Stabilities and coordination modes of histidine in copper(II) mixed-ligand complexes with ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine or N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentame…
2008
Abstract Solution equilibrium studies on the Cu(II)–polyamine–methionine ternary systems (polyamine: ethylenediamine (en), diethylenetriamine (dien), N,N,N′,N′′,N′′-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (Me5dien)) have been performed by pH-potentiometry, UV–Vis spectrophotometry and EPR methods. The obtained results suggest the formation of the mixed-ligand complexes with [Cu(A)(Met)]+ stoichiometry in all studied systems. Our spectroscopic results indicate the tetragonal geometry for [Cu(en)(Met)]+, the geometry slightly deviated from square pyramidal for [Cu(dien)(Met)]+ and strongly deviated from square pyramidal towards trigonal bipyramidal for the [Cu(Me5dien)(Met)]+ species. The coordination …
INTERACTIONS OF ORGANOTIN(IV) HALIDES WITH REDUCED GLUTATHIONE IN AQUEOUS-SOLUTION
1993
Abstract Glutathione (GSH) is a compound extremely common among many living organisms in which it plays a fundamental role in the processes of detoxification. Also, organotin(IV) derivatives are more and more commonly used in technological processes or as antitumor drugs. So it seemed interesting to investigate the possible interactions between GSH and organotin compounds in water. Particularly, it has been studied because of its role in the organic radicals linked to the tin center on the stoichiometry and the structure of the adducts. Information was obtained following the reaction between Me n SnCl 4-n (n = 1 to 3) and GSH by Mossbauer and NMR spectroscopies on the assumption that change…
New cyclic tetranuclear copper(II) complexes containing quadrilateral cores: Synthesis, structure, spectroscopy and their interactions with DNA in aq…
2017
Abstract Three new cyclic tetranuclear copper(II) complexes, Tetrakis{3-[(2-pyridylmethyl)-amino]-propionato}(tetrachloro)tetracopper(II)methanolhydrate (1·CH3OH·H2O), Tetrakis{3-[(2-pyridylmethyl)-amino]-propionato}(tetrathiocyanato)tetracopper(II) (2) and Tetrakis{3-[(2-pyridylmethyl)-amino]-propionato}(tetraazido)tetracopper(II) (3) have been synthesized by exploiting the chelating ability and bridging potential of a carboxyamine functionalized tridentate ligand, HL (HL = 3-[(2-Pyridylmethyl)-amino]-propionic acid). Complexes 1, 2 and 3 have been synthesized by carrying out reaction of the ligand HL with stoichiometric amounts of CuCl2·2H2O, CuCl2·2H2O/NH4SCN, and CuCl2·2H2O/NaN3, respec…
Copper(II)-assisted hydrolysis of 2,4,6-tris(2-pyrimidyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpymt): syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of [Cu(bpcam)…
2005
Abstract The reaction of the 2,4,6-tris(2-pyrimidyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpymt) ligand with copper(II) perchlorate or sulfate in aqueous solution affords complexes [Cu(bpcam)(H2O)2]ClO4 · 3H2O (1), [Cu(bpcam)(H2O)2][Cu(bpcam)(H2O)(SO4)] · 2H2O (2) and [Cu2(bpcam)2(H2O)2(SO4)] · H2O (3) [bpcam = bis(2-pyrimidylcarbonyl)amidate], whose structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Copper(II) promotes the hydrolysis of tpymt in mild conditions yielding the bpcam group which is present in the structures of 1–3 as a tridentate ligand. The structure of 1 consists of mononuclear [Cu(bpcam)(H2O)2]+ cations, uncoordinated perchlorate anions and water of crystallization. Th…
Stabilities and Coordination Modes of α-Alaninephosphonic Acid in Copper(II) Heteroligand Complexes with Ethylenediamine, Diethylenetriamine or N,N,N…
2011
Solution equilibrium studies on Cu2+–L1–L2 ternary systems have been performed by pH-potentiometry, UV–Vis spectrophotometry and EPR methods (L1 corresponds to polyamines such as ethylenediamine (en), diethylenetriamine (dien), or N,N,N′,N′,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (Me5dien) and L2 represents 1-aminoethylphosphonic acid (α-alaninephosphonic acid)). The obtained results suggest the formation of heteroligand complexes with [Cu(L1)(α-Ala(P))] stoichiometry in all studied systems. Additionally, in the system with en the [Cu(en)(α-Ala(P))H−1]− species is formed in basic solution. Our spectroscopic results indicate tetragonal geometry for the [Cu(en)(α-Ala(P))] species, geometry slightly …
