Abstract
The complexes Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity, infrared and UV–Vis spectroscopy, 1H NMR, X-ray diffraction patterns, magnetic susceptibility and thermal analysis (TG/DTG/DSC). The X-ray analysis shows that the studied compounds crystallize in the triclinic crystal system and they are no isostructural complexes. The unit cell parameters for these chelates were presented. The molecules of solvent are in the outside coordination sphere of the complexes. The chelates have different thermal stability and they decompose in air atmosphere in three steps. The coordination of metal ions is through nitrogen atom from ligand and oxygen atom present in 4-position of γ-pyrone. The studied chelates have electrolyte (1:1) and non-electrolyte nature. They are high-spin complexes with octahedral coordination and the weak ligand fields.

Introduction
The synthesis of complexes of metal ions with heterocycles ligands is currently subject of considerable interest, mainly as an approach to materials with novel physicochemical properties and biological activity. Compounds containing the chromone skeleton are an important class of compounds which occurs naturally in plants. They have antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antitumor, antioxidant, antiHIV, anticancer, antiviral and antiallergenic properties [1–7]. In addition, 3-formylochromone and its derivatives inhibit a human protein phosphatase PTP1B [8]. 3-Formylochromones (4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehydes) are relevant for two reasons. They show a significant biological activity and they can be used as substrates for various reactions [9]. 4-Oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehyde contains three electron deficient sites (C-2, C-4 and –CHO) suitable for nucleophilic attack [10]. The products of the condensation of 3-formylochromone with primary amines depend on the conditions of the reactions [4, 10–15]. It was proved that the reaction of chromones with primary amines proceeded via nucleophilic 1,4-addition with the opening of the pyrone ring [14]. The condensation 3-formylchromone with aniline allows to obtain yellow crystals of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one. The synthesis, structure and some of physicochemical properties of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one were presented in previous article [16].
The aim of this study was to obtain the complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one and to determine their properties. The thermal behaviour of these compounds was investigated by using thermogravimetric (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods. Thermal characterizations let us evaluate the assumed position of crystallization water molecules in the outer or inner spheres of coordination, determine the endo- or exo-effects connected with such processes as: dehydration, melting, crystallization, oxidation, reduction and estimate the strength of bonding between atoms or groups of atoms and ions. Their spectral (IR, UV–Vis), structural (1H NMR, X-ray diffraction patterns, conductivity) and magnetic properties were also studied.
Experimental
Physical measurements
Elemental analysis for C, H was performed using a Perkin-Elmer CHN 2400 analyser. The contents of M(II) were established by using ED XRF spectrophotometer (Canberra-Packard). The melting point of analysed complexes was measured using BÜCHI Melting Point B-540. The FTIR and UV–Vis spectra of complexes were recorded over the range 4000–400 cm−1 and 200–800 nm, respectively, using M-80 spectrophotometer (Carl Zeiss, Jena). The X-ray diffraction patterns were taken on a HZG-4 (Carl Zeiss, Jena) diffractometer using Ni filtered CuKα radiation. The measurements were made within the range 2θ = 4–80° with a step equal to 0.5°. The X-rayan programme was used for determining position and peak intensities. The TREOR programme was used for calculating the unit cell parameters from the collection of data, which had been obtained from the X-rayan programme [17]. Thermal stability and decomposition of the complex were determined by Setaram Setsys 16/18 derivatograph, recording TG, DTG and DSC curves. The measurement was made at heating rate of 10 K min−1 with full scale. The samples (6.54–7.66 mg) were heated in ceramic crucible in air to 1273 K. The magnetic moment was determined at room temperature using Gouy method. Magnetic susceptibility measurements were made on magnetic balance (Sherwood Scientific Ltd., Cambridge MSB-MK1) using Hg[Co(SCN)4] as a calibrant. The correction for diamagnetism [18] of the constituent atoms was calculated from the equation:
The 1H NMR spectra of the ligand and its complexes were recorded with a Brucker Avance 300 instrument using d6-DMSO solution and TMS as internal standard. The measurements were made at 25 °C. Molar conductance was measured with a PHYWE 13701.93 conductometer (10−3 mol dm−3 CH3OH solution was used).
Materials
The 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehyde and aniline used for the preparation of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one were produced by Aldrich Chemical Company. The chlorides of respective metal ions were used as the hydrated and anhydrous salts (i.e. MnCl2·4H2O, CoCl2·6H2O, NiCl2·6H2O, CuCl2·2H2O and ZnCl2) and produced by Polish Chemical Reagents in Gliwice (Poland).
Synthesis
The preparation of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one was presented in previous article [15].
The hot methanolic solution (80 mL) of 3-(phenyloaminomethylene)-2-methoxy-chroman-4-one (2 mmol, 0.563 g) was added dropwise to a hot stirred water–methanol (1:1, 20 mL) solution of corresponding metal(II) salts (1 mmol). The mixtures were constant stirring for 3 h (T = 333 K, pH = 5.3). The solution was cooled overnight at room temperature (slow evaporation). The precipitated complexes were filtered off, washed several times with cold methanol and dried at 303 K to constant mass.
