Five new copper(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes derived from 2-((2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethylimino)methyl)phenol were synthesized and structurally characterized. Single crystal X-ray analysis indicates that the Cu atoms in the tetranuclear complexes 1 and 2 are in a square pyramidal coordination, the Ni atoms in the trinuclear complexes 3 and 4 are in an octahedral coordination and the Zn atom in the mononuclear complex 5 is in a tetrahedral coordination. In vitro bacterial viability revealed that the copper and zinc complexes have effective antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis , S. aureus , E. coli and P. fluorescens , and general activity against the fungal strains C. albicans and A. niger. [Display omitted] Five new copper(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes, [Cu 4 Cl 2 (μ 1,1 -N 3) 4 (DMF) 2 ] (1), [Cu 4 Br 2 (μ 1,1 -N 3) 4 (DMF) 2 ] (2), [Ni 3 L 2 (CH 3 COO) 4 ]CH 3 OH (3), [Ni 3 L 2 (CH 3 COO) 2 (μ 1,1 -N 3) 2 (CH 3 OH) 2 ] (4) and [Zn(LH)I 2 ]CH 3 OH (5), were designed and successfully synthesized using the Schiff base ligand 2-((2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethylimino)methyl)phenol (HL). All the synthesized complexes were characterized using different physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods, like elemental analysis, infrared spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray structural analysis showed that the Cu atoms in the tetranuclear complexes 1 and 2 are in a square pyramidal coordination, the Ni atoms in the trinuclear complexes 3 and 4 are in an octahedral coordination and the Zn atom in the mononuclear complex 5 is in a tetrahedral coordination. The Schiff base ligand was coordinated to the metal atoms through the phenolate oxygen, imino nitrogen and/or pyrrolidine nitrogen atoms. The biological study indicated that the copper and zinc complexes have interesting antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis , S. aureus , E. coli and P. fluorescens , with MIC values of 0.6–2.3 μmol/L.

A new manganese(II) complex [MnL2(NCS)2]·2H2O with the Schiff base ligand derived from 3-bromosalicylaldehyde withN-cyclohexylpropane-1,3-diamine has been synthesized and structurally characterized by physicochemical methods and single-crystal X-ray determination. The crystal of the complex crystallizes in monoclinic space groupC2/c, witha= 24.749(2),b= 7.2957(7),c= 26.183(4) Å,β= 118.70(2)°,V= 4171.6(8) Å3,Z= 4,R1= 0.0893,wR2= 0.2305, GOOF = 1.084. X-ray analysis indicates that the complex is a mononuclear manganese species, which possesses crystallographic inversion center symmetry. The Mn atom, lying on the inversion center, is coordinated in an octahedral coordination by two phenolate O and two imine N atoms from two Schiff base ligands, and two thiocyanate N atoms. The catalytic property for epoxidation of styrene by the complex has also been tested. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Two new dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes [MoO2(Bhbz) (CH3OH)] (1) and [MoO2(Cnbz)(CH3OH)] (2) with the benzohydrazone ligands H2Bhbz and H2Cnbz derived from 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde with 4-nitrobenzohydrazide and 3-bromosalicylaldehyde with 2-hydroxybenzohydrazide, respectively, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by physicochemical methods and single crystal X-ray determination.

The crystal of (2) crystallizes in monoclinic space groupP21/c, witha= 7.4108(3),b= 18.7901(7),c= 12.6293(5) Å,β= 104.4850(10)°,V= 1702.72(12) Å3,Z= 4,R1= 0.0236,wR2= 0.0576,S= 1.061. X-ray analysis indicates that the structures of both complexes are similar to each other. The molybdenum atom in each complex is in an octahedral coordination environment, constructed by two oxo groups and NO2donor set of the ligand, and one methanol O atom. The complexes have effective catalytic property for the oxidation of several olefins. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
