RESUMEN
This work describes the synthesis of eight new Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes with the general formula [M(TSC)Cl], where TSC represents the 4N-monosubstituted thiosemicarbazone derived from 2-acetylpyridine N-oxide with the substituents CH3 (H4MLO), C2H5 (H4ELO), phenyl (H4PLO) and (CH3)2 (H4DMLO). These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR spectroscopy, 1H, 13C, 195Pt and ESI-MS. The complexes exhibit a square planar geometry around the metallic center coordinated by a thiosemicarbazone molecule acting as a donor ONS-type pincer ligand and by a chloride, as confirmed by the molecular structures of the complexes, [Pd(4ELO)Cl] (3) and [Pd(4PLO)Cl] (5), determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The 195Pt NMR spectra of the complexes of formulae [Pt(4PLO)Cl] (6) and [Pt(4DMLO)Cl] (8) in DMSO show a single signal at -2420.4 ppm, confirming the absence of solvolysis products. Complexes 3 and 5 have been tested as catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid, with yields of between 50 and 90.
RESUMEN
The reaction between 5-acetylbarbituric acid and 4-dimethylthiosemicarbazide or 4-hexamethyleneiminyl thiosemicarbazide produces 5-acetylbarbituric-4-dimethylthiosemicarbazone (H2AcbDM) and 5-acetylbarbituric-4N-hexamethyleneiminyl thiosemicarbazone (H2Acbhexim). Eight new complexes with different copper(II) salts have been prepared and characterized using elemental analysis, molar conductance, UV-Vis, ESI-HRMS, FT-IR, magnetic moment, EPR, and cyclic voltammetry. In addition, three-dimensional molecular structures of [Cu(HAcbDM)(H2O)2](NO3)·H2O (3a), [Cu(HAcbDM)(H2O)2]ClO4 (4), and [Cu(HAcbHexim)Cl] (6) were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography, and an analysis of their supramolecular structure was carried out. The H-bonded assemblies were further studied energetically using DFT calculations and MEP surface and QTAIM analyses. In these complexes, the thiosemicarbazone coordinates to the metal ion in an ONS-tridentate manner, in the O-enolate/S-thione form. The electrochemical behavior of the thiosemicarbazones and their copper(II) complexes has been investigated at room temperature using the cyclic voltammetry technique in DMFA. The Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox system was found to be consistent with the quasi-reversible diffusion-controlled process.
RESUMEN
The versatile coordination chemistry of (2Z,N'E)-N'-(4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)picolinohydrazonamide (HAmDHotaz) facilitated the synthesis of new complexes with different silver(I) salts. This paper describes the synthesis and characterization, through elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques (when solubility permits), of a series of compounds that illustrate the coordinative and structural diversity achievable with the HAmDHotaz ligand. Five silver clusters containing the [Ag8(AmDHotaz)4]4+ nucleus were structurally analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and were found to exhibit solvomorphism. The compositions of these are [Ag8(AmDHotaz)4(NO3)3(MeOH)(H2O)](NO3)·MeOH·7.5H2O (1), {[Ag8(AmDHotaz)4(NO3)3(H2O)2](NO3)·9.5(H2O)}n (2), {[Ag8(AmDHotaz)4(NO3)3(H2O)2](NO3)·11.5(H2O)}n (2a), {[Ag8(AmDHotaz)4(NO3)2(H2O)2](NO3)(OH)·6H2O}n (3), and {[Ag8(AmDHotaz)4(NO3)2(H2O)](NO3)(OH)·4.5H2O}n (3a). Argentophilic interactions are present in each of the octanuclear structures, where Ag···Ag distances range from 2.828(2) to 2.986(1) Å. These distances are influenced by crystal packing, determined by the counterion and solvent molecules in the structure. In the solvatomorphs, solvent molecules were observed to be disordered. Various hydrogen-bonding interactions, such as N-H···O-N, O-H···O, N-H···OâC, C-H···O-N, and π-π stacking interactions, contribute to the crystal packing. The influence of these weak interactions on the crystal packing was further analyzed using DFT calculations and Bader's theory of atoms-in-molecules, with a focus on argentophilic interactions and Ag···S interactions.
