The mononuclear iron complex 1, $Fe^{III}$(Hbida)Cl($H_2O$), was synthesized using a tripodal tetradentate ligand, N-(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)iminodiacetic acid (H3bida), which has two carboxylate groups, one benzimida- zoyl group, and one tertiary amine where it serves as a tetradentate chelating ligand for the octahedral Fe(III) ion. The four equatorial positions of the octahedral complex are occupied by two monodentate carboxylates, a benzimidazole nitrogen, and an oxygen of a water molecule. One of the axial positions is occupied by an apical nitrogen of the Hbida and the other by a chloride anion. The mononuclear octahedral complex 1 mimics the geometry of the key intermediate structure of the catalytic reaction cycle proposed for the FeSODs, which is a distorted octahedral geometry with three histidyl imidazoles, an aspartyl carboxylate, a superoxide anion, and a water molecule. The redox potential of complex 1, $E_{1/2}$ is -0.11V vs. Ag/AgCl (0.12 V vs. NHE), which is slightly lower than those reported for the most FeSODs. The magnetic susceptibility of complex 1 at room temperature is 5.83 $\mu$B which is close to that of the spin only value, 5.92 $\mu$B of high-spin d5 Fe(III).

The effect of solvent on the dipole moments for (chloromethyl) stannanes has been investigated by applying EHT calculation for the isomers of trigonal bipyramidal Sn(Ⅳ)$Cl_4X$ and $Cl_n$Sn(Ⅳ) $(CH_2Cl)_{4-n}$, octahedral Sn(Ⅳ)$Cl_42X$ and $Cl_nSn$(Ⅳ)$(CH_2Cl)_{4-n}$ 2X type complexes in dioxane and ethylacetate solutions (X: dioxane or ethylacetate). For Sn(Ⅳ)$Cl_4$ in dioxane solution, the calculated dipole moment for the trigonal bipyramidal Sn(Ⅳ)$Cl_4X$ type complex [isomer (b)] is closer to the experimental dipole moment than octahedral Sn(Ⅳ)$Cl_4X$2X type complexes. This calculated dipole moment suggests that Sn(Ⅳ)$Cl_4X$ may have the trigonal bipyramidal structure in dioxane solution. However, the calculated dipole moment for octahedral $Cl_3$Sn(Ⅳ) ($CH_2$Cl)2X type complex [Isomer (d)], ClSn(Ⅳ)(CH2Cl)32X type complex [Isomer(k)] and Cl2Sn(Ⅳ)(CH2Cl)22X type complex [Isomer(h)] are closer to the experimental dipole moments than other isomers for octahedral complexes and trigonal bipyramidal complexes. Such theoretical results indicate that $Cl_3Sn$(Ⅳ )($CH_2Cl$), ClSn(Ⅳ)$(CH_2Cl)_3$ and $Cl2Sn$(Ⅳ)$(CH_2Cl)_2$ complexes may have octahedral structures, Isomer(d), (k) and (h) in ethylacetate solution, respectively.

A new octahedral Ru(III) complex with a tripodal tetraamine ligand, tpea = tris[2-(1-pyrazoyl)ethyl]amine, has been prepared and characterized. The single crystal X-ray crystallographic study of the complex revealed that the complex has a near octahedral geometry with the tetradentate ligand and two chloride ions. Peroxidase activity was examined by observing the oxidation of 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of the complex. Amount of $ABTS^{+{\bullet}}$ generated during the reaction was monitored by UV/VIS and EPR spectroscopies. After the initiation of the peroxidase reaction, $ABTS^{+{\bullet}}$ concentration increases and then decreases after certain time, indicating that both ABTS and $ABTS^{+{\bullet}}$ are the substrates of the peroxidase activity of the Ru(III) complex.

Reactions of cobalt(II) chloride with 2,2'-dipyridylamine (dpa) in alcoholic solutions afford the complex of octahedral $Co(dpa)_2Cl_2{\cdot}CH_3OH$. The octahedral complex is converted to tetrahedral $Co(dpa)Cl_2$ in certain solvents or at the elevated temperature, and the tetrahedral complex is changed to the octahedral one with added dpa. The electronic spectra of the complexes in DMF, measured with various concentrations of 2,2'-dipyridylamine, establish the equilibrium; $td-Co(dpa)Cl_2+dpa_\rightleftarrows^Koh-Co(dpa)_2Cl_2$. The equilibrium constants determined by the analysis of the visible spectra are 6.4, 3.6 and 2.0 $M^{-1}$, respectively, at 25.5, 38.0 and $49.0^{\circ}C,\;with\;{\Delta}H^{\circ}\;and\;{\Delta}S^{\circ}$being -9.5 kcal/mole and -28 eu.

The reaction of [$[Ni(L)]Cl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ (L = 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[$14,4,0^{1.18},0^{7.12}$]docosane) with 1,1-cyclohexanediacetic acid ($H_2cda$) yields mononuclear nickel(II) complex, [$Ni(L)(Hcda^-)_2$] (1). This complex has been characterized by X-ray crystallography, electronic absorption, cyclic voltammetry and thermogravimetric analyzer. The crystal structure of 1 exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry with four nitrogen atoms of the macrocycle and two 1,1-cyclohexanediacetate ligands. It crystallizes in the triclinic system P-1 with a = 11.3918(7), b = 12.6196(8), $c=12.8700(8){\AA}$, $V=1579.9(2){\AA}^3$, Z = 2. Electronic spectrum of 1 also reveals a high-spin octahedral environment. Cyclic voltammetry of 1 undergoes one wave of a one-electron transfer corresponding to $Ni^{II}/Ni^{III}$ process. TGA curve for 1 shows three-step weight loss. The electronic spectra, electrochemical and TGA behavior of the complex are significantly affected by the nature of the axial $Hcda^-$ ligand.

A new series of nickel(II), cobalt(II)/(III) and copper(II) complexes of 14, 15 and 16-membered of macrocyclic ligands have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-VIS and $^1H-NMR$ spectra, magnetic susceptibilities, conductivities, DTA and ESR measurements. Molar conductances in DMF solution indicate that, the complexes are nonelectrolytes except (9-12) complexes. The electronic spectra show that, all complexes are square planar or distorted octahedral geometry. The ESR spectra of solid complexes (4), (8) and (11) show square planar of axial type symmetry $(d_{x2-y2})$ with considerable covalent bond character. However, complex (12) shows a spectrum of octahedral geometry with $d_{z2}$ ground state. Complex (12) shows exploitation in reducing the amount of electron adducts formed in DNA during irradiation with low radiation products.
