Öğe A joint action of coordination, hydrogen and tetrel bonds toward a new 2D coordination polymer of lead(II) perchlorate and N'-isonicotinoylpyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide(Elsevier b.v., 2025) Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Garcia-Santos, Isabel; Safin, Damir A.; Fernández-Vazquez, Roi; Eftekhari-sis, Bagher; Gomila, Rosa M.; Frontera, AntonioA new 2D coordination polymer of lead(II) with N'-isonicotinoylpyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide (HL) was readily produced by reacting with an equimolar amount of Pb(ClO4)2 in aqueous methanol solution. The resulting metallocomplex was isolated in the form of yellow prism-like crystals of {[PbL](ClO4)center dot 0.4H2O}n, suitable for a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and was studied using FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The oxygen atoms of the ClO4- anion are disordered over two positions with an occupancy ratio of 60 % to 40 %. The minor occupancy is accompanied with the crystal water molecule, which, thus, yields 0.4 molecule per one [PbL](ClO4). Analysis of the crystal structure of the discussed complex allowed to reveal the formation of a dinuclear dimeric species [Pb2L2]2+ from the [PbL]+ cations through a pair of Pb center dot center dot center dot N tetrel bonds formed with the amide nitrogen atoms, which is further reinforced by a pair of pi center dot center dot center dot pi interactions formed between the pyrazine and pyridine rings. Three oxygen atoms from two perchlorate anions complete the coordination sphere (N4O4) of the metal cation, yielding an anionic {[PbL]2(ClO4)4}2- species, which is stabilized by a pair of N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, formed by one of the NH2 hydrogen atoms and one of the oxygen atoms of the major occupancy of an adjacent perchlorate anion. In the crystal packing, the cations [PbL]+ are linked through the Pb-N coordination bonds formed with the pyridine nitrogen atom, yielding a 1D cationic coordination polymers {[PbL]n}n+ of a zig-zag structure, which, in turn, are linked into a 2D coordination network. The topology of this 2D network disclosed a uninodal 3-connected net of fes with the point symbol of (4 center dot 82). 2D layers are stacked with each other int a 3D supramolecular framework, which voids are filled by the perchlorate anions and crystal water molecules. DFT calculations have been performed to characterize the Pb center dot center dot center dot N/O tetrel bonding interactions along with more conventional hydrogen bonding that are crucial in the generation of the coordination polymer and its final 3D architecture.Öğe A lead(II)-N′-isonicotinoylpyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide complex system as a converter of aerial carbon dioxide to carbonate under electrochemical conditions with the formation of a single-component white light-emitting phosphor(Royal society of chemistry, 2024) Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Garcia-Santos, Isabel; Labisbal, Elena; Castineiras, Alfonso; Alizadeh, Vali; Gomila, Rosa M.; Frontera, Antonio; Safin, Damir A.In this contribution, a novel binuclear heteroleptic complex [Pb2L2(CO3)]2CH(3)CN2MeOH (12CH(3)CN2MeOH) is reported, which was fabricated by electrochemical oxidation of a lead anode under an ambient atmosphere in a CH3CN : MeOH solution of N '-isonicotinoylpyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide (HL). The CO32- anion was produced from the conversion of aerial CO2 by the Pb2+-L complex system under electrochemical conditions. In the structure of 1, ligand L exhibits a tridentate pincer-like N,N ',O-coordination mode, while the CO32- anion exhibits a tetradentate bridging coordination mode with one of the oxygen atoms exhibiting a bridging mu-coordination mode. The metal cations in the structure of 1 are in a five-membered N2O3 coordination environment, formed by covalent bonds. The molecular structure of 12CH(3)CN2MeOH is stabilized by a pair of intermolecular Pb & ctdot;N tetrel bonds formed with one of the NH2 nitrogen atoms of an adjacent complex molecule and with the acetonitrile nitrogen atom, and one Pb & ctdot;O tetrel bond formed with the carbonyl oxygen atom of the other adjacent complex molecule, yielding a 2D supramolecular sheet. This sheet is further stabilized by intermolecular N-H & ctdot;N-acetonitrile and N-H & ctdot;O-carbonate hydrogen bonds and pi(Pyrazine)& ctdot;pi(Pyridine) interactions. The optical properties of the complex were revealed by UV-vis spectroscopy and spectrofluorimetry in MeOH. It was established that the described complex is emissive upon excitation at 340 nm with a broad band from about 500 nm to 780 nm with a maximum at similar to 580 nm, accompanied by a shoulder at similar to 620 nm. The CIE-1931 chromaticity coordinates of (0.28, 0.36) fall within the white gamut of the chromaticity diagram. Thus, complex 1 is a single-component white light-emitting phosphor.