Synthesis,characterization and charge-transfer photochemistry of trans-aquo azido-N,N′-trimethylenebis(naphthylideneiminato)chromium(III)

A new Cr^III complex, viz. trans-[Cr(naphprn)(H₂O)₂]ClO₄·2H₂O, (1) {naphprn=N,N-trimethylenebis(naphthylideneimine)} has been synthesized and characterized. Aquo ligand substitution of ( 1 ) by the azide ligand gave rise to trans-[Cr(naphprn)(N₃)(H₂O)], ( 2 ). Irradiation of ( 2) in DMF gave nitrido(naphprn)chromium(V) ( 3 ). Solutions of ( 3 ) showed e.p.r. spectra at room temperature (g _iso=1.9865). The i.r. spectra showed disappearance of a band at 2067cm^–1 showing the breakdown of NN and appearance of a new band at 1074cm^–1which is assigned to the Cr¹⁴N, stretching frequency indicating the formation of a nitrido chromium(V) complex, ( 3). The u.v.–vis. spectrum of complex ( 3 ) exhibited a d–d band maximum at 553nm (=120M^–1cm^–1). The rate of formation of ( 2 ) was found to be 5.0×10^–3M^–1s^–1 in an aqueous acidic medium at [Cr^III]=0.5×10^–3M; [N₃ ^–]=0.01–0.15M; [H⁺]=0.001M and I=0.2M (LiClO₄). The rate of photo-decomposition of ( 2 ) to give rise to ( 3 ) was found to be 0.15×10^–3s^–1 in DMF.     

Synthesis and characterization of chloro-bis(quinoline-2-carboxylato-κ2N,O)gallium(III)

The preparation and characterization of a new gallium(III) complex with quinoline-2-carboxylate, of formula [Ga(quin-2-c)₂Cl], are described. The crystal structure of the complex has been determined by X-ray diffraction, crystallizing in monoclinic space group P2₁/n with Ga(III) adopting a distorted tetragonal pyramid. Gallium(III) coordinates two quinoline-2-carboxylates and one chloride with a Cl,N₂,O₂ donor set. In the crystal the 2-D supramolecular structure is generated by weak intermolecular interactions, C–H?···?O, C–H?···?Cl, and C–H?···?π. The cytotoxicity assays against several human cancer cell lines (Du145, A549, MCF-7, A498, HT-29) and against mouse fibroblasts (BALB/3T3) revealed moderate antiproliferative activity of the complex.

In this work, we describe the syntheses, characterization, and antifungal activity of [In{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (1), [Ga{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (2), [Bi{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (3), [In{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (4), [Ga{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (5), and [Bi{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (6) {R?=?Me; R¹?=?CH₂CH(OMe)₂; and R²?=?2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane}. All complexes have been characterized using infrared and ¹H and ¹³C spectroscopy, and the structures of 1, 3, 4, and 6 have been authenticated by X-ray diffraction. The In(III)–dithiocarbamate bonding scheme depicts a distorted octahedral with asymmetric In(III)–S bonds and S–In–S angles. A pentagonal bipyramid is observed for the corresponding Bi(III) complexes with intermolecular Bi–S associations through the lone pair of electrons. The antifungal activities of 1–6 have been screened against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Penicillium citrinum, and the results have been compared with those of nystatin and miconazole nitrate, as control drugs.     

Synthesis of phthalonitriles containing ω-alkenyl, ω-(alkylsulfanyl)alkyl, and ω-(alkylsulfonyl)alkyl substituents and phthalocyanine derivatives based thereon

Alkylation of phthalonitrile radical anion sodium salt with terminal alkenyl bromides (4-bromobut-1-ene, 5-bromopent-1-ene, and 6-bromohex-1-ene) gave the corresponding 4-alkenylphthalonitriles which reacted with alkanethiols (BuSH and n-C₁₀H₂₁SH) to produce 4-(ω-alkylsulfanylalkyl)phthalonitriles. Oxidation of the latter with hydrogen peroxide afforded 4-(ω-alkylsulfonylalkyl)phthtalonitriles. 4-Alkenyl- and 4-(ω-alkylsulfonylalkyl)phthalonitriles were brought into condensation with zinc(II) acetate to obtain the corresponding zinc phthalocyanines.

Extraction chromatographic study of aluminium(III) and mutual separation of aluminium(III), gallium(III), indium(III) and thallium(III) with N-n-octylaniline

A selective method has been developed for extraction chromatographic studies of aluminium(III) and its separation from several metal ions with a chromatographic column containing N-n-octylaniline (liquid anion exchanger) coated on silanized silica gel as a stationary phase. The aluminium(III) was quantitatively extracted with the 0.065 mol/L N-n-octylaninine from 0.013 to 0.05 mol/L sodium succinate at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The extracted metal ion has been recovered by eluting with 25.0 mL of 0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid and estimated spectrophotometrically with aurintricarboxylic acid. The effects of the acid concentration, the reagent concentration, the flow rate and the eluting agents have been investigated. The log-log plots of distribution coefficient (KdAl(III)) versus N-n-octylaniline concentrationin 0.005 and 0.007 mol/L sodium succinate gave theslopes 0.5 and 0.7 respectively and showed theprobable composition of theextracted species was 1:1 (metal to amine ratio) and the nature of extracted species is [RR''NH2+ Al succinate2-] org. .The extraction of aluminium(III) was carried out in the presence of various ions to ascertain the tolerance limit of individual ions. Aluminium(III) has been separated from multicomponent mixtures, pharmaceutical samples and synthetic mixtures corresponding to alloys. A scheme for mutual separation of aluminium(III), indium(III), gallium(III) and thallium(III) has been developed by using suitable masking agents. The method is fast, accurate and precise.

By employing trans-dicyano or pentacyanometalate as building block and using a bicompartimental Schiffbase based manganese(III) compound as assemble segment, two new cyanide-bridged heterometallic Fe(III)–Mn(III) complexes {[Mn(L)(H₂O)][Febpb(CN)₂]}·2CH₃OH (1) and {[Mn(L)(H₂O)]₂··[Fe(CN)₅NO]} (2) (bpb^2– = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)benzenate, L = N,N'-ethylene-bis(3-ethoxysalicylideneiminate) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray structure determination. Single X-ray diffraction analysis reveals binuclear FeMn and trinuclear FeMn₂ structure, respectively, in which the cyanide precursor acts as mono- or bidentate ligand to connect the Mn(III) Schiff-base unit(s). Furthermore, these two complexes are self-complementary through coordinated aqua ligands from one complex and the free O₄ compartments from the neighboring complex, giving dimeric and 1D single chain supramolecular structure. Investigation of the magnetic susceptibility of 1 reveals weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the adjacent Mn(III) ions.