Results and discussion
The properties of complexes Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one were studied. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis (Table 1), FTIR, UV–Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, thermal methods, magnetic and conductivity measurements.
Infrared spectroscopy
The FTIR spectra of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one and its complexes were registered (Table 2) [9, 16, 19–22]. In the IR spectra of complexes the broad band with the value of maximum frequency at 3392–3448 cm−1, characteristic of ν(OH) vibrations confirms the presence of the water (and methanol for complex of Mn(II)) molecules. The bands at 2904–2972 cm−1 and 2824–2876 cm−1 may be assigned to asymmetric and symmetric stretching vibrations of the ν(CH3) group, respectively from methoxy-substituent. The very strong band at 1284 cm−1 in the spectrum of ligand was attributed to the ν(C–N). The shifting of this band in the spectra of complexes to lower frequency compared with free 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one suggests a coordination of metal ions through nitrogen atom. The very strong band of ν(C=O) from chromanone in the spectrum of free ligand was registered at 1652 cm−1. In the spectra of analysed complexes this band is shifted to lower frequency, it results in the participation of carbonyl oxygen of chromanone in the coordination of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II). New bands which are not present in the spectrum of free ligand appeared in the range of 516–544 cm−1, 440–516 cm−1 and 372–392 cm−1 were attributed to ν(M–O), ν(M–N), ν(M–Cl) vibrations, respectively. The spectra of ligand and its complexes display splitted bands in the range of 3008–3276 cm−1, which may be assigned to ν(N–H···O). The presence of intramolecular hydrogen bond between N–H···O was confirmed in the structure of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one [16].
Electronic absorption spectroscopy
The electronic absorption data of studied chelates are given in Table 3. In the spectrum of the ligand, the band at maximum 332 nm (30118 cm−1) is due to the chromanone ring π – π* transition. The absorption band at 398 nm (25078 cm−1) may be attributed to the n – π* transition within the aminomethylene group, influenced by the intramolecular charge transfer within the ligand molecule. During the formation of the complexes, these bands are shifted to longer wavelength, suggesting that the nitrogen atom is coordinated to the metal ions. The comparison of UV spectra of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one and its chelates clearly shows that the absorption bands characteristic of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) are bathochromically shifted in methanol solution of ligand [23–25].
X-ray diffraction patterns
The X-ray diffraction patterns were made for all analysed complexes (Fig. 1). For complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) every 2θ peak position was used in the calculation. The X-ray analysis shows that the studied compounds crystallize in the triclinic crystal system and they are no isostructural complexes. The unit cell parameters for these compounds are presented in Table 3. The values of cell volume for analysed complexes are in the range of 1077-1973 Å3 [17, 26].
Thermal analysis
The thermal stability of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) was studied in the range 303–1273 K in air atmosphere. The thermal behaviour of the synthesized complexes was characterized on the basis of TG/DTG and DSC methods. The baseline was obtained by running empty crucibles under the same measurements conditions (atmosphere, flow rate, initial temperature and heating rate). The data of thermal decomposition of studied compounds are listed in Table 4. Thermoanalytical curves of [Ni(C17H15NO3)2(H2O)Cl]Cl·3H2O and [Zn(C17H15NO3)2Cl2]·H2O are presented as examples (Figs. 2, 3).
The TG curves of analysed chelates shows three decomposition steps. The first step corresponds to the loss of water and methanol molecules. Considering the temperatures at which the dehydration process of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) takes place and the way by which it proceeds, it is possible to assume that the molecules of water (and methanol) are differently bound in the respective complexes. According to Nikolaev et al. [27] and Singh et al. [28], water eliminated below 424 K can be regarded as water of crystallization. Furthermore water eliminated above this temperature is coordinated to the central ion [29]. In studied compounds of Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) only one chloride atom is coordinated to the metal ion. Moreover the magnetic moments of these chelates are in a good agreement with literature data what suggest octahedral arrangement of the ligands around the metal ion. For these reasons, it seems that one water molecule (methanol for Mn(II)) is coordinated to the metal ion. Furthermore the compounds lose molecules of water and methanol which are present in outside and inside of coordination sphere of respective chelates in one step [30–33]. The process of desolvation connected with endothermic effect is observed in DSC (sometimes splitted). The thermal analysis data show that the number of water and methanol molecules is in a good agreement with that defined by elemental analysis. The desolvation process for studied compounds starts in the range 313–351 K and finishes in the range 381–438 K (Table 4). The observed mass loss for this stage is in the range 2.6–12.5% (calcd. 2.51–12.23%). In the all complexes, a plateau is obtained after the first step which corresponds to the formation of stable dehydrated or desolvated metal complexes. The values of enthalpy of desolvation process for complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), which were calculated from DSC curves are equal to 40.8, 11.0, 11.1, 19.0 and 31.1 kJ mol−1, respectively. The second stage of decomposition of analysed compounds occurs in the temperature range 438–485 K and corresponds to the decomposition of the organic part. According to registered TG/DTG and DSC curves of the studied chelates, the organic part of the complexes may decompose in one or more steps with the possibility of formation of one, two or three intermediate unstable products. The last stage of decomposition is accompanied by a broad exothermic effect in DSC curves. The final solid inorganic products are stable metal oxides Mn2O3, Co3O4, NiO, CuO and ZnO. Decomposition effects of the analysed complexes were used to obtain information about their thermal stability, properties, nature of the final products and desolvation process. The metal percentages calculated from the metal oxide residues were found to be a good agreement with the results of elemental analysis. A comparison of temperatures of the first and second step of decomposition of the complexes was made (Fig. 4). These temperatures do not vary regularly with increasing atomic number of elements. In the first step, the most stable is Zn(II) complex and next the thermal stability of anhydrous complexes increases in order: Zn(II) < Mn(II) < Cu(II) < Co(II) < Ni(II).