Öğe A Nanosized Porous Supramolecular Lead(II)-N′-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylene-N-phenylthiosemicarbazide Aggregate, Obtained Under Electrochemical Conditions(American Chemical Society, 2024) Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Garcia Santos, Isabel; Labisbal, Elena; Castineiras, Alfonso; Alizadeh, Vali; Gomila, Rosa M.; Frontera, Antonio; Safin, Damir A.A novel nanosized porous supramolecular nonanuclear complex [Pb9(HL)12Cl2(ClO4)](ClO4)3·15H2O·a(solvent) (1·15H2O·a(solvent)) is reported that was synthesized by electrochemical oxidation of a Pb anode under the ambient conditions in a CH3CN:MeOH solution of N′-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylene-N-phenylthiosemicarbazide (H2L), containing [N(CH3)4]ClO4 as a current carrier. The supramolecular aggregate of 1 is enforced by a myriad of Pb···S tetrel bonds (TtBs) established with the thiocarbonyl sulfur atoms of adjacent species, which have been also analyzed by DFT calculations via 2D maps of ELF, Laplacian and RDG properties. Moreover, Pb···Cl TtBs with the central Cl- anion, and Pb···O TtBs with the three oxygen atoms of the ClO4- anion, were revealed. Notably, the molecular structure of 1 differs significantly from that recently reported by us [Pb2(HL)2(CH3CN)(ClO4)2]·2H2O (2·2H2O), which was obtained using a conventional synthetic procedure by reacting Pb(ClO4)2 with H2L in the same CH3CN:MeOH solution, thus highlighting a crucial role of the electrochemical conditions. The optical characteristics of the complex were investigated using UV-vis spectroscopy and spectrofluorimetry in methanol. The complex was found to be emissive when excited at 304 nm, producing a broad emission band ranging from approximately 420 to 600 nm with multiple peaks. The CIE-1931 chromaticity coordinates, calculated as (0.33, 0.24), suggest that the emission lies in the white region of the chromaticity diagram. Further investigation is needed to fully characterize the origin of this emission. © 2024 The Authors.

In the crystalline state, molecules of 1 exhibited C–H···O intramolecular bonds and produced a 1D chain through N–H···N and C–H···N contacts. Chains produce a supramolecular 2D layer due to π···π interactions. In the UV–vis spectrum, 1 exhibits bands up to ∼360 nm and is emissive with a broad band from about 335 to 450 nm, with the maximum at 365 nm. Fine features of 1 were revealed using the density functional theory (DFT) calculations in water. The computed geometrical parameters are in accordance with the experimental values. The frontier electronic orbitals were found on the molecule except for the propyl fragment, and 1 was determined as a strong electrophile. The computed absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity (ADMET) features predicted positive gastrointestinal absorption (GA) activity and negative human blood-brain barrier (BBB) property of 1. Compound 1 in silico tested to inhibit some of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) proteins. Papain-like protease (PLpro) and Nonstructural protein 3 (Nsp3_range 207–379-MES) were established to interact with 1 more efficiently. The PLpro complex with 1 exhibits a ligand efficiency scores for a Hit. The present study also delved into elucidating the cytotoxic potential of compound 1 in Dalton's Lymphoma (DL) malignant cancer cell lines, aiming to explore its anticancer efficacy. Furthermore, this investigation extends its purview to scrutinize the cytotoxicity profile of the aforementioned compound on normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), thus enabling a comprehensive comparative analysis of cellular responses under both neoplastic and non-neoplastic cell lines. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.