Allyl rhodanine azo dye derivatives: Potential antimicrobials target d-alanyl carrier protein ligase and nucleoside diphosphate kinase

3-Allyl-5-(4-arylazo)-2-thioxothiazolidine-4-one (HL_n ) ligands (where n = 1 to 3) were hypothesized to have antimicrobial activities mediated through inhibition of new antimicrobial targets. The ligands (HL_n ) were synthesized and characterized by infrared (IR) and ¹ H nuclear magnetic resonance (¹ H NMR) spectra. The ligands (HL_n ) were in silico screened to their potential inhibition to models of d-alanyl carrier protein ligase (DltA) (from Bacillus cereus, PDB code 3FCE) and nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) (from Staphylococcus aureus; PDB code 3Q8U). HL₃ ligand has the best energy and mode of binding to both NDK and DltA, even though its binding to DltA was stronger than that to NDK. In antimicrobial activity of HL₃ ligand, morphological and cytological changes in HL₃ -treated bacteria agreed with the in silico results. The HL₃ ligand showed significant antimicrobial activity against B. cereus, S. aureus, and Fusarium oxysporium. The HL₃ -treated bacterial cells appeared malformed and incompletely separated. Its cell walls appeared electron-lucent and ruptured. They contained more mesosomes than normal cells. It was found that the HL₃ ligand represented as a bactericide against B. cereus and S. aureusby blocking target DltA, and may target NDK.

Synthesis and spectroscopical study of rhodanine derivative using DFT approaches

The optimized molecular structure, vibrational frequencies, corresponding vibrational assignments of (E)-5-benzylidene-2-thioxothiazolidine-4-one (E5BTTO) have been investigated experimentally and theoretically based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) approach. The FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra of E5BTTO were recorded in solid phase. Theoretical calculations were performed at the DFT level using the Gaussian 03 program. The experimental bands were assigned and characterized on the basis of the scaled theoretical wavenumber by their Total Energy Distribution (TED). The results of the calculation were applied to simulate infrared and raman spectra of the title compound which showed good agreement with the observed spectra. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occur within the molecule. Stability arising from hyperconjugative interactions leading to its NLO activity and charge delocalization were analyzed using Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis.

Correlation between ionic radii of metals and thermal decomposition of supramolecular structure of azodye complexes

An interesting azodye heterocyclic ligand of copper(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and uranyl(II) complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of metal salts with 5-(2,3-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one azo)-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HL) yields 1:1 and 1:2 (M:L) complexes depending on the reaction conditions. The elemental analysis, magnetic moments, spectral (UV-Vis, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR and ESR) and thermal studies were used to characterize the isolated complexes. The molecular structures of the ligand tautomers are optimized theoretically and the quantum chemical parameters are calculated. The IR spectra showed that the ligand (HL) act as monobasic tridentate/neutral bidentate through the (-N=N), enolic (C-O)(-) and/or oxygen keto moiety groups forming a five/six-membered structures. According to intramolecular hydrogen bond leads to increasing of the complexes stability. The molar conductivities show that all the complexes are non-electrolytes. The ESR spectra indicate that the free electron is in dxy orbital. The calculated bonding parameter indicates that in-plane σ-bonding is more covalent than in-plane π-bonding. The coordination geometry is five/six-coordinated trigonal bipyramidal for complex (1) and octahedral for complexes (2-6). The value of covalency factor β1(2) and orbital reduction factor K accounts for the covalent nature of the complexes. The activation thermodynamic parameters are calculated using Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods. The synthesized ligand (HL) and its Cu(II) complexes (1, 2 and 4) are screened for their biological activity against bacterial and fungal species. The ligand (HL) showed antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli. The ligand (HL) and its Cu(II) complexes (2 and 4) have very high antifungal activity against Penicillium italicum. The inhibitive action of ligand (HL), against the corrosion of C-steel in 2M HCl solution has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

Supramolecular spectral studies on metal-ligand bonding of novel quinoline azodyes

