The compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Four different assays were applied for evaluating antioxidant capacity of the compounds. The results obtained indicated a diametric square planar geometry for both cobalt (±)-2-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid complex and its mixed ligand complex. It was suggested that for the binary cobalt(II) complex, the phenolic substituent coordinated with neighbouring central metal ions. However, for the ternary cobalt(II) complex it was suggested it was deprotonated. Octahedral geometry was proposed for both copper complexes. Square planar geometry was indicated for the nickel?(±)-2-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid complex and a mixture of square planar and octahedral geometry for the nickel mixed ligand complex. The cobalt mixed ligand complex elicited the highest activity for all the antioxidant assays. In most cases the binary complexes exhibited better antimicrobial activities relative to their ternary counterparts.展开更多

The single crystal X-ray structure analysis of these compounds indicates that in compound 1 the Zn(Ⅱ) atom is coordinated by four monodentate carboxylato groups on the equatorial plane and two aqua ligands occupy the axial coordination positions. The pendant oxygen atoms form strong hydrogen bonds with the aqua molecules which results in the stability of this structure. In compound 2, two Zn(Ⅱ) atoms are bridged by a pair of carboxylato groups, showing a skew-bridge mode, and thus enabling a long Zn(Ⅱ)…Zn(Ⅱ) separation. As we know, it is a dinuclear coordination compound with the longest Zn…Zn separation.展开更多

文摘A novel luminescent coordination compound Eu(TTA)3(DEDAF)(1, TTA = 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(2-thenoyl)acetone, DEDAF = 9,9-diethyl-4,5-diazafluoren) has been synthesized and fully characterized by infrared spectrum, elemental analysis, UV-vis spectrum, etc. X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis reveals that compound 1 shows a mononuclear structure with the europium atom in coordinating to one DAF and three TTA ligands. The mononuclear structure units are assembled into a 3-D polymer by hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions. Photoluminescent property of 1 was investigated in detail at room temperature. Complex 1 emits strong red luminescence. However, it could be quenched even by small amount of water. The fluorescence intensity at 614 nm decreases linearly with the water content increasing(vol% in acetonitrile) in the range of 0.025~0.2% under 278 nm excitation. Thermogravimetric analysis has also been studied, which demonstrates good thermal stability of 1.

Structures of 1~5 range from discrete 0 D monomers(1 and 5) to 1 D coordination polymers(2 and 4) and 2 D metal-organic network(3). A broad structural diversity of 1~5 is guided by the type of the metal(Ⅱ) node and the introduction of auxiliary ligands. The magnetic(for 2) and luminescent(for 3~5) properties were also investigated and discussed.

The structure of compound 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 8.419(2), b = 12.286(2), c = 28.451(6) ?, β = 95.889(3)°, V =2927.5(10) ?3, Z = 4, C36 H16 MnF2 Cl2 N8, Mr = 724.41, Dc = 1.644 g/cm3, F(000) = 1460, μ(Mo Ka)= 0.691 mm-1, R = 0.0445 and wR = 0.0982. Adjacent compounds are stacked by one type of π-πinteraction among L ligands to generate a 1D supramolecular chain. Further, the 1D supramolecular chains are stacked by another type of π-π interaction among L ligands to give a 2D supramolecular layer. Moreover, the C-F···π interactions between the carbon atom of the L ligand and the pyrazine ring of the adjacent L ligand further stabilize the supramolecular layer of 1. In addition, natural bond orbital(NBO) analysis has been calculated by the B3LYP/LANL2DZ method, which shows obvious covalent interaction between the coordinated atoms and Mn(Ⅱ) ion.

文摘Coordination compounds of (±)-2-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid and their mixed ligand complexes with 1,10-phenantroline were synthesized, characterized using electronic and infrared spectral analyses and magnetic susceptibility. The compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Four different assays were applied for evaluating antioxidant capacity of the compounds. The results obtained indicated a diametric square planar geometry for both cobalt (±)-2-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid complex and its mixed ligand complex. It was suggested that for the binary cobalt(II) complex, the phenolic substituent coordinated with neighbouring central metal ions. However, for the ternary cobalt(II) complex it was suggested it was deprotonated. Octahedral geometry was proposed for both copper complexes. Square planar geometry was indicated for the nickel?(±)-2-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid complex and a mixture of square planar and octahedral geometry for the nickel mixed ligand complex. The cobalt mixed ligand complex elicited the highest activity for all the antioxidant assays. In most cases the binary complexes exhibited better antimicrobial activities relative to their ternary counterparts.