Öğe A novel, extreme simple modification of low-cost pencil graphite electrode (PGE) by single-walled carbon nanotube/pyrenebutyric acid (SWCNT/PBA) nanostructure for sensitive and selective detection of adrenaline(Springer, 2025) Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Hosseinifard, Mojtaba; Moghadam, Ahmad Jamali; Gargari, Masoumeh Servati; Alizadeh, ValiThe electrochemical carbon nanotube (CNT)-based sensors may provide an effective answer to the growing need for qualitative and quantitative determination of biomolecules. However employing CNTs as interface nanomaterials in various electrode matrices has been challenging for researchers. The most important issues are uniform dispersion of CNTs due to their agglomeration and their interfacial connection with electrode matrices. The superiority of this work lies in its ability to overcome these shortcomings by simple and rapid procedures while remaining negligible sensor surface fouling, but also provides high sensitive, inexpensive, and selective determination of AD molecule. Our work presents the non-covalent functionalization of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) by Pyrenebutyric Acid (PBA) through simple pi-stacking interaction for preserving their electronic structure and preventing their agglomeration in the dispersion step to develop a novel disposable sensor with many attractive analytical performance characteristics for Adrenaline (AD) determination. SWCNTs/PBA hybrid film on a low-cost PGE support have been developed involving soaking of greatly simplified solvent-treated GPE without any further pretreatment step into successfully dispersed SWCNTs/PBA in ethanol, which is a green solvent. The surface morphology of the SWCNTs/PBA nanostructured films were evaluated using Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), being correlated with the electrochemical characteristics observed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (ks) values 0.09, 0.15 and 0.40 s-1 were obtained for Bare PGE, PGE/SWCNT, and PGE/SWCNT/PBA electrodes, respectively. The obtained ks values have been shown that modification of SWCNTs with PBA improves the analytical properties of the sensor more than those obtained at bare PGE and SWCNTs/PGE due to synergistic effects. The analytical performance of SWCNTs/PBA/PGE was evaluated for AD oxidation in optimum pH 7.0 of phosphate buffer solution in the presence of an excess amount of interfering compounds by DPV technique. The fabricated sensor showed good response with high sensitivity, low detection limit (40 nM), wide linear range (0.25-9 mu M), and excellent reproducibility and repeatability. Also, the simultaneous analyses of AD and Uric Acid (UA) reveal that the fabricated sensor could separate the electrooxidation peaks of these two mixtures and good response with low detection limit (95nM) was also obtained for UA detection. The practical applicability of the fabricated sensor has been successfully tested for the determination of AD in human serum and injection ampoule samples with 98-110% recoveries.Öğe A pyrazinamide-benzenesulfonohydrazide hybrid N'-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide: Experimental and theoretical insights(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Alizadeh, Vali; Garcia Santos, Isabel; Castiñeiras, Alfonso; Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Safin, Damir AA pyrazinamide-benzenesulfonohydrazide hybrid N'-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide (1), which was studied by physical measurements and computational tools, is reported. Compound 1 was synthesized using a metallic Na-assisted interaction of 2-cyanopyrazine with benzenesulfonylhydrazine in dry methanol. Our newly developed synthetic approach allowed to obtain the title compound witht the yield of 74%, which is more than twice higher in comparison to the previously reported synthesis using pyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide and benzenesulfonyl chloride. Molecules of the title compound are linked via N–H⋯O, C–H⋯Ph, S=O⋯2-pyrazine and π⋯π interactions. As it was found by the Hirshfeld surface analysis, molecules of 1 interact through H⋯X (X = H, C, N and O) contacts. Electronic properties of 1 were revealed using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) computations. 1 was expected to be a fourth-class toxicity, and it does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier, while can potentially be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. It was predicted that compound 1, which demonstrated the strongest activity against PLpro, Nsp3_range 207–379 MES and Nsp16_SAM site, are of interest to suppress activity of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Although the Ki value is slightly higher, the ligand efficiency scores for complex PLpro–1 were found to be characteristic for a Hit. © 2024 Elsevier LtdÖğe Aerial carbon dioxide conversion to carbonate mediated by a lead(ii) complex with tridentate bipyridine containing a hydrazide ligand under electrochemical conditions yielding single-component white-light-emitting phosphors(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2024) Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Garcia