Abstract

The (Hea)[B(ph)2(2,3-pydc)] (1) and (Hea)[B(ph)2(2,5-pydc)] (2) boron compounds (2,3-H2pydc = 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 2,5-H2pydc = 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, Hea = ethanolammonium) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic measurements (UV–Vis, 11B NMR, 13C NMR, 1H NMR and IR spectra) and single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Compound 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The crystal packing of compound 1 is stabilized through strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding and C–H⋯π interactions, resulting in a 3D framework. The individual molecules of 2 are connected by the N–H⋯O and O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds leading to two-dimensional hydrogen bonded layer. The in vitro antibacterial and anticandidal activities of (1) and (2) were evaluated by disc diffusion method and MIC tests. Both new complexes showed antimicrobial activity against MRSA and clinical and standard yeast isolates.

Introduction

The chemistry of elemental boron, its compounds and crystalline phases based on them is currently a vast and quite complicated scientific field at the boundary of inorganic and organo-element chemistry. Boron compounds are successfully used in various areas of materials science, in catalysis, surface chemistry, inorganic and organic synthesis, biochemistry, agriculture, medicine, forestry and OLEDs [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. The synthesis of boron derivatives of biomolecules such as amino acids, peptides, nucleosides, porphyrins and sugars is a major area of research [8]. For the past decade chemists have been interested in the synthesis and characterization of five- and six-membered boron compounds with a coordinative N  B bond. Also such boron compounds have been prepared from pyridinedicarboxylic acids [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. These acids can act as both a multiple proton donor and an acceptor while also using their carboxylate oxygen and nitrogen atoms, which are highly accessible to metal ions, to form interesting network structures [14], [15]. Pyridinedicarboxylic acids have widely been used as organic ligands for the construction of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, which have been of great interest in recent years [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22]. These types of ligands combine the advantages of both organic multi-carboxylic acid and aromatic compounds. 2,3- and 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acids with divergent function groups, which possibly form bridging hydrogen bonds, are interesting and have potential for self-assembly. In addition, the carboxylic groups in position 5 of the pyridine ring may be prone to involvement in hydrogen bonds [23], [24]. Organic boron compounds can be studied by multinuclear NMR techniques. Particularly, 11B NMR provides valuable structural information due to its sensitivity to electronic and steric effects as well as to the boron coordination number. The structures of several new compounds have been determined by X-ray diffraction analyses [25].

Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity of two novel boron compounds, using 2,3- and 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acids involving coordinative N  B bonds.

Materials and measurements

All chemicals and solvents used for the syntheses were of reagent grade. The synthesis of diphenylborinic acid was carried out under an atmosphere of dry argon by using standard Schlenk techniques. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded with Varian AS 400. 11B NMR spectra were recorded with a Varian AS 600 spectrometer. NMR references were (CH3)4Si and BF3·Et2O. 2,3-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid and 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (Aldrich) were used as received. Elemental analysis (C, H, and N) was

NMR spectra

The treatment of 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate whit methanol at −78 °C probably led to the formation of methyl diphenylborinate and ethanolamine, causing a transesterification reaction of a carboxylic acid group (2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid) with boron (methyl diphenylborinate) to take place [10], resulting in the formation of a boron compound. During formation of the boron compound and ethanolamine an acid–base reaction occurred between the other carboxylic acid group of the boron compound

      Instead, it has been observed that AN affect significantly the fluorescence of different types of proteins, leading to an important quenching of the protein fluorescence (Condurache et al., 2020). The ability of bidentate ligands having oxygen or oxygen and nitrogen, such as β-ketoenols (Bally et al., 1965), rutin (Matteini et al., 2011) α-amino acid (Başeren et al., 2018; Velasco-Bejarano et al., 2007), pyridylalkyl alcohols (Murai et al., 2013), and pyridinecarboxylic acids (Çolak et al., 2012) to coordinate to diphenylborinic ester derivatives is well documented in literature.

      The band observed at 1611 cm−1 was attributed to the C=C/C–C and C–N/C=N stretching vibrations of the pyridine ring [29–31]. The band at approximately 1553 cm−1 may be ascribed to the C=C, C=N and asymmetric COO− stretching vibrations in the PDCA unit [32,33]. The band observed at 1450 cm−1 can be assigned to the O–H in-plane bending vibrations in the PDCA unit [34] and/or the symmetric COO− vibration [28].