A series of novel bidentate azodye quinoline ligands were synthesized with various p-aromatic amines like p-(OCH3, CH3, H, Cl and NO2). All ligands and their complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR data and spectroscopic studies. IR and (1)H NMR studies reveal that the ligands (HLn) exists in the tautomeric azo/hydrazo form in both states with intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The ligands obtained contain NN and phenolic functional groups in different positions with respect to the quinoline group. IR spectra show that the azo compounds (HLn) act as monobasic bidentate ligand by coordinating via the azodye (NN) and oxygen atom of the phenolic group. The ESR (g|| and g ) and bonding α(2) parameters of the copper ion were greatly affected by substituting several groups position of ring of quinoline and p-aromatic ring. The ESR spectra of copper complexes in powder form show a broad signal with values in order g|| >g > ge > 2.0023. The value of covalency factor β and orbital reduction factor K accounts for the covalent nature of the complexes. All complexes possessed an octahedral and square planar geometry. The thermal properties of the complexes were investigated using TGA and DSC. It is found that the change of substituent affects the thermal properties of complexes.

Supramolecular structure and spectral studies on mixed-ligand complexes derived from β-diketone with azodye rhodanine derivatives

A novel method to synthesize some mononuclear ternary palladium(II) complexes of the general formula [Pd(L(n))L] (where LH=diketone=acetylacetone, HL(n)=azorhodanine) has been synthesize. The structure of the new mononuclear ternary palladium(II) complexes was characterized using elemental analysis, spectral (electronic, infrared and (1)H &(13)C NMR) studies, magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermal studies. The IR showed that the ligands (HL(n) & LH) act as monobasic bidentate through the azodye nitrogen, oxygen keto moiety and two enolato oxygen atoms. The molar conductivities show that all the complexes are non-electrolytes. Bidentate chelating nature of β-diketone and azorhodanine anions in the complexes was characterized by (electronic, infrared and (1)H &(13)C NMR) spectra. Square planar geometry around palladium has been assigned in all complexes. Various ligand and nephelouxetic parameter have been calculated for the complexes. The thermal decomposition for complexes was studied.

Supramolecular structure, mixed ligands and substituents effect on the spectral studies of oxovanadium(IV) complexes of bioinorganic and medicinal relevance

An interesting series of heterocyclic mixed ligand of oxovanadium(IV) complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of vanadium(IV) sulfate with rhodanine azo (HL(n)) in the presence of β-diketon (LH). The elemental analysis, magnetic moments, spectral (UV-Vis, IR, (1)HNMR and ESR) with thermal studies were used to characterize the isolated complexes. The IR showed that the ligands (HL(n) and LH) act as a monobasic bidentate through the (NN), oxygen keto moiety and oxygen atom of the two enolate groups thereby forming a six-membered. The molar conductivities show that all the complexes are non-electrolytes. The ESR spectra indicate that the free electron is in d(xy) orbital. The calculated bonding parameter indicates that in-plane σ-bonding is more covalent than in-plane π-bonding. The coordination geometry around oxovanadium(IV) in all complexes is a hex-coordinated trans octahedral, with one bidentate ligand (L(n)), and one bidentate ligand (L). Electronic and magnetic data proposed the octahedral structure for all complexes under investigation. ESR spectra of VO(2+) reveal data that confirmed the proposed structure. The value of covalency factor (β(1)(∗))(2) and orbital reduction factor K accounts for the covalent nature of the complexes. All electronic transitions were assigned. The Hammett's constant is also discussed.

Polymer complexes. LVI. Supramolecular architectures consolidated by hydrogen bonding and π-π interaction

The amidation of aliphatic amine with acryloyl chloride in dry benzene as a solvent has been performed. Moreover, the polymer complexes have been prepared and structurally characterized by analyses, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, spectral techniques like IR, UV, NMR, ESR and thermal methods. Acryloyl hydrazine (AH) has been shown to behave as a bidentate ligand via its nitrogen (NH(2) of hydrazine group) and C-O/C=O (acryloyl group) in polymer complexes, all of which exhibit supramolecular architectures assembled through weak interaction including hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking .The magnetic and spectral data indicate a square planar geometry for Cu(2+) complexes and an octahedral geometry for Co(II) and UO(2)(II). The ESR spectral data of the Cu(II) complexes showed that the metal-ligand bonds have considerable covalent character. The thermal stability was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that the polymer complexes are more stable than the homopolymer.