Santos, Isabel; Labisbal, Elena; Castiñeiras, Alfonso; Alizadeh, Vali; Gomila, Rosa M.; Frontera, Antonio; Safin, Damir A.A novel tetranuclear complex [Pb4L4(CO3)2]·4H2O (1·4H2O) is reported, which was obtained through the electrochemical oxidation of a lead anode under an ambient atmosphere in a CH3CN : MeOH solution of N’-isonicotinoylpicolinohydrazonamide (HL). CO32− anions were formed through the conversion of aerial CO2via the Pb2+-L complex system under electrochemical conditions. The ligand L links two Pb2+ cations through the carbonyl oxygen atom, while the CO32− anion links two Pb2+ cations through two monodentate and one bidentate oxygen atoms. The molecular structure of 1 is stabilized by a pair of Pb⋯O tetrel bonds formed with the bidentate oxygen atom of the CO32− anion, while molecules of 1 are interlinked through reciprocal π(chelate ring)⋯π(chelate ring), π(chelate ring)⋯π(noncovalent ring) and Pb⋯π(noncovalent ring) interactions, yielding a 1D supramolecular chain. The same reaction but under a nitrogen atmosphere yielded a novel mononuclear complex [PbL2]·MeOH·2H2O (2·MeOH·2H2O). In the structure of 2, each ligand L exhibits a tridentate coordination mode. Molecules of 2 are also interlinked through reciprocal π(chelate ring)⋯π(chelate ring), π(chelate ring)⋯π(noncovalent ring) and Pb⋯π(noncovalent ring) interactions, similar to 1, yielding a 1D supramolecular chain. The energetic features of these assemblies were studied using DFT calculations. Additionally, QTAIM analysis was employed to characterize noncovalent contacts, including intermolecular Pb⋯N tetrel bonds. These tetrel bonds were further analyzed using the ELF and Laplacian of electron density 2D maps, which confirmed their noncovalent nature. The optical properties of the complexes were revealed using UV-vis and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and spectrofluorometry. Both complexes were found to be emissive in a solution of MeOH. CIE-1931 chromaticity coordinates of (0.38, 0.37) and (0.31, 0.32) for 1·4H2O and 2·MeOH·2H2O, respectively, fall within the white gamut of the chromaticity diagram. © 2024 The Royal Society of Chemistry.Öğe Anion driven tetrel bonding dictated supramolecular architectures of lead(ii) with a zwitterionic form of polydentate N′-(piperidine-1-carbonothioyl)picolinohydrazonamide(Royal society of chemistry, 2024) Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Garcia-Santos, Isabel; Castineiras, Alfonso; Fernandez-Vazquez, Roi; Gargari, Masoumeh Servati; Gomila, Rosa M.; Frontera, AntonioTwo novel supramolecular heteroleptic complexes [Pb2L2(NO3)(2)](n) (1) and {[Pb3L3](ClO4)(3)}(n)3.25nH(2)O (23.25nH(2)O), obtained from N '-(piperidine-1-carbonothioyl)picolinohydrazonamide (HL) and Pb(NO3)(2) or Pb(ClO4)(2) in aqueous methanol are reported. A crucial role of the auxiliary ligand (NO3- vs. ClO4-) was revealed as a driving force for the formation of the resulting architecture of complexes, which, in turn, are dictated by the formation of tetrel bonds. Complex 1 is constructed from heteroleptic dinuclear centrosymmetric species [Pb2L2(NO3)(2)], which, in turn, are formed from the heteroleptic mononuclear symmetry related [PbL(NO3)] units, linked through a pair of bonds formed between the metal cations and the thioamide nitrogen atoms. The metal cations form a weaker tetrel bond with the symmetry related nitrate atoms, yielding a 1D polymeric chain structure. These chains are interlinked through N-H & ctdot;O hydrogen bonds, formed between the covalently coordinated nitrate oxygen atom and the NH2 hydrogen atom, yielding a 2D supramolecular architecture. Complex 23.25nH(2)O is constructed from the trinuclear species [Pb3L3](ClO4)(3). The trinuclear cation is constructed from three [PbL](+) cations interlinked through two Pb-S and two Pb-N bonds, formed with the thiocarbonyl sulfur atoms and the amide nitrogen atoms. The cations [Pb3L3](3+) are interlinked through two Pb-N and two Pb-S bonds yielding a 1D supramolecular polymeric cationic chain {[Pb3L3](3+)}(n). The two metal cations corresponding to two [PbL](+) units, linked through a pair of the Pb-S bonds, are additionally bridged by two oxygen atoms of one of the perchlorate anions with the formation of two Pb & ctdot;O tetrel bonds. The coordination spheres of the metal cations are filled by one of the oxygen atoms of two different perchlorate anions with the formation of tetrel bonds. One of these perchlorates also forms the N-H & ctdot;O hydrogen bond within the trinuclear unit [Pb3L3](ClO4)(3). 