Synthesis, structure and properties of new heterometallic octanuclear Li2Na2Cu4 and decanuclear Li2Zn8 complexes

Abstract A carboxylate containing polydentate ligand in combination with exogeneous succinate (suc) has been used to stabilize heterometallic octanuclear [Li2Na2Cu4(cpdp)2(suc)2(CH3OH)2(H2O)4]Cl2·6H2O (1) and decanuclear Na(H3O)2[Li2Zn8(cpdp)4(suc)2(H2O)4]Cl2Br3·6MeOH·19H2O (2) complexes. The reaction of ligand H3cpdp (H3cpdp = N,N'-bis[2-carboxybenzomethyl]-N,N'-bis[2-pyridylmethyl]-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol) with stoichiometric amounts of CuCl2/sodium succinate, and ZnCl2/sodium succinate, allowed isolation of complexes 1 and 2, respectively. Analyses of single crystal X-ray structures indicate that complex 1 is capped by two [Cu2(cpdp)]+ molecular building units and two succinate linkers, w…

Phosphatase-like Activity of Tetranuclear Iron(III) and Zinc(II) Complexes

Three new tetranuclear iron(III) and zinc(II) complexes, [Fe4(cpdp)2(phth)2(OH)2]·8H2O (1), [Fe4(cpdp)2(terephth)2(OH)2] (2), and [Zn4(Hcpdp)2(suc)]Br2·12H2O (3), have been synthesized as models for the active site of phosphoester hydrolases by utilizing a polydentate ligand, N, N'-bis[2-carboxybenzomethyl]- N, N'-bis[2-pyridylmethyl]-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol (H3cpdp) in combination with exogeneous phthalate (phth), terephthalate (terephth), and succinate (suc). Single crystal X-ray analyses reveal that the metallic core of complex 1 consists of four distorted octahedral iron(III) ions with average intraligand Fe---Fe separation of 3.656(2) A, while the structure 3 represents a tetranuclear m…

Aromatic dicarboxylate incorporated new di- and tetranuclear cobalt(II) complexes: Synthetic and structural aspects, and evaluation of properties and catalytic activity

Abstract The synthetic and structural aspects as well as evaluation of magnetic properties and catalytic activity toward aerial oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol to 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzoquinone of three new, two di- and one tetranuclear cobalt(II) complexes, [Co2(cpdp)(Hphth)]∙5H2O (1), [Co2(cpdp)(Hisophth)] (2) and [Co4(cpdp)2(terephth)]∙4.5CH3OH·5.5H2O (3), based on a symmetrical multidentate ligand, N,N'-Bis[2-carboxybenzomethyl]-N,N'-Bis[2-pyridylmethyl]-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol (H3cpdp) in combination with exogeneous aromatic dicarboxylic acids, such as phthalic acid (H2phth), isophthalic acid (H2isophth) and terephthalic acid (H2terephth) are reported. All three coordination compl…

Exploring new water soluble bridged dicopper(II) assemblies: Synthesis, structure, spectroscopic characterization, properties, and their interactions with d-glucosamine

Abstract Three new water soluble dimetallic copper(II) complexes, [Cu(H2O)5][Cu2(cpdp)(µ-O2As(CH3)2)]2Br2·13.83H2O·0.67CH3OH (1), [Cu2(Hcpdp)(µ-SO4)]·5H2O (2) and [Cu2(cpdp)(µ-pz)]·16H2O (3) (H3cpdp = N,N′-Bis[2-carboxybenzomethyl]-N,N′-Bis[2-pyridylmethyl]-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol; (CH3)2AsO2− = cacodylate; SO42− = sulfate; pz− = pyrazolate) have been successfully synthesized and characterized for the investigation of coordination/binding aspects with biologically significant monosaccharide, d -glucosamine. Preparation of 1, 2 and 3 has been achieved by carrying out reaction of H3cpdp with stoichiometric quantities of CuCl2·2H2O/NaO2As(CH3)2·3H2O, CuSO4·5H2O and CuCl2·2H2O/1H-pyrazole, respe…

Carboxylate Bridge Controlled Formation of Tetra‐ and Pentanuclear Nickel(II) Complexes: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Spectroscopy and Magnetic Properties

Synthesis, structure and properties of a novel self-assembled tetranuclear copper(II) complex derived from carboxylate-based multidentate ligand

Abstract A novel tetranuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(H2O)5][Cu4(cpdp)2(adip)]ClBr∙2CH3OH·8H2O (1) of carboxylate-based symmetrical multidentate ligand, H3cpdp [H3cpdp = N,N'-Bis[2-carboxybenzomethyl]-N,N'-Bis[2-pyridylmethyl]-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol; adip = adipate], has been synthesized and fully characterized. Complex 1 has been synthesized by carrying out reaction of ligand H3cpdp with stoichiometric amounts of CuCl2·2H2O/Na2(CH2CH2COO)2 in methanol-water in the presence of NaOH at room temperature. The solid state structure of 1 consists of a [Cu4(µ4-adip)] core unit which is held together by two multidentate bridging ligands, cpdp3−. In fact, complex 1 can be viewed as a “dimer-of-dime…
