Comparative Studies of Some Novel Cu(II) Polymeric Complexes Derived from Cyanoacetylhydrazine (CAH;L). The Role of Solvents Used on the Structure and Geometry of the Isolated Cu²⁺Complexes

Novel polymeric Cu2+ complexes derived from the reaction of cyanoacetylhydrazine (CAH;L) with CuCl2•2H2O in different solvents were synthesized and characterized. The isolated solid polymeric complexes were investigated using modern conventional physicochemical and spectral (IR, 1H-NMR, UV-Vis. ESR, Raman), magnetic and thermal studies. The results revealed that CAH behaves in different ways towards the coordination of the Cu2+ ion. The promotion of solvents to the cyano group was discussed on the basis of the solvent and the Cu2+ ion used. Magnetic and spectral studies suggest octahedral geometry is proposed for the Cu2+ complexes. EPR studies indicate the existence of polymeric complexes depending on the results of g-values. The results suggest that the number of copper atoms ranges from three to twelve atoms. The molecular modeling is drawn and some chemical characteristics are calculated such as chemical reactivity and energy components are investigated between the different types of the ligands.

Analytical, Spectral, Thermal and Molecular Modeling Studies of Hg2+-2,3-Butanedionemonoxime Girard’s T Hydrazone Complex and Its Application

The coordination behavior of 2,3-butanedionemonoxime Girard’s T hydrazone (L1) towards Hg2+ ion has been investigated. The structure of Hg2+ complex, [Hg(L1)Cl]Cl·5H2O, is elucidated using elemental analyses, spectral (IR, UV-visible, 1H-NMR and mass) and TGA measurements. IR spectrum suggests that L1 behaves in a bidentate manner through the azomethine groups. The molecular modeling of L1 and its Hg2+ complex has been investigated. The bond lengths, bond angles, HOMO and LUMO have been calculated. The thermal behavior and kinetic parameters are determined using Coats-Redfern method. The use of L1 for preconcentration and separation via flotation of Hg2+ complex and determination using cold vapor atomic spectrometry (CVAAS) is described. The effects on the percentage of recovered Hg2+ by pH of sample solutions, oleic acid (HOL) concentration, Hg2+ and L1 concentrations are studied in details. The method is applied for the determination of the total Hg2+ (mg·mL-1) in natural water samples.

New Square-Pyramidal Oxovanadium (IV) Complexes Derived from Polydentate Ligand (L1)

New series of oxovanadium (IV) complexes isolated from 2,4,6-tris-(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (L1) are incorporated and portrayed using spectroscopic (IR, UV-Vis, ESR, mass spectrometric), magnetic moment, thermal and cyclic voltammetry measurements. The results demonstrate that L1 acts in various styles of chelation with [V3O3(L1)(SO4)3(EtOH)1/2(H2O)3/2] 1), [VO(L1)(2,4-pentadionate)]·Cl·4HCl 2), [V2O2(L1)(SO4)2(EtOH)5/2] 3), [V2O2(L1)(SO4)2(EtOH)3/2(H2O)1/2] 4), [VO(L1)SO4 (H2O)3/2]·2.5H2O 5) and [V2O2(L1)(SO4)2(H2O)]·H2O 6). The values of magnetic moments and spectral studies suggest a square-pyramidal geometry around the V (IV) ion for all complexes. The molar conductance values suggest that the complexes are non-electrolyte, except the [VO(L1) (2,4-pentadionate)] Cl·4HCl. Molecular modeling calculates the bond length, bond angle, chemical reactivity, energy components (Kcal/mol) and binding energy (Kcal/mol) for the isolated complexes. The in vitro antibacterial studies of these complexes screened against pathogenic bacteria prove them as growth inhibiting agents. Antitumor activity is carried out in vitro on human mammary gland (breast) MCF-7 and cervical cancer cell-HeLa has shown that [VO(L1)SO4(H2O)3/2]·2.5 H2O and [VO(L1)(2,4-pentadionate)] Cl·4HCl complexes display the highest powerful activity between all of the investigated complexes.

Structural, Theoretical and Biological Studies of (Z)-3-Amino-N-(3-Amino Pyrazine-2-Carbonyl) Pyrazine-2-Carbohydrazonic Acid (APA;L) and Its Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Pt⁴⁺and Pd²⁺Chelates

New chelates derived from the novel ligand, (Z)-3-amino-N-(3-amino pyrazine-2-carbonyl)pyrazine-2-carbohydrazonic acid (APA, L), with Cu2+, Co2+, Pt4+ and Pd2+ salts were investigated. The results suggest that APA acts as mononegative tridentate in the case of Cu2+, binegative tetradentate in the case of Co2+ and as mononegative bidentate towards Pt4+ and Pd2+ chelates. The results of the corrected μeff. and spectral suggest the structures of the isolated chelates. The results of the corrected μeff. and spectral suggest the geometries of the isolated chelates. Molecular modeling is deduced and chemical reactivity, energy components for chelates and also MEP for APA is illustrated. In Vitro, the SOD and radical scavengers like activity of the synthesized compounds Hep G2 liver cancer cells and cytotoxic activity were checked. Metal chelates show potent anti-oxidative activity. The results of cytotoxic activity assay against hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Hep G2 confirmed that Pt4+ complex has the highest value, while APA, Cu2+, Co2+ and Pd2+ chelates have no significant cytotoxic activity.