1D supramolecular chains {[Pb3L3](3+)}(n) are interlinked through a myriad of hydrogen bonds formed by the perchlorate anions and crystallized water molecules. The tetrel bonds involving the counterions (Pb & ctdot;O) have been also analysed by DFT calculations via a MEP surface plot and 2D maps of electron localization function (ELF), Laplacian of electron density (del(2)rho) and reduced density gradient (RDG), confirming their noncovalent nature.Öğe Different topology of mixed valence CoIICoIII complexes with SCN anions and hydrazone–pyridine-based ligands(Springer, 2024) Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Novikov, Alexander S.; Balić, Tomislav; Zangrando, Ennio; White, Jonathan M.; Eftekhari-Sis, BagherTwo novel mixed valence CoIICoIII complexes [Co4II(SCN)12(EtOH)2Co4III(L1)8] (1) and [CoII(SCN)2Co2III(L2)4]n (2) (HL1 = N’-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)nicotinohydrazide and HL2 = N’-(phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)isonicotinohydrazide) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by the single crystal X-ray crystallography. In both cases, the deprotonated ligands HL1 and HL2 behave as chelating species toward CoIII, further connecting CoII fragments through the nicotine pyridine donors. A different topology is observed in the solid state of these complexes, complex 1 being an octanuclear cyclic species, while 2 is a 1D coordination polymer. The DFT calculations followed by the topological analysis of the electron density distribution have shown the existence of interesting non-covalent S···π-system interactions in 1. The CSD database search for similar supramolecular motif involving NCS anion has shown that the number and strength of S···π interactions depend both on acidity of metal cation and number aromatic systems in the molecular structure of ligand. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.Öğe Discrete versus polymeric structures of coordination compounds of copper (II) with (pyridin-2-yl)methylenenicotinohydrazide and a library of dicarboxylic acids(ELSEVIER, 05.10.2024) Benito, Monica; Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Molins, Elies; Zangrando, Ennio; Gargari, Masoumeh Servati; Frontera, Antonio; Safin, Damir A.A series of copper(II) discrete and polymeric coordination compounds, namely [{CuL(H2O)}(2)(fum)] (1), [{CuL(H2O)}(2)(mes)] (2), [Cu2L2(glu)](n)2n(H2O) (32n(H2O)) and [Cu3L2(adi)(2)](n) (4) were fabricated from (pyridin-2-yl)methylenenicotinohydrazide (HL) and a library of dicarboxylic acids, namely fumaric acid (H(2)fum), mesaconic acid (H(2)mes), glutaric acid (H(2)glu) and adipic acid (H(2)adi), using evaporative crystallization, grinding and slurry synthesis methods. The obtained coordination compounds have been fully characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction revealing different types of complexes depending on the linker length, viz. from dinuclear complexes for the shorter linkers (fumaric and mesaconic acids) to 1D and 2D coordination polymers for longer glutaric and adipic acids. Thermal stability and spectroscopic features (FTIR and diffuse reflectance) of complexes were also studied. For the nonpolymeric compounds 1 and 2, the supramolecular assemblies driven by a combination of antiparallel pi-stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions have been studied and compared using DFT calculations, MEP surface analysis and a combination of QTAIM and NCIplot computational tools.Öğe Exploring coinage bonding interactions in [Au(CN)4]− assemblies with silver and zinc complexes: a structural and theoretical study(Royal society of chemistry, 2025) Giordana, Alessia; Priola, Emanuele; Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Doustkhah, Esmail; Gomila, Rosa M.; Zangrando, Ennio; Diana, Eliano; Operti, Lorenza; Frontera, AntonioThis study investigates the non-covalent interactions between [Au(CN)4]- anions and silver and zinc complexes, with a particular focus on coinage bonding interactions. Four new complexes, [Ag2(pyNP)2][Au(CN)4]2 (1) [Zn(bipy)3][Au(CN)4]2 (2), [Zn(phen)3][Au(CN)4]2 (3) and [Zn(terpy)(H2O)3][Au(CN)4]2 (4), were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized, including their X-ray solid-state structures, where pyNP is (2-(2-pyridyl)-1,8-naphthyridine, bipy is 2,2 ' bipyridine, phen is 1,10 '-phenantroline and terpy is terpyridine. The [Au(CN)4]- anion exhibits unique anion & ctdot;anion interactions, despite the electrostatic repulsion, forming stable 1D supramolecular polymers in the solid state. Using a combination of X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations, this work characterizes the coordination and non-covalent bonding modes, including Au & ctdot;N coinage bonds. Energy decomposition analysis (EDA), QTAIM, and NCIplot methods were applied to understand the energetics and bonding nature. The study reveals that electrostatic and dispersion forces play critical roles in stabilizing these assemblies, especially in the formation of pi-stacking and T-shaped dimers.

