Potintiometric and Thermodynamic Studies of Some Divalent Metal Ion Complexes with a New Schiff Base Hydrazone Containing Quinoline Moiety Noura H. AL-Sha'alan1, Mostafa El-Behery2* and Gaozaa El-Nawmosy1 ABSTRACT Metal complexes of some divalent metal ions (Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Cd, and Zn) with a new hydrazone Schiff base consisting of 7-chloro-4-(o-hydroxybenzilidenehydrazo)-quinoline, were investigated potentiometrically and spectrophotometrically and found to have stoichiometric formulae 1:1 and 1:2 (M:L). Formation constants of the proton-ligand and metal-ligand complexes were determined potentiometrically at different temperatures (10, 20, 30 and 40 oC) and 0.05 mol dm-3, ionic strength (KNO3) in 75 % (v/v) ethanol-water mixture. The standard thermodynamic parameters viz. G o , H o , and S o , for the proton-ligand and the stepwise metal-ligand complexes were evaluated. Thermodynamic functions were analyzed in terms of the electrostatic (el) and non-electrostatic (cratic, c) components. H co was found to be linearly correlated with the acceptor number of the metal ion ( ANM ), whereas H elo was linearly correlated with the ionic radii of the metal ion. Electronic, IR, and 1 H NMR spectra were used to characterize the free ligand, HL. Formation constants, and analytical applications of the ligand complexes with Co(II), and Ni(II) ions were also evaluated and studied. The constant values obtained from spectrophotometric studies are found to be consistent with those obtained from potentiometric studies. The study was performed also for Fe(III)-complex. Keywords: dissociation; stability constants; thermodynamic parameters; Schiff base hydrazone 1- INTRODUCTION * Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Numerous hydrazone Schiff base compounds containing quinoline moiety are well known in natural materials and show interesting biological and antiviral activities1-3. Many derivatives of hydrazon compounds form coloured complexes with different metal ions and can be used as analytical reagents for their determinations4-9. The coordination compounds of aroylhydrazones have been reported to act as enzyme inhibitors10 and are useful due to their pharmacological applications11-13. Hydrazones derived from condensation of isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) with pyridine aldehydes have been found to show better antitubercular activity than INH14,15. It is believed that ligands containg different donor atoms like O – N type form more stable complexes than either O – O or N – N types16. We have previously investigated and reported the physicochemical properties of the solid complexes of the Schiff base hydrazone ligand, 7-chloro-4-(o-hydroxybenzilidenehydrazo)-quinoline, which contains an O –N ligand system and forms stable solid coloured complexes with transition metal ions17. This aim of this work is to study the complex formation of such a Schiff base hydrazone ligand with Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Cd, Zn and Fe(III) in an ethanol–water mixture using potentiometric and spectroscopic methods to throw light on their composition, structures and analytical applications. Thermodynamics parameters are computed and analyzed in order to investigate the bond character between the metal ligand. 2. EXPERIMENTAL 2.1. Reagents and Materials All chemicals used were of Anal. Grade and the solutions of metal nitrates of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), Cd(II), Zn(II) and Fe(III) ions were prepared in carbonate free double distilled water and they were standardized using EDTA titrations18. The HL ligand was prepared as described previously17. The structure of the ligand was elucidated by IR, Mass, 1H-NMR and electronic (UV-VIS) spectroscopy, as well as micro analytical analyses17. The results have been previously published17and weighed quantity of the ligand was dissolved in 75% (v/v) ethanol-water medium. Ethanol was freshly refluxed and distilled over magnesