It is found that only the later reacts with the carbonyl compounds to form Schiff bases, while the former remains inert. The reasons behind this difference in reactivity are analyzed on the basis of semi-empirical calculations, which show that the lone pair of the ring −NH2 is considerably delocalized over the ring, resulting in an accumulation of a positive charge on this particular nitrogen. Ni(II) complex of 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(anthraniloyl hydrazone) has been prepared and characterized by various physico-chemical methods. The structure of the complex was determined by X-ray crystallography. It was found that in the solid state, the compound exist as a dimer, and two coordinated ligand moieties form a double helix around the two metal ions. H-bonding then results in extension of double helix to an infinite chain.

Here we report a new Fe(III) complex, [Fe(HBala-pydx)(Bala-pydx)] (H2Bala-pydx is the Schiff base of pyridoxal with beta-alanine), which can serve as a sensitive and selective turn-on fluorescent sensor for the detection of cyanide(CN-) in micromolar concentrations (L.O.D. is 1.134 µM), via the ligand displacement approach, in aqueous-acetonitrile medium. The Fe(III) complex is adequately characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods along with X-ray crystal structure determination.

Complex 1 adopts an octahedral geometry around the central manganese atom which is in +3 oxidation state, whereas in complex 2, the Cu +2 ion preferred a square pyramidal environment around it through the ligand donor atoms. Both complexes were tested for catecholase and phenoxazinone synthase activity. Complex 1 catalyzes the oxidation of 3,5ditertiary-butyl catechol with a k cat value of 6.8424×10 2 h-1 in acetonitrile whereas the same for complex 2 is 3.7485×10 2 h-1 in methanol. Phenoxazinone synthase activity was shown only by complex 2 having k cat = 74.225 h-1. Structures of both the title complexes have been optimized by means of DFT calculations. Experimental electronic spectra of the complexes have been corroborated by TDDFT analysis. Electrochemical investigations by means of cyclic voltammetry have been carried out to study the electron transfer processes in the complexes.

The electronic spectra of all the complexes show significant bathochromic shift of their lowest energy Metal to Ligand Charge Transfer band position with respect to [Ru(bpy)3]2+. The position of the MLCT band is modulated by the nature of the coligand, the 2,6-bis(benzimidazolyl)pyridine ligand being present in all the complexes. The change in the RuIII/II potential is also explained on the basis of the σ/π donor characteristic of the ligands.

X-ray crystal structures of both complexes are also reported. In both complexes the pyridoxal nitrogen atoms remain protonated. In the solid state, the tetradentate Schiff base ligand is virtually planar in 1, while in 2 the ligand conformation is like an inverted umbrella. In cyclic voltammetry experiments it is found that in these complexes the Cu(III) and Cu(I) states are more easily accessible than in their salen type analogs. The pyridoxal Schiff base complexes are also found to be resistant to oxidative electro-polymerization, unlike their corresponding salicyl aldehyde Schiff base complexes.

Both complexes are paramagnetic and the solid-state structures of 1 and 2 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Analogous Fe and Co complexes of the tBu PNP (2,6-bis(di-tert-butyl-phosphinomethyl)pyridine) ligand (3 and 4, respectively) were prepared to allow comparison between the closely related pincer ligands in the hydrosilylation of carbonyl moieties. All four complexes were found to be catalytically active when treated with NaBEt 3 H, which was assumed to generate a metal-hydride species in-situ.