The SnO/CSO photocatalytic materials were fabricated through a single-step hydrothermal method and comprehensively characterized using a muti-technique approach to demonstrate the physicochemical, morphological, and electronic features. According to the photocatalytic experiments, the SnO/CSO could remove >96% of acid blue 92 (AB92) azo dye under optimum conditions , with rate constant 2.37 x 10(-2) min(-1). Furthermore, the photocatalyst significantly outperformed commercial TiO2 (P25), in reducing CO2 to CO and CH4 with a production rate of 10.8 and 1.18 mu mol.g(-1).h(-1), respectively, under visible light irradiation. The successful direct alkylation of amines to valuable organic compounds within 10 min of the reaction time with a conversion selectivity of >90% was another capability of the materials, making it a good candidate for pharmaceutical synthesis purposes.Öğe Mononuclear complexes of dysprosium(iii) with 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(isonicotinoylhydrazone): synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic properties(Royal society of chemistry, 2025) Kopotkov, Vyacheslav A.; Zorina, Leokadiya V.; Simonov, Sergey V.; Korchagin, Denis V.; Zhidkov, Mikhail V.; Dmitriev, Alexei I.; Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Yagubskii, Eduard B.Four discrete mononuclear Dy(iii) coordination compounds with the pentadentate N3O2 equatorial ligand 2,6-diacetylpyridine-bis(isonicotinoylhydrazone) (H2dapin) in different charge states, containing the strong-field ligands Ph3PO and Cy3PO at the apical positions, have been synthesized: [Dy(H2dapin)(Ph3PO)3](CF3SO4)3 (1), [Dy(Hdapin)(Ph3PO)3](ClO4)2C2H5OH1.9H2O (2), [Dy(Hdapin)(Cy3PO)2](CF3SO3)2 (3) and [Dy(Hdapin)(Cy3PO)2] [Dy(dapin)(Cy3PO)2](CF3SO3)3 (4). The crystal structures of the complexes and DC and AC magnetic properties of 1 and 3 have been investigated. Complexes 1 and 2 with triphenylphosphinoxide apical ligands are eight-coordinated, whereas 3 and 4 with bulkier tricyclohexylphosphinoxide ligands are rare seven-coordinated Dy(iii) complexes. The pyridine-substituted pentadentate N3O2 ligand exhibits variability in composition and charge: neutral doubly-protonated H2dapin in complex 1, monodeprotonated negatively charged Hdapin- in 2 and 3, and monodeprotonated Hdapin- and fully deprotonated dapin2- in 4. The proton at one of the hydrazide groups of the H2dapin ligand in 1 is transferred to the terminal pyridine N atom. The resulting neutral H2dapin ligand adopts a zwitterionic form with 1- charge localized on the enolate O atom of the deprotonated part and 1+ charge on the N atom of the protonated pyridine. The proton transfer to the pyridyl N-atom is observed in all Hdapin- ligands in 2-4. According to SHAPE analysis, complexes 1 and 3 have significantly different local symmetries - low D2d (highly distorted 8-vertex triangular dodecahedron) and high D5h (7-vertex pentagonal bipyramid), respectively. In contrast to 1, complex 3 is a single-ion magnet and shows slow magnetic relaxation. The experimental study of the magnetic properties was complemented by theoretical analysis based on ab initio calculations.Öğe Novel benzoyl and acetyl pyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide hybrid derivatives: Experimental and theoretical insights(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Garcia Santos, Isabel; Castiñeiras, Alfonso; Servati Gargari, Masoumeh; Frontera, Antonio; Safin, Damir A.A series of novel benzoyl and acetyl pyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide hybrid derivatives, namely N’-benzoylpyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide (1), N’-(4-methylbenzoyl)pyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide (2), N’-(2-phenylacetyl)pyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide (3) and N’-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetyl)pyrazine-2-carbohydrazonamide (4), were readily obtained using a metallic Na-assisted interaction of 2-cyanopyrazine with benzohydrazide, 4-methylbenzohydrazide, 2-phenylacetohydrazide or 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetohydrazide in dry MeOH. Compounds 1–4 were studied by a set of physical measurements, including FTIR, 1H NMR and UV–vis spectroscopy, while their crystal structures were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the corresponding crystal packing was further studied in detail using the Hirshfeld surface analysis. Compounds 3 and 4 were found to adopt