Copper(II) and Nickel(II) Complexes Derived from Isostructural Bromo- and Fluoro-Containing Bis-Schiff Bases: Syntheses, Crystal Structures and Antimicrobial Activity.

A mononuclear copper(II) complex [CuLa] (1), and three mononuclear nickel(II) complexes [NiLa] (2), [NiLa]·CH3OH (2·CH3OH) and [NiLb] (3), where La and Lb are the dianionic form of N,N'-bis(4-bromosalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine (H2La) and N,N'-bis(4-fluorosalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine (H2Lb), respectively, were prepared and structurally characterized by spectroscopy method and elemental analyses. The detailed structures were determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. All the copper and nickel complexes are mononuclear compounds.

Four new fluoro-containing hydrazones were synthesized from 4-fluorobenzaldehyde with chloro- and nitro-substituted benzohydrazides. They are 3-chloro-N'-(4-fluorobenzylidene)benzohydrazide (1), 2-chloro-N'-(4-fluorobenzylidene)benzohydrazide (2), N'-(4-fluorobenzylidene)-4-nitrobenzohydrazide (3), and N'-(4-fluorobenzylidene)-3-nitrobenzohydrazide (4). The compounds have been characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectra, as well as X-ray single crystal determination.

Syntheses, X-Ray Single Crystal Structures and Biological Activities of Cobalt(III) Complexes with Reduced Schiff Base Ligands.

A new mononuclear cobalt(III) complex, [Co(HL1)2]Cl (1), derived from the reduced Schiff base 2,2'-((ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(methylene))diphenol (H2L1), and a new dinuclear cobalt(III) complex, [Co2(L2)2]∆2H2O (2), derived from the reduced Schiff base 6,6'-(2-hydroxypropane-1,3-diyl)bis(azanediyl)bis(methylene)bis(2-bromo-4-chlorophenol) (H2L2), were synthesized and characterized by infrared and electronic spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The ligands were synthesized first, and then bound to the Co(III) centre. Compound 1 contains a mononuclear [Co(HL1)2]+ cation and a chloride anion.

In the title compound, C(22)H(16)N(2)OS(2), the phenanthrene ring is nearly perpendicular to the phenyl ring, making a dihedral angle of 87.2 (2)°. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O inter-actions are present.

N'-(3-Bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxy-benzyl-idene)-4-hydr-oxybenzohydrazide.

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(14)H(10)BrClN(2)O(3), is planar [dihedral angle between the aromatic rings = 3.0 (2)°] and shows a trans configuration with respect to the C=N double bond. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and an intramolecular O-H⋯N interaction also occurs.

In each of the two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C(13)H(15)NO(3))(C(3)H(4)N(2))], the Cu(II) atom is four-coordinated by two O atoms and the N atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand and one N atom from the imidazole ligand in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
