Experimental and theoretical studies on (2E,5E)-2,5-bis(2-methoxybenzylidene)cyclopentanone: Structural, electrochemical, spectroscopic features, solid-state interactions, molecular docking and adsorption studies onto 2D carbon nanomaterials
A monocarbonyl analog of curcumin, (2E,5E)-2,5-bis(2-methoxybenzylidene)-cyclopentanone (B2MBCP), was prepared and characterized via spectroscopic methods (NMR, UV-Vis, FT-IR, and MS). Furthermore, density functional calculations were implemented to study the molecular structure and spectroscopic features, as well as adsorption properties. In addition, Hirshfeld surface and NBO theoretical analysis were carried out. The reduced density gradient (RDG) analysis via non-covalent interactions (NCI) and interaction region indicator (IRI) indicate the presence of extensive Van der Waals interactions. These interactions are classified in different contributions and energy stabilization from Hirshfeld surface analysis where the dominant type of contacts are H···H contacts. The molecular docking studies of B2MBCP with DNA revealed cooperative interactions that led to intercalation. The results from the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements agreed with the calculated energies of the frontier orbitals and the compound structure. Theoretical studies indicated that the relatively flat B2MBCP is adsorbed onto a graphene surface, with a significant adsorption energy of –41.19 kcal/mol. The results of this study provide a better overall picture of the properties of MAC with a cyclopentanone core and can be taken as a useful guide in the search for new biologically active compounds and new possible means of delivery.

Two new coordination polymers, namely poly[[(3-aminopyrazin-4-ium-2-carboxylate-κ2N1,O)di-μ-chlorido-cadmium(II)] monohydrate], {[CdCl2(C5H5N3O2)]·H2O}n, (1), and poly[2-amino-3-carboxypyrazin-1-ium [(3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxylato-κ2N1,O)di-μ-chlorido-cadmium(II)] monohydrate], {(C5H6N3O2)[Cd(C5H4N3O2)Cl2]·H2O}n, (2), have been synthesized from the reaction of cadmium(II) chloride and 3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (Hapca) under mild conditions in acidic media. The two coordination polymers have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and show chloride-bridged zigzag chains with octahedrally coordinated metal ions, where Hapca acts as a bidentate ligand via the π-conjugated N atom and a carboxylate O atom. The chains are further interconnected via noncovalent interactions into three-dimensional supramolecular networks. The dominant H...O and H...Cl interactions for both compounds were quantified using Hirshfeld surface analysis. The thermal stability and topological analysis of the two-dimensional networks of (1) and (2) are also discussed.

Herein, a new Ni(II) carboxylate polymer, [Ni(Pyr).4H 2 O]Phth , is synthesized by the reaction of NiSO 4 .7H 2 O with equimolar amounts of phthalic acid (PhthH 2 ) as the counter-anion and pyrazine (Pyr) as an ancillary ligand in aqueous media. The crystal structure of [Ni(Pyr).4H 2 O]Phth is investigated by single crystal X-rays diffraction analysis, which inferred the ionic nature of the complex. In cation, the Ni-center is coordinated by two pyrazine rings and four water molecules to form an octahedral coordination geometry. The crystal structure exists as a one-dimensional polymeric structure. The crystal packing is stabilized by OH O and CH O bonding. The non-covalent interactions are investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The enrichment ratio delivers the tendency of the interaction of the pair of chemical moieties, which are involved in the packing of crystals. Moreover, void analysis is executed to look at the packing efficiency, which helps in predicting the mechanical response of the compound.

A new one-dimensional thiocyanate-bridged cobalt(III) Schiff base complex, namely, catena-poly[[[4-bromo-2-((Z)-{[2-(thiophen-2-yl)ethyl]imino}methyl)phenolato-κ2N,O]cobalt(III)]-μ-thiocyanato-κ2N:S], [Co(SCN)(C13H11BrNOS)2]n or [Co(μ1,3-SCN)L2]n (1), where HL is 4-bromo-2-((Z)-{[2-(thiophene-2-yl)ethyl]imino}methyl)phenol, a bidentate Schiff base prepared from the condensation reaction of 5-bromosalicylaldehyde and 2-(thiophen-2-yl)ethylamine, has been synthesized by stirring Co(ClO4)2·6H2O, the Schiff base HL and ammonium thiocyanate (in a 1:2:1 molar ratio) in ethanol medium. The complex was characterized by FT-IR, electronic spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) studies. The SC-XRD data suggest that the compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca21. The CoIII ion in 1 adopts a distorted octahedral geometry, the metal sites being six-coordinated by one thiocyanate N atom and one thiocyanate S atom in apical positions, and by two imine N atoms and two phenolate O atoms from two anionic L- ligands which form the basal plane. The thiocyanate ligand acts as a μ-1,3 bridge, joining neighbouring CoIII atoms and forming a uniform zigzag one-dimensional polymeric chain. The crystallographic data were also used in the Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis, which aimed to investigate the nature and quantitative significance of any noncovalent intermolecular interactions inside the crystal lattice. The crystal void parameters have also been computed and show the molecules to be tightly packed.
