The role of non-covalent interactions in the self-assembly of Schiff-base complexes of ZnII, CuII and NiII has been investigated experimentally and theoretically with especial attention to unconventional C–H⋯π interactions involving pseudohalide coligands.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were adopted in this work to investigate the ability of the B12N12 fullerene like nano-cage for sensing juglone (Jug) and one of its derivative (Jug-OH) using DFT based methods in gas phase, pentyl ethanoate (PE) and water. Results showed that B12N12 is able to adsorbed Jug preferentially by binding to one of the O-atom of its carbonyl groups. Based on NBO analysis, a charge transfer from the oxygen atoms of Jug and Jug-OH to the anti-bonding orbital of B was revealed. QTAIM analysis showed that the B12N12-Jug and B12N12-Jug-OH complexes are stabilized by a partially covalent B-O bond in addition to attractive non covalent interactions. The ability of Jug, Jug-OH as well as their complexes A and A-OH to scavenge radicals has been investigated via the usual hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism in the three media of study previously stated. Theoretical results revealed that in PE and water, the complexes are better antioxidant than Jug and Jug-OH. These results provide fundamental knowledge for the development of new antioxidant delivery careers.

Reaction of the o-[(o-hydroxyphenyl)methylideneamino]benzenesulfonic acid (H2L) (1) with CuCl2·2H2O in the presence of pyridine (py) leads to [Cu(L)(py)(EtOH)] (2) which, upon further reaction with 2,2’-bipyridine (bipy), pyrazine (pyr), or piperazine (pip), forms [Cu(L)(bipy)]·MeOH (3), [Cu2(L)2(μ-pyr)(MeOH)2] (4), or [Cu2(L)2(μ-pip)(MeOH)2] (5), respectively. The Schiff base (1) and the metal complexes (2–5) are stabilized by a number of non-covalent interactions to form interesting H-bonded multidimensional polymeric networks (except 3), such as zigzag 1D chain (in 1), linear 1D chain (in 2), hacksaw double chain 1D (in 4) and 2D motifs (in 5). These copper(II) complexes (2–5) catalyze the peroxidative oxidation of cyclic hydrocarbons (cyclooctane, cyclohexane, and cyclohexene) to the corresponding products (alcohol and ketone from alkane; alcohols, ketone, and epoxide from alkene), under mild conditions. For the oxidation of cyclooctane with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, used as a model reaction, the best yields were generally achieved for complex 3 in the absence of any promoter (20%) or in the presence of py or HNO3 (26% or 30%, respectively), whereas 2 displayed the highest catalytic activity in the presence of HNO3 (35%). While the catalytic reactions were significantly faster with py, the best product yields were achieved with the acidic additive.
