Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) has been used to investigate the adsorption capability and the surface interacting ability towards Cu(II) solutions (CuCl2, Cu(NO3)2, CuSO4 in water or ethanol) of various carbon blacks, both graphitized and ungraphitized, selected on the basis of the surface area, namely, Carbograph1 (area = 100 m2/g), Carbograph4 (area = 210 m2/g), and Carbograph5 (area = 560 m2/g), which were indicated as C1g, C4g, C5g (g = graphitized), and C1ng, C4ng, C5ng (ng = ungraphitized). The EPR analysis was supported by surface analysis, for evaluating the surface area, the pore volume and the porosity, and by atomic absorption to obtain the adsorbed Cu(II) amounts. Graphitization provokes a decrease in surface area, but C1g, at low surface area, showed a unexpected increase of the adsorption ability ascribed to the formation of new surface porosity closed by graphite layers. The carbon samples showed a broad unresolved EPR signal due to mobile unpaired electrons in the carbon matrix. Graphitized samples presented a narrower signal than ungraphitized samples, which increases in width with the increase in surface area (with the exception of C5ng due to the high exposition of the wide surface to oxydizing external agents) and upon prolonged thermal treatment. The signal intensity of the carbon paramagnetic centers decreases upon Cu(II) adsorption. Computer aided analysis of the EPR spectra of the solids after Cu(II) adsorption allowed to extract structural information on the Cu-surface site complexes. The Cu2+ ions coordinated with surface polar sites, mainly oxygenated. Adsorption depends on the different Cu(II) salts, caused by the salt solubility and the interacting ability of the counter-ion. In several cases the solutions concentrated in the carbon porosity leading to precipitation of the salt. Ethanol solutions are more adsorbed at the carbon surface than water solutions; Cu(II) partially retains its solvation shell and partially presents electron transfer to the carbon surface. Adsorption is favored to ungraphitized carbons with respect to the graphitized ones due to both the higher surface area, and the higher hydrophilicity of the surface. In summary, these carbon powders, widely used for chromatographic applications, show an adsorption capability towards Cu(II) solutions higher than expected due to both a definite porosity, and the presence of polar groups which are not eliminated with chemical surface treatments.

Photolysis of the ternary system consisting of diethyldithiocarbamate (Et2dtc), diethyldiselenocarbamate (Et2dsc) and copper(II) (1:1:1) has been studied in isobutylmethylketone (IBMK), toluene, chloromethane and chloromethane/ROH solutions (chloromethane = CCl4, CHCl3 or CH2Cl2 and ROH = EtOH or i-PrOH). The results obtained by EPR techniques and UV-Vis data indicate that a homolytic Cu-S bond cleavage involving the dithiocarbamate (dtc) ligand appears as the primary photo-process in Cu(Et2dtc)(Et2dsc) photolysis. Further conversion of the primary photoproduct Cu(I)(Et2dsc) is discussed in terms of a specific interaction with the solvent. In chloromethanes and chloromethane/ROH Cu(I)(Et2dsc) is oxidised by the solvent to give the corresponding paramagnetic mixed-ligand Cu(II)(Et2dsc)Cl complex and/or its chloride-bridged and EPR silent dimer Cu2(Et2dsc)2Cl2. The formation of the monomeric species occurs through a co-ordination of the alcohol molecule in the xy plane of the complex. Because of its co-ordination inertness, toluene poorly stabilises the primary photoproduct Cu(I)(Et2dsc), thus providing an effective primary recombination process and lower efficiency of Cu(Et2dtc)(Et2dsc) photolysis. The formation of the bis-solvated mixed-ligand complex Cu(II)(Et2dsc)+ in IBMK is also discussed.

Several lines of evidence have shown glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) to be physiological ligands of the prion protein (PrP), but the molecular and regulatory aspects of the interaction remain unknown. Using full-length recombinant prion protein and low molecular mass heparin and heparan sulfate as glycosaminoglycans, we have found that the interaction occurs with the formation of oligomeric complexes. Within the protein-glycosaminoglycan complexes, PrP exhibited an enhanced fluorescence emission and a reduced solvent exposure. The pH and ionic strength-dependence of the interaction reveals His residues as the main binding sites at acid pH. A synthetic peptide consisting of four octarepeats is able to reproduce the His-dependent binding of the protein, thus demonstrating the role of the octarepeats in the GAG interaction. Alternatively, PrP can bind GAGs through His-bound Cu(II). These Cu(II) bridges promote a tighter interaction, as shown by the increased resistance to ionic strength, to protease action, and to pH-induced cation release. Inspection of other cations shows that Zn(II) but not Ni(II) shares the interaction trend. Taken together, our data suggest that the octarepeat region constitutes a novel GAG-binding sequence and that His-bound Cu(II) may act as a cofactor for intermolecular recognition reactions, allowing the formation of PrP-Cu(II)-glycosaminoglycan assemblies that may be crucial entities in the PrP metabolism.

Copper(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of 5-(4'-derivatives phenyldiazo)-3-phenyl-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HLn) were prepared, their compositions and physicochemical properties were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic suseptibility measurements, and infrared, electronic spectra. The novel complexes have the stoichiometric formulae [Cu(HLn)(OAc)n(H2O)(X)] (OAc = acetate, X = H2O or acetate) and [Cd(L)(OAc)(H2O)], respectively. Elemental analysis and IR spectra denote, that two types of complexes with different octahedral and tetrahedral structure for Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions. I.R. spectra show that the ligand is monobasic/neutral bidentate forming thereby a six-membered chelating ring and concomitant formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The stoichiometeries of these complexes were determined conductometrically and indicated the formation of 1:1 and 1:2 (metal:ligand) complexes.

