Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure, and antimicrobial studies of novel thiourea derivative ligands and their platinum complexes

Abstract N,N-Di-R-N′-(4-chlorobenzoyl)thiourea (Di-R: diethyl, di-n-propyl, di-n-butyl and diphenyl) ligands (HL1–4) and their Pt(II) complexes (cis-[Pt(L1–4-S,O)2]) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. HL2 ligand and cis-[Pt(L4-S,O)2] metal complex have been also characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. HL2, C14H19ClN2OS, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n (no. 14), with Z = 4, and unit cell parameters, a = 11.1405(16) Å, b = 9.7015(12) Å, c = 14.790(2) Å, β = 106.547(7)°. The cis-[Pt(L4-S,O)2], C40H28Cl2N4O2PtS2: triclinic, space group P-1 (no. 2), a = 8.9919(3) Å, b = 14.7159(6) Å, c = 15.7954(6) Å, α = 113.9317(18)°, β = 97.4490(18)°, and γ = 105.0492(16)°. Single crystal analysis of complex, cis-[Pt(L1–4-S,O)2], revealed that a square planar coordination geometry is formed around the platinum atom by two sulfur and two oxygen atoms of the related ligands, which are in a cis configuration. In addition, the thiourea derivative ligands and their complexes were evaluated for both their in-vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity. The results have been reported, explained, and compared with fluconazole and ampicillin, used as reference drugs.

Designing of New Thermo Stabile Phthalocyanines: Synthesis, Characterization, and Thermal Studies

In this study, new phthalonitrile and phthalocyanines were synthesized and characterized. Starting material compound 3 was obtained by reaction of ninhydrin with 4-nitrophthalonitrile. Phthalocyanines 4–8 were prepared by reaction 4-(2-phenoxy-1, 3-dioxo-2, 3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yloxy) phthalonitrile with corresponding metal salts. Compound 9 was obtained by reaction of phthaocyanine 4 with NaOH. This compound is soluble in water as sodium salts. Thermal properties of compounds 3–8 were investigated by TG and DTA. Thermal stabilities of compounds 4–8 are also reported. The novel compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H-NMR, and UV-VIS spectral data.
