Source of material 2,2'-(Methylene-bis(sulfanediyl))bis(pyridine 1-oxide) (mspo) and copper salts thereof were prepared, comprising the following steps: oxidizing a2-acetylaminopyridine with hydrogen peroxide in an inert solvent to give a2-acetamido-pyridine 1-oxide, cleaving the acetyl group with mineral acid to give a2-aminopyridine 1-oxide, diazotizing the 2-aminopyridine 1-oxide and treating the diazonium salt with hydrochloric acid to give a2-chloropridine 1-oxide, treating the 2-chloropridine 1-oxide with asulfhydryl-donor to give a2-mercaptopyridine 1-oxide, treating the latter with a CH 2 Br 2 to give a2,2'-(methylenebis(sulfanediyl))bis(pyridine 1-oxide). Asolution of CuBr 2 (223 mg, 1m mol) in water (5 mL) was dropped slowly into asolution of mspo (532 mg, 2mmol) in EtOH (20 mL) and the pH was adjusted to 7-8 with HClO 4 .The mixed solution was stirred for 2hat80°Cand was then cooled to room temperature to give brown-yellow microcrystals, which were collectedbyfiltration, washed successivelywithH 2 Oand EtOH,and driedinvacuo.Brown-yellowsquare crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by recrystallization of the precipitate from N,N-dimethylformamide and alcohol (1:1). Experimental detailsThe non-hydrogen atomsw ere refined anisotropically, and hydrogen atomswere added according to theoretical models. In the crystal structure, O5 and O5',O6and O6',Br1 and Br1' are disordered with occupancies of 0.86:0.14, 0.86:0.14, and 0.36:0.14, respectively. It is very difficult to locate the hydrogen atomsofcoordinated water molecules, so their information is not provided. DiscussionThe practical interest in heteroaromatic N-oxides is caused first of all by the fact that many of them show biological activity and extraction properties [1,2].Among N-oxides, there are substances possessing carcinogenic, cancerostatic, mutagenic, insecticidal, herbicidal,fungicidal, anticonvulsant,analgesic andplantgrowingp roperties. Both biological activity ande xtractional properties areconnected with complexation of N-oxide. We have been interested in the study of metal complexes of 2-mercaptopyridine 1-oxide (Hmpo) due to the fact that these complexes have been successfully used as bactericidaland antifungal agents [3][4][5]. The Cu(II) complex is adinuclear cage compound. Each Cu(II) coordination sphere is formed by four mspo ligands and one 96 Z. Kristallogr.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
