Bismuth(III) Complexes with Bis(dimethylphenyl) Dithiophosphates: Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure of [{(3,5-CH3)2C6H3O}2PS2]3Bi.

This work presents four complexes with general formula [(ArO)2PS23Bi] (1-4), where Ar = 2,4-(CH3)2C6H3, 2,5-(CH3)2C6H3, 3,4-(CH3)2C6H3 and 3,5-(CH3)2C6H3, respectively. Reaction of [(ArO)2PS2Na] with Bi(NO3)3 · 5H2O in toluene in 3:1 molar stoichiometry afforded the complexes [(ArO)2PS23Bi]. These newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C and 31P) NMR. The crystal structure of [(3,5-CH3)2C6H3O2PS2]3Bi (4) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic P21/c space group and Bi(III) centre is surrounded by six sulfur atoms from three symmetrically chelating bidentate diphenyl dithiophosphate ligands in a distorted octahedron environment. Screening these complexes for their antifungal activity against Pencillium chrysogenum gave positive results.

Synthesis, spectral and antifungal analysis of diaryldithiophosphates of mono- and dibutyltin(IV): x-ray structure of [{(3,5-CH3)2C6H3O)2PS2}2Sn(nBu)2].

Diaryldithiophosphate complexes of mono- and dibutyltin(IV) corresponding to [(ArO)(2)PS(2)(n)Sn(nBu)xCl(4-x-n)] (Ar = o-CH(3)C(6)H(4), m-CH(3)C(6)H(4), p-CH(3)C(6)H(4), 4-Cl-3-CH(3)C(6)H(3), (3,5-CH(3))(2)C(6)H(3); n = 1, 2 for x = 1 and n = 2 for x = 2) were successfully isolated and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, multinuclear NMR ((1)H, (13)C, (31)P and (119)Sn) spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. The thermal properties of the complex [(3,5-CH(3))(2)C(6)H(3)O(2)PS(2)](2)Sn(nBu)(2) (12) have been examined by combined DTA/ DTG thermal analyses. Single crystal X-ray analysis of [(3,5-CH(3))(2)C(6)H(3)O(2)PS(2)](2)S(n)(nBu)(2) (12) revealed that two diaryldithiophosphate ions are coordinated to tin atom in an anisobidentate fashion through the sulfur atoms of each dithiophosphate moiety leading to distorted skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry. The antifungal activity depicts that these complexes are active against fungus Penicillium chrysogenium.

Spectroscopic, Thermal, Electrochemical, and Antimicrobial Studies of Mononuclear Manganese(II) Ditolyldithiophosphates.

New complexes of manganese(II) corresponding to [{(ArO)2PS2}2Mn] and [{(ArO)2PS2}2Mn.nL] (Ar = o-, m-, p-CH3C6H4 and p-Cl-m-CH3C6H3; n = 1, L = N2C12H8, N2C10H8; n = 2, L = NC5H5, P(C6H5)3) have been synthesized and characterized by microelemental analyses (C, H, and N), magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, thermogravimetric, cyclic voltammetry, and spectral analyses including ESI mass spectrometry, IR, and UV-visible. The presence of a four-and-six coordinated Mn atoms has been established in the complexes and adducts, respectively. Antimicrobial screening of the complexes against gram negative bacteria E. coli, K. pneumonia, and P. aeruginosa and fungus S. rolfsii has shown potential bioactivity.
