Three iron(III) complexes, [Fe-III(Him)(2)(n-MeOhapen)]PF6 (1: n = 4, 2: n = 5, 3: n = 6), where Him = imidazole and n-MeOhapen = N,N'-bis(n-methoxy-2-oxyacetophenylidene)ethylenediamine, were synthesized. Each Fe-III ion was coordinated by N4O2 donor atoms of equatorial n-MeOhapen and two axial Him. The saturated FeC2N2 chelate ring involving the ethylenediamine moiety adopted a gauche conformation and the two phenylidene planes of [Fe-III(Him)(2)(n-MeOhapen)](+) were oriented opposite to the FeO2N2 coordination plane. Two adjacent [Fe-III(Him)(2)(4-MeOhapen)](+) cations in 1 were connected via PF6 ions by hydrogen bonds between the imidazole group and PF6 to give a one-dimensional chain. Two adjacent cations in 2 were connected via hydrogen bonds between the phenylidene oxygen and imidazole atoms to form a cyclic dimer structure. Two EtOH molecules were involved in a hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimer structure in 3. Compounds 1 and 2 showed spin crossover behavior, but 3 showed incomplete spin crossover. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Herein, we report for the first time on the preparation of four Paeonol Schiff-base ligands: 1,2-Bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-alpha-methylbenzylideneimino) ethane (H(2)L(1)), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-alpha-methylbenzylidene (benzoyl) hydrazone (HL(2)), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone-ethanolamine Schiff-base (HL(3)), and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone(2'-hydroxybenzoyl) hydrazone (H(2)L(4)), and their Cu(II) complexes, of which the structure of C(11)N(2)O(6)H(14)Cu(CuL(3)center dot NO(3)) was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Antioxidant activities of four Cu(II) complexes were studied by the standard non-enzymatic NBT method and Fenton system, used to produce superoxide anion radicals and hydroxyl radicals, respectively. The results show these Cu(II) complexes have excellent antioxidant activities. DNA-binding and in vitro cytotoxicity experiments were utilized to further investigate the biological activities of C(11)N(2)O(6)H(14)Cu(CuL(3)center dot NO(3)). These results support C(11)N(2)O(6)H(14)Cu as a potential candidate for biological use because it shows not only high antioxidant and moderate DNA-binding activities, but also good tumor cell cytotoxicity activities in human cell lines carcinomas Hep-2 (larynx), for the range of concentrations tested.
