Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of a Novel Cobalt(II) Complex Based on 3-Methyl-1-Phenyl-4-(2-Thienoyl)-Pyrazol-5-One

New cobalt(II) complex, [Co(O2C15H11N2S)2(OH2)2]∙2H2O (1∙2H2O), has been synthesized upon reaction of cobalt chloride hexahydrate (Co(Cl)2∙6H2O) with 3-methyl-1-Phenyl-4-(2-thienoyl)-pyrazol-5-one (referred as HL) in ethanol at room temperature. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), spectroscopic methods, and microelemental analyses were used to characterize 1∙2H2O. Compound 1∙2H2O crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system with a Pbca space group and with the cobalt atom being pseudo-octahedral coordinated. The broth microdilution technique was used to screen the free ligand (HL) and the complex (1∙2H2O) for antimicrobial activities. HL has a low activity (MIC > 100 μg/mL) on all microorganisms, whereas compound 1∙2H2O displayed moderate activity (10 ∙2H2O exhibited bactericidal and fungicidal activity respectively on all the bacteria and yeasts tested. These findings reveal that the antimicrobial activity of HL was enhanced upon coordination to Co(II) ion against all microorganisms (bacteria and fungus).

A new compound,N,N＇-bis[（1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-oxo-4-pyrazolinyl）-α-furylme-thylidyne]ethylenediimine （（HPMαFP）2en）,has been synthesized and characterized by IR spectra,thermogravimetric analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes in a monoclinic system,space group P21/c with a = 10.7485（11）,b = 7.6972（8）,c = 16.8367（18） ,β = 93.937（2）o,Z = 2,V = 1389.7（3） 3,Dc = 1.340 g/cm3,F（000） = 588.0,μ = 0.091 and S = 1.016. Structural analysis indicates that （HPMαFP）2en exists in an amine-one form. The molecules are well ordered through two intramolecular （N（3）-H（3）···O（1） and C（2）-H（2）···O（1）） and one intermolecular C（3）-H（3）···O（1） hydrogen bonds,leading to the formation of 1D infinite chains. The interactions of these hydrogen bonds contribute to the stabilization of the compound.