Structural and characterization of novel copper(II) azodye complexes

The synthetic methods of novel Cu(II) and adduct complexes, with selective azodyes containing nitrogen and oxygen donor ligands have been developed, characterized and presented. The prepared complexes fall into the stoichiometric formulae of [Cu(L(n))(2)](A) and [Cu(L(n))(2)(Py)(2)](B), where two types of complexes were expected and described. In type [(A) (1:2)] the chelate rings are six-membered/four coordinate, whereas in type [(B) (1:2:2)] they are six-membered/six coordinate. The important bands in the IR spectra and main (1)H NMR signals are tentatively assigned and discussed in relation to the predicted assembly of the molecular structure. The IR data of the azodye ligands suggested the existing of a bidentate binding involving azodye nitrogen and C-O oxygen atom of enolic group. They also showed the presence of Py coordinating with the metal ion. The coordination geometries and electronic structures are determined from the framework of the proposed modeling of the formed novel complexes. The complexes (1-5) exist in trans-isomeric [N,O] solid form, while adduct complexes (6-10) exist in trans isomeric (Py) form. The square planar/octahedral coordination geometry of Cu(II)/adduct is made up of an N-atom of azodye, the deprotonated enolic O-atom and two Py. The azo group was involved in chelation for all the prepared complexes. ESR spectra show the simultaneous presence of a planar trans and a nearly planar cis isomers in the 1:2 ratio for all N,O complexes [Cu(L(n))(2)]. The ligands in the dimmer are stacked over one another. In the solid state of azo-rhodanine, the dimmers have inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Interactions between the ligands and Cu(II) are also discussed.

D.C. electrical conductivity and conduction mechanism of some azo sulfonyl quinoline ligands and uranyl complexes

Supramolecular coordination of dioxouranium(VI) heterochelates 5-sulphono-7-(4'-X phenylazo)-8-hydroxyquinoline HL(n) (n=1, X=CH(3); n=2, X=H; n=3, X=Cl; n=4, X=NO(2)) have been prepared and characterized with various physico-chemical techniques. The infrared spectral studies showed a monobasic bidentate behavior with the oxygen and azonitrogen donor system. The temperature dependence of the D.C. electrical conductivity of HL(n) ligands and their uranyl complexes has been studied in the temperature range 305-415 K. The thermal activation energies E(a) for HL(n) compounds were found to be in the range 0.44-0.9 eV depending on the nature of the substituent X. The complexation process decreased E(a) values to the range 0.043-045 eV. The electrical conduction mechanism has been investigated for all samples under investigation. It was found to obey the variable range hopping mechanism (VRH).

Polymer complexes. LVIII. Structures of supramolecular assemblies of vanadium with chelating groups

Oxovanadium(IV) polymer complexes of formulation {[(VO)L](2)}(n) (1) and [(VO)LB](n) (2-4), where H(2)L is tridentate and dianionic ligand (allylazorhodanine) and B is planar heterocyclic and aliphatic base have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, (1)H NMR, electronic spin resonance spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductance and thermal studies. The molecular structure shows the presence of a vanadyl group in six-coordinate VNO(3)/VN(3)O(3) coordination geometry. The N,N-donor heterocyclic and aliphatic bas displays a chelating mode of binding with an N-donor site trans to the vanadyl oxo-group. In all polymeric complexes (1-4) the ligand coordinates through oxygen of phenolic/enolic and azodye nitrogen. The molar conductivity data show them to be non-electrolytes. All the polymer complexes are ESR active due to the presence of an unpaired electron. The calculated bonding parameters indicate that in-plane σ bonding is more covalent than in-plane π bonding. From the electronic, magnetic and ESR spectral data suggest that all the oxovanadium(IV) polymer complexes have distorted octahedral geometry. The thermal decomposition process of the polymeric complexes involves three decomposition steps.

