Two hydrazone ligands （E）-N＇-（2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzylidene）-2-hydroxybenzo- hydrazide （HLa） and （E）-N＇-（3,5-dichloro-2- hydroxybenzylidene）-4-methoxybenzohydrazide （HLb） were prepared and characterized by IR, UV-Vis and 1H NMR spectra. Based on the hydrazone ligands, two new structurally similar vanadium（V） complexes, [VOLaL].CH3OH （1） and [vOLbL] （2）, where L is the monoanionic form of benzohydroxamic acid （HL）, were prepared and characterized by IR and UV-Vis spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes as the monoclinic space group P21/n, with a = 7.5208（10）, b = 15.490（2）, c = 20.8929（18） A, β = 96.373（2）°, V = 2418.9（5） A3, Z = 4, R = 0.0831, wR = 0.2607 and GOOF = 1.061. Complex 2 crystallizes as the monoclinic space group P21/c, with a = 11.8577（18）, b = 16.468（2）, c = 12.2288（18） A, β = 106.064（2）°, V= 2294.7（6） A3, Z = 4, R= 0.0741, wR= 0.1745 and GOOF= 1.014. X-ray analysis indicates that the complexes are mononuclear vanadium （V） species, with the V atoms located in the octahedral coordination. The hydrazone ligands and the complexes were evaluated for their antibacterial （Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas fluorescence） and antifungal （Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger） activities by MTT （3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide） method.

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.

Two oxo-vanadium（IV） complexes, [VO（C2O4）（2,2′-bipy）（H2O）]·C2H5OH（1） and VO（C2O4）（phen）（H2O） （2）, where 2,2′-bipy=2,2′-bipyridyl, phen=1,10-phenanthroline, were synthesized as potential functional models of vanadium haloperoxidases（VHPOs） in mixed solvent of ethanol and water at room temperature. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared（IR）, UV-Vis and X-ray crystallography. Structural analyses showed that vanadium atom was coordinated by a terminal oxygen, one oxygen atom from coordinated water, two oxygen atoms from the carboxylate group of oxalic acid, and two nitrogen atoms（N1 and N2） from 2,2′-bipy/phen. Central vanadium atoms in complexes 1 and 2 were both in a distorted-octahedral environment, and some intermolecular hydrogen bonding linkages were also observed in each complex. Bromination reaction activity of the two complexes was evaluated with phenol red as organic substrate in the presence of H2O2, Br-and phosphate buffer, indicating that they can be considered as a potential functional model of VHPO. In addition, thermal analysis was also performed and discussed in detail.

Synthesis, spectral characterization and biological activities of Organotin(IV) complexes with <i>ortho</i>-vanillin-2-hydrazinopyridine (VHP)

Five new organotin(IV) complexes of ortho-vanillin-2-hydrazinopyridine hydrazone with formula [RnSnCl4–n(VHP)] [R = Me2, n = 2 (2);R = Ph2, n = 2 (3);R= nBu2, n = 2 (4);R = nBu, n = 2 (5) and R = 1, n = 0 (6)] have been synthesized by direct reaction of ortho-vanillin-2-hydrazinopyridine hydrazone [(VHP), (1)], base and organotin(IV) chloride(s) in absolute methanol. The hydrazone ligand [(VHP), (1)] and its organotin(IV) complexes (2-6) have been characterized by UV-Visible, FT-IR and 1H NMR spectral studies. Spectroscopic data suggested that in the complexes (2-4), the ligand (1) acted as a neutral bidentate ligand and is coordinated to the tin(IV) atom via the azomethine nitrogen and pyridyl nitrogen atoms, whereas the ligand (1) acted as a uninegative tridentate ligand and coordinated to the tin(IV) atom through phenolic-O, azomethine-N and pyridyl-N atoms in complexes (5-6). The toxicity of the ligand (1) and its organotin (IV) complexes (2-6) were determined against Artemia salina. Organotin(IV) complexes showed moderate activity against Artemia salina. The ligand (1) and its organotin(IV) complexes (2-6) were also tested against four types of bacteria namely Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter aerogenes. All organotin(IV) complexes and the free ligand (1) showed better antibacterial activities against bacteria. Among the organotin(IV) complexes (2-6), diphenyltin(IV) complex (3) showed higher activity against the four types of bacteria.

Synthesis, spectral, 3D molecular modeling and antibacterial studies of dibutyltin (IV) Schiff base complexes derived from substituted isatin and amino acids

New dibutyltin(IV) complexes of Schiff base derived from 5-chloroindoline-2,3-dione, indoline- 2,3-dione with amino acids (tryptophan, alanine and valine) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic spectra, conductance measurements, and biological activity. The analytical data showed that the Schiff base ligand acts as bidentate towards metal ions via the azomethine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen by a stoichiometric reaction of M:L (1:2) to form metal complexes. NMR (1H, 13C and 119Sn) spectral data of the ligands and metal complex agree with proposed structures. The conductivity values between 14 - 27 ohm-1cm2mol-1 in DMF imply the presence of non-electrolyte species. 3D molecular modeling and analysis of bond lengths and bond angles have also been conducted for a representative compound, [Bu2Sn(L2)2], to substantiate the proposed structures. Antibacterial results indicate that the metal complexes are more active than the free ligands.
