Thesis Abstract
The divalent metal chelates of Mg,Co,Cu and Zn with 4-acetyl (hpmap), 4-
benzoyl(hpmbp),4-butyryl(hpmbup),4-capyroyl(hpmcp),4-propiony
(hpmprp) and 4-palmitoyl(hpmpp) derivatives of 1-phenyl -3-methyl
pyrazol-5-one have been synthesized and characterized by UV ,IR, and
conductivity measurements. It is shown that the ligands behaved like
bidentate enols, all forming neutral chelates with the metal ions , bonding
through oxygen of the enolic hydroxyl group and /or the oxygen atom of
the carbonyl group of the ligands keto-enol tautomer. The i.r spectra of the
ligands and their chelates have been measured between 4000cm-1 and
400cm-1and assignments proposed for observed frequencies. The effect of 4-
acyl substituents on the carbonyl stretching frequencies of the complexes
was also investigated and the results showed that there was an increase in the
carbonyl stretching frequency bands as the length of the alkyl substituent
increased for magnesium (II),cobalt(II) and copper (II) chelates and the
reverse trend was observed for zinc (II) chelates.The infrared carbonyl and
metal oxygen stretching frequencies of the transition metal chelates were
also compared with the Irving and Williams stability order for transition
metal complexes(Cu > Ni >Co >Mn >Zn) and it was observed that the
magnitude of the M-O stretching frequencies followed closely the Irving
Williams stability order while the C=O stretching frequencies did not. This
+has been attributed to electronic and steric effects.
Thesis Overview
<p>
1.0 INTRODUCTION<br>There has been a lot of interest in the chemistry and stereochemistry of metal<br>complexes in recent years because of its growing applications in both biological and chemical<br>processes. The chemistry of these groups of compounds was first proposed in 18931 by a<br>Swiss chemist, Alfred Werner who used his coordination theory of primary and secondary<br>valences to account for the phenomenon by which apparently all stable saturated molecules<br>combine to form molecular complexes.2,3 Werner showed that the properties of many<br>complexes formed by various transition metals could be explained by the postulate that the<br>metal atoms have a ligancy of six or four, with the attached groups arranged about the central<br>atom at the corners of a circumscribed regular octahedron or tetrahedron.4 Almost every<br>kind of metal atom can serve as a central atom in a complex , although some metals like the<br>transition metals do so more readily than others.5 When a metal atom coordinates with two or<br>more donor groups of a single ligand called the chelating agent , a chelate is formed. One of<br>the significant features of these chelating agents is that whereas complex formation may<br>involve more than one intermediate step, Chelation is a one step process. 6,7<br>Since Urbain,s work on the structure and reactivity of β-diketones in 1896,8 these<br>groups of chelating agents have been of utmost importance to chemist and research workers<br>alike. These β-diketones are ligands bearing two carbonyl groups separated by a methylene<br>group. The intervening methylene group bears an active hydrogen atom.9. The acidity of the<br>hydrogen atom is caused by the electron withdrawing powers of the two carbonyl groups that<br>flank them. Owning to electronic and field effects , the hydrogen atoms are capable of<br>migrating to any of the carbonyl groups giving rise to tautomers.10<br>1-phenyl -3-methyl -4-acyl pyrazolone , a typical β-diketone whose synthesis was first<br>described by Jensen, 11,12 has gained considerable popularity in recent years.13-15 The<br>16<br>structural features of these keto-enol tautomerides attracted the attention of research workers<br>like Okafor 16-19 and Uzokwu 20-22 who synthesized and characterized a good number of their<br>metal Chelates. Research into these group of β-diketones has been stimulated by their<br>potential application in the extraction of metal ions from acid solutions. 23-24 Some other<br>workers have used the 4-chloroacetyl and 4-triflouroacetyl derivatives of this ligand for the<br>spectrophotometric determination and extraction of trace elements from aqueous solution.<br>Mirza and others synthesized the benzoyl derivative of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-acyl- Pyrazolone<br>and used it in the extraction and separation of thorium from titanium, uranium and the rare<br>earths,27 while Hassany and Quereshi reported the extraction of group IB, IIB and III- IVA<br>elements using the 4-trichloroacetyl derivative of the pyrazolone moeity. Okafor 16,19,28 has<br>equally used the triflouro derivative in the isolation of a good number of metal chelates.<br>Apart from the application of these groups of compounds in qualitative and<br>quantitative analysis , 4-acyl pyrazolones have found application in medicine, as strong active<br>ingredients in analgesic 29-30 and in chromatography for the construction of mixed ligand<br>resins for trapping toxic metals.30 The antipyrene and some other derivatives have been found<br>to exhibit some biological and pharmacological properties.25,29,31 They have equally found<br>use in antihistamines, antipyretines, antirhematics and antiinflamatory drugs.32-33 Some<br>derivatives of this compound containing azo groups have also been used as antifungal and<br>antiparasitic agents. Recently, several pyridoxine and pyrollo- pyrazole derivatives of the<br>pyrazole moiety have been synthesized and reported to be useful as inhibitors of<br>phosphodiestrate(iv) and tumour narcosis factor.35-38 They have also been applied in the<br>treatment of asthma, arthritis and septic shock.35 The acyl hydrazine compounds of<br>pyrazolone have been found to serve as inhibitors for many enzymes and an excellent<br>component of many chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of cancer.39 Some other<br>derivatives have been used as corrosion inhibitors for steel in hydrochloric acid solution.40<br>To date, a lot of research work has appeared in literature on the structure, reactivity and<br>17<br>spectral properties of 4-acyl pyrazolones and their derivatives11-40. This project investigates<br>the effect of the 4-acyl substituents on the carbonyl and metal-oxygen stretching frequencies<br>of some 4-acyl pyrazolones and their Mg(II) ,Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) chelates.<br>18