RESUMEN
The synthesis and characterization of the multicomponent crystals formed by 2,2'-thiodiacetic acid (H2tda) and 2,6-diaminopurine (Hdap) or N9-(2-hydroxyethyl)adenine (9heade) are detailed in this report. These crystals exist in a salt rather than a co-crystal form, as confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffractometry, which reflects their ionic nature. This analysis confirmed proton transfer from the 2,2'-thiodiacetic acid to the basic groups of the coformers. The new multicomponent crystals have molecular formulas [(H9heade+)(Htda-)] 1 and [(H2dap+)2(tda2-)]·2H2O 2. These were also characterized using FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR and mass spectroscopies, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC) analyses. In the crystal packing the ions interact with each other via O-Hâ¯N, O-Hâ¯O, N-Hâ¯O, and N-Hâ¯N hydrogen bonds, generating cyclic hydrogen-bonded motifs with graph-set notation of R22(16), R22(10), R32(10), R33(10), R22(9), R32(8), and R42(8), to form different supramolecular homo- and hetero-synthons. In addition, in the crystal packing of 2, pairs of diaminopurinium ions display a strong anti-parallel π,π-stacking interaction, characterized by short inter-centroids and interplanar distances (3.39 and 3.24 Å, respectively) and a fairly tight angle (17.5°). These assemblies were further analyzed energetically using DFT calculations, MEP surface analysis, and QTAIM characterization.

Adenina , Protones , 2-AminopurinaRESUMEN
Reactions in water between the Cu2(µ-EGTA) chelate (EGTA = ethylene-bis(oxyethyleneimino)tetraacetate(4-) ion) and Hdap in molar ratios 1:1 and 1:2 yield only blue crystals of the ternary compound [Cu4(µ-EGTA)2(µ-H(N3)dap)2(H2O)2]·7H2O (1), which has been studied via single-crystal X-ray diffraction and various physical methods (thermal stability, spectral and magnetic properties), as well as DFT theoretical calculations. In the crystal, uncoordinated water is disordered. The tetranuclear complex molecule also has some irrelevant disorder in an EGTA-ethylene moiety. In the complex molecule, both bridging organic molecules act as binucleating ligands. There are two distorted five- and two six-coordinated Cu(II) centers. Each half of EGTA acts as a tripodal tetradentate Cu(II) chelator, with a mer-NO2 + O(ether, distal) conformation. Hdap exhibits the tautomer H(N3)dap, with the dissociable H-atom on its less basic N-heterocyclic atom. These features favor the efficient cooperation between Cu-N7 or Cu-N9 bonds with appropriate O-EGTA atoms, as N6-H···O or N3-H···O interligand interactions, respectively. The bridging role of both organics determines the tetranuclear dimensionality of the complex. In this crystal, such molecules associate in zig-zag chains built by alternating π-π interactions between the five- or six-atom rings of Hdap ligands of adjacent molecules. DFT theoretical calculations (using two different theoretical models and characterized by the quantum theory of "atoms in molecules") reveal the importance of these π-π interactions between Hdap ligands, as well as those corresponding to the referred hydrogen bonds in the contributed tetranuclear molecule.
