Cobalt(II) complexes with 2-aminoacetophenone N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones

Cobalt(II) complexes with 2-aminoacetophenone thiosemicarbazone and three N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones have been prepared in EtOH solution and characterized by physical and spectral methods. I.r. and electronic spectra of the thiosemicarbazones and their complexes, along with physical properties of the complexes, have been obtained. The 2-aminoacetophenone thiosemicarbazones coordinate both as neutral and anionic ligands via the thiosemicarbazone moietys imine nitrogen and thione/thiolato sulfur [on loss of the N(2) hydrogen].

Copper(II) complexes of 2-aminoacetophenone N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones

Mononuclear copper(II) complexes with 2-aminoacetophenone thiosemicarbazone and three N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones have been prepared in ethanolic solution and characterized by physical and spectral methods. I.r., electronic and e.s.r. spectra of the complexes, as well as i.r., electronic, and 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectra of the thiosemicarbazones, have been obtained. The 2-aminoacetophenone thiosemicarbazones coordinate as neutral ligands via the thiosemicarbazone moietys azomethine nitrogen and thione sulfur, except for the piperidylthiosemicarbazone, which undergoes deprotonation and coordinates via the thiolato sulfur, as well as through the azomethine nitrogen. Complexes formed in the presence of triethylamine also form complexes with the anionic form of these thiosemicarbazones.

Complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with the keto form of some antipyrine schiff base derivatives

Abstract Manganese, cobalt and nickel complexes of some Schiff base derivatives of antipyrine have been prepared and characterized. Spectroscopic and other studies on these air-stable complexes indicated that the Schiff bases are coordinated through the carbonyl oxygen of the pyrazolone ring, the quinonoid oxygen and the secondary nitrogen. The stereochemistry of the complexes as well as the nature of the bonding of the chloride were discussed.

Iron(III), Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), Copper(II) and Zinc(II) Complexes of 4-Formylantipyrine Thiosemicarbazone

Abstract Complexes of iron(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) with 4-formylantipyrine thiosemicarbazone (HFoAtsc) have been prepared and spectrally and physically characterized. IR, electronic, and ESR spectra of the complexes, as well as IR, electronic and 1H and 13C NMR spectra of HFoAtsc, have been obtained. The spectral studies show that HFoAtsc behaves as neutral or monobasic bidentate ligand in all complexes except [Fe(FoAtsc)2]ClO4 and [Co(HFoAtsc)2](BF4)2, where the thiosemicarbazone bonds in a monobasic tridentate fashion in the former and a neutral tridentate manner in the latter. Coordination takes place via the azomethine nitrogen and the thione or thiolato sulfur for bidentate coordination and the carbonyl oxygen of the pyrazolone ring is added for tridentate coordination.

Synthesis and characterization of a hydrazone ligand containing antipyrine and its transition metal complexes

The coordination chemistry of N′-((1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide with copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II), manganese(II), zinc(II), palladium(II), iron(III), ruthenium(III), uranyl(VI), and titanium(IV) has been studied. The ligand and its complexes was characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, magnetic moments and conductivity measurements as well as spectroscopic techniques such as infrared, mass spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron spin resonance and electronic absorption spectra. The spectral data showed that the ligand is monobasic tridentate coordinated via the enolic carbonyl oxygen of the hydrazide moiety, azomethine nitrogen and pyrazolone oxygen atoms.

MANGANESE(II), IRON(III), COBALT(II), NICKEL(II), COPPER(II), ZINC(II), and URANYL(VI) COMPLEXES of N-(4-FORMYLANTIPYRINE)BENZOTHIAZOL-2-YLACETOHYDRAZIDE

ABSTRACT Complexes of Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and UO2(VI) with N-(2-furylidene)benzothiazole-2-ylacetohydrazide (HL) have been prepared in ethanolic solution and characterized by physical and spectral methods. IR, electronic, TGA and ESR spectra of the complexes, as well as IR, 1H NMR spectra of the ligand have been obtained. IR spectra show that the ligand coordinates either as neutral bidentate via the azomethine nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen or as a monobasic tridentate ligand via the enolic oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and furane ring oxygen. Stereochemistries are proposed for the complexes on the basis of spectral and magnetic studies.

