Synthesis, spectral properties, crystal structures and antimicrobial effects of copper(II) pyridinecarboxylate adducts with chelating ligands
摘要:
The reaction of an ethanolic solution of copper(II) pyridinecarboxylates CuX2. nH(2)O (where X is nicotinate (nic) (n = 0) or isonicotinate (isonic) (n = 4)) with ethylenediamine ten) in a molar ratio of 1:2 lead to the isolation of solid tetragonally distorted octahedral complexes of the type [Cu(en)(2)(H2O)(2)]X-2. nH(2)O (n = 1 for nic: n = 0 for isonic). The analogous reaction of CuX2.n H2O with diethylenetriamine (dien) in a molar ratio of 1:1 leads to the formation of square-pyramidal pentacoordinated complexes of the type [CuX(dien)(H2O)]X. On the other hand, the reaction of equimolar quantities of copper(II) nitrate and dien with nicotinate anions (equimolar quantities of pyridinecarboxylic acid and NaOH) in ethanolic solutions gives a solid monomeric complex [Cu(nic)(NO3)dien)(H2O)].H2O in which the coordination polyhedron around the Cu(II) atom is a (4 + 1 + 1) distorted tetragonal bipyramid. Based on the molecular structure the electronic and IR spectra are discussed. Moreover, the results of the quantitative determination of antimicrobial activity of the isonic complexes [Cu(isonic)(2)(H2O)(4)]. [Cu(en)(2)(H2O)(2)](isonic)(2), [Cu(isonic)(dien)(H2O)](isonic), as well as isonicotinic acid, ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine alone are discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
