Magneto-structural, Stabilizing Interactions, Thermal, and Molecular Docking Studies of Cu(II) Complexes with Sorbic and 3-Phenylpropanoic Acids and N-donor Ligands
The first structurally characterized Cu(II) complex of sorbic acid (SA), compound 1 [Cu₂(µ-SA)₄(MET)₂], along with the Cu(II) complex of 3-phenylpropanoic acid (PPA), compound 2 [Cu₂(µ-PPA)₄(METB)₂], were synthesized and characterized. These complexes, supported by metronidazole (MET) and metronidazole benzoate (METB), were analyzed using FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopy, PXRD, thermal analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural studies revealed dimeric arrangements with centrosymmetric syn-syn bidentate ligand coordination. Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) and Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analyses highlighted weak dispersion interactions, including CH···O, NO₂···HC, C–H···π, and π···π stacking, as well as tetrel-type stabilization. Molecular docking studies revealed that compound 2 exhibited the most favorable binding energy with Candida albicans receptors (4YDE and 3DRA), involving key interaction residues commonly found in active ligands. The magnetic properties of compounds 1 and 2 were thoroughly investigated, modeled, and analysed, yielding exchange coupling constants (J = –320 cm⁻¹ for 1 and –330 cm⁻¹ for 2), demonstrating strong antiferromagnetic interactions within the dicopper(II) tetrakis(µ-carboxylato)-bridged blocks.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