RESUMEN
Considering that Cu(tda) chelate (tda: dithioacetate) is a receptor for adenine and related 6-aminopurines, this study reports on the synthesis, molecular and crystal structures, thermal stability, spectral properties and DFT calculations related to [Cu(tda)(9heade)(H2O)]·2H2O (1) [9heade: N9-(2-hydroxyethyl)adenine]. Concerning the molecular recognition of (metal chelate)-(adenine synthetic nucleoside), 1 represents an unprecedented metal binding pattern (MBP) for 9heade. However, unprecedentedly, the Cu(tda)-9heade molecular recognition in 1 is essentially featured in the Cu-N1(9heade) bond, without any N6-Hâ¯O(carboxyl tda) interligand interaction. Nevertheless, N1 being the most basic donor for N9-substituted adenines, this Cu-N1 bond is now assisted by an O2-water-mediated interaction (N6-Hâ¯O2 and O2â¯Cu weak contact). Also, in the crystal packing, the O-H(ol) of 9heade interacts with its own adenine moiety as a result of an O3-water-mediated interaction (O(ol)-Hâ¯O3 plus O3-H36â¯π(adenine moiety)). Both water-mediated interactions seem to be responsible for serious alterations in the physical properties of crystalline or grounded samples. Density functional theory calculations were used to evaluate the interactions energetically. Moreover, the quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules (QTAIM), in combination with the noncovalent interaction plot (NCIPlot), was used to analyze the interactions and rationalize the existence and relative importance of hydrogen bonding, chalcogen bonding and π-stacking interactions. The novelty of this work resides in the discovery of a novel binding mode for N9-(2-hydroxyethyl)adenine. Moreover, the investigation of the important role of water in the solid state of 1 is also relevant, along with the chalcogen bonding interactions demonstrated by the density functional theory (DFT) study.
RESUMEN
The crystal structure of a newly synthesized compound, [PbL(Ac)]2 , (where L=2 (amino(pyrazin-2-yl) methylene) hydrazinecarbothioamide, Ac=acetate anion) exhibits a close contact between pairs of Pb atoms, suggesting a ditetrel bond, in addition to two Pbâ â â O tetrel bonds, and two C-Hâ â â O H-bonds. The presence of this ditetrel bond as an attractive component is confirmed by various quantum chemical methods. This novelty of this particular bond is its existence even in the absence of a σ-hole on the Pb atom, which is typically considered a prerequisite for a bond of this type. From a wider perspective, a survey of the Cambridge Structural Database suggests this bond may be more common than was hitherto thought, with 44 examples of Pbâ â â Pb contacts amongst a total number of 219 examples of Tâ â â T interactions in general (T=Si, Ge, Sn, Pb).

Plomo , Aniones , Modelos MolecularesRESUMEN
The synthetic nucleoside acyclovir is considered an outstanding model of the natural nucleoside guanosine. With the purpose of deepening on the influence and nature of non-covalent interactions regarding molecular recognition patterns, three novel Cu(II) complexes, involving acyclovir (acv) and the ligand receptor N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine (hen), have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. The three novel compounds introduce none, one or two acyclovir molecules, respectively. Molecular recognition has been evaluated using single crystal X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, theoretical calculations and other physical methods such as thermogravimetric analysis, infrared and UV-Vis spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance and magnetic measurements have been used. Theoretical calculations are in line with experimental results, supporting the relevance of the [metal-N7(acv) + H-bond] molecular recognition pattern. It was also shown that (hen)O-H group is used as preferred H-donor when it is found within the basal coordination plane, since the higher polarity of the terminal (hen)O-H versus the N-H group favours its implication. Otherwise, when (hen)O-H occupies the distal coordination site, (hen)N-H groups can take over.
RESUMEN
Seven novel Copper(II) complexes, namely [Cu(Am4DHotaz)(H2O)2](ClO4) (1), [Cu(Am4DHotaz)(NO3)(MeOH)]·H2O (2), [Cu(Am4Motaz)2(H2O)](ClO4)2·0.83H2O (3), [Cu(Am4Motaz)2(NO3)]NO3·MeOH (4), [Cu(Am4Eotaz)2(NO3)]3(NO3)3·2H2O (5), [Cu(Am4Eotaz)2(ClO4)](ClO4) (6) and [Cu(Am4Eotaz)(ClO4)(H2O)](ClO4) (6a) (HAm4DHotazâ¯=â¯N'-(4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)pyridine-2-carbohydrazonamide, Am4Motazâ¯=â¯N'-(3-methyl-4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)pyridine-2-carbohydrazonamide and Am4Eotazâ¯=â¯N'-(3-ethyl-4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)pyridine-2-carbohydrazonamide), have been successfully synthesized and characterized by several physicochemical techniques and, for 1-6 complexes, single crystal X-ray diffraction. Having the structural data as a base, complexes 1, 2 and 3 exhibited square pyramidal to square pyramidal slightly distorted geometry, whereas 4, 5 and 6 an intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal. The ability of complexes 1-6 to cleave DNA was assayed with the aid of gel electrophoresis on supercoiled pUC18-DNA. Except for [Cu(Am4Motaz)2(H2O)](ClO4)2·0.83H2O (3), the compounds were not able to perform DNA cleavage (data not shown). Since 3 has been shown to behave as a nuclease, its interaction with DNA was studied by means of thermal denaturation and viscosimetry measurements.