Spectral and structural studies of cobalt(II,III), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes of dehydroacetic acid N4-dialkyl- and 3-azacyclothiosemicarbazones

CoII,III, NiII, and CuII complexes of new dehydroacetic acid N4-substituted thiosemicarbazones have been studied. The substituted thiosemicarbazones, N4-dimethyl-(DA4DM), N4-diethyl-(DA4DE), 3-piperidyl-(DApip) and 3-hexamethyleneiminyl-(DAhexim), when reacted with the metal chlorides, produced two CoII complexes, [Co(DA4DE)Cl2] and [Co(DAhexim)2Cl2]; two CoIII complexes, [Co(DA4DM-H)2Cl] and [Co(DApip-H)(DApip-2H)]; a paramagnetic NiII complex, [Ni(DAhexim)(DAhexim-H)Cl]; three diamagnetic NiII complexes, [Ni(DA4DM-H)Cl], [Ni(DA4DE-H)Cl] and [Ni(DApip-H)Cl]; and four CuII complexes with the analogous stoichiometry of the latter three NiII complexes. These new thiosemicarbazones have been characterized by their melting points, as well as i.r., electronic and 1H-n.m.r. spectra. The metal complexes have been characterized by i.r. and electronic spectra, and when possible, n.m.r. and e.s.r. spectra, as well as elemental analyses, molar conductivities, and magnetic susceptibilities. The crystal and molecular structure of the four-coordinate CuII complex, [Cu(DAhexim-H)Cl] has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the anionic ligand coordinates via an oxygen of the dehydroacetic acid and the thiosemicarbazone moietys imine nitrogen and thione sulfur.

Synthesis and characterization of some bi, tri and tetravalent transition metal complexes of N′-(furan-2-yl-methylene)-2-(p-tolylamino)acetohydrazide HL1 and N′-(thiophen-2-yl-methylene)-2-(p-tolylamino)acetohydrazide HL2

The tetradentate Schiff bases hydrazone ligands HL(1), HL(2) and their metal complexes have been prepared and characterized by analytical, spectral (IR, UV-vis, (1)H NMR and ESR), molar conductivity, magnetic and TGA measurements. The results show that all the metal complexes are non-electrolytes, except (2, 10 and 20) which have ionic nature. The ligands coordinate in keto-neutral form and act as bidentate or tridentate for all metal complexes, except complexes (4 and 12). The ligands react as monobasic tetradentate and tridentate for complexes (4 and 12), respectively. Octahedral/tetrahedral Co(II) and Ni(II), octahedral/square planar Cu(II), and octahedral Mn(II), Fe(III), Cr(III), Ru(III), Hf(IV) and Zr(IV)O geometries were proposed. The ESR spectra of copper complexes (12 and 14) indicate d(x2-y2) ground state with covalent bond character. The thermal decomposition and the types of crystallized water for some metal complexes were studied. The studied metal complexes are very weakly active against the tested microorganisms.

Cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and hafnium(IV) complexes of N′-(furan-3-ylmethylene)-2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)acetohydrazide

Cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and hafnium(IV) complexes of furan-2-carbaldehyde 4-methoxy-N-anilinoacetohydrazone were synthesized and characterized by elemental and thermal (TG and DTA) analyses, IR, UV-vis and (1)H NMR spectra as well as magnetic moment and molar conductivity. Mononuclear complexes are obtained with 1:1 molar ratio except complexes 3 and 9 which are obtained with 1:2 molar ratios. The IR spectra of ligand and metal complexes reveal various modes of chelation. The ligand behaves as a neutral bidentate one and coordination occurs via the carbonyl oxygen atom and azomethine nitrogen atom. The ligand behaves also as a monobasic tridentate one and coordination occurs through the enolic oxygen atom, azomethine nitrogen atom and the oxygen atom of furan ring. Moreover, the ligand behaves as a neutral tridentate and coordination occurs via the carbonyl oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and furan oxygen atoms as well as a monobasic bidentate and coordination occurs via the enolic oxygen atom and azomethine nitrogen atom. The electronic spectra and magnetic moment measurements reveal that all complexes possess octahedral geometry except the copper complex 10 possesses a square planar geometry. The thermal studies showed the type of water molecules involved in metal complexes as well as the thermal decomposition of some metal complexes.

Synthesis, magnetic and spectral studies of iron(III), cobalt(II,III), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of 2–formylpyridine N(4)-antipyrinylthiosemicarbazone

Abstract2–Formylpyridine N(4)-antipyrinylthiosemicarbazone and its metal complexes have been synthesized and characterized. Elemental analyses, molar conductivities, magnetic measurements and spectral (i.e., i.r., electronic, n.m.r. and e.s.r.) studies have been used to characterize the complexes. The i.r. spectra show that the thiosemicarbazones behave as bidentate or tridentate ligands either in the thione or thiolato form. Ligand field parameters have been calculated and the proposed stereochemistries are based on the various physical and spectral methods.
