Copper(II) Polyamine Complexes withN-Benzothiazole Sulfonamides as Counterions — Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Properties of [Cu(dien)2](L1)2[HL1 =N-2-(benzothiazole)naphtalenesulfonamide, dien = diethylentriamine] and [Cu(en)2(H2O)2](L2)2[HL2 =N-2-(6-chlorobenzothiazole)toluenesulfonamide, en = ethylenediamine] — Superoxide Dismutase-like Activity
Copper(II) complexes of new N-benzothiazole sulfonamides (HL1= N-2-(benzothiazole)naphtalensulfonamide and HL2 = N-2-(6-chlorobenzothiazole)toluenesulfonamide) with ethylenediamine (en) and diethylenetriamine (dien) have been synthesized and characterised. The crystal structures of [Cu(dien)2](L1)2 (1) and [Cu(en)2(H2O)2](L2)2 (2) compounds have been determined. The metal centre adopts a “4+2” distorted octahedral environment in both complexes. Unusually, the sulfonamidate anions act as counterions. Spectroscopic properties are in good agreement with the crystal structures. The superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity of complex 2 has been tested. Kupfer(II)-Polyamin-Komplexe mit N-Benzothi…
Structural and functional models for the dinuclear copper active site in catechol oxidases
Two new mu-methoxo-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes with a N-substituted sulfonamide, [Cu(mu-OMe)(L)(NH(3))](2) (1) and [Cu(mu-OMe)(L)(DMSO)](2) (2) [HL, N-2-(4-methylbenzothiazole)benzenesulfonamide], have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray difraction analyses. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C(2)/c with a=22.0678(18), b=7.9134(7), c=21.1186(18)A, beta=113.788(4) degrees and Z=8. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C(2)/c with a=18.0900(10), b=9.5720(10), c=24.2620(10) A, beta=98.7120(10) degrees and Z=8. In both complexes the copper atoms have square-planar environments bridged by two oxygen atoms from methoxide groups. Ma…
Oxidative DNA cleavage induced by an iron(III) flavonoid complex: synthesis, crystal structure and characterization of chlorobis(flavonolato)(methanol) iron(III) complex.
A flavonol iron(III) complex, [Fe(flavonolato)(2)Cl(MeOH)], has been prepared. The compound has been characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopy, magnetism and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) at X- and Q-band. The geometrical environment around the metal is best described as rhombic distorted octahedral. This distortion has also been inferred from the magnetic measurements and from the EPR spectra at different temperatures, E/D(rhombicity parameter) approximately 0.06. The DNA cleavage activity of the iron(III) complex with and without ascorbate/hydrogen peroxide is reported. Mechanisms of the oxidative cleavage have been proposed when DNA strand scission is performed both …