Four ternary metal-complexes with Cu(II) or Zn(II), 2,6-pyridine-dicarboxylate (pdc) or glycyl-glycinate (GG) and the synthetic nucleoside 9-(2-hydroxyethyl)adenine (9heade) have been synthesized and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and other physical methods. Relevant supramolecular assemblies found in the solid state structures have been further studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In addition, the energetic features of the non-covalent interactions as well as the cooperativity effects have been calculated and characterized using the non-covalent interaction plot computational tool. Compounds trans-[Cu(pdc)(9heade)(H2O)2]·3H2O (1a) and [Cu(pdc)(9heade)(H2O)]·H2O (1b), trans-[Zn(pdc)(9heade)(H2O)2] (2), share the same molecular recognition pattern consisting in the cooperation of the metal-N7(9heade) bond and an interligand (9heade)N6-H···O(pdc) interaction, regardless of the nature of the metal, the coordination environment and the water content. At a supramolecular level, these compounds exhibit pairs of complex molecules linked by H-bonds and interesting anion-π/π-π/π-anion assemblies (in 1a and 1b) or the unprecedented π-π interactions (in 2), involving the purine moieties or the exocyclic -6NH2 purine groups, respectively. Compound 3, {[Cu(GG)(9heade)(H2O)·Cu(GG)(µ2-9heade)]·8H2O}n, consists in asymmetric dinuclear complex units (Cu···Cu 7.83â¯Å) that connect with adjacent ones by pairs of very weak Cu-O(carboxylate) bonds (Cu···Cu 3.81â¯Å) building a polymeric chain. The supramolecular transition from a single molecule to dinuclear units and finally a polymeric chain is also observed in the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra and discussed from a structural point of view as well as by DFT calculations. The unprecedented N7 and µ-N7,O(ol) metal binding patterns of 9heade differs from that recently reported (µ-N1,N7) in a Cd(II) polymer.

Mixed divalent Cu, Co, Ni and Zn complexes containing the new sulfonamide ligand N-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)quinoline-8-sulfonamide (HQSEP) were prepared and characterized by physico-chemical techniques. The tetracoordinate [Cu(QSEP)X] [Xâ¯=â¯Br (1), Cl (2)] compounds present a seesaw geometry (τ4â¯=â¯0.56 (1) and 0.50 (2)). The Cu(II) in the [Cu(QSEP)(NO3)(MeOH)] (3) complex is five coordinate with a slightly distorted SP geometry (τâ¯=â¯0.11). The [M(QSEP)(benz)] [Mâ¯=â¯Cu(II) (4), Ni(II) (5), Co(II) (6) and Zn(II) (7); benzâ¯=â¯benzoate] compounds are configurationally isotypic. The coordination geometries of the M(II) ions can be best described as distorted SP (τâ¯=â¯0.29, 0.15, 0.34 and 0.18 for 4, 5, 6 and 7, respectively). The interaction of the compounds with CT-DNA was studied by different techniques. Notably, these studies indicated that the tetracoordinate complexes (1 and 2) present higher DNA affinity than pentacoordinate compounds (3-7). In line with the Irving-Williams order of stability, 5 presented higher propensity for DNA binding than 6. Interestingly, the cleavage activity of 1-4 in the presence of ascorbate/H2O2 follows the same trend as that found for DNA binding affinity, being the tetracoordinate 1 and 2 more effective as nucleases than the five coordinate 3 and 4. Also, the DNA cleavage reaction mechanism was investigated. DNA cleavage experiments upon irradiation indicated the important role of the aromatic nature of the coligand in the photocleavage activity of 1-4. Finally, the interaction of the compounds with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied and the binding constants were calculated.

