Pentagonal-bipyramidal Fe(III) complexes with dihydrazone of 2,6-diacetylpyridine and Girard's T reagent have been synthesized and characterized. Cytotoxic activity of Fe(III) complexes and Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with the same ligand was tested. The best activity was observed in the case of Fe(III), Co(II) and Cd(II) complexes.
Two Zn(II) complexes with the condensation product of 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde and trimethylammonium acetohydrazide chloride (Girard's T reagent) (HLCl) and monodentate pseudohalides (azide and cyanate) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In both complexes, the coordination surroundings of the Zn(II) ions consist of a deprotonated hydrazone ligand coordinated through an NNO set of donor atoms and two monodentate pseudohalides (N 3or NCO -) at the remaining coordination sites. The Zn(II) complexes showed low to moderate activity against laboratory control strains of pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
The molecular and crystal structure of a newly synthesized Co(II) complex with 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(phenylhydrazone) (L), of the formula [CoL2]I2 are described. The reaction of warm EtOH solutions of the ligand, 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(phenylhydrazone) and CoI2 in molar ratio 1:1 resulted in formation of black single crystals of the title complex. This is the first and so far, the only metal complex with this ligand that is characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Co(II) is situated in a distorted mer-octahedral surrounding of two tridentate N3 coordinated ligand molecules. Complex crystallizes in monoclinic crystal system in C2/c space group. Besides X-ray analysis, conductometric, spectroscopic and magnetic properties of the complex are investigated.
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.