both the E- and Z-isomeric forms in DMSO‑d6. Molecules of the title compounds are linked via N[sbnd]H⋯O and N[sbnd]H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π⋯π interactions, yielding supramolecular aggregates. As it was found by the Hirshfeld surface analysis, molecules of 1–4 mainly interact through the H⋯X (X = H, C, N and O) and C⋯X (X = C and N) contacts. The molecular interactions were quantified and compared using DFT calculations, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) analysis and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis, highlighting the dominant role of hydrogen bonding interactions in governing the crystal packing. © 2024 The Author(s)Öğe Structural and theoretical insights into the influence of thiocyanate ligands on divalent metal complexes with terpyridine derivatives(Elsevier B.V., 2025) Bogdał, Weronika; Jurowska, Anna; Hodorowicz, Maciej; Szklarzewicz, Janusz; Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Doustkhah, Esmail; Zangrando, Ennio; Frontera, AntonioFour complexes with terpyridine derivative, thiocyanate anion, and selected d-electron metals were studied. The obtained complexes of the formulation [M(ftpy)(SCN)2(CH3OH)]•DMF (M = Mn (1), Co (2), Ni (3)) and [Cu(ftpy)(NCS)2]•H2O (4), where ftpy = 4′‐(furan-2-yl)-2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine, were characterized using FTIR and UV–Vis spectroscopies, magnetic studies, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. All compounds crystallize in a triclinic crystal system with space group P1¯ and 1–3 are isomorphous and isostructural. The effect of the modification of the terpyridine ligand and the presence of the thiocyanate ligand on the structure has been verified. Interesting dependence was found in the structure of compound 4, where the two thiocyanate ligands are differently coordinated, one via N and the other via S, and the formation of complex dimers connected through hydrogen bonds is observed. The π-stacking interactions and the resulting solid-state architectures of compounds 1–4 were inspected through a combination of DFT calculations, QTAIM, and NCIPlot analyses, and the stability of the complexes was studied by UV–Vis spectroscopy in various solvents. © 2024 The Author(s)Öğe Structural diversity and tetrel bonding significance in lead(ii) complexes with pyrazoylisonicotinoylhydrazone and varied anionic co-ligands(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2024) Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Garcia-Santos, Isabel; Fernandez-Vazquez, Roi; Gomila, Rosa M.; Castineiras, Alfonso; Doustkhah, Esmail; Zangrando, EnnioFour lead(ii) complexes featuring pyrazoylisonicotinoylhydrazone ligand paired with various anionic co-ligands (azido, thiocyanato, nitrito, and nitrato) were synthesized and thoroughly examined using structural, analytical, and spectroscopic techniques. These ligands, in their mono-deprotonated state, bind to the lead(ii) ion in a tridentate manner through two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Single-crystal X-ray crystallography revealed the capacity of these molecular complexes to form larger aggregates influenced by the nature of the anion attached to the metal center. In every complex, the lead atom adopts a hemidirectional coordination environment, making it geometrically suited for tetrel bond formation. The crystal structures demonstrate that lead atoms engage in notably short interactions with nitrogen atoms, distances that are shorter than the sum of their van der Waals radii yet exceed the sum of their covalent radii. These tetrel bonds play a pivotal role in weaving the monomeric into self-assembled dimers or extended supramolecular 1D polymers. The formation and characteristics of these intriguing supramolecular structures observed in the solid state of each complex were further explored and validated through density functional theory (DFT) calculations and several computational tools like MEP, NCIPlot, QTAIM, and ELF methods.