The study of the metal binding pattern of N-methyladenines (1-, 3-, 7- or 9-Meade) towards CuII-iminodiacetate-like chelates is addressed on the basis of XRD crystal structures of sixteen novel ternary compounds. Except for three compounds, all others feature an square-based Cu(II) coordination, type 4â¯+â¯1, and the efficient cooperation of a CuN7 bond with an intra-molecular N6-Hâ¯O(coord. carboxylate) interligand interaction as the major metal-binding pattern. The three referred exceptions to this behavior are: (1) the compound [Cu(MIDA)(7Meade)(H2O)]·4H2O, which evidence the CuN3 binding pattern; the (2) [Cu(IDA)(1Meade)(H2O)2]·4H2O, which molecular recognition consist in the CuN9 bond and a (distal aqua)â¯â¯N3(1Meade) intra-molecular interaction, within an octahedral Cu(II) center; and (3) [Cu(IDA)(9Meade)(H2O)2]·3H2O, also with a 4â¯+â¯1â¯+â¯1 Cu(II) coordination, where the CuN7 bond exists along with an extremely weak N6-Hâ¯O(coord. carboxylate) interaction (3.33â¯Å, 140.2°). This former interaction is determined by packing forces that promote the participation of the N6H group in a 'trifurcated' H-bond. In conclusion, the cooperation between the CuN7 bond (not possible for 7Meade) and the intra-molecular N6-Hâ¯O interaction is clearly favored (a) by the H-accepting role of the O-coordinated carboxylate atoms from the iminodiacetate ligands in mer-NO2 conformation and (b) in compounds where the Cu(II) atom exhibits an elongated square-base pyramidal coordination, type 4â¯+â¯1.

The reaction of 2-cyanopyridine with N-phenylthiosemicarbazide afforded 2-[amino(pyridin-2-yl)methylidene]-N-phenylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide (Ham4ph) and crystals of 4-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (pyph3NS, 1, C13H10N4S). Crystals of methyl 2-{[4-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]sulfanyl}acetate (phpy2NS, 2, C16H14N4O2S), derived from 1, were obtained by the reaction of Ham4ph with chloroacetic acid, followed by the acid-catalyzed esterification of the carboxylic acid with methyl alcohol. Crystals of bis(methanol-κO)bis(methyl 2-{[4-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl-κ2N1,N5]sulfanyl}acetato)zinc(II)/cadmium(II) hexabromidocadmate(II), [Zn0.76Cd0.24(C16H14N4O2S)2(CH3OH)2][Cd2Br6] or [Zn0.76Cd0.24(phpy2NS)2(MeOH)2][Cd2Br6], 3, and dichlorido(methyl 2-{[4-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl-κ2N1,N5]sulfanyl}acetato)mercury(II), [HgCl2(C16H14N4O2S)] or [Hg(phpy2NS)Cl2], 4, were synthesized using ligand 2 and CdBr2 or HgCl2, respectively. The molecular and supramolecular structures of the compounds were studied by X-ray diffractometry. The asymmetric unit of 3 is formed from CdBr3 and M(phpy2NS)(MeOH) units, where the metal centre M has a 76% occupancy of ZnII and 24% of CdII. The M2+ centre of the cation, located on a crystallographic inversion centre, is hexacoordinated and appears as a slightly distorted octahedral [MN4O2]2+ cation. The Cd centre of the anion is coordinated by two terminal bromide ligands and two bridging bromide ligands that generate [Cd2Br6]2- cadmium-bromide clusters. These clusters display crystallographic inversion symmetry forming two edge-shared tetrahedra and serve as agents that direct the structure in the formation of supramolecular assemblies. In mononuclear complex 4, the coordination geometry around the Hg2+ ion is distorted tetrahedral and comprises two chloride ligands and two N-atom donors from the phpy2NS ligand, viz. one pyridine N atom and the other from triazole. In the crystal packing, all four compounds exhibit weak intermolecular interactions, which facilitate the formation of three-dimensional architectures. Along with the noncovalent interactions, the structural diversity in the complexes can be attributed to the metal centre and to the coordination geometry, as well as to its ionic or neutral character.
