Decoration of Graphene Oxide with Cobalt(II) Coordinated Silica and its Catalytic Activity for the Synthesis of Functionalized Indenopyrazolones

We synthesized functionalized f-SiO2@GO@Co catalyst through decorating graphene oxide surface using SiO2 sphere with the help of ethylenediamine ligand and chelation with CoCl2.6H2O for increasing the catalyst activity to produce heterogenous catalyst. The heterogenous catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, Raman spectra, and TGA. We assessed activity of the catalyst in the synthesis of indenopyrazolones and results demonstrated high activity for the catalyst. The ability of the catalyst to increase the yield and reduction in reaction time as well as high catalytic activity, and recycling are prominent advantages of the catalyst.

Influence of the Substituted Ethylenediamine Ligand on the Structure and Properties of [Cu(diamine)2Zn(NCS)4]∙Solv. Compounds

In this paper, three new heterometallic compounds were described and compared with the molecular formula [Cu(pn)2Zn(NCS)4] (1), [Cu(N,N-Me2-en)2Zn(NCS)4] (2), [Cu(N-Me-en)2Zn(NCS)4]∙½H2O (3) where pn = 1,2−diaminopropane, N,N-Me2-en = N,N‒dimethylethylenediamine and N-Me-en = N-methylethylenediamine, respectively. The compounds mentioned above were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), electronic, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, and magnetic studies. Crystal structures for 1 and 2 were determined by X-ray analysis. Copper(II) in these complexes adopts 4 + 2 coordination with two elongated (in 2 very long and considered as semi-coordination) Cu-S bonds. The Cu-N and Cu-S bond lengths depend on substituent position affecting steric hindrance and hence a topology of the chain. Both chains form different zigzag patterns characterized by one or two Cu-Zn distance values. Weak magnetic interaction is observed, ferromagnetic in the case of 1 and antiferromagnetic in the case of 2, due to diversity of the above structural features.

Some Novel Manganese(III) Mixed Ligand Complexes and its Decolourization Studies

Some novel mixed ligand complexes of Mn(III) with glycine ligand namely [Mn(gly)2 Cl(en)], [Mn(gly)2 Br(en)], [Mn(gly)2 N3 (en)] and [Mn(gly)2 NCS(en)] have been synthesized starting from Mn(gly)2 Cl, Mn(gly)2 Br, Mn(gly)2N3 and Mn(gly)2 NCS respectively. These newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by UV/Vis, FT-IR and Mass spectrometry. The spectroscopic data suggest distorted octahedral geometry for all these mixed ligand complexes. The λmax values of these complexes for 5T2g → 5Eg transitions are 482 nm for [Mn(gly)2N3(en)], 488 for [Mn(gly)2NCS(en)], 486 for [Mn(gly)2 Br(en)] and 484 for [Mn(gly)2Cl(en)], all these transitions are red shifted in comparison to their parent complexes. The ligand field parameters such as 10 Dq, B and β have also been calculated and suggest covalent metal ligand bonding. One peculiar finding is that the FT-IR spectra shows frequencies for both free and coordinated NH2 group in all complexes indicating that the ethylenediamine ligand present here is non bridging in nature. The mass spectrometry results show molecular ion peaks at m/z 300, 345, 307 and 323 for [Mn(gly)2Cl(en)], [Mn(gly)2Br(en)], [Mn(gly)2N3(en)] and [Mn(gly)2NCS(en)] respectively. The coordination of ethylenediamine to Mn(III) enhances its efficiency towards decolourization methyl red dye.

cis-Bromido(n-butylamine-κN)bis(ethene-1,2-diamine-κ2 N,N′)cobalt(III) dibromide

In the title compound, [CoBr(C2H8N2)2(C4H11N)]Br2, the cobalt(III) ion has a distorted octahedral coordination environment and is surrounded by four N atoms in the equatorial plane made up of three N atoms from the two ethylenediamine ligands and the remaining N from the n-butyl substituent, with the other N atom from the ethylenediamine ligand and the Br atom occupying the axial positions. In the crystal, the complex cation and the two counter-anions are linked via N—H...Br and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component inversion twin.

Crystal structure of {2,2′-[ethylenebis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato-κ4O,N,N′,O′}oxidovanadium(IV) methanol monosolvate

Two independent molecules of the title solvated complex, [V(C16H14N2O2)O]·CH3OH, also known as [N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine]oxidovanadium(IV) or vanadyl salen, crystallize in the asymmetric unit. Each disordered methanol solvent molecule [occupancy ratios 0.678 (4):0.322 (4) and 0.750 (5):0.250 (5)] is linked to a [N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine]oxidovanadium(IV) molecule by an O—H...O hydrogen bond and to others by C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The resulting extended structure consists of a bilayer of molecules parallel to theabplane. Despite the fact that solvates are common in complexes derived from substituted analogues of theN,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine ligand, the title solvate is the first one of [N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine]oxidovanadium(IV) to be structurally characterized. The two vanadyl species have very similar internal geometries, which are best characterized as distorted square-based pyramidal with the vanadium atom displaced from the N2O2basal plane by 0.5966 (9) Å in the direction of the doubly-bonded oxide ligand.

Reaction of 2-Pyridylmethylthiourea Derivatives with [(en)2Co(OSO2CF3)2]+ Induces Hypodentate Coordination of an Ethylenediamine Ligand

Pyridylmethylthiourea derivatives coordinate with [(en)2Co(OSO2CF3)2]+ in a tridentate manner resulting in the formation of a hypodentate ethylenediamine ligand. Four ligands were studied: N-(R)phenyl-N′-2-pyridylmethylthiourea (R = H (1a), CH3 (1b), OCH3 (1c)) and N-benzyl-N′-2-pyridylmethylthiourea (2). These bind through the sulfur, a deprotonated exo nitrogen, and the pyridyl nitrogen atoms forming four and five-membered rings, respectively. The ligand also coordinates in a bidentate manner through the sulfur and deprotonated endo or exo nitrogen atoms, forming two additional coordination isomers. The solid state structure (X-ray) of one of the bidentate isomers of Co-1b2+ (endo isomer) shows that the coordinated thiourea sulfur induces a structural trans effect of 0.035 Å on the trans Co–N bond while that of the tridentate isomer of Co-1a3+ confirms the coordination mode of the ligand and the presence of a protonated hypodentate ethylenediamine ligand as suggested by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
