Structure, spectroscopic and magnetic properties of a novel 1-D coordination copper(II) polymer containing BIMAM ligand [BIMAM=bis(imidazol-2-yl)methylaminomethane] and μ-1,3 squarato bridges
Abstract This paper reports the synthesis and complete characterization (structural, spectroscopic and magnetic) of [Cu(HBIMAM)Cl(C4O4)]n · (H2O)n [BIMAM = bis(imidazol-2-yl)methylaminomethane]. This compound is made of infinite chains – running along c axis – built from [CuCl(HBIMAM)]+ units bridged together by μ-O1,O3-bis(monodentate) squarate anions. Non-covalent interactions (H-bonds and π–π) drive the build-up of an infinite three-dimensional array. The coordination polyhedron about the copper(II) ion is distorted square pyramidal. The EPR spectrum is indicative of a d z 2 - y 2 ground state for the Cu(II) ions with significant contribution of d z 2 . Magnetic susceptibility measuremen…
Crystal structure, spectroscopic characterisation and magnetic properties of [Cu(BIP)(N3)]·H2O (BIP=3,3-bis(2-imidazolyl)propionate), a copper(II) polymeric compound with asymmetrical μ-1,3-azido bridges
Abstract The structure and the spectroscopic and magnetic properties of [3,3-bis(2-imidazolyl)propionato]azidocopper(II) monohydrate are described. The compound is built of [Cu(BIP)N3] entities which are connected through carboxylate groups from the BIP molecules —which act as a tridentate ligand—and asymmetrical μ-1,3-azido bridges, leading to a polymeric sheet-like structure. The copper atom is involved in a CuN3ON′ chromophore and lies in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. Both electronic and EPR spectra are indicative of an essentially dx2−y2 ground state for the copper(II) ions. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the range 1.8–200 K show very weak antiferromagnetic exchange…
Synthesis, crystal structure, spectroscopic characterisation and magnetic properties of [Cu2(BIBM)2(C2O4)2]·4H2O (BIBM=bis(2-imidazolyl)bis(methoxycarbonyl)methylmethane)
Abstract The structure and spectroscopic and magnetic properties of bis(μ-1,2,3-oxalato)bis[bis(2-imidazolyl)bis(methoxycarbonyl)methylmethane]dicopper(II) tetrahydrate are described. The compound is built of centrosymmetric neutral dimeric [Cu2(BIBM)2(C2O4)2] entities linked through hydrogen bonds involving water molecules and oxalate groups. In the dimeric unit the two centrosymmetrically related copper — which are involved in CuN2O2O2′ chromophores lying in an elongated octahedral environment — are bridged through the oxalate group which acts in a bidentate–monodentate (μ-1,2,3) fashion. Both electronic and EPR spectra are indicative of an essentially dx2−y2 ground state for the copper(I…
Lipid Nanoparticles as Potential Gene Therapeutic Delivery Systems for Oral Administration.
Background Gene therapy has experimented an increasing attention in the last decades, due to its enormous potential applications in the medical field. It can be defined as the use of genes or genetic material (DNA, RNA, oligonucleotides) to treat or prevent a disease state, generally a geneticbased one. Application Other applications, like treating viral, bacterial or parasite infections or development of vaccines are gaining also interest. Efficient gene therapy is mainly dependent on the ability of the highly labile genetic material to reach the therapeutic target. For this purpose, different delivery systems have been designed and extensively investigated. Nanoparticles offer a broad ran…
Structural, magnetic, and spectroscopic comparative studies on four new derivatives of DIMMAL (2-di1H-2-imidazolylmethylmalonate): a novel generator of multidimensional networks.
This paper reports the synthesis, structure solution, and magnetic characterization of four new DIMMAL-containing compounds (H 2 DIMMAL = 2-di1H-2-imidazolylmethylmalonic acid), H 2 DIMMAL.H 2 O (1), Na 2 (DIMMAL).5H 2 O (2), [Cu(HDIMMAL) 2 ] (3), and [Cu 2 (DIMMAL) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ].2H 2 O (4). Compound 1, containing two carboxylates and two protonated imidazole rings, adopts the dizwitterion configuration. These monohydrate MBBs pack together into a 3D array driven, as in the other three cases herein reported, by a combination of multiple-path H-bonds and aromatic-aromatic interactions. Compound 2 consists of centrosymmetric Na + tetramers in which four NaO 6 distorted octahedra are interconn…

A novel mu-pyrazolato-mu-hydroxo-dibridged copper(II) complex has been synthesized and structurally characterized: [(Cu(mepirizole)Br)2(mu-OH)(mu-pz)] (mepirizole=4-methoxy-2-(5-methoxy-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methylpyrimidine; pz=pyrazolate). The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/c, with a=15.618(2) A, b=15.369(3) A, c=16.071(3) A, and beta=112.250(1) degrees. The structure is built up of dinuclear [(Cu(mepirizole)Br)2(mu-OH)(mu-pz)] units with five-coordinated copper(II) ions (CuBrN3O chromophores) linked by mu2-OH and mu2-pyrazolato bridges that are well separated from each others. The intramolecular copper-copper distance is 3.378(3) A. Magnetic…
Extended structures of copper(II) complexes with 2-di1H-2-imidazolylmethylmalonate (DIMMAL), a versatile bis(imidazole)–bis(carboxylate) ligand: Solution studies, crystal structures and spectroscopic characterization
Abstract Copper(II) complexes of 2-di1H-2-imidazolylmethylmalonate (DIMMAL) have been studied by potentiometric methods. The data revealed that the CuHL 2 - and CuL 2 2 - species are prevalent in the studied pH range. Moreover, this paper reports the synthesis, structure solution and spectroscopic characterization of two new DIMMAL containing complexes, (NH4)2[Cu(DIMMAL)2] · 4H2O (1) and [Cu(DIMMAL)(en)(H2O)] · 5H2O (2). The structure of compound 1 consists of centrosymmetric mononuclear anionic [Cu(DIMMAL)2]2− units, NH 4 + cations and lattice water molecules, in which DIMMAL2− acts as a tridentate ligand through two imidazole nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom from a carboxylate group.
