Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes containing 2-(2-(5-substitued isoxazol-3-yl)hydrazono)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione ligands: Synthesis, spectral and thermal characterizations

Two new hydrazone chelating ligands, 2-(2-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)hydrazono)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (HL1) and 2-(2-(5-tert-butylisoxazol-3-yl)hydrazono)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane- 1,3-dione (HL2), and their nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes were synthesized using the procedure of diazotization, coupling and metallization. Their structures were postulated based on elemental analysis, H-1 NMR, ESI-MS, FT-IR spectra and UV-vis electronic absorption spectra. Smooth films of these complexes on K9 glass substrates were prepared using spin-coating and their absorption properties were evaluated. The thermal properties of the metal(II) complexes were investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermogravimetry (DTG). Different thermodynamic and kinetic parameters namely activation energy (E

A novel tetraaza macrocyclic Schiff base ligand, 6,13-dinitro-5,7,12,14-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-1,5,7,-12-tetraene, was prepared and its copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes were characterized. This ligand was found to be an excellent extractant for copper(II).

Constructing mixed-metal coordination polymers from copper(II)-pyridinedicarboxylate metalloligands

In the mixed-metal complex catena-poly[bis[diaquasilver(I)] [bis[aquacopper(II)]-mu(3)-pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylato-2': 1: 1'kappa N-5,O-2: O-5: O-5, O-5'-mu-pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylato-2: 1 kappa(4) N, O-2: O-5, O-5'-disilver(I)-mu(3)-pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylato-1: 1': 2 '' kappa(5) O-5, O-5': O-5: N, O-2-mu pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylato-1': 20 ''kappa(4) O-5, O-5': N, O-2] hexahydrate], {[Ag(H2O)(2)][AgCu(C7H3NO4)(2)(H2O)] center dot 3H(2)O}(n), a square-pyramidal Cu-II center is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate (2,5-pydc) ligands and a water molecule, forming a [Cu(2,5-pydc)(2)-( H2O)](2-) metalloligand. One Ag I center is coordinated by five O atoms from three 2,5-pydc ligands and, as a result, the [Cu(2,5-pydc)(2)(H2O)](2-) metalloligands act as linkers in a unique mu(3)-mode connecting Ag-I centers into a one-dimensional anionic double chain along the [101] direction.

A polymorph of diaquabis(pyrazine-2-carboxylato-kappa N-2(1),O)copper(II)

The title compound, [Cu(C5H3N2O2)(2)(H2O)(2)], is a new polymorph of the previously reported compound [Klein et al. (1982). Inorg. Chem. 21, 1891-1897]. The Cu-II atom, lying on an inversion center, is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two pyrazine-2-carboxylate ligands and by two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry with the water molecules occupying the axial sites. Intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O, O-H center dot center dot center dot N and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds connect the complex molecules into a two-dimensional layer parallel to (10 (1) over bar), whereas the previously reported polymorph exhibits a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.

Magnetic Coupling between Copper(II) Ions Mediated by Hydrogen-Bonded (Neutral) Water Molecules

A new hydrogen-bonded dinuclear copper(II) coordination compound has been synthesized from the Schiff-base ligand 6-(pyridine-2-ylhydrazonomethyl)phenol (Hphp). The molecular structure of [Cu-2(php)(2)(H2O2)(2)(ClO4)](ClO4)- (H2O) (1), determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, reveals the presence of two copper(II) centers held together by means of two strong hydrogen bonds, with O center dot O contacts of only 2.60-2.68 angstrom. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements down to 3 K show that the two metal ions are antiferromagnetically coupled (J = -19.8(2) cm(-1)). This exchange is most likely through two hydrogen-bonding pathways, where a coordinated water on the first Cu, donates a H bond to the O atoms of the coordinated php at the other Cu. This strong O center dot H (water) bonding interaction has been clearly evidenced by theoretical calculations. In the relatively few related cases from the literature, this exchange path, mediated by a (neutral) coordinated water molecule, was not recognized.

PH-Dependent syntheses and structures of two Copper(II)/Phenanthroline/p-Sulfonatocalix[4]arene supramolecular compounds with 1D water-filled channels

Two copper-organic framework supramolecular assemblies of p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and 1,10-phenanthroline Cu-2[C12H8N2][C28H20S4O16][H2O](23.5) (1) and Cu-3[C12H8N2](3)[C28H19S4O16]Cl[H2O](17.6) (2) were obtained by pH-dependent synthesis at room temperature. Both structures show ID water-filled channels (rectangular shape in I and triangular in 2) with the solvent-accessible volume occupying 30.8% (1) and 24.2% (2) of the unit-cell volume, respectively. The calixarene molecules in both structures assume analogous cone shapes of C-2 nu symmetry instead of the conventional C-4 nu symmetry. Their connecting to different amounts of copper/phenanthroline cations leads to the formation of different structures.

Hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of a sulfur-bridged binuclear copper(II) coordination polymer generated by a spontaneous reduction

A simultaneous reduction SO42- to S2- by 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylate under hydrothermal conditions produced a new binuclear copper(II) coordination polymer [CuS(4,4'-bipy)](n) (4,4-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine) (1). Single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that compound I consisted of sulfur-bridged binuclear copper(II) units with Cu-Cu bonding which were combined with 4,4-bipy to generate a three-dimensional network constructed from mutual interpenetration of two-dimensional (6,3) nets. Crystal data for 1:C10H8CuN2S, tetragonal 14(1)/acd, a = 14.0686(5) Angstrom, b = 14.0686(5) Angstrom, c = 38.759(2) Angstrom, Z = 32. Other characterizations by elemental analysis, IR, EPR and TGA analysis were also described in this paper.

Tetraaqua(1,10-phenanthroline-kappa(2) N, N ')copper(II)naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate dihydrate

In the title structure, [Cu(C12H8N2)(H2O)(4)](C10H6S2O6)center dot-2H(2)O, the cation lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and the anion lies on a centre of inversion. The Cu-II atom is coordinated by two N atoms of a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four O atoms from four water ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The unique Cu-O distances are 2.054 (2) and 2.088 (2) angstrom and the Cu-N distance is 2.073 (2) angstrom. In the crystal structure, a three-dimensional supramolecular framework is constructed by extensive intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds.

Oxamido-bridged heterobinuclear copper(II)-nickel(II) complex and homotrinuclear nickel(II) complex with 2D supramolecular structure: synthesis, crystal structure, magnetic and spectroscopic properties

The oxamido-bridged heterobinuclear copper(II)-nickel(II) complex, [Cu(oxbe)Ni(phen)(2)]ClO4.3H(2)O (1) and homotrinuclear nickel(11) complex {[Ni(oxbe)](2)Ni(H2O)(2)}.2.5DMF (2) have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR, EPR. and electronic spectra and magnetic susceptibility, where H(3)oxbe is dissymmetrical ligand N-benzoato-N'-(2-aminoethyl)ox-amido, phen = 1.10-phenanthroline, DMF = dimethylformamide. Complex I has an extended oxamido-bridged structure consisting of planar copper(II) and octahedral nickel(II) ions. The chi(M) and mu(eff) versus T plots of 1 is typical of an antiferromagnetically coupled Cu(II)-Ni(II,) pair with a spin-doublet ground state, and magnetic analysis leads to J = -57.1 cm(-1). The molecular structure of 2 is centrosymmetrical, with one octahedral nickel atom lying at an inversion center and two terminal Ni(II) atoms in approximately square planar environment. Through the hydrogen bonds and pi- pi stacking interactions, a 2D supramolecular structure is formed.

Preparation and gas sensitivity of octa-n-butoxy-2,3-naphthalocyanine copper(II) Langmuir-Blodgett film

The formation process of monolayer of octa-n-butoxy-2,3-naphthalocyanine copper ( I), [CuNc(OBu)(8)], on water subphase was studied. Its multilayers were successifully deposited on the hydrophilic substrates by Z-type deposition mode using LB technique. Stable solid film with a limiting molecular area of 0.74 nm(2) and a collapse pressure of 55 mN/m were formed. The LB film structure was characterized by IR and electronic absorption spectra. Macrocycle of CuNc (OBu)(8) molecules have a face-to-face arrangement in the multilayers. These films have good sensitivities to vapor of alcohols, with the following sequence of sensitivities: i-PrOH>EtOH>MeOH. The response time and recovery time of the LB films to vapor of MeOH, EtOH and i-PrOH[volume fraction (1-5) X 10(-5)] were within 2 and 5 seconds respectively, while those of the LB films to ammonia(1 X 10(-4)) were 30-60 seconds and 4-5 minutes respectively.

Surface-renewable cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrate-modified graphite organosilicate electrode and its electrocatalytic oxidation of thiosulfate

Cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) was deposited on graphite powder by an in situ chemical deposition procedure and then dispersed into methyltrimethoxysilane-derived gels to prepare a surface-renewable CoHCF-modified electrode. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode in different supporting electrolyte solutions was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. In addition, square-wave voltammetry was employed to investigate the pNa-dependent electrochemical behavior of the electrode. The CoHCF-modified electrode showed a high electrocatalytic activity toward thiosulfate oxidation and could thus be used as an amperometric thiosulfate sensor.

Amperometric determination of thiosulfate at a surface-renewable nickel(II) hexacyanoferrate-modified carbon ceramic electrode

Graphite powder-supported nickel(II) hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) was prepared by the in situ chemical deposition method and then dispersed into methyltrimethoxysilane-derived gels to form a conductive composite. The composite was used as electrode material to construct a surface-renewable three-dimensional NiHCF-modified carbon ceramic electrode. Electrochemical behavior of the chemically modified electrode was well characterized using cyclic and square-wave voltammetry. The electrode presented a good electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidization of thiosulfate and thus was used as an amperometric sensor for thiosulfate in the photographic waste effluent. In addition, the electrode exhibited a distinct advantage of surface-renewal by simple mechanical polishing, as well as simple preparation, good chemical and mechanical stability.
