Chelate polymer compounds with bis(bidentate) ligand: synthesis, spectral, morphological and thermal degradation studies

Four divalent transition chelate polymer compounds (1–4) were synthesised by condensation of ibpmpc (isophthaoyl bis(paramethoxyphenylcarbamide)) with metal acetate in a dimethylformamide medium. The synthesised polymer compounds 1–4 were characterised by elemental analyses, FT-IR, diffuse reflectance, magnetic moment measurements and thermal studies. Each metal ion is coordinated through an oxygen atom of the carboxylate group and a nitrogen atom of the amide group of ligand and two aqua ligands by the coordinated bond which formed a six-member heterocyclic ring and significantly formed octahedral geometry for 1–3, whereas distorted octahedral geometry for 4. The thermal properties were studied by TG/DTG/DTA analyses. It was found that the thermal stabilities of polymer compounds follow the order: 4 > 3 > 1 > 2 Also, their physical properties including solubility, colour and melting point were studied, and the result showed insolubility in common organic solvents. Moreover, SEM and XRD studies were carri...

Evaluation of kinetic parameters from TG/DTG data of chelate polymer compounds of isophthaoyl bis (paramethoxyphenylcarbamide)

The four divalent transition metal chelate polymer compounds such as {[Mn (ibpmpc)(H2O)2] 2H2O}n, {[Co (ibpmpc)(H2O)2] 2H2O}n, {[Ni (ibpmpc)(H2O)2] 3H2O}n and {[Cu (ibpmpc)(H2O)2] 2H2O}n (ibpmpc = isophthaoyl bis (paramethoxyphenylcarbamide) were characterized by thermal properties. The thermal properties like decomposing temperature, thermal stability and presence of hydration water were studied by thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal gravimetry (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) and the decomposition steps of these four chelate polymer compounds were investigated. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters such as the pre-exponential Arrhenius factor (A), order of reaction (n), activation energy (Ea), activation entropy (ΔS#), activation enthalpy (ΔH#) and activation free energy (ΔG#) were calculated using Chen–Liu method. On the basis of thermal analysis technique and thermodynamic kinetic parameter studies, the thermal stability of chelate polymer compounds follows the order Cu (II) > ...

Synthesis, characterization and thermal properties of phthaloyl bis (paramethoxyphenylcarbamide) chelate polymers of divalent transition metals

Seven novel divalent transition metal chelate polymer complexes commonly known as coordination polymers or chelate polymers or coordination complexes such as [Mn (pbpmpc) (H2O)2]n (1), {[Co(pbpmpc) (H2O)2] 4H2O}n (2), {[Ni (pbpmpc) (H2O)2] 2H2O}n (3), {[Cu (pbpmpc) (H2O)2] 1H2O}n (4), {[Zn (pbpmpc)]}n (5), {[Cd (pbpmpc)]}n (6) and {[Hg (pbpmpc)] 1H2O}n (7) were synthesized under an aprotic solvent with phthaloyl bis (paramethoxyphenylcarbamide) (pbpmpc) as a polydentate ligand. The authenticities of these chelate polymers were characterized by elemental analyses: diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurements, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analyses and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. SEM and XRD investigations significantly revealed a distinct morphology behavior of ligand and chelate polymers. The infrared spectroscopy supports the interaction of nitrogen and oxygen atoms of a polydentate ligand with a metal ion, while diffuse reflectance study is a powerful technique that suggests an octahedral geometry for all the chelate polymers except zinc, cadmium and mercury ions, which were further supported by other instrumental techniques. The decomposition steps and thermal stabilities of these chelate polymers were studied by thermal analysis techniques. The thermal stabilities of chelate polymers were identified on the basis of release of coordinated water and decomposition of backbone structure (ligand).

Copper nanoparticles catalysed an efficient one-pot multicomponents synthesis of chromenes derivatives and its antibacterial activity

ABSTRACT In this study, copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) were synthesised by using diethylenetriamine as a protective agent in chemical reduction method. The obtained nanoparticles were characterised by various spectroscopic techniques like powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV–visible spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The structure and composition were estimated by PXRD, FTIR, EDS, UV–visible and TG/DTA techniques, while particles size and morphology behaviours were investigated by SEM and TEM instrumentation. A noteworthy, average particle size of nanoparticles was found around 40 nm with spherical shapes. Furthermore, the applications part of NPs were studied as a catalyst for one-pot solvent-free green synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrano[c]chromenes from different aromatic aldehydes, malonitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin by stirring at 80 °C. Moreover, the antibacterial properties of NPs were assessed in vitro against human bacterial pathogen such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp. and Pseudomonas aruginosa using agar well diffusion method. Gram positive bacteria S. aureus (18 mm) exhibited a maximum zone of inhibition at 60 µg/ml of Cu NPs. Nonetheless, antibacterial activities of Cu NPs (10–100 µg) were compared with four well-known antibiotics likes amikacin (30 mcg), ciprofloxacin (5 mcg), gentamicin (5 mcg) and norfloxacin (10 mcg). This study indicates that Cu NPs exhibited a strong antibacterial activity against all the test pathogens even at lower concentration.

An efficient and one-pot synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazole compounds catalyzed by copper nanoparticles

Copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) were found to be an extremely efficient and effective catalyst for synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazole via three-component reactions of benzil, aldehydes, and ammonium acetate at room temperature. The products obtained were followed by thin-layer chromatography. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (20 mL). The solid imidazole product was washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol to remove nanocopper to afford the pure imidazole compounds. The method provides several advantages such as simple operation, short reaction time, clean reaction profile, lower catalyst loading and high yield. The used catalyst in the reaction could be recovered conveniently and reused for several times. The high yields of reactions are attributed to the effect of Cu NPs due to high surface-to-volume ratio. Due to simple workup procedures, very short times and excellent product yields make this method an interesting alternative to other methodologies.

Oxovanadium (IV) complexes of 2-aryl/heteroaryl-3-hydroxy-4H-chromones: synthesis, spectral and thermal degradation studies

The clinically active functionalized flavonols (2-aryl/heteroaryl-3-hydroxy-4H-chromones) (4a-l) have been synthesized from Algar–Flynn–Oyamada transformation of chalcones (1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ones). Their oxovanadium metal complexes (5a-l) have been prepared and characterized by physical, spectral, thermal and analytical data. The functionalized flavonol acts as bidentate ligand and coordinates with vanadium metal atom through hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. The complexes have general formula [MOL2], where M = vanadium, O = oxygen and L = ligand. The chelation process reduces the polarity of metal ion by coordinating with ligands, which increase the lipophilic nature of the metals. This lipophilic nature of the metal enhanced its penetration through the lipoid layer of cell membrane of the micro-organism. This constitutes a new group of compounds that can be used as potential metal-derived drugs.
