Abstract

The trinuclear manganese(II) complexes, [MnII3(OAc)4(pap)2(H2O)2] and [MnII3(OAc)4(5-Cl-pap)2(MeOH)2] were prepared by the reaction of tridentate Schiff base ligands X-papH (X=H, Cl), [N-2-pyridiylmethylidene-2-hydroxy-5-substituted-phenylamine], and MnII(OAc)2·2H2O. In the molecular structures of these complexes, two terminal manganese ions are coordinated with one oxygen and two nitrogen atoms of X-pap, two oxygen atoms of OAc and a solvent molecule, to form a distorted octahedral structure where the central manganese ion resides on a center of symmetry and is surrounded by an O6 donor set of four oxygen atoms from four bridging OAc and two phenolic oxygen atoms of two X-pap ligands.

Introduction

The chemistry of manganese complexes is of interest as models for biological redox systems involving manganese ions, such as the oxygen-evolving center (OEC) of Photosystem II in green plants, superoxide dismutases (SOD) and Mn-catalases (CAT). In the past two decades, polynuclear manganese complexes have been extensively prepared and characterized as structural and functional models for the above manganese-containing systems [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].

Linear trinuclear manganese complexes bridged by acetato anions have been recently reported [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. In this paper, we describe the preparation and structures of trinuclear manganese(II) complexes obtained by the reactions of MnII(OAc)2·2H2O and tridentate Schiff base ligands papH and 5-Cl-papH (see Fig. 1), where papH and 5-Cl-papH denote [N-2-pyridiylmethylidene-2-hydroxy-phenylamine] and [N-2-pyridiylmethylidene-2-hydroxy-5-chloro-phenylamine], which were derived from pyridine-2-aldehyde and 2-amino-phenol and 2-amino-4-chloro-phenol, respectively.

Preparation of trinuclear manganese(II) complexes

The trinuclear manganese(II) complex, [MnII3(OAc)4(pap)2(H2O)2] (1) was prepared by the reaction of papH (0.298 g, 1 mmol) and MnII(OAc)2·2H2O (0.276 g, 1.5 mmol) in methanol (MeOH, 400 ml) with stirring at room temperature for 30 min. The resulting red solution was allowed to stand in the dark. After 12 h, the resulting red crystals were collected on a glass filter, and dried in vacuo. The yield was 75.6%. [MnII3(OAc)4(5-Cl-pap)2(MeOH)2] (2) was obtained by the same manner in 68.0% yield.

Structure of trinuclear manganese(II) complexes

Fig. 2, Fig. 3 show the molecular structures of trinuclear manganese(II) complexes [MnII3(OAc)4(pap)2(H2O)2] (1) and [MnII3(OAc)4(5-Cl-pap)2(MeOH)2] (2), respectively. For both trinuclear manganese(II) complexes, two terminal manganese ions are coordinated with one oxygen and two nitrogen atoms of pap, two oxygen atoms of OAc and one oxygen atom of water for 1 and MeOH for 2, respectively, to form a distorted octahedral structure. The central manganese ion resides on a center of symmetry and

    Thus, based on the docking analysis, all the compounds indicated potential apoptotic inducing ability due to their efficient interaction with antiapoptotic target proteins. In modern computational and medicinal chemistry, pharmacophore features are useful to identify the essential components of one or multiple molecules with the similar biological activity [70]. LigandScout automatically derives key chemical features, such as hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, hydrophobic, positive and negative ionizable, aromatic interactions along with their 3D-geometries of a bioactive molecule.

    In case of Mn(II) complex, there was no allowed d–d transitions. The UV–Vis spectrum displayed a strong absorption band at 22,522 cm−1, which could be ascribed to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) transition [35]. Furthermore the magnetic moment value is found to be 5.21 BM.

    Recently, several mixed-valence polynuclear manganese complexes [13–26] have been reported as potential bio-mimetic models for the active site of water oxidizing complexes. Many of these complexes in particular tetra [13–19] and trinuclear [20–24] systems display some geometrical similarities with the crystal structure obtained for the active site of PSII [7–9]. Apart from the bioinorganic aspects, mixed-valent manganese complexes often show SMM behavior, i.e. behaving as a magnet at low temperature [27–29].
