(OH2)3][Me2PO2]·Me2P(O)OH (5), [Tp∗Ni(OH2)3][(nBuO)2PO2]·0.5H2O (6), [(Hpz)Tp∗Ni(OH2)2][(Ph)PO2OH] (7) and [Tp∗Ni(OH2)2(Me2PO2)] (8). The most relevant supramolecular feature of complexes 4–8 is all of them form coordination networks based on hydrogen bonds between water molecules and phosphate, phosphonate or phosphinate anions. These hydrogen bonds are formed within the monomer units in addition to connect monomers along the chains. Their behaviors in solution were investigate…
Dimetallic complexes derived from a novel dinucleating chelating symmetric triazole ligand; crystal structure, magnetic properties and ESR study of bis[μ-3,5-diacetylamino-1,2,4-triazolato-O ′,N 1,N 2,O ″]bis[(nitrato)(aqua)copper(II)] ‡
Reaction of 3,5-diacetylamino-1,2,4-triazole (Hdaat) with copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) salts yields dinuclear co-ordination compounds, which were spectroscopically characterized. The crystal and molecular structure of one of the compounds, bis[µ-3,5-diacetylamino-1,2,4-triazolato-O′,N 1,N 2,O″]bis[(nitrato)(aqua)copper(II)] 1, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 consists of dinuclear units with an inversion center at the midpoint of the Cu–Cu vector. The most remarkable feature of this structure is that the daat ligand forms a six-membered chelate ring [Cu–N3–C3–N1–C2–O1; Cua–N4–C4–N5–C5–O2], in contrast with the five-membered chelate rings always found in…

The work presented here describes the synthesis of new copper(II) complexes derived from 2-amino-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L1) and 2-methylamino-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L2) which also incorporate azido (N3 -), thiocyanato (NCS-), cyanato (NCO-), dicyanamido [N(CN)2 -, dca] and malonato (C3H2O4 2-, mal) coligands. Structures of the [Cu(L2)(mal)(H2O)]·2H 2O(1), [{Cu(L2)(mal)}2] (2), [Cu(L 2)2-(NCS)2] (3), [Cu(L1)(NCS) 2]n (4) and [{Cu(L2)}2(dca) 2](ClO4)2·2H2O (5) compounds show the dependence of the dimensionality on parameters such as the type of oxadiazole and coligand utilised, solvents or reaction times. In this sense, 1 and 3 are mononuclear complexes, 2 contains cen…

Abstract The preparation and crystal structures for three Cu(II) polynuclear, chain complexes with 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (dpp) as bridging ligand are reported, [Cu(dpp)(H2O)2]n(NO3)2n·2n/3H2O (1), [Cu(dpp)(H2O)2]n(CF3SO3)2n (2), and [Cu(dpp)(H2O)2]n(BF4)2n·2nH2O (3). For the latter compound the crystal structure at four different temperatures have been studied.

Defective dicubane-like tetranuclear nickel(II) cyanate and azide nanoscale magnets.
Four tetrameric nickel(II) pseudohalide complexes have been synthesized and structurally, spectroscopically, and magnetically characterized. Compounds 1-3 are isostructural and exhibit the general formula [Ni(2)(dpk·OH)(dpk·CH(3)O)(L)(H(2)O)](2)A(2)·2H(2)O, where dpk = di-2-pyridylketone; L = N(3)(-), and A = ClO(4)(-) for 1, L = NCO(-) and A = ClO(4)(-) for 2, and L = NCO(-) and A = NO(3)(-) for 3. The formula for 4 is [Ni(4)(dpk·OH)(3) (dpk·CH(3)O)(2)(NCO)](BF(4))(2)·3H(2)O. The ligands dpk·OH(-) and dpk·CH(3)O(-) result from solvolysis and ulterior deprotonation of dpk in water and methanol, respectively. The four tetramers exhibit a dicubane-like core with two missing vertexes where the…
