A new Cu(II) complex, [CuL2(H2O)2]·H2O (HL = N-nicotinoylglycine), has been obtained using N-nicotinoylglycine, copper(II) acetate monohydrate and NaOH as raw materials. The structure of the Cu(II) complex was characterized by elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Cu(II) ion is six-coordinated with two N atoms from two pyridine groups of L ligand and four O atoms of four coordinated H2O molecules. The Cu(II) complex forms a 2D layered structure and 3D network structure by the interaction of O-H···O hydrogen bonds. The catalytic activities of the Cu(II) complex catalyst for benzyl alcohol oxidation were determined with molecular oxygen as oxidant.

A Cu(II) complex, [CuL2(Phen)] (1) (HL = 2-benzoylbenzoic acid, Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), has been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis indicated that the Cu(II) complex (1) belongs to the monoclinic system with P21/c space group, and a = 18.955(4) Å, b = 8.3618(17) Å, c = 27.890(8) Å, β = 131.635(18)°, V = 3303.8(15) Å3, Dc = 1.396 g·cm-3, the final R = 0.0505, wR2 = 0.1154 with I≥2σ (I). In Cu(II) complex, both the COO- group of L ligand and Phen ligand adopt bidentate coordination mode. The Cu(II) center is six-coordinated by two N atoms of one Phen ligand and four O atoms of two different L ligands, forming a distorted octahedral coordination environment. The Cu(II) complex (1) molecules forms a 1D chain structure by π-π stacking effect of neighboring benzene rings, and the 1D chains further form a 3D network structure. The catalytic activity of [CuL2(Phen)] (1) for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol has been tested with O2 as the oxidant.

A new Ca(II) coordination polymer has been obtained by reaction of Ca(ClO4)2·H2O with 3-amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid in CH3CH2OH/H2O. It was characterized by IR, 1HNMR, thermal analysis and X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. X-ray analysis reveals that each Ca(II) center is seven-coordination with a N2O5 distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination environment. The Ca(II) ions are linked through the O atoms of 3-amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid ligands to form 1D chain structure. And then a 3D network structure is constructed by hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking. The antitumor activity of 3-amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid ligand and its Ca(II) coordination polymer against human intestinal adenocarcinoma HCT-8 cells, lung adenocarcinoma HCT-116 cells and human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells line have been investigated.

Structural analysis shows that the Mg(II) center is six-coordination with a NO5 distorted octahedral coordination environment. The Mg(II) complex forms 1D chain structure by the interaction of hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking.

X-ray analysis reveals that the Zn(II) center is seven-coordination with a O7 distorted pengonal bipyramidal coordination environment. The Zn(II) complex molecules form 1D chain structure by the hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions. The antitumor activity of 1,2-phenylenedioxydiacetic acid ligand and its Zn(II) complex against human intestinal adenocarcinoma HCT-8 cells, lung adenocarcinoma HCT-116 cells and human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells line have been investigated.

A novel Mg(II) complex, [Mg(HL)2•(H2O)4]•4H2O•HCl (HL = 1,2-phenylenedioxydiacetato), has been synthesized by the reaction of 1,2-phenylenedioxydiacetic acid, NaOH and MgCl2•6H2O in one-pot.
