Abstract:
Reaction of the BDPAA (N,N-dimethyl pyridine-based tri(carboxamide)) with iron tetrafluoroborate, cobalt chloride and nickel triflate separately in methanol/acetonitrile affords the complex, [Fe(BDPAA)(H2O)](BF4)2, [Co(BDPAA)(H2O)]Cl2 and [Ni(BDPAA)(H2O)](CF3SO3)2, respectively. The solid-state structural analysis of cobalt and nickel complexes of bis-dipicolinamideacetamide (BDPAA) ligand and the solution state paraCEST studies of all three complexes are presented. Among these complexes, only Co(II)-BDPAA complex exhibits remarkable paraCEST activity due to exchangeable carboxamide NH2 protons, whereas the corresponding Fe complex shows very little CEST effect and Ni complex did not show CEST activity at all. Single crystal X-ray analysis of [Co(BDPAA)(H2O)]Cl2 indicates that the Co(II) ion exhibits a seven-coordination with N3O2 from the ligand and one inner sphere water molecule, leading to a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal (pbp) geometry. Presaturation of the picolinamide protons of the Co complex, 73 ppm distant from the bulk water signal by 25 μT pulse at 37 °C leads to an 18 % decrease in intensity of 1H NMR signals due to CEST effect. The Co-BDPAA complex shows the best CEST effect at pH around 7.4-7.6. The measured proton exchange rate constant (kex) values for the CEST peaks at 20 and 73 ppm were approximately 3.66×103 s-1 and 3.74×103 s-1, respectively.

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, SCN− can...

Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.

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...