Magnetic measurements
The magnetic moment of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were measured at room temperature (Table 3). The value of magnetic moment for manganese(II) complex is 6.1 μB corresponding to five unpaired electrons and octahedral coordination. The magnetic moment for Co(II) complex is 4.8 μB, suggesting an approximate high-spin octahedral geometry of ligands around cobalt(II) (octahedral normal range for Co(II) complexes is 4.3–5.2 μB). Divalent Ni2+ cation (3d8) should exhibit a magnetic moment for two unpaired electrons (octahedral normal range is 2.8–3.2 μB and tetrahedral is 3.4–4.0 μB). The value of magnetic moment at room temperature of the 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one of Ni(II) is 3.2 μB, what indicates its octahedral geometry. The magnetic moment of the Cu(II) complex at room temperature is 1.7 μB which shows one unpaired electron and is typical for distorted octahedral copper(II) chelates. The Zn(II) complex is diamagnetic as expected for d10 configuration. The experimental data suggest that 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-ones of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) are high-spin complexes with weak ligand fields. [34–36].
1H NMR
1H NMR spectra of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one and its five complexes in DMSO solution were measured and the assignments of spectral data are listed in Table 5. All the signals detected in the 1H NMR spectra of the free ligand molecule were also found in the appropriate spectra of analysed complexes. The calculated chemical shifts for ligand strongly correlate with experimental values. For most of the hydrogens, the predicted error is within the 0.0–3.1% range. The highest value of predicted error for proton signal of 15 NH is 7.6%, which is likely to be caused by hydrogen bond (N–H···O) between proton of nitrogen atom and oxygen from chromanone. This hydrogen bond is observed in the structure of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one [16]. The spectra of the complexes with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) show very wide signals due to the paramagnetic nature of these metals. In the spectra of free ligand and its complexes in DMSO-d6 solution, the aromatic proton signal is shown at 6.35–7.78 ppm regions. The signals at 3.50 ppm for ligand and 3.31–3.72 ppm for chelates are caused by the presence of methoxy-group. These signals in the spectra of complexes are obtained downfield and upfield in comparison with respective signals in the spectrum of free ligand. These shifts may be due to the possibility of the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the oxygen atom from –OCH3. In the structure of 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one, the hydrogen bonds occur between nitrogen and oxygen atoms from chromone as well as between oxygen atom from methoxy-group and –CH in the six-membered ring [16]. The proton at nitrogen atom in the free ligand (12.15 ppm) is shifted downfield to 11.86–11.87 ppm on complexation. This observation suggests that the ligand coordinates to the metal ions through the nitrogen atom [15, 37–40].
Molar conductivity of complexes
The molar conductance of complexes Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one was measured in 0.001 mol·dm−3 CH3OH solution (Table 3). Their values are in the range of 15.2–101.2 Ω−1·cm2·mol−1. These values indicate a 1:1 electrolyte nature for Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) compounds, thus these complexes may be formulated as [ML2Cl]Cl. The complexes of Cu(II) and Zn(II) are non-electrolyte indicating that both the two chloride anions are involved in coordination to the respective M(II) ions. It also suggests six coordinate formulation for these complexes. Thus, these compounds may be formulated as [ML2Cl2] where M = Cu(II) and Zn(II) [41–43].
Conclusions
On the basis of the studies described above (elemental analysis data, 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, molar conductance and thermogravimentric analysis) the coordination of metal ions in analysed complexes is suggested (Fig. 5). The investigated complexes were obtained as crystalline solvates with different number of solvent molecules. The molecules of solvent occur in the outside coordination sphere of complexes. The studied compounds are stable in air at room temperature and they have electrolyte (1:1) and non-electrolyte nature. Their desolvation runs in one step above 313 K. In all cases, the anhydrous metal complexes undergo exothermic decomposition reactions to give the metal oxide. The X-ray analysis shows that investigated chelates crystallize in the triclinic crystal system and they are no isostructural complexes. The suggested coordination of metal ions to ligand is through oxygen and nitrogen atoms from 3-(anilinomethylene)-2-methoxychroman-4-one.
