Lanthanide perchlorate complexes of 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide and 5-nitroisoquinoline-2-oxide

Novel complexes of lanthanide perchlorates with 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (NQNO) and 5-nitroisoquinoline-2-oxide (NIQNO) have been prepared and characterized. The complexes have the general formulaeLn(NQNO)8(ClO4)3 (whereLn=La-Nd), Ln(NQNO)7(ClO4)3 (whereLn=Gd-Yb),Ln(NIQNO)9(ClO4)3 (whereLn=La-Nd), andLn(NIQNO)7(ClO4)3 (whereLn=Gd-Yb). The IR, proton NMR spectral data indicate the coordination of the N—O group of the ligands to he lanthanide ions.

Molecular orbital studies on some 4-substituted pyridine N-oxides and 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide

The electronic structures of a series of 4-substituted pyridine N-oxides and 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide are investigated using the simple Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP), a modified PPP, IEH and MINDO/2 methods. The electronic absorption band maxima and dipole moments are calculated and compared with experimental values. The photoelectron spectra of these compounds are assigned. The nature of the N-oxide group is characterized using the orbital population distributions. The antifungal activity exhibited by some of these compounds is discussed in terms of the nucleophilic frontier electron densities, superdelocalizabilities and electron acceptor properties. The effect of the electron releasing as well as the electron withdrawing substituents on the physico-chemical properties is explained.

Complexes of lanthanide iodides with 4-methylpyridine-1-oxide and 2-methylpyridine-1-oxide

Complexes of lanthanide iodides with 4-methylpyridine-1-oxide and 2-methylpyridine-1-oxide of the formulae Ln(4-MePyO)8I3.xH2O (x=0 or 2) and Ln(2-MePyO)5I3.xH2O (x=0, 1 or 3) have been prepared and characterized by analyses, conductance, infrared and proton NMR data. Infrared spectra of the complexes indicate that the coordination of the ligand to the metal ion takes place through the oxygen of the N-O group of the ligand. Proton NMR data for the paramagnetic complexes indicate that both contact and pseudocontact interactions are responsible for the isotropic shifts. Proton NMR spectra of the 2-methylpyridine-1-oxide complexes indicate a restricted rotation of the ligand about the N-O group.

2,4-Lutidine-1-oxide complexes of lanthanide perchlorates

2,4-Lutidine-1-oxide (2,4-LutO) complexes of lanthanide perchlorates of the formulae Ln2(2,4-LutO)13(ClO4)6 (Ln = Pr and Nd) and Ln2(2,4-LutO)15 (ClO4)6 (Ln = La, Tb, Dy, Ho and Yb) have been prepared and characterised by chemical analysis, IR, NMR, conductance and electronic spectral data. Proton NMR data along with the IR data show that the ligand coordinates to the metal ion through the oxygen. Conductance data of the complexes in acetone and nitrobenzene indicate that the perchlorate is not coordinated to the metal ion.

Preparation, IR and nuclear magnetic resonance studies on the rare-earth perchlorate complexes of 3-methylpyridine-1-oxide

THE COMPLEXES of pyridine-l-oxide and 2- and 4-substituted pyridine-l-oxides have been investigated previously[l]. The complexes of 3-substituted pyfidine-l-oxides, however, have received little attention. The rare-earth complexes of pyridine-Ioxide[l, 2], 4-methylpyridine- l-oxide [1] and 2,6- dimethylpyfidine-l-oxide[3,4] have been reported earlier. The present paper deals with the isolation and characterisation of 3-methylpyridine-l-oxide (3-Picoline-N-oxide, 3-PicNO) complexes with rare-earth perchlorates.

Complexes of lanthanide iodides with 3-methylpyridine-1-oxide

Complexes of lanthanide iodides with 3-methylpyridine-1-oxide of the formula Ln(3-MePyO)8I3.xH2O where x = 0 for Ln = La and Tb, x = 1 for Ln = Pr, and x = 2 for Ln = Nd, Sm, Dy, Yb, and Y have been prepared and characterized by chemical analyses, conductance, infrared, proton nmr, and DTA data. Infrared and proton nmr data have been interpreted in terms of the coordination of the ligand to the metal ion through the oxygen of the N—O group. Proton nmr spectrum of the Yb(III) complex is indicative of a restricted rotation of the pyridine ring about the N—O bond.

Pyridine-1-oxide complexes of lanthanide iodides

Pyridine-1-oxide complexes of lanthanide iodides of the formulaLn(PyO)8I3 whereLn=La, Pr, Nd, Tb, Dy, Er, and Yb have been prepared and characterised by analyses, molecular weight, conductance, infrared and proton NMR data. Proton NMR and IR data have shown the coordination of the ligand to the metal through the oxygen atom of the N–O group. NMR data have been interpreted in terms of a distorted square antiprismatic geometry in solution.