RESUMEN
The asymmetric 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazole ligand H2V (5-amino-3-picolinamido-1,2,4-triazole) by reaction with an excess of Cu(ii) perchlorate (Cu : H2V being 12 : 1) has produced a novel hexanuclear {Cu6(µ3-O/H)(HV/V)3} fragment, with one triangular Cu3(µ3-O/H) group connected to three peripheral single Cu(ii) ions through a cis-cis-trans bridging mode of the ligand, which is the building block of the three structures described here: one hexanuclear, [Cu6(µ3-O)(HV)3(ClO4)7(H2O)9]·8H2O (1), one dodecanuclear, [Cu12(µ3-O)2(V)6(ClO4)5(H2O)18](ClO4)3·6H2O (2), and one tetradecanuclear 1D-polymer, {[Cu14(µ3-OH)2(V)6(HV)(ClO4)11(H2O)20](ClO4)2·14H2O} n (3), the last two containing hexanuclear subunits linked by perchlorato bridges. The Cu-Cu av. intra-triangle distance is 3.352(2) Å and the Cu(central)-Cu(bridged external) av. distance is 5.338(3) Å. The magnetic properties of the hexanuclear "Cu3O-3Cu" cluster have been studied, resulting as best fit parameters: g = 2.18(1), J(intra-triangle) = -247.0(1) cm-1 and j(central CuII - external CuII) = -5.15(2) cm-1.
RESUMEN
We report the design as well as structural and spectroscopic characterizations of two new coordination compounds obtained from Cd(NO3)2·4H2O and polydentate ligands, benzilbis(pyridin-2-yl)methylidenehydrazone (LI) and benzilbis(acetylpyridin-2-yl)methylidenehydrazone (LII), in a mixture with two equivalents of NH4NCS in MeOH, namely [Cd(SCN)(NCS)(LI)(MeOH)] (1) and [Cd(NCS)2(LII)(MeOH)] (2). Both LI and LII are bound via two pyridyl-imine units yielding a tetradentate coordination mode giving rise to the 12 π electron chelate ring. It has been determined for the first time (qualitatively and quantitatively), using the EDDB electron population-based method, the HOMA index, and the ETS-NOCV charge and energy decomposition scheme, that the chelate ring containing CdII can be classified as a quasi-aromatic Möbius motif. Notably, using the methyl-containing ligand LII controls the exclusive presence of the NCS- connected with the CdII atom (structure 2), while applying LI allows us to simultaneously coordinate NCS- and SCN- ligands (structure 1). Both systems are stabilized mostly by hydrogen bonding, C-H···π interactions, aromatic π···π stacking, and dihydrogen C-H···H-C bonds. The optical properties have been investigated by diffused reflectance spectroscopy as well as molecular and periodic DFT/TD-DFT calculations. The DFT-based ETS-NOCV analysis as well as periodic calculations led us to conclude that the monomers which constitute the obtained chelates are extremely strongly bonded to each other, and the calculated interaction energies are found to be in the regime of strong covalent connections. Intramolecular van der Waals dispersion forces, due to the large size of LI and LII, appeared to significantly stabilize these systems as well as amplify the aromaticity phenomenon.
