Abstract:
The synthesis and comparative studies of two new binuclear PdII isomer complexes derived from TPTZ, [2,4,6-tri-(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine], have been synthesized and characterized. Their structures have been investigated by elemental analyses, spectral (IR, UV-vis, mass and 1H-NMR) and thermal measurements. Electronic and magnetic studies suggest a distorted square-planar around the two PdII ions. The HOMO, LUMO and DFT parameters on the atoms have been calculated to confirm the geometry of the ligand and their complexes. Kinetic parameters were determined using Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods. Also, the geometry of the two isomers is confirmed using DFT method from DMOL3 calculations. Moreover, the two PdII complexes have different specific optical rotation where the red PdII complex has dextrorotatory (+5.68) while the yellow PdII complex has levorotatory (-9.37). The results of biological activity for the two PdII complexes promised to be effective in tumor treatment.

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...
02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than...
