Abstract
A 14-membered hexamethyl-tetraazamacrocycle, viz. Me6[14]diene.2HClO4 (L.2HClO4), afforded a mixture of isomeric ligands, Me6[14]anes, upon reduction with NaBH4 and extraction by CHCl3 at pH > 12. These ligands were separated by fractional crystallization from xylene and were designated as ‘tet-a’ and ‘tet-b.’ The interaction of ‘tet-b’ with excess acrylonitrile was fairly stereoselective and formed an N-pendent derivative, ‘tet-bx’, in which two cyano-ethyl groups were attached to trans N-atoms that are sterically less crowded. Aeration of ‘tet-bx’ and cobalt(II) acetate salt in methanol, followed by its treatment with HCl, yielded a bluish-green product, viz. trans-[Co(‘tet-bx’)Cl2]Cl. trans-[Co(‘tet-bx’)Cl2]Cl underwent axial substitution reactions with KSCN and KNO3 and subsequent axial substitution and anion exchange reactions with NaNO2, KBr, and KI to produce six-coordinated octahedral complexes, viz. bluish-green trans-[Co(‘tet-bx’)(NCS)2]Cl, light-blue trans-[Co(‘tet-bx’)(NO3)2]Cl, yellow trans-[Co(‘tet-bx’)(NO2)2]NO2, green trans-[Co(‘tet-bx’)Br2]Br, and red trans-[Co(‘tet-bx’)I2]I. These complexes were characterized using different modern analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The antibacterial activities of the N-pendent ligand and its cobalt(III) complexes on four types of selected bacteria were investigated.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry is the premier interdisciplinary publication reporting on original research into all aspects of host-guest systems. Examples of specific areas of interest are: the preparation and characterization of new hosts and new host-guest systems, especially those involving macrocyclic ligands; crystallographic, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and theoretical studies; applications in chromatography and inclusion polymerization; enzyme modelling; molecular recognition and catalysis by inclusion compounds; intercalates in biological and non-biological systems, cyclodextrin complexes and their applications in the agriculture, flavoring, food and pharmaceutical industries; synthesis, characterization and applications of zeolites.
The journal publishes primarily reports of original research and preliminary communications, provided the latter represent a significant advance in the understanding of inclusion science. Critical reviews dealing with recent advances in the field are a periodic feature of the journal.