RESUMEN
Five novel ternary copper(II) complexes with the N,O2,S-tripodal tetradentate chelators N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)-S-benzylcysteaminate(2-) ion (BCBC) or N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(carboxymethyl)cystaminate(4-) ion (TCC) and adenine (Hade), 2,6-diaminopurine (Hdap), 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as co-ligand were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction and other physical methods: [Cu2(BCBC)2(µ2-N3,N7-H(N9)ade)(H2O)2]·H2O (1), [Cu2(BCBC)2(µ2-N7,N9-H(N3)dap)(H2O)2]·4H2O (2), [Cu2(µ2-TCC)(H(N9)ade)2(H2O)2]·10H2O (3), [Cu2(µ2-TCC)(bpy)2]·15H2O (4) and [Cu2(µ2-TCC)(phen)2]·14H2O (5). The crystal structure of H4TCC·3H2O was also determined. All ternary Cu(II) complexes have molecular structures. The N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-iminodiacetate moieties of BCBC or TCC ligands play a NO2+S-tripodal tetradentate role, with the S-(thioether or disulfide) atom as the apical/distal donor of the copper(II) center. In 1-3, the iminodiacetate moiety exhibits a mer-NO2 conformation (two nearly coplanar chelate rings) while in 4 and 5 (with bpy or phen as coligand) it displays a fac-NO+O (apical/distal) conformation. We conclude that the formation of the Cu-S(thioether or disulfide) bonds is strongly favored by the N-branched topology of the S-ligands in the reported compounds.

Several nucleic acid components and their metal complexes are known to be involved in crucial metabolic steps. Therefore the study of metal-nucleic acid interactions becomes essential to understand these biological processes. In this work, the synthetic purine-like nucleoside acyclovir (acv) has been used as a model of guanosine recognition with copper(II)-polyamine chelates. The chemical stability of the N9-acyclic arm in acv offers the possibility to use this antiviral drug to deepen the knowledge of metal-nucleoside interactions. Cu(II) chelates with cyclam, cyclen and trien were used as suitable receptors. All these copper(II) tetraamine chelates have in common the potential ability to yield a Cu-N7(apical) bond assisted by an appropriate (amine)N-Hâ¯O6(acv) intra-molecular interligand interaction. A series of synthesis afforded the following compounds: [Cu(cyclam)(ClO4)2] (1), {[Cu(cyclam)(µ2-NO3)](NO3)}n (2), {[Cu(cyclam)(µ2-SO4)]·MeOH}n (3), {[Cu(cyclam)(µ2-SO4)]·5H2O}n (4), [Cu(cyclen)(H2O)]SO4·2H2O (5), [Cu(cyclen)(H2O)]SO4·3H2O (6), [Cu(trien)(acv)](NO3)2·acv (7) and [Cu(trien)(acv)]SO4·0.71H2O (8). All these compounds have been characterized by X-ray crystallography and FT-IR spectroscopy. Our results reveal that the macrochelates Cu(cyclen)(2+) and Cu(cyclam)(2+) are unable to bind acv at an apical site. In contrast, the Cu(trien)(2+) complex has proved to be an efficient receptor for acv in compounds (7) and (8). In the ternary complex [Cu(trien)(acv)](2+), the metal binding pattern of acv consists of an apical Cu-N7 bond assisted by an intra-molecular (primary amino)N-Hâ¯O6(acv) interligand interaction. Structural comparisons reveal that this unprecedented apical role of acv is due to the acyclic nature of trien together with the ability of the Cu(trien)(2+) chelate to generate five-coordinated (type 4+1) copper(II) complexes.

Two novel (µ-guanazole)-bridged binuclear copper(II) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), [Cu2(µ-N2,N4-Hdatrz)(phen)2(H2O)(NO3)4] (1) and [Cu2(µ-N1,N2-datrz)2(µ-OH2)(bipy)2](ClO4)2 (2) (Hdatrz = 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole = guanazole), have been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, and susceptibility measurements. Compounds 1 and 2 differ in the aromatic amine, which acts as a coligand, and in the Cu···Cu'-bridging system. Compound 1, which contains two mono-bridged copper ions, represents the first example of a discrete Cu-(NCN-trz)-Cu' complex. Compound 2, with two triply bridged copper ions, is one of the few compounds featuring a Cu-[(NN-trz)2 + (O-aquo)]-Cu' unit. Both compounds display antiferromagnetic coupling but of different magnitude: J (µ2,4-triazole) = -52 cm(-1) for 1 and J (µ1,2-triazolate) = -115 cm(-1) for 2. The DNA binding and cleavage properties of the two compounds have been investigated. Fluorescence, viscosimetry, and thermal denaturation studies reveal that both complexes have high affinity for DNA (1 > 2) and that only 1 acts as an intercalator. In the presence of a reducing agent like 3-mercaptopropionic acid, 1 produces significant oxidative DNA cleavage, whereas 2 is inactive. However, in the presence of very small quantities of micelles filled with core-shell CdSe-ZnS quantum dots (15 nM), 1 and 2 are considerably more active and become highly efficient nucleases as a result of the different possible mechanisms for promoting cooperative catalysis (metal-metal, metal-hydrogen bonding, metal-intercalation, and metal-nanoparticle). Electrophoresis DNA-cleavage inhibition experiments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies, and fluorescence ethidium bromide displacement assays reveal that in these novel nucleases the QDs act as redox-active protein-like nanoparticle structures that bind to the DNA and deliver electrons to the copper(II) centers for the generation of Cu(I) and reactive oxygen species.