文摘In this work,we have reported the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of captopril(Cap)coordination compounds:Cu(Cap)·2H 2O,Cr(Cap)·H 2O,Zn(Cap)·3H 2O and Mg(Cap)4.Herein,it is worthily mentioned that the FTIR spectroscopic technique was employed to recognized the nature of coordination between captopril ligand and copper,chromium,zinc and magnesium(Ⅱ)metal ions.In view of the infrared spectroscopic tool,the copper(Ⅱ)metal ion coordinated toward captopril drug ligand through sulfur atom of SH group dependent on the absent of stretching vibration band of—SH.Based on this result,the stretching motion ofνa(COO)shifts clearly indicates that Cu 2+,Cr 2+,Zn 2+and Mg 2+the carboxylic group is employed as coordinative site for all compounds as a metal-ligand coordinative bond.As a general behavior,it is verified that the coordination compound thermal stability(considering the release of captopril molecules,not the release of water molecules)is affected by the metal cation radius:minor radius is associated with higher thermal stability,probably due to a higher metal-captopril bond dissociation enthalpy.

The crystal structure indicates that the title compound belongs to monoclinic space group C _c, with unit cell dimensions a =2.4528(5) nm, b =1.9495(4) nm, c =2.4405(5) nm, β =109.94(3)°, Z =4, V =10.970 (4) nm^3, D _c=2.262 g·cm^(-3), R 1=0.0676, wR 2=0.1441. The ESR spectrum of powder of the title compound at 110 K after being exposed to sunlight shows the signal of Mo^(5+), g =1.95. Cyclic voltammetry was measured in aqueous solution containing 0.1 mol·L^(-1) KCl as the supporting electrolyte and shows that the title compound undergoes two one-electron reversible reductions.
文摘A new method is proposed for determining the composition and stability constant of coordination compounds of the form M m R n ; it can be used to differentiate mono and poly nuclear coordination compounds. The equation derived is lg( A i/(A max - A i) m)=n lg c′ R+lg( m·β(c M/A max ) ( m -1) ). The method is based on Bent French limited logarithm method. The demonstration of the proposed method has yielded correct results for Sc 3+ chlorophosphonazo Ⅲ system and Fe 3+ Chromazurol S system.
文摘Two novel coordination compounds of Zn(Ⅱ) with Ph_3P+(CH_2)_2CO-_2(L), namely, [ZnL_4(H_2O)_2]·(ClO_4)_2·2H_2O(compound 1) and [Zn_2Cl_4(μ-L-O,O′)_2](compound 2), have been prepared. The single crystal X-ray structure analysis of these compounds indicates that in compound 1 the Zn(Ⅱ) atom is coordinated by four monodentate carboxylato groups on the equatorial plane and two aqua ligands occupy the axial coordination positions. The pendant oxygen atoms form strong hydrogen bonds with the aqua molecules which results in the stability of this structure. In compound 2, two Zn(Ⅱ) atoms are bridged by a pair of carboxylato groups, showing a skew-bridge mode, and thus enabling a long Zn(Ⅱ)…Zn(Ⅱ) separation. As we know, it is a dinuclear coordination compound with the longest Zn…Zn separation.
文摘In the presence of ethyl alcohol or emulsifier OP,molybdenum(Ⅵ) forms 1∶1∶1'water soluble colored coordination com- pound with both of 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (abbreviation TAE) and hydroxylamine.This deep blue coordination compound is inert characteristically and remains stable in 1.7 mol/L sulfuric acid,2.4 mol/L hydrochloric or ni- tric acid.It will not be decomposed by masking agents even on boiled,while in that case,almost all the colored coordination com- pounds formed by other metal ions will be decomposed completely.This inert character of the coordination compound of molybdenum(Ⅵ) and its utilization in improving the analytical selectivity have been discussed.In the coexistence of various for- eign ions,especially in the presence of a great quantity of tungsten,which always interferes with the determination of molybdenum,the direct determination of molybdenum in the aqueous solution by applying this system has shown an acceptable sensitivity and reproducibility.From the results of determination in some synthetic and standard samples,it seems feasible to use this system in the determination of molybdenum in nonferrous alloys.
