Synthesis, Crystal Structures and Urease Inhibition of Three Copper(I) Complexes Derived from
1Ningbo University.
Abstract:
Reaction of 2-(2,4-dichlorobenzydene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (L), triphenylphosphine with cuprous chloride, cuprous bromide and cuprous iodide, respectively, under the nitrogen atmosphere, afforded three new copper(I) complexes [CuClL(Ph3P)2]∙MeCN (1), [CuBrL(Ph3P)2]∙0.5EtOEt (2) and [CuIL(Ph3P)2] (3). The complexes have been characterized by means of single crystal X-ray crystallography and XPS. The ligand L in its neutral form coordinates to the Cu ion via S atom. The Cu atom in each complex is coordinated by one L, two PPh3 and one halide ligands, to form tetrahedral coordination. The XPS results are shown that the chemical valence state of copper in the product is +1. The complexes were evaluated for their urease inhibitory activity, and gave satisfactory results (IC50 = 13-19 μmol L-1).

02:42Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
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...

01:22Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
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 the dxy,...
