AB  - To investigate how modification in the structure of 1,3-propanediamine chain of 1,3-pdta (1,3-propanediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetate) ligand affects the structural and biological properties of the corresponding metal complexes, two new octahedral complexes, [Co(H2O)5Co(2,2-diMe-1,3-pdta)]·H2O (1) and [Mg(H2O)5Mg(2,2-diMe-1,3-pdta)]·1.5H2O (2) (2,2-diMe-1,3-pdta = 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetate), were synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Additionally, UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopic methods were applied for the characterization of 1 and 2, respectively. Crystallographic data indicate that these complexes contain 2,2-diMe-1,3-pdta coordinated to the metal ion through 2 N and 4 O atoms forming [M(H2O)5M′(2,2-diMe-1,3-pdta)] complex unit (M, M′ = Co(II), Co(II) (1) and M, M′ = Mg(II), Mg(II) (2)), which is composed of [M′(2,2-diMe-1,3-pdta)]2− and [M(H2O)5O]2+ octahedra bridged by one of the axial carboxylate groups. The antimicrobial activities of 1 and 2 were evaluated against different bacteria and Candida spp., while their cytotoxic effect was tested on the normal human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5). The ability of 1 and 2 to inhibit formation of C. glabrata biofilms was also assessed. The obtained structural parameters and biological properties of the two complexes were compared to Co(II) and Mg(II) complexes with 1,3-pdta ligand.

AB  - The article presents an overview of the results achieved during the last several decades on the synthesis and structural characterization of copper(II) complexes with different aminopolycarboxylates. Considering the structural varieties in designing aminopolycarboxylate ligands and significant stereochemical flexibility of the corresponding copper(II) complexes to adopt a wide range of coordination geometries, this review is mainly focused on the results related to the crystallographic characterization of the synthesized complexes. The ligands used for the synthesis of copper(II) complexes described in this article contain two amine nitrogen atoms and different number of the carboxylate oxygen donor atoms (N2O2, N2O3 and N2O4-type of ligands). Giving the importance to the biological relevance of the Cu(II) ion and broad aspects of potential application of aminopolycarboxylate ligands in human practice, the presented results could have some important implications for coordination chemists dealing with structural properties of aminopolycarboxylate-copper(II) complexes and their potential medicinal and biological applications.

AB  - A series of Na+, K+ and Ca2+ salts of chromium(III) complexes with the hexadentate (+/-)-1,3-pentanediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate (1,3-pndta) ligand was evaluated. The extent of distortion exhibited in the geometry of these octahedral complexes was computed and related to the configuration at the metal center and the ligand stereogenic center. The materials have been used to investigate the effect of the counter ion and the diamine ring substitution on the self organization and degree of hydration of these molecules in crystals. Various modes of carboxylate binding to metal atoms have been related to the formation of 3D, 2D and 1D polymeric structures. The electronic absorption and H-1 NMR spectra of 1,3-pndta-Cr(III) complexes are discussed in relation to those of 1,3-pdta-Cr(III) complex (1,3-propanediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate ion) of known structure.

AB  - Structural variations modulated by ethyl side group have been analyzed for nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with (+/-)-1,3-pentanediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate ligand (1,3-pndta) and its pentadentate derivative (+/-)-1,3-pentanediamine-N,N,N'-triacetate (1,3-pnd3a). X-ray results obtained for the octahedral 1,3-pndta-Ni(II) complex indicate the distinct correlation of the central chirality of the metal with the chirality at the diamine alpha-carbon, which leads to the formation of a racemic mixture of Delta Lambda Delta(R) and Lambda Delta Lambda(S) enantiomeric anionic complexes, where the R and S labels designate the absolute configuration at the ligand (ethyl-substituted) stereogenic center. These stereoisomers are those required to maintain an equatorial ethyl group on the central six-membered chelate ring, whose conformation is lambda twist-boat for the Delta Lambda Delta isomer and 8 twist-boat for the Lambda Delta Lambda isomer. Ethyl group discernibly affects the variation of the Ni-N and Ni-O bond lengths compared to the analogous complex lacking the substitution of one of the diastereotopic diamine CH2 hydrogens and functions as steric bulkiness which hampers an efficient and of high symmetry packing, observed in the crystals of the parent complex.

AB  - This paper reports the synthesis and X-ray characteristics of the missing homonuclear s-block metal complex {[Sr-2(1,3-pdta)(H2O)(6)]center dot H2O}(n). In the title compound, the hexadentate 1,3-propanediaminetetraacetate (1,3-pdta) ligand joins to two Sr(II) centers via the diamine chain. Moreover, each Sr(II) is bridged through two carboxylate O atoms and a water molecule to two neighboring Sr(II) ions. The coordination sphere around each Sr(II) ion consists of one diamine nitrogen, four carboxylate oxygens and four water molecules. Comparison with the previously reported M(II)-1,3-pdta complexes reveals that increasing of the ion size results in the incorporation of water molecules into its first coordination sphere and consequent increase of the coordination number (C.N.) from six to seven or eight, while keeping the hexadentate coordination mode of the ligand. Further increase of the metal ion size leads to the loss of the chelating properties of the diamine and formation of a bis-tridentate complex. Associated with it is the change in the binding mode of the carboxylate groups. This forms the basis for classification of divalent metal 1,3-pdta complexes into five distinct structural classes. Additionally, in the present study X-ray powder diffraction and IR spectroscopy were used to distinguish the different structural types of M(II)-1,3-pdta complexes, including Ba[Ba(1,3-pdta)]center dot 2H(2)O which has been used for their preparation.
