Synthesis, spectral studies, crystal structures and TDDFT studies of the rhenium(I) complexes of 2,4-dihydroxy-N′-(4-hydroxybenzilidene) benzohydrazide
摘要:
The rhenium(I) carbonyl bromide complex, [ReBr(CO)(3)(HL)], of the ligand derived from 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid hydrazide (HL), has been prepared. HL and its complex have been characterized by elemental analysis, MS, IR, UV-Vis and (1)H NMR spectroscopic methods. The structure of HL and the aqua-complex [Re(OH(2))(CO)(3)(L)] where the ligands are monodeprotonated have been elucidated by X-ray diffraction. The structure of [ReBr(CO)(3)(HL)] has been calculated from conformational parameters found in the aqua-complex. DFT and TDDFT calculations have been performed to obtain the IR spectra and UV-Vis absorption and emission spectra. The calculated spectra agree with the experimental results. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

A library of acylhydrazone iron chelators was synthesized and tested for its ability to inhibit the growth of a chloroquine-resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Some of these new compounds are significantly more active than desferrioxamine DFO, the iron chelator in widespread clinical use and also than the most effective chelators. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