Polymer complexes: XLXII-interplay of coordination π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding in supramolecular assembly of [sulpha drug derivatives-N,S:N,O] complexes

A novel series of nickel(II) polymer complexes of 5-sulphadiazineazo-3-phenylamino-2-thio-4-thiazolidinone (HL₁), 5-sulphamethazine-3-phenylamino-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HL₂), 5-sulphamethoxazole-3-phenylamino-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HL₃), 5-sulphacetamide-3-phenyl-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HL₄) and 5-sulphaguanidine-3-phenylamino-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HL₅) were prepared and characterized. IR spectra show that HL(n) (n=1-5) is coordinated to the metal ion in a neutral tetradentate manner with NSNO donor sites of NH (hydrazone's), NH (3-phenylamine), carbonyl group and Ph-NH. The title [Ni₃(HL(n))₂(μ-OAc)₂(OAc)₄](n) consists of three Ni(II) atoms linked by interchain π-π interaction are observed between aromatic rings of two ligands (HL(n)) which are further doubly bridged two adjacent nickel atoms by acetate group. The geometrical structures of these complexes are found to be octahedral. The nature of bonding and the stereochemistry of the complexes have been deduced from elemental analyses, thermal, infrared, ¹H NMR, electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. The richness of electronic spectral in these complexes is also supporting evidence for the trinuclearity of the Ni(II) polymer complexes.

Polymer complexes. LIII. Supramolecular coordination modes and structural of novel sulphadrug complexes

Novel polymer complexes of copper(II), palladium(II), platinum(II) and cadmium(II) containing homopolymer [4-acrylamido benzene sulphonyl guanidine; (HL)] and various anions (SO₄²⁻, CH₃COO⁻, NO₃⁻, Br⁻ or Cl⁻) have been designed and carried out. Their structures were investigated by elemental analyses, spectral (IR, UV-vis, ¹H NMR and ESR) and magnetic moments. The modes of interactions between the ligand and the metals were discussed, where oxygen (of O=S=O group) and nitrogen atom [of imino nitrogen (NH/N) of the guanidine group] are involved in chelation. The homopolymer shows two types of coordination behaviour. In mononuclear polymer complexes 4 and 6-10, it acts as a neutral bidentate ligand chelated through the NH and O atoms, whereas in the polymer complexes 1-3, 5 and 11, monobasic bidentate ligand is coordinated through the -N and -O atoms. The poly-chelates are of 1:1/1:2 (metal-homopolymer) stoichiometry and exhibit four coordination. On the basis of electronic spectral data and magnetic susceptibility measurement square planar geometry has been proposed. The ESR spectral data provided information about their structure on the basis Hamiltonian parameters and degree of covalency. From the electron paramagnetic resonance and spectral data, the orbital reduction factors were calculated.

Polymer complexes: XLX. Novel supramolecular coordination modes of structure and bonding in polymeric hydrazone sulphadrugs uranyl complexes

Novel five binuclear polymeric dioxouranium(VI) of azosulphadrugs [(azodrug substances) azobenzene sulphonamides] were prepared for the first time. The infrared spectra of the samples were recorded and their fundamental vibration wave number was obtained. The resulting polymeric uranyl complexes were characterized on the basis of their elemental analyses, conductance and spectral (IR, NMR, and electronic spectra) data. The ligation modes of the azosulphadrugs ligands towards uranyl(II) ions were critically assigned and addressed properly on the basis of their IR and their uranyl(II) complexes. The theoretical aspects are described in terms of the well-known theory of 5d-4f transitions. The coordination geometries and electronic structures are determined from a framework for the modeling of novel polymer complexes. The values of nu(3) of the prepared complexes containing UO(2)(2+) were successfully used to calculate the force constant, F(UO) (1n 10(-8)N/A) and the bond length R(UO) of the U-O bond. Wilson's, matrix method, Badger's formula, and Jones and El-Sonbati equations were used to calculate the U-O bond distances from the values of the stretching and interaction force constants. The most probable correlations between U-O force constant to U-O bond distance were satisfactorily discussed in terms of "Badger's rule", "Jones" and "El-Sonbati equations".
