Magnetostructural correlations in parallel square-planar halo-bridged copper(II) dimers. Part II: Structure and magnetic properties of [Cu2(terpy)2Br2](PF6)2

Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of bis-μ- bromo-bis [(2,2′:6′,2″ - terpyridyl) copper (II) ] bis (hexafluorophosphate) has been determined from three dimensional single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected by counter techniques. The blue crystals belong to the monoclinic system, space group P21/a, with four formula units in a unit cell of dimensions a=20.40(2), b=13.35(2), c=6.453(8) A and β=97.74(9)°. The structure was solved using a refinement procedure and starting with the atomic positions of the isostructural complex [Cu(terpy)- Cl]2(PF6)2, to final agreement factors R=0.071 (Rw=0.077). The structure consists of dimeric molecules bridged by two bromine atoms. The coor…

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…

(1,3,4‐Oxadiazole)copper(II) Compounds: Dimensionality, Magnetism and Nuclease Activity

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…

Magneto-Structural Correlations in μ-Halo Bridged Copper(II) Chains

To design synthetic pathways to systems of desired properties is a growing challenge for inorganic chemist. Our current interest in this area is focused on copper(II) chemistry. Besides to advance in the understanding of the factors determining the conformation around copper(II) in the solid state, we intend to gain insight into the chemical and structural effects that govern exchange coupling interactions in condensed species. In this context, we have approached the synthesis and characterization of a wide set of pentacoordinated Cu(LIII)XY complexes (LIII=tridentate ligand, X=coordinating anion, Y=coordinating or non-coordinating anion) showing a great structural diversity (including mono…
