Binuclear copper(II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes with 2,6-diformyl-4- tert -butylphenol- bis -(1′-phthalazinylhydrazone). Synthesis, properties and quantum chemical study

Four binuclear transition metal complexes: [Cu2L(μ-OCH3)] · CH3OH, [Cu2H2L(μ-Cl)Cl2] · (CH3OH), [Cu2H2L(μ-Br)Br2] · (CH3OH), [(VO)2H2L(μ-Cl)]Cl2 · (CH3OH) were synthesized by reaction of the Robson-type binucleating ligand H3L (2,6-diformyl-4-tert-butylphenol-bis-(1′-phthalazinylhydrazone)) with Cu(II) acetate, CuCl2, CuBr2 and VOCl2, correspondingly. IR and ESR spectra, elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, magnetochemical study and DFT calculations were used to characterize the ligand and isolated complexes. The ligand is a NNONN donor and its degree of deprotonation varies with the metal salt used for reaction (triply deprotonated form L−3 is observed in reaction with copper(II) acetate, while monodeprotonated form H2L− is found in complexes obtained from metal halides). All complexes contain an endogenous phenoxide bridge and an exogenous methoxide, chloride or bromide bridge. Magnetic data reveal existence of antiferromagnetic interactions between the metal ions (experimental 2J values are −700, −73, −50 and −190 cm−1, correspondingly). Broken symmetry approach at the UB3LYP/6-31G(d) level was used to theoretically calculate spin-spin coupling between metal centers. Obtained values −570, −62, −53 and −214 cm−1 are rather close to experimental ones and reproduce their counterrelation. Spin density distribution in the singlet and triplet states of the complexes is discussed.

Synthesis, structure, and spectral luminescent properties of novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives containing benzthiazole group

Novel derivatives of 1,2,4-triazol with benzthiazole fragment have been prepared, including Cu(II) and Be complexes. Their structure and spectral luminescent properties have been investigated. With ohydroxyphenylbenzthiazolyl-1,2,4-triazole as an example, the density functional theory has been applied to find the stable conformers with different structures of coordination nodes, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl group hydrogen and either triazole of benzthiazole nitrogen.

1-Hydrazinophthalazine based hydrazones and their transition metal complexes: Structure and biological activity

Structure, tautomeric rearrangements, acid-base properties and complex formation ability of 1-hydrazinophthalazine hydrazones and their coordination compounds with transition metals are considered. The main factors influencing the structure and physicochemical properties of the complexes, biological activity of phthalazine hydrazones and their complexes are discussed.

Synthesis and luminescence properties of 2-(2-benzoyloxyphenyl)-5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles

Bidentate ligand systems based on 2-hydroxyphenyloxadiazole attract strong interest due to application of metal complexes derived therefrom in photoand electroluminescent devices as blue-emitting chromophores, as well as electron-transporting materials that improve charge transfer balance in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) [1, 2]. In addition, organic luminophores based on diphenyloxadiazoles exhibit an anomalously high Stokes shift (ASS), which favors increase in the light yield as a result of reduced self-absorption and minimizes liminophore photodegradation [3].

Transition metal complexes with 2-(N-tosylamino)benzaldehyde 1-phthalazinylhydrazone

Abstract2-(N-Tosylamino)benzaldehyde 1-phthalazinylhydrazone (H2L) and its complexes with Cu(II), Ni(II), and Mn(II) were obtained. The acid-basic properties of the hydrazone were studied using potentiometry and spectrophotometry. The experimental data were compared with the results of quantum-chemical DFT calculations. The structure of the binuclear complex [Cu2L2] was determined using X-ray diffraction. The broken symmetry approach was used to calculate the exchange coupling constant of the copper ions.

Reactions of hydroxyphenyl-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles with electrophylic reagents

Reactions of hydroxyphenyl substituted 1,2,4-triazoles with various electrophylic reagents were studied. Despite of the presence of several nucleophilic centers in the molecule, the reactions were shown to proceed regioselectively, with the formation of N-substituted 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazoles. As a result of the reactions of alkylation, tosylation, sulfoamination and aminomethylation by Mannich reaction earlier unknown potential biologically active N-derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole were obtained.

1'-Phthalazine Hydrazone of Diacetyl Monooxime and Its Complexes with Transition Metals: Physicochemical and Theoretical Study

Abstract1′-Phthalazine hydrazone of diacetyl monooxime and its Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes were synthesized. The acid-base properties of the hydrazone were potentiometrically and spectrophotometrically studied, and quantum-chemical calculations of the ionization constants and the energies of possible tautomeric forms and conformations were performed. Complexes of copper(II) prepared by the reaction of the hydrazone with copper(II) acetate, chloride, and bromide were shown to have the dimeric structure with the bidentatebridging N-O-groups of the oxime fragment, whereas the copper(II) complex prepared from copper(II) nitrate, forms the dimer via the endocyclic nitrogen atoms of the phthalazine fragment.

Effect of the nature of non-bridging donor atoms on the structure and magnetic properties of binuclear copper(II) complexes with heterocyclic azomethyne ligands

Pyrazolate bridging binuclear copper(II) complex with a heterocyclic azomethyne ligand (a condensation product of 1,3-diaminopropanol-2 with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-formyl-5-mercaptopyrazole) is synthesized and structurally characterized. The structure of the complex is compared with the structure of its pyrazolone analogue. It is shown that for the 2J calculation the use of the previously optimized geometry rather than the geometry from the XRD data results in better agreement with the magnetochemical experiment.

Influence of the bridging coordination of DMSO on the exchange interaction character in the binuclear copper(II) complex with the nonsymmetrical exchange fragment

The binuclear copper(II) complex [Cu2L(CH3COO)] (I), where L3− is the azomethine trianion based on 3-methyl-4-formyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one and 1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol, and its DMSO adduct (II) in which the DMSO molecule acts as an additional bridging ligand are synthesized. The structure of complex II is determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, and the structure parameters of the coordination unit of complex I are determined by EXAFS spectroscopy. The μ2-coordination of the DMSO molecule in compound II results in a change in the sign of the exchange interaction parameter. In complex I, the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction (2J = −169 cm−1) occurs between the copper(II) ions. The exchange interaction of the ferromagnetic type (2J = 174 cm−1) is observed in complex II. The quantum-chemical calculations of the magnetic exchange parameters by the density functional theory method show that the role of the DMSO molecule as a switch of the exchange interaction character is exclusively the stabilization of the “broken” conformation of the metallocycles.