Mononuclear and tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes with two different types of N, O donor Schiff base ligands
2013
Abstract A mononuclear Fe(III) complex of a tetradentate N 2 O 2 donor Schiff base ligand derived from 3-ethoxysalicaldehyde and ethylenediamine has been reported. In addition two tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes with discrete Fe 4 III (μ 4 -O) cores have been synthesized and characterized using two Schiff base ligands (H 2 L 1–2 ) derived from two different aromatic acid hydrazides and diacetyl monoxime. The mononuclear Fe(III) and one of the tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes have been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The mononuclear complex has a highly distorted octahedral geometry. The tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes are found to be rare examples with discre…
Novel azobenzene precursors for NLO active polyuretanes: Synthesis, quantum chemical and experimental characterization
2009
Abstract For the development of electro optical active polyurethanes six new derivatives of 2-{(2-hydroxyethyl)-[4-(4-nitrophenylazo)phenyl]amino}ethanol and two of 2-{(2-hydroxyethyl)-[4-(5-nitropyridin-2-ylazo)phenyl]amino}ethanol were synthesized by azocoupling reaction. Molecular geometry, hyperpolarizability βFF and ground state dipole moment μg were acquired by RHF ab initio (6–31G∗∗) calculations using HyperChem software package. To characterize NLO performance of synthesized azo compounds second order non linear coefficients d31 and d33 were measured as function of chromophore load in guest–host films (PMMA). Eight synthesized compounds can be grouped in four similar gross formula p…
Disorder in the crystals of trans-4-fluoroazoxybenzene. Synthesis, spectral properties, crystal structures and DFT calculations
2005
Abstract Two crystals of trans-4-fluoroazoxybenzene were obtained using two different methods. Oxidation of 4-fluoroazobenzene provided crystals of trans-4-fluoroazoxybenzene (I) consisting of two isomers; 51% α (ONN) and 49% β (NNO) isomer. From trans-amino-azoxybenzenes in Schiemann reaction it were obtained crystals of trans-4-fluoro-NNO-azoxybenzenes (II, β isomer) containing 4.7% of the α-isomer according to the HPLC analysis. The crystal structures of I and II were determined by the X-ray diffraction method. In the crystal I two nitrogen atoms of azoxy bridge and fluorine atom are disordered. In the crystal II, there are two independent molecules of trans-4-fluoroazoxybenzene; the mol…
Twotrans-4-aminoazoxybenzenes
2001
Two isomeric trans-4-aminoazoxybenzenes, trans-1-(4-aminophenyl)-2-phenyldiazene 2-oxide (alpha, C(12)H(11)N(3)O) and trans-2-(4-aminophenyl)-1-phenyldiazene 2-oxide (beta, C(12)H(11)N(3)O), have been characterized by X-ray diffraction. The alpha isomer is almost planar, having torsion angles along the C(aryl)-N bonds of only 4.9 (2) and 8.0 (2) degrees. The relatively short C(aryl)-N bond to the non-oxidized site of the azoxy group [1.401 (2) A], together with the significant quinoid deformation of the respective phenyl ring, is evidence of conjugation between the aromatic sextet and the pi-electron system of the azoxy group. The geometry of the beta isomer is different. The non-substitute…
Toward the development of metal-based synthetic nucleases: DNA binding and oxidative DNA cleavage of a mixed copper(II) complex with N-(9H-purin-6-yl…
2009
Abstract The complex [Cu(N9-ABS)(phen) 2 ]·3.6H 2 O, H 2 N9-ABS = N -(9 H -purin-6-yl)benzenesulfonamide and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, has been synthesized and then characterized with the aid of X-ray diffraction, analytical, and spectroscopic techniques. The geometry of Cu(II) is distorted square pyramidal with the equatorial positions occupied by three N atoms from two phenantroline molecules and one N atom from the adenine ring of the sulfonamide ligand. The interaction of the complex with DNA was studied by means of viscosity measurements and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results pointed to a classic intercalation of the complex between the DNA base pairs. The complex was found to b…
