Coordination polymers based on bridging cyanocarbanions and bis-tridentate p-phenylenediamine ligands
2017
Two new Cu(II) coordination polymeric neutral chains of formula [Cu 2 (1,4-tpbd)(μ-A) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ](A) 2 with A = tcnoet − ( 1 ) and tcnopr − ( 2 ) (1,4-tpbd = N,N,N′N′ -tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)benzene-1,4-diamine, tcnoet − = 1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-ethoxypropenide and tcnopr − = 1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-propoxypropenide) have been synthesized and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. 1 and 2 show alternating chains where the 1,4-tpbd and the cyanocarbanion units (tcnoet − for 1 and tcnopr − for 2 ) alternate as bridging ligands. The molecular structure can be viewed as [Cu 2 (μ-tpbd)] 4+ dinuclear units (with Cu⋯Cu distances of 8.2233(3) for 1 …
A Copper(II)-Cytidine Complex as a Building Unit for the Construction of an Unusual Three-Dimensional Coordination Polymer
2010
The chiral [Cu(cyd) 4 ] 6- anion acts as a multiarmed complex-ligand toward auxiliary copper(II) centers leading to the first example of cytidinate-bridged three-dimensional (3D) coordination polymer of formula [Cu 6 (H 2 O) 7 (ClO 4 ) 3 Cu(cyd) 4 ]-(ClO 4 ) 3 (1). Single crystal X-ray analysis of 1 shows a unique 3D covalent network supported by the exclusive hypercoordination of the cytidinate ligand that bridges four crystallographically independent copper(II) ions via the N3, O2, O2', O3', and O5' set of atoms. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 1.9-295 K reveal the coexistence of ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions within the hexacopper(II) core of 1, t…
An Na8 Cluster in the Structure of a Novel oxamato-bridged Na'Cu'' three-Dimensional Coordination Polymer
1999
[EN] The new heterometallic sodium(I)¿copper(II) compound Na4Cu2 (2) · 10.5 H2O (3), where H8[2] stands for N,N',N'',N'''-methanetetrayltetrakismethylenetetrakis(oxamic acid), has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 3 consists of cationic [Cu2(¿4:¿4-2)]4- dinuclear units, coordinated sodium cations, and water molecules. In the crystal, the dinuclear copper entities are joined through discrete aggregates of eight sodium atoms linked by oxamato and water bridges, leading to a three-dimensional polymeric network.
Rational design of aminoanthraquinones for colorimetric detection of heavy metal ions in aqueous solution
2011
A family of water-soluble colorimetric chemosensors incorporating an anthraquinone signalling subunit functionalized with a polyamine chain that bears hydrophilic diethoxyphosphoryl moieties was prepared with the aim of assaying metal cations. The outstanding UV-Vis absorption properties of the 1-aminoanthraquinone chromophore allowed the efficient visual detection and quantification of copper(II) ions by chelators L(1)-L(3) in buffered aqueous solution. Moreover, the visible response of L(2) is not interfered by addition of large excesses of 13 common metal ions, whereas chemosensor L(3) produces also a color change in the presence of equimolar amounts of lead(II). Considering the 134 nm g…

2002
Abstract The crystal structures of [Cu(hat)(H2O)(ox)]·H2O (I), [Cu(hat)(H2O)3(sq)]·3H2O (II) and [Cu(hat)(H2O)2](ClO4)2·4H2O (III) have been determined from X-ray single crystal diffraction data (hat=1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene, ox=oxalate, sq=squarate=dianion of 3,4-dihydroxy-cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione). Compound I crystallises in the triclinic system, space group P 1 with a=6.6626(10), b=9.2001(14), c=12.9954(19) A , α=103.301(15), β=91.414(21), γ=105.523(13)°, Z=2; compound II in the orthorhombic system, space group P212121 with a=6.9274(2), b=8.4327(3), c=34.0577(14) A , Z=4; and compound III in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a=22.6652(10), b=9.2220(10), c=16.1400(10) A…
Structural and Electrochemical Studies of Copper(I) Complexes with Diethoxyphosphoryl-1,10-phenanthrolines
2014
Two series of copper(I) complexes with diethoxyphosphoryl-substituted 1,10-phenanthroline ligands were synthesized and characterized in the solid state and in solution. The first comprised mixed-ligand CuI complexes with phenanthroline and triphenylphosphine. The second series includes bis-chelates with two phenanthroline ligands. According to the X-ray data for the six complexes, the ditopic phenanthroline ligands exhibit bidentate coordination to the copper(I) atom through two nitrogen atoms in both series. Solution equilibria involving different phenanthroline copper(I) species were studied by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and spectroelectrochemistry. The solution specia…
1H-NMR study of a cobalt-substituted blue copper protein: Pseudomonas aeruginosa Co(II)-azurin.
1995
Substitution of copper by cobalt in blue copper proteins gives a paramagnetic metalloderivative suitable for paramagnetic NMR studies. A thorough analysis of the 1H-NMR spectrum of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Co(II)-azurin is presented here. All the observable contact-shifted signals as well as many other paramagnetic signals from protons placed up to about 1.0 nm around the metal center, including some residues belonging to functionally important parts of the protein like the hydrophobic patch and the His35 region, have been assigned. The results obtained permit the detection and study of structural variations like those originated by the His35 ionization, and allow us to draw a feasible pictur…
Crystal structures and spectroscopic properties of copper(II)–bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amide–chlorobenzoate complexes
2007
The reaction of 2,4,6-tris(pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (ptz) and copper(II) salts in DMF–water (4:1) resulted in the hydrolysis of ptz, giving rise to the bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amide anion ( ptO 2 - ) and affording the complexes [Cu(ptO 2 )(2-Clbenz)(H 2 O)] ( 1 ), [Cu(ptO 2 )(3-Clbenz)] ( 2 ), and [Cu(ptO 2 )(4-Clbenz)(DMF)] ( 3 ). This report includes the chemical and spectroscopic characterization of all these compounds along with the crystal structures of the Cu(II) complexes thus formed. The coordination spheres of Cu(II) in 1 and 3 are best described as distorted square based pyramidal, while for 2 the coordination sphere is distorted square planar.
Responses of microbial activity and decomposer organisms to contamination in microcosms containing coniferous forest soil.
2002
Soil respiration from microcosms contaminated with pentachlorophenol, 2-ethanolhexanoate, creosote, CuSO4, and benomyl was measured in order to evaluate usefulness of soil microcosms and microbial respiration rate monitoring as a toxicity test in soils with high organic matter content. Coniferous forest soil and its organisms were used as test objects. In addition, how a short-term low temperature period including frost affects respiration dynamics in stressed soils was studied, i.e., whether contaminants reduce resistance of the community to other (also natural) stresses. In addition, at the end of the experiment, effects of contaminants on faunal and microbial community structures were an…