Öğe Supramolecular assemblies of Zn(II) complex based on dithiolate-amine binary ligands: Synthesis, crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface, DFT, molecular docking, and anticancer studies(Elsevier, 2024) Bhattacharjee, Tirtha; Nath, Sourav; Baildya, Nabajyoti; Das, Alakesh; Pathak, Surajit; Molins, Elies; Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Verma, Akalesh Kumar; Borah, Pranab; Adhikari, SumanIn this article, synthesis of the novel zinc(II) complex [Zn(tren)(i-mnt)] from diethylenetriamine (tren) and 1,1dicyano-2,2-ethylenedithiolate di-potassium salt (K2i-mnt) has been presented and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The trigonal bipyramidal geometry of [Zn(tren)(i-mnt)] in solid state has been confirmed by Xray diffraction analysis where stacked assembly of parallel chains interlinked by N-H & ctdot;S, N-H & ctdot;N, and C-H & ctdot;N type hydrogen bonds observed in 3D supramolecular packing. Hirshfeld Surface (HS) optimizations show prominent N & ctdot;H/H & ctdot;N (32%), S & ctdot;H/H & ctdot;S (21%), and C & ctdot;H/H & ctdot;C (18.5%) interactions that well corroborate with X-ray data. Moreover, Density Functional Theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31 g(d) and LMKLL/DZDP basis sets have been used to ascertain geometry and long-range interactions in the complex. In addition, DNA-binding analysis has been assessed by inspecting its binding capability to calf-thymus DNA (CT DNA) and cytotoxic effects of the complex, and K2i-mnt were investigated against Dalton's Lymphoma (DL) malignant cancer cells to assess their anticancer activity. The molecular docking study shows that the complex has a better binding affinity for 3DK8 (Protein Data Bank ID), leading to a higher inhibition constant and interactions.Öğe Synthesis and characterization of a series of lead complexes with (pyrazinyl)benzohydrazone ligand and theoretical studies of their supramolecular dimerization in solid state(Elsevier b.v., 2025) Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Garcia-Santos, Isabel; Novikov, Alexander S.; Kornilov, Dmitry A.; Fernández-Vazquez, Roi; Castiñeiras, Alfonso; Zangrando, EnnioWe have synthesized a series of lead complexes with pyrazinyl-4-methylbenzoylhydrazone (HPyz) and different anions as ancillary ligands, namely [Pb(HPyz)Cl2] (1), [Pb(Pyz)(NO2)] (2), [Pb(Pyz)(NO3)(H2O)] (3), [Pb(Pyz) (NO2)0.5(NO3)0.5(H2O)] (4), and [Pb(Pyz)(SCN)(H2O)] (5). These complexes have been characterized by 1H NMR, IR, and X-ray diffraction techniques. All the complexes show a comparable coordination mode of the organic ligand while the supramolecular crystal structure is addressed by the anions and coordinated water molecules when present. In fact, the solid state is characterized by it-stacking interactions between pyrazine and phenyl rings. In particular, inspection of X-ray data reveals dimerization of centrosymmetric related species of these lead complexes via various noncovalent interactions. To assess the nature of these intermolecular interactions, the Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT calculations, followed by topological analysis of the electron density distribution within the QTAIM approach and NCI analysis, have been carried out for the model structures based on the experimental X-ray diffraction analysis data. The Hirshfeld surface analysis for the X-ray structures reveals that in all cases crystal packing is determined primarily by intermolecular contacts involving hydrogen atoms. The QTAIM analysis of model structures demonstrates the presence of bond critical points for various intermolecular interactions responsible for the supramolecular dimerization of the studied lead complexes in solid state.Öğe Versatile copper(ii) discrete and polymeric coordination compounds with (pyridine-2-yl)methylenenicotinohydrazide and azelaic acid(Royal society of chemistry, 2024) Benito, Mónica; Mahmoudi, Ghodrat; Molins, Elies; Zangrando, Ennio; Servati Gargari, Masoumeh; Gomila, Rosa M.; Frontera, Antonio; Safin, Damir A.In this contribution, a series of copper(ii) discrete and polymeric coordination compounds, namely [Cu3L2(aze)2]nnH2O (1nH2O), [CuL2]H2O (2H2O) and [CuL(H2O)(Haze)]H2O (3H2O) were fabricated from (pyridin-2-yl)methylenenicotinohydrazide (HL) and azelaic acid (H2aze), using evaporative crystallization, grinding and slurry synthesis methods. The solvent crystallization method produced a crystalline precipitate of complex 1nH2O. The filtrate allowed the production of crystals of complex 3H2O. The grinding synthetic method gave rise to a mixture of complexes 1nH2O, 2H2O and an undetermined phase. Results of the slurry synthetic approach highly depend on the stirring time. The obtained coordination compounds have been fully characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction revealing different structures of complexes, viz. from mononuclear homo- and heteroleptic complexes (2 and 3) to a 1D heteroleptic coordination polymer (1). DFT calculations on non-polymeric complexes were conducted to evaluate the hydrogen-bonding and pi-stacking interactions that play a critical role in the solid-state structures of complexes 2 and 3. Additionally, the impact of co-crystallized water molecules, which enhance the pi-stacking interactions, was analyzed using energy decomposition analysis.
