Synthesis of dichloro cobalt (Ⅲ) complexes of a flexible $N_2O_2-type$ tetradentate ligand, ethylenediamene-N,N'-di-${\alpha}$-isobutyric acid (eddib), has yielded two geometrical isomers, s-cis-$(Co(eddib)Cl_2)- and uns-cis-(Co(eddib)Cl_2)-.$ A series of substitution reactions, $(Co(eddib)Cl_2)^- {\to} (CO(eddib)Cl H_2O) {\to} (Co(eddib)CO_3)^- {\to} (Co(eddib(H_2O)_2)^+$ have been run for each of the two geometrical isomers. The reaction between the s-cis-(Co(eddib)Cl_2)^-$ complex and L-alanine (L-als) or S-methyl-L-cysteine (L-mcy) gave the meridional s-cis-[Co(eddib)(aa)) (aa = L-ala or L-mcy) complex. The S-methyl-L-cysteine was found to coordinate to cobalt (Ⅲ) ion via the nitrogen and oxygen donor atoms.

Cobalt(Ⅲ) ion gives two step waves with $E_{1/2}$－0.1V(?)(vs.S.C.E.) and $E_{1/2}$－1.37V(vs. S.C.E.) from a base electrolyte consisting of 0.1 M TEA＋sodium borate＋0.0002% gelatin. The first wave results from the reduction Co(Ⅲ) to Co(Ⅱ). The second wave corresponding to the reduction Co(Ⅱ) to Co(0) and this wave is diffusion controlled. The diffusion current constant of the second wave is 2.7. Under these-conditions, diffusion current of the second wave is proportional to the concentration of Co (Ⅱ) in the range of $10^{-3}{\sim}10^{-4}$ M.

The solid complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II) and Fe(III) with 4-hydroxy-3-(1-{2-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)- amino phenylimino}-ethyl)-6-methy-pyran-2-one (H2L) derived from o-phenylenediamine, 3-acetyl- 6-methyl-(2H) pyran, 2,4 (3H)-dione (dehydroacetic acid or DHA) and salicylic aldehyde have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductometry, magnetic susceptibility, UV-visible, IR, $^1H$-NMR spectra, X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and screened for antimicrobial activity. The IR spectral data suggest that the ligand behaves as a dibasic tetradentate ligand with ONNO donor atoms sequence towards central metal ion. From the microanalytical data, the stoichiometry of the complexes has been found to be 1:1 (metal: ligand). The physico-chemical data suggests square planar geometry for Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes and octahedral geometry for Co(II), Mn(II) and Fe(III) complexes. The x-ray differaction data suggests orthorhombic crystal system for Cu(II) complex, monoclinic crystal system for Ni(II), Co(II) and Fe(III) and tetragonal crystal system for Mn(II) complex. Thermal behaviour (TG/DTA) of the complexes was studied and kinetic parameters were determined by Coats-Redfern method. The ligand and their metal complexes were screened for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and fungicidal activity against Aspergillus Niger and Trichoderma.

It was found that the adsorption of a cobalt(III) complex with a macrocyclic ligand, C-meso-5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (hmc), was induced on a glassy carbon electrode by heavily oxidizing the electrode surface. Adsorption properties are discussed. The glassy carbon electrode with the adsorbed complex was employed to see the catalytic activities for the electro-reduction of O2. In the presence of oxygen, reduction of (hmc)Co3+ showed two cathodic waves in cyclic voltammetry. Compared to the edge plane graphite electrode at which two cathodic waves were also observed in a previous study, catalytic reduction of O2 occurred in the potential region of the first wave while it happened in the second wave region with the other electrode. A rotating disk electrode after the same treatment was employed to study the mechanism of the O2 reduction and two-electron reduction of O2 was observed. The difference from the previous results was explained by the different reactivity of the (hmc)CoOOH2+ intermediate, which is produced after the two electron reduction of (hmc)Co3+ in the presence of O2.