Mixed ligand M(II)-complexes (MCoZn) with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate(2-) chelator (pdc) and adenine (Hade) have been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction and other spectral and thermal methods: [Cu(pdc)(H(N9)ade)(H2O)] (1), [Cu2(pdc)2(H2O)2(µ2-N3,N7-H(N9)ade)]·3H2O (2), trans-[M(pdc)(H(N9)ade)(H2O)2]·nH2O for MCo (3-L, 3-M, 3-H) or Zn (4-L, 4-H), where n is 0, 1 or 3 for the 'lowest' (L), 'medium' (M) and 'highest' (H) hydrated forms, and the salt trans-[Ni(pdc)(H2(N1,N9)ade)(H2O)2]Cl·2H2O (5). In all the nine compounds, both neutral and cationic adenine exist as their most stable tautomer and the molecular recognition pattern between the metal-pdc chelates and the adenine or adeninium(1+) ligands involves the MN7 bond in cooperation with an intra-molecular N6Hâ¯O(coordinated carboxylate) interligand interaction. In addition the dinuclear copper(II) compound (2) has the CuN3 bond and the N9Hâ¯O(coord. carboxylate) interaction. The structures of mononuclear ternary complexes proved that the molecular recognition pattern is the same irrespective of (a) the coordination geometry of the complex molecule, (b) the different hydrated forms of crystals with Co or Zn, and (c) the neutral of cationic form of the adenine ligand. These features are related to the mer-NO2 chelating ligand conformation (imposed by the planar rigidity of pdc) as a driving force for the observed metal binding mode.

Four ternary complexes, [Cu(L1)2(bipy)] (1) [HL1 = N-(6-chlorobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide], [Cu(L2)2(bipy)] (2) [HL2 = N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide], [Cu(L3)2(bipy)]·1/2H2O (3) [HL3 = N-(5,6-dimethylbenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide] and [Cu(L4)2(bipy)] (4) [HL4 = N-(5,6-dimethylbenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide], were prepared and then characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. Whereas the molecular structure of 1 and 2 consists of a discrete monomeric copper(II) species with a distorted square planar geometry, that of 3 and 4 consists of two independent molecules. In 3, both molecules present a different coordination geometry (distorted square planar and distorted square pyramidal) while in 4 they have an identical coordination environment (distorted square planar). The propensity for binding of 1-4 to calf thymus DNA was studied by thermal denaturation, viscosimetry, and fluorescence measurements. Results indicated that the N-sulfonamide derivative plays an important role in governing the type of interaction with DNA. The ability of the complexes to cleave DNA was studied in vitro with ascorbate activation and was tested by monitoring the expression of the yEGFP gene containing the RAD54 reporter. Moreover, their antiproliferative activity was verified in two cellular models: yeast and human tumor cells in culture. Their DNA cleavage efficiency at the cellular level was found to be: 1 < 3 ~ 4 < 2. The higher propensity of 2 for inflicting DNA damage was related with its higher binding affinity to DNA. The biological studies carried out with human tumor cells, colon adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells and leukemia Jurkat T lymphocytes confirmed that the compounds produce cell death mainly by apoptosis, the complex 2 being the most effective.
