Nickel(II) Complexes Bearing 4-Arylimino-1,2,3-trihydroacridines: Synthesis, Characterization, and Ethylene Oligomerization.

ABSTRACT: Nickel(II) complexes have attracted much attention as a new generation of olefin catalysts since the ?-diiminonickel complex was discovered as a highly efficient procatalyst for ethylene polymerization. A series of novel 4-arylimino-1,2,3-trihydroacridylnickel(II) dihalide complexes was synthesized in a one-pot reaction of 2,3-dihydroacridine-4-one and different anilines with nickel(II) chloride or nickel(II) bromide 1,2-dimethoxyethane complex. The complexes were characterized by infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of the representative complexes 4-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)-1,2,3-trihydroacridylnickel(II) dichloride (C3), 4-(2,4,6-trimethylphenylimino)-1,2,3-trihydroacridylnickel dichloride(II) (C4), and 4-(2,4,6-trimethylphenylimino)-1,2,3-trihydroacridylnickel(II) dibromide (C9) were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, revealing a distorted tetrahedral geometry around the nickel(II) of C3 and distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry for C4 and C9. With the activation of trimethylaluminium (TMA), all nickel(II) complexes exhibited good activity for ethylene oligomerization, and oligomer products ranged from butene (C4) to hexadecene (C16).

Nickel(II) complexes have attracted much attention as a new generation of olefin catalysts since the α-diiminonickel complex was discovered as a highly efficient procatalyst for ethylene polymerization. A series of novel 4-arylimino-1,2,3-trihydroacridylnickel(II) dihalide complexes was synthesized in a one-pot reaction of 2,3-dihydroacridine-4-one and different anilines with nickel(II) chloride or nickel(II) bromide 1,2-dimethoxyethane complex.

Project description:Interest is increasingly focused on the use of transition metal complexes as biochemical, medical, analytical, pharmaceutical, agronomic, anticancer, and antibacterial agents. In this study, three complexes of [Zn(H2L)Cl] (1), [Cu(H2L)(H2O)(NO3)] (2) and [Ni(H2L)(NO3)].2H2O (3) were synthesized from a 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde derived ligand [H3L = ((E)-2-(((2-((2-hydroxyethyl)amino)quinolin-3-yl)methylene)amino)ethanol. The compounds were characterized using physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The results demonstrate that the free ligand behaves as a tridentate ligand with one oxygen and two nitrogen (ONN) donor atoms in 1:1 metal:ligand ratio. The formation constants of the complexes were found to be (K Zn(II) = 2.3 × 106, K Cu(II) = 2.9 × 106, and K Ni(II) = 3.8 × 105). The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the reactions were spontaneous with exothermic nature of metal-ligand interaction energies. Based on the analyses of the experimental (EDX, FTIR, PXRD, MS and TGA) and DFT results, a distorted tetrahedral, a distorted square pyramidal and square planar geometry for Zn(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes, respectively, were proposed. The B3LYP calculated IR frequencies and TD-B3LYP calculated absorption spectra were found to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental results. The powder XRD data confirmed that the Zn(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes have polycrystalline nature with average crystallite sizes of 27.86, 33.54, 37.40 Å, respectively. In vitro antibacterial activity analyses of the complexes were studied with disk diffusion method, in which the complexes showed better activity than the precursor ligand. Particularly the Cu(II) complex showed higher percent activity index (62, 90%), than both Zn(II) (54, 82%) and Ni(II) (41, 68%) complexes against both E. coli and P. aeruginosa, respectively. Using the DPPH assay, the complexes were further assessed for their antioxidant capacities. All metal complexes showed improved antioxidant activity than the free ligand. Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes, which had IC50 values of 10.46 and 8.62 μg/ml, respectively, showed the best antioxidant activity. The calculated results of Lipinski's rule of five also showed that the target complexes have drug-like molecular nature and similarly, the results of binding mode of action of these compounds against E. coli DNA gyrase B and P. aeruginosa LasR.DNA were found to be in good agreement with the in vitro biological activities.

Project description:Metalation of the deprotonated dipyrrin (AdFL)Li with NiCl2(py)2 afforded the divalent Ni product (AdFL)NiCl(py)2 (1) (AdFL: 1,9-di(1-adamantyl)-5-perfluorophenyldipyrrin; py: pyridine). To generate a reactive synthon on which to explore oxidative group transfer, we used potassium graphite to reduce 1, affording the monovalent Ni synthon (AdFL)Ni(py) (2) and concomitant production of a stoichiometric equivalent of KCl and pyridine. Slow addition of mesityl- or 1-adamantylazide in benzene to 2 afforded the oxidized Ni complexes (AdFL)Ni(NMes) (3) and (AdFL)Ni(NAd) (4), respectively. Both 3 and 4 were characterized by multinuclear NMR, EPR, magnetometry, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, theoretical calculations, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies to provide a detailed electronic structure picture of the nitrenoid adducts. X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) on the Ni reveals higher energy Ni 1s → 3d transitions (3: 8333.2 eV; 4: 8333.4 eV) than NiI or unambiguous NiII analogues. N K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy performed on 3 and 4 reveals a common low-energy absorption present only for 3 and 4 (395.4 eV) that was assigned via TDDFT as an N 1s promotion into a predominantly N-localized, singly occupied orbital, akin to metal-supported iminyl complexes reported for iron. On the continuum of imido (i.e., NR2-) to iminyl (i.e., 2NR-) formulations, the complexes are best described as NiII-bound iminyl species given the N K-edge and TDDFT results. Given the open-shell configuration (S = 1/2) of the iminyl adducts, we then examined their propensity to undergo nitrenoid-group transfer to organic substrates. The adamantyl complex 4 readily consumes 1,4-cyclohexadiene (CHD) via H-atom abstraction to afford the amide (AdFL)Ni(NHAd) (5), whereas no reaction was observed upon treatment of the mesityl variant 3 with excess amount of CHD over 3 hours. Toluene can be functionalized by 4 at room temperature, exclusively affording the N-1-adamantyl-benzylidene (6). Slow addition of the organoazide substrate (4-azidobutyl)benzene (7) with 2 exclusively forms 4-phenylbutanenitrile (8) as opposed to an intramolecular cyclized pyrrolidine, resulting from facile β-H elimination outcompeting H-atom abstraction from the benzylic position, followed by rapid H2-elimination from the intermediate Ni hydride ketimide intermediate.