Induced circular dichroism spectra of racemic cobalt(III) complexes for $[Co(en)_3]^{3+},\;[Co(tn_)3]^{3+},\;cis-[Co(NH_3)(en)_2]^{3+},\;[Co({\beta}-ala)(en)2_]^{2+},\;[Co(gly)(en)_2]^{2+}\;and\;[Co(acac)(en)_2]^{2+}$ were measured when they were dissolved in aqueous d-tartrate2- solution at room temperature. Only a single negative CD spectrum was observed for all the complexes above in visible region(400∼500nm). It was interpreted that these CD bands were attributed to the difference in interaction between ${\Lambda}$-and ${\Delta}$-enantiomers with d-tartrate$^{2-}$. Namely, when d-tartrate$^{2-}$ was added to ${\Lambda}$-enantiomer and ${\Delta}$-enantiomer, it caused ${\Lambda}$-enantiomer to change greatly and ${\Delta}$-enantiomer to change only slightly; combined the results proved induced circular dichroism. The enantiomer for which the eluent has a stronger affinity should be eluted faster in ion-exchange column chromatography. It is possible to predict the elution order of chromatography from the sign of the induced CD if stronger interaction of chiral anion with the complex leads to greater change in the natural CD spectrum of the complex. The elution order was in complete agreement with the prediction from the sign of the induced CD spectrum for all the measured complexes.

This study aims to elucidate the mechanism involved in the hydrolysis of the hexacyanoferrate(III) complex ion (Fe(CN)₆^3-) and the mechanism leading to the formation of Prussian blue (Fe^III₄[Fe_II(CN)₆]₃·xH₂O, PB) in acidic aqueous solutions at moderately elevated temperatures. Hydrolysis constitutes a crucial step in generating PB through the widely used single-source or precursor method. Recent PB syntheses predominantly rely on the single-source method, where hexacyanoferrate(II/III) is the exclusive reactant, as opposed to the co-precipitation method employing bare metal ions and hexacyanometalate ions. Despite the widespread adoption of the single-source method, mechanistic exploration remains largely unexplored and speculative. Utilizing UV-vis spectrophotometry, negative-ion mode liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS), and a devised reaction, this study identifies crucial intermediates, including aqueous Fe^2+/3+ ions and hydrocyanic acid (HCN) in the solution. These two intermediates eventually combine to form thermodynamically stable PB. The findings presented in this research significantly contribute to understanding the fundamental mechanism underlying the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the hexacyanoferrate(III) complex ion and the subsequent formation of PB, as proposed in the sequential mechanism introduced herein. This finding might contribute to the cost-effective synthesis of PB by incorporating diverse metal ions and potassium cyanide.

A novel ONNO-type tetradentate ligand, 1,3-diaminopropane-N,N'-di-α-(β-methyl)-pentanoic acid (H2apmp) and its cobalt(Ⅲ) complexes, [Co(apmp)X2]n+, (X=Cl-, NO2-, H2O, X2=CO32-, en, L-phenylalanine) have been synthesized. During the preparation of the dichloro cobalt(Ⅲ) complex of apmp, [Co(apmp)Cl2]-, the ligand has coordinated to the cobalt(Ⅲ) ion in a geometric selectivity to give only the uns-cis isomer and, during the substitution reaction between L-phenylalanine and [Co(apmp)Cl2]-, the L-phenylalanine has coordinated to the cobalt(Ⅲ) ion in a geometric selectivity to give only an uns-cis-meridional isomer. It is of interest that this is a rare case of the [Co(ONNO ligand)X2]n+-type complex preparations, which gives only an uns-cis isomer with geometric selectivity.

Mononuclear Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Fe(III), Ru(III), and UO2(II) complexes of 2-hydroxy-4-(p-tolyldiazenyl)benzylidene)-2-(p-tolylamino)acetohydrazide (H2L) were prepared by direct method. The ligand and its complexes were isolated in solid state and characterized by analytical techniques such as elemental and thermal analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectroscopic techniques such as UV-Visible, IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. The spectral data indicated that the ligand acted as neutral/monobasic bidentate or monobasic/dibasic tridentate ligand bonded to the metal ions through the oxygen atom of ketonic or enolic carbonyl group, azomethine nitrogen atom and deprotonated/protonated phenolic oxygen atom forming either tetragonally distorted octahedral or octahedral. Antimicrobial activities of the ligand and its complexes were evaluated against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus niger by well diffusion method. The results of antifungal activity showed that the Fe(III) complex (10) exhibited higher antifungal against Aspergillus niger than the other complexes. However, the results of antibacterial activity revealed that Cu(II) complex (4) is the most active against Escherichia coli while the Cu(II) complex (5) and Fe(III) complex (10) exhibited higher antibacterial effect on Bacillus subtilis than the other complexes.
