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 series of 5＇-phenyl-3＇H-spiro[indoline-3,2＇-[l,3,4]thiadiazol]-2-one analogs were synthesized and their Bcl-2 protein inhibitory activities were studied. The lead compound was originally identified using a fluorescence polarization-based competitive binding assay. Among the 10 compounds investigated, I k showed good binding affinities to Bcl-xL and Mcl-l, with inhibition constants of 8.9 μmol/L and 3.4 μmol/L, respectively. While compound lc achieved tight binding affinities to Bcl-xL （Ki= 0.16 μmol/L）, has the potential to be a new lead compound.

Extraction and Separation of Rare Earths from Nitrate Medium by Mixtures of p-Phosphorylated Calixarene and 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-pyrazalone-5

The gadolinium extraction by the mixtures of p-phosphorylated calixarene and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoylpyrazalone-5 from nitrate medium was studied,which indicated an obvious synergistic effect between these two extractants.The extractants exhibit no interaction with each other before the metal extraction.Gadolinium(Ⅲ)was extracted by the species of Ln(PMBP)_(2)L_(2)(NO_(3))instead of Ln(PMBP)_(3)•(HPMBP)or Ln(NO_(3))_(3)•2L which are extracted by HPMBP or L alone.Thermodynamic functions(ΔG,ΔH,ΔS)were calculated.The extraction of other rare earths was also investigated and compared.Possible single rare earth separation was discussed.

A Potential Corrosion Inhibitor for Acid Corrosion of Mild Steel

1-Phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one (HPMP) was evaluated as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in hydrochloric, nitric and perchloric acid solutions, using weight loss measurements at room temperature. HPMP was found to retard the corrosion rate of mild steel in hydrochloric and nitric acid solutions, while it aided the corrosion of same metal in perchloric acid solution. Corrosion rate decreased linearly with degree of surface coverage, and higher values of half-life were obtained for the coupons coated with HPMP inhibitor. The thicker the film of the HPMP coating on the metal, the more protection it gave to it, giving rise to the increase in inhibition efficiency.

Effect of an Organic Inhibitor on the Electrical Properties of High Carbon Steel in Simulated Acid Environment

The effect of 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl Pyrazol-5-one (HPMP) on the electrical properties of high carbon steel in Hydrochloric acid (HCI), Trioxonitrate (v) acid (HNO3) and Perchloric acid (HCIO4) was studied by weight loss method. The acidic medium caused a complete degradation of the electrical properties of the coated and uncoated high carbon steel. However, the attack was more on the uncoated coupons, which showed that HPHP is an effective corrosion inhibitor. HNO3 had the most severe effect on the metal. The coupons coated with HPMP generally had higher values of resistance (0.0155 Ω) and conductivity (6.20 mho/m) in HCI environment than the uncoated coupons (0.0043 Ω) and (1.72 mho/m). Similar results were obtained for HNO3 and HCIO4 environments. These values are lower than the values obtained for as-received coupons: -0.0466 and 8.64 mho/m respectively.
