Two copper(II) azido complexes of the types mononuclear [Cu(TMEDA)2(N3)2] (1) and dinuclear [Cu(TMEDA)(μ1,1-N3)(N3)]2 (2) [TMEDA = trimethylenediamine; N3 – = azide ion] have been synthesized and characterized. X-ray structural analysis revealed that each copper(II) center in complex 1 adopts a distorted octahedron geometry with a CuN6 chromophore ligated through four N atoms of two different symmetrical TMEDA ligands as bidentate chelator and two N atoms of two terminal azides. In complex 2, each copper(II) center adopts a distorted square pyramidal geometry with a CuN5 chromophore ligated through two N atoms of TMEDA as bidentate chelator and two N atoms of two different azides as μ1,1-N3 bridging mode and one N atom of terminal azide ion. The two copper centers are connected through double μ1,1-N3 bridges affording a dinuclear structure with Cu···Cu separation 3.327(2) Å. In crystalline state, mononuclear units in complex 1 are associated through intermolecular N-H···N and C-H···N hydrogen bonds to form a 2D sheet structure viewed along crystallographic b-axis, whereas dinuclear entities in complex 2 are propagated through intermolecular N-H···N and C-H···N hydrogen bonds to form a 3D network structure viewed along crystallographic a-axis. The Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement evidenced a dominant antiferromagnetic interaction between the metal centers through μ1,1-azide bridges in complex 2 with J = − 0.40 cm-1. The antibacterial activities of the complexes have also been studied.

A new centrosymmetric trinuclear Zn(II) complex [Zn3L2(CH3COO)4] (1) has been synthesized by the reaction of Zn(CH3COO)2 · 2H2O with a tridentate N,N,O-donor Schiff base ligand HL [C5H4NC(CH3)=NC6H4(OH)] and systematically characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV/Vis and thermal methods. Single crystal X-ray structure analysis reveals that three Zn(II) centers are in two different coordination environments. Two terminal Zn(II) centers adopt a distorted squarepyramidal geometry leaving the central Zn(II) in a distorted octahedral environment. Two adjacent metal centers are connected through single μ2-phenolato as well as double μ-acetato-O,O´ syn-syn bridges. Fluorescence properties of the complex as compared to the ligand indicate that the former can serve as a potential photoactive material.

Tb2(bpdc)3 and Eu2(bpdc)3 nanoparticles (bpdc: 2,2ʹ-bipyridine-4,4ʹ-dicarboxylate) have been prepared via straightforward precipitation from aqueous solution. The nanoparticles exhibit mean diameters of 41(5) nm (Tb2(bpdc)3) and 56(4) nm (Eu2(bpdc)3) and show a very good colloidal stability in aqueous suspension. Particle size and chemical composition have been characterized based on electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. Photoluminescence validates an efficient excitation of Tb3+/Eu3+ via the bpdc ligand as an antenna that leads to intense characteristic green and red emissions. The absolute quantum yields of Tb2(bpdc)3 and Eu2(bpdc)3 have been determined at 28 and 12%, respectively. Although rare-earth metal-based photoluminescence is typically quenched in water due to vibronic loss processes (v(O-H)), here, the antenna effect and the shielding of the metal centers via the bpdc ligand are very efficient, allowing for an intense green and red emission of the Tb2(bpdc)3 and Eu2(bpdc)3 nanoparticles even in aqueous suspension.

Abstract The new 3d metal complexes of pyrimidine-2-carboxylic (2PCA) and pyrimidine-5-carboxylic (5PCA) acids were synthesized and characterized using thermal analysis (TG–DSC, TG–FTIR), X-ray, spectroscopic (IR, Raman) methods and theoretical (DFT) studies. In the complexes of pyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid of the general formula M(2PCA)2·xH2O (where 2PCA-pyrimidine-2-carboxylate; M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn; x = 0 for Mn and Cu; x = 2 for Co, Ni and Zn) coordination of metal ions occurs through nitrogen atom from pyrimidine ring and carboxylate oxygen atom. The complexes of pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid of the general formula M(5PCA)2·xH2O (where 5PCA—pyrimidine-5-carboxylate; M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn; x = 6 for Cu and 4 for remaining complexes) were obtained as monomeric isostructural compounds. Coordination of metal centers occurs through two nitrogen atom from different pyrimidine-5-carboxylate ligand and four oxygen atoms from water molecules. The IR and Raman spectra of free acids as well as obtained metal(II) complexes were described in detail. Aromaticity (HOMA, EN, GEO and I6) of complexes was determined and discussed. The investigated compounds decompose in air in two main stages connected with dehydration and decomposition/burning of anhydrous compounds to the suitable metal oxides. Thermal decomposition in nitrogen leads to the evolution of water, carbon oxides, ammonia and pyrimidine molecules.

A series of bimetallic dppfM(II) (dppf = 1,1’-bis (diphenyphosphino) ferrocene; M = Pt and Pd) dithiocarbamate complexes is synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their antitumor activities in vitro are investigated by MTT assays against four cancer cell lines. The anticancer studies indicate most of the complexes display good to excellent antitumor activity. Remarkably, the platinum complex with a pyrrolidinyl substituent (3b) was identified as the most promising candidate due to its high potency and broad spectrum of activity.

The linear and second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of two pyrene-pyridine chromophores, namely, 4-(pyren-1-yl)pyridine (L1) and 4-(2-(pyren-1-yl)ethyl)pyridine (L2), were investigated and modulated by performing protonation/deprotonation cycles or by complexation to d10 metal centers such as Zn(II) and Cu(I) to form the monomeric [Zn(CH3CO2)2(L1)2] complex and the [CuI(L2)]n coordination polymer, respectively. The structures of L1, L2, [Zn(CH3CO2)2(L1)2] and [CuI(L2)]n were determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The NLO response, measured by the electric-field-induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) technique, was positive for both chromophores and showed an inversion of the sign after exposure to HCl vapors. This process was completely reversible and the original values were restored by simple exposure to NH3 vapors. Coordination of L1 to Zn(II) also resulted in a negative NLO response, although smaller in magnitude compared to the protonated form, due to the weak Lewis acidity of the “Zn(CH3CO2)2” fragment. The results were also interpreted on the basis of DFT/TDDFT calculations.
