Abstract:
Schiff base complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) and U(VI)O2 with (E)-2-(1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene)-N-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide (H2PHAT) were synthesized and characterized by different physicochemical methods, elemental analysis, (UV-vis, IR and (1)H NMR spectra) and thermal analysis (TG and DTG) techniques. Spectral data showed that H2PHAT behaves as a NS bidentate ligand through both thione sulphur or thiol sulphur and the nitrogen of the pyridine ring or azomethine nitrogen, NSN tridentate ligand through both thione sulphur or thiol sulphur, the nitrogen of the pyridine ring and azomethine nitrogen. ESR spectrum data for Cu(II) solid complex confirms the square planar state is the most fitted one for the coordinated structure. The kinetic parameters were determined for each thermal degradation stage of the complexes using Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods. From modeling studies, the bond length, bond angle, HOMO, LUMO and dipole moment had been calculated to confirm the geometry of the ligand and their investigated complexes. The biological activity was tested against DNA showing that Cd(II), U(VI)O2, Ni(II) and Mn(II) complexes had powerful and complete degradation effect. Also, the ligand and its complexes were screened against Bacillus thuringiensis as Gram-positive bacteria and Pseudomonas aeuroginosa as Gram-negative bacteria using the inhibitory zone diameter.

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,...

01:17Thermal Electrocyclic Reactions: Stereochemistry
Selection Rules: Thermal Activation
Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
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...