Some binary and ternary novel complexes of dioxouranium(VI) with 5-vinylsalicylaldehyde (VSH) have been prepared and characterized by various physico-chemical techniques. The amine exchange reactions of coordinated poly-Schiff bases in these complexes have been also carried out which give symmetrical tetradentate poly-Schiff base complexes. Metal exchange reaction of these dioxouranium(VI) complexes with copper(II) gives the corresponding Cu(II) complexes. Reaction of tetradentate poly-Schiff base complexes of Cu(II) so obtained with ZrCl4 gives heterobinuclear polymer complexes. Magnetic, electronic and IR spectral information commensurate that configurations of square planar copper(II) polymer complexes. All the polymer complexes are coloured and appear to be nonelectrolytes in DMF. The ligands behave as bi-(O, O) and tetradentate (N2, O2) donors. El-Sonbati equation was used to evaluate the symmetric stretching frequency from which the fU-O and fUO, UO- were calculated.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies have been carried out on Cu(II) doped Cd(C5H5NO)6(BF4)2 in single crystal and powder forms at 300 K. Angular variation of hyperfine structure lines shows the presence of two magnetic sites, indicating possible twinning in the Cd lattice. From the mean values of two sites, the angular variation plot is fitted to an orthorhombic spin Hamiltonian. The observed orthorhombic g values and the very low A11 value ([A11] = 107.8 x 10(-4) cm(-1)) are unusual for a hexakis coordinated system. This unique behavior is explicable in terms of the static Jahn-Teller (JT) effect.

A new binucleating ligand containing phenoxide as an endogenous bridging group, 2,6-diformyl-p-cresol bis(2-furanthiocarboxyhydrazone) and its binuclear Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with chloride ion as an exogenous bridge, have been obtained. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivities, magnetic moment measurements at room temperature, electronic, IR, 1H-NMR, EPR, FAB spectral studies and thermal data. The copper complex assumes a tetranuclear structure composed of two binuclear units related by a center of symmetry. The dimeric nature of copper(II) complex is supported by FAB. This complex is EPR silent. Room temperature magnetic moment reveals the operation of a significant antiferromagnetic spin exchange between the metal centers. Ligand and its copper and zinc complexes exhibit fluorescence at room temperature in DMF. All the compounds show an appreciable antimicrobial activity.

Novel complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Pd(II) with the new ligand [N,N'-bis(2-carboxy-1-oxo-phenelenyl)ethylenediamine] (H2L) have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, thermal, infrared, electronic, 1H NMR and EPR spectral studies. Infrared and 1H NMR spectra show that H2L acts as a binegative tetradentate ligand. Coordination occurs through deprotonated carboxylate oxygens and nondeprotonated amido nitrogens in all the complexes. Electronic spectral studies and magnetic moment values suggest N2O2 coordination around each metal centre with strong field square planar chromophores. The probable structures of the complexes have been assigned on the basis of spectral studies. The complex formation between M(II) [M(II) = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)] and (L2-) has also been studied potentiometrically in 75% aqueous DMF at 25 degrees C in 0.1 M NaClO4. The stability constants were found to follow the order: Mn(II) < Co(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II) > Zn(II).

Bioflavonoids are naturally occurring polyphenols with intriguing and varied therapeutic and chemoprotective activities generally ascribed to their antioxidant properties. However, many flavonoids have also been shown to be genotoxic in a variety of prokaryotic, eukaryotic, and in vivo systems. The mechanistic basis for this genotoxicity has not been fully elucidated, although structure-activity relationship studies have identified requisite flavonoid structural features. We utilized Chinese hamster V79 cells to evaluate the relationships between DNA intercalation ability, topoisomerase II interactions, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and clastogenicity in a series of 14 bioflavonoids. Five of the flavonoids examined, luteolin, quercetin, genistein, apigenin, and acacetin, were strongly clastogenic. This clastogenicity was shown to require DNA intercalation (with the exception of genistein) and was substantially reduced by catalytic inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase II. The transition metals Cu(II) and Mn(II) formed chelates with and/or modified the structure and biological activity of some flavonoids but no consistent relationship could be demonstrated between metal reactivity and clastogenicity. There was no clear association between generation of ROS and clastogenicity. The data presented herein are consistent with a model in which the genotoxicity of most flavonoids arises via DNA intercalation and topo II poisoning, likely mediated through metabolism to flavonoid quinones. Interestingly, other flavonoids such as myricetin, daidzein, baicalein, fisetin, and galangin were catalytic topo II inhibitors, rather than poisons. These studies further validate the use of cell-based approaches for detecting drug/topo II interactions and raise interesting questions relating to biological and chemical mechanisms of flavonoids.

The preparation and characterization of 2-(2-benzimidazolylazo)-4-acetamidophenol (BIAAP) complexes are reported. Different physico-chemical methods like IR, Magnetic, solid reflectance spectra and molar conductance, were used to investigate the structure of BIAAP complexes. In particular, the thermal decomposition of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes of BIAAP is studied in nitrogen atmosphere. All the complexes do not contain coordinated water molecules but contain (2-4) water molecules of crystallization. The water molecules were removed in a single step. The complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II) ions exhibited a phase transition and the decomposition or combustion of BIAAP occurred in the second and subsequent steps. The final decomposition products were identified by mass spectrometry as the corresponding metal oxides or carbonate. The activation thermodynamic parameters, such as, energy of activation, enthalpy, entropy and free energy change of the complexes were evaluated and the stabilities of the thermal decomposition of the complexes are discussed. From the kinetic point of view, it is found that the thermal stability of the complexes follows the order Ni(II) > Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Fe(III) > Co(II) > Cd(II).
