Cooperative H-bonds, π⋯π and anion⋯π interactions as driving forces in the construction of novel Cu(II) bis(imidazol-2-yl) supramolecular 3D frameworks

Abstract Two new Cu(II) complexes with bis(2-imidazolyl) based ligands, with the formula [Cu(BIM)2(SCN)2]·2H2O (BIM = bis(2-imidazol-2-yl)methane) and [Cu(HBIMAM)2(OH2)2](BF4)4·2H2O (BIMAM = bis(2-imidazol-2-yl)methylaminomethane) have been synthesized and characterized. Both compounds contain mononuclear entities as molecular building blocks (MBBs); neutral [Cu(BIM)2(SCN)2] in compound 1 and cationic [Cu(HBIMAM)2(OH2)2]4+ in compound 2. The coordination around the metal atoms shows a tetragonally-elongated octahedral geometry (CuN4S2 and CuN4O2 chromophores). The Q-band EPR spectra of both compounds are indicative of an essentially d x 2 - y 2 ground state for copper(II) ions. The analysis…

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…

Effects of immunosuppressive drugs on the cognitive functioning of renal transplant recipients: A pilot study

Some renal transplant patients show cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes as part of possible neurotoxic effects associated with immunosuppressive medication, especially tacrolimus. This study evaluated effects of immunosuppressive drugs on some cognitive tasks. Patients treated with sirolimus and cyclosporine reported some of the noncognitive side effects related to immunosuppressive treatment. We observed attention and working memory impairment in patients treated with sirolimus or tacrolimus. Performance of cyclosporine-treated subjects was similar to that of healthy volunteer controls. Since the mood, anxiety, and sleep patterns measured were unaffected, it could be concluded tha…

Synthesis, properties and crystal structure of bis(metiamide)bis(isothiocyanato)nickel(II)

Abstract The crystal structure of Ni(metiamide)2(NCS)2 was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Unlike cimetidine, which is a tridentate ligand, metiamide (C9H16N4S2): N-Methyl-N-[2-{(5-methylimidazol-4-yl)methylthio}ethyl]thiourea (which also possesses three potential donor sites) is bidentate, coordinated to the nickel atom through N(imidazole) and S(thioether) atoms. The S(thiourea) atom does not take part in the coordination; instead, the isothiocyanate ion is coordinated through nitrogen to the metal atom. The nickel atom lies on a centre of symmetry in an elongated octahedral environment: the nitrogen atoms occupy equatorial positions (NiN = 2.04 and 2.06 A) and S(thioether) atom…

A rare example of nickel(ii) chains based on a heteroscorpionate-like ligand with quadruple imidazolyl interactions

The first nickel(ii) complex with the heteroscorpionate-like bridging ligand DIMMAL (2-di1H-2-imidazolylmethylmalonate), [Ni(DIMMAL)(H2O)3]n·3nH2O (1), is a one-dimensional coordination polymer whose structure shows regular Ni(ii) chains with H-bonding inter-chain interactions and a rare example of a Quadruple Imidazolyl Embrace (QIE). The Ni(ii) chain shows a weak antiferromagnetic interaction that can be modelled with a regular S = 1 chain model including a zero field splitting with g = 2.270, J = -1.5 cm(-1) and D = -2.26 cm(-1).

Crystal structure of copper(II) cimetidine sulphate nonahydrate. Cation distortion and structure isomerism in three copper(II) cimetidine complexes

Abstract In the crystalline state, the complex [Cu(CM) 2 ]SO 4 ·9H 2 O (CM = cimetidine) is constituted of two-dimensional cations[Cu(CM) 2 2+ ] n separated by SO 4 2− anions and water molecules. As in the related complexes [Cu(CM) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 and [Cu(CM) 2 ](NO 3 ) 2 , the copper atom lies in a strongly distorted octahedral CuN 4 S 2 environment. The distortion is quite different from one complex to another (cation distortion isomerism). In the title compound the CuS bond is unusually long (2.91 A). Unlike the title compound, the [Cu(CM) 2 2+ ] n cations in the perchlorate and nitrate salts are one-dimensional infinite chains characterized by different conformations of the cimetidine mo…

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…
