The saturated ligand H2L1, derived by template condensation of 4-methyl-2,6-diformylphenol and 1,3-diaminopropane, followed by borohydride reduction, generates binuclear, antiferromagnetically coupled, copper(II) complexes which exhibit cyclic voltammetry involving two one-electron oxidation steps (E1/2 = 1.1 to 1.2 V, 1.3 to 1.4 V; Pt/CH3CN/SCE) and two one-electron reduction steps (E1/2 = −0.75 to −0.76 V, −0.89 to −0.90 V (GC/DMSO/SCE) with the formation of Cu(III)–Cu(III) and Cu(I)–Cu(I) and mixed oxidation state species. A trinuclear derivative, [Cu2(L1)(CuCl4)], appears to contain a spin-coupled binuclear species bound to a magnetically isolated tetrachlorocuprate(II) entity. The complex [Cu2(L1)(CH3OH)2](ClO4)2 forms brown crystals with a = 8.6516(7), b = 11.6832(9), c = 16.7205(6) Å, β = 92.596(5)°, P21/n, Z = 2, Rf = 0.037 and has a copper–copper separation of 3.088(1) Å and two weakly bound trans-axial methanol molecules (Cu—O, 2.413(4) Å). Variable temperature magnetic studies on [Cu2(L1)(ClO4)2] and [Cu2(L1)](ClO4)2 indicate strong antiferromagnetic exchange (−2J = 824 ± 5cm−1, 827 ± 7cm−1, respectively) in both cases.

Binuclear, antiferromagnetically coupled, macrocyclic copper(II) complexes, [Cu2(C28H32N4O4)]•H2O (II) and [Cu2(C36H32N4O4)]•CH3CN•H2O (III), involving asymmetric ligands with two deprotonated amide, two azomethine nitrogen, and two phenoxide donors at the binuclear centre, have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and variable temperature magnetic studies. Complex II crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with a = 16.4854(9) Å, b = 7.6005(13) Å, c = 21.1617(11) Å, β = 104.090(5)°, Z = 4, Rf = 0.068 for 2062 significant reflections. The two copper(II) centres have square planar N2O2 donor sets with two phenoxide oxygen atoms bridging the copper centres with a copper–copper separation of 2.898(2) Å. A long copper–oxygen (amide) contact (2.808(10) Å) forms a weak dimer association. Complex III crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group [Formula: see text], with a = 8.7771(9) Å, b = 12.3983(16) Å, c = 15.7299(16) Å, α = 85.003(11)°, β = 84.574(8)°, γ = 76.838(10)°, Z = 2, Rf = 0.041 for 2966 significant reflections. The two copper(II) centres have distorted square-pyramidal geometry involving an N2O2 in plane donor set and two phenoxide oxygen bridges with a copper–copper separation of 3.018(1) Å. The fifth coordination site at each copper centre involves an amide oxygen from a neighbouring molecule (Cu(1)—O 2.371(4), Cu(2)—O 2.413(3) Å) in a staggered intermolecular array. Very strong antiferromagnetic exchange is observed in both cases (−2J = 689 ± 7 cm−1 (II), −2J = 816 ± 8 cm−1 (III)). Keywords: macrocycles, binuclear copper(II) complexes.

Two cobalt porphyrins, (OEP) CoII and (TPP) CoII , where OEP and TPP are the dianions of octaethylporphyrin and tetraphenylporphyrin, respectively, were examined as electrocatalysts for the reductive dechlorination of DDT (1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethane) in N,N′-dimethylformamide (DMF) containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP). No reaction is observed between DDT and the porphyrin in its Co(II) oxidation state but this is not the case for the reduced Co(I) forms of the porphyrins which electrocatalyze the dechlorination of DDT, giving initially DDD (1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dichloroethane), DDE (1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2, 2-dichloroethylene) and DDMU (1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloroethylene) as determined by GC-MS analysis of the reaction products. A further dechlorination product, DDOH (2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol), is also formed on longer timescales when using (TPP)Co as the electroreduction catalyst. The effect of porphyrin structure and reaction time on the dechlorination products was examined by GC-MS, cyclic voltammetry, controlled potential electrolysis and UV-visible spectroelectrochemistry and a mechanism for the reductive dechlorination is proposed.

Antileishmanial Activities

Nitroaromatic compounds—adducts of Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBHA) reaction—have been applied in the treatment of malaria, leishmaniasis, and Chagas disease. The biological activity of these compounds is directly related to chemical reactivity in the environment, chemical structure of the compound, and reduction of the nitro group. Because of the last aspect, electrochemical methods are used to simulate the pharmacological activity of nitroaromatic compounds. In particular, previous studies have shown a correlation between the one-electron reduction potentials in aprotic medium (estimated by cyclic voltammetry) and antileishmanial activities (measured by the IC50) for a series of twelve MBHA. In the present work, two different computational protocols were calibrated to simulate the reduction potentials for this series of molecules with the aim of supporting the molecular modeling of new pharmacological compounds from the prediction of their reduction potentials. The results showed that it was possible to predict the experimental reduction potential for the calibration set with mean absolute errors of less than 25 mV (about 0.6 kcal·mol−1).

Bioactivity Profile

Starting from the structure of antimycobacterial screening hit OTB-021 which was devoid of activity against ESKAPE pathogens, we designed, synthesized and tested two mutually isomeric series of novel simplified analogs, 2- and 4-(3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pyrimidines, bearing various amino side chains. These compounds demonstrated a reverse bioactivity profile being inactive against M. tuberculosis while inhibiting the growth of all ESKAPE pathogens (with variable potency patterns) except for Gram-negative P. aeruginosa. Reduction potentials (E1/2, V) measured for selected compounds by cyclic voltammetry were tightly grouped in the −1.3–−1.1 V range for a reversible single-electron reduction. No apparent correlation between the E1/2 values and the ESKAPE minimum inhibitory concentrations was established, suggesting possible significance of other factors, besides the compounds’ reduction potential, which determine the observed antibacterial activity. Generally, more negative E1/2 values were displayed by 2-(3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pyrimidines, which is in line with the frequently observed activity loss on moving the 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl moiety from position 4 to position 2 of the pyrimidine nucleus.

Binucleating Ligands

New symmetrical binucleating ligands N,N-bis[2-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-(4-methyl-piperazinomethyl)benzyl]-alkylamines L1 and L2 and their copper(II) complexes [Cu2L(X)2]·2H2O, where X = CH3COO−, C6H5COO−, Cl−, and ClO4-, were prepared and characterised. All the complexes undergo quasi-reversible reduction at negative potential (E = −0.48 to −1.02 V). The acetate and benzoate complexes undergo a two-step single electron transfer at –0.48 to –0.60 V and −0.9 to −1.02 V. The chloro and perchlorate complexes undergo a single step two-electron transfer at −0.55 to −0.75 V. Variable temperature magnetic studies show the presence of weak exchange interaction for acetate (−2 J around 25 to 40 cm−1) and benzoate (−2 J around 45 to 55 cm−1) bridged complexes and no exchange interaction is found for chloro and perchlorate complexes. ESR spectra of chloro and perchlorate complexes are like mononuclear copper(II) complexes with hyperfine splitting (A = 165 ± 5, g∥ = 2.17–2.23, and g⊥ = 2.05–2.10). The ESR spectra of acetate and benzoate complexes are like binuclear copper(II) complexes with broad signal (g = 2.2).
