Four novel trinuclear copper(II)/nickel(II) complexes with four trianionic pentadentate ligands, N-(3-t-butylbenzoyl)-5-nitro-salicylhydrazide (H(3)3-t-bbznshz), N-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)salicylhydrazide (H(3)3,5-dmbzshz), N-(phenylacetyl)-5-bromosalicylhydrazide (H(3)pabshz) and N-(3-t-butylbenzoyl)salicylhydrazide (H(3)3-t-bbzshz) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. These trinuclear compounds all have an M-N-N-M-N-N-M core formed by three metal ions and two ligands. The geometries of three Cu(II) ions in compound Cu-3(3-t-bbznshz)(2)(H2O)(DMF)(py)(2) center dot DMF (1) alternate between distorted square pyramidal and square planar, while in compound Cu-3(3,5-dmbzshz)(2)(py)(2) (2), they are all square planar. Three Ni(II) ions in compound Ni-3(pabshz)(2)(DMF)(2)(py)(2) (3) and Ni-3(3-t-bbzshz)(2)(py)(4) center dot 2H(2)O (4) follow square-planar/octahedral/square-planar coordination geometry. Compounds 1, 2 and 4 are bent trinuclear, with the bend angles of 156.4 degrees, 141.49 degrees and 127.1 degrees, respectively, while the three nickel ions in compound 3 are strictly linear, with an angle of 180 degrees. Studies on the trinuclear Ni(II) complexes show that the beta-branched N-acylsalicylhydrazide ligands with sterically flexible C alpha methylene groups are easier to yield linear trinuclear Ni(II) complexes, while alpha-branched N-acylsalicylhydrazides ligands tend to form bent trinuclear Ni(II) complexes. Antibacterial screening data indicate that the trinuclear Cu(II) compound 2 is more active than 1 and mononuclear Cu(II) compound, bent trinuclear Ni(II) compound 4 is more active than linear compound 3 and less active than tetranuclear nickel compound in the previous study.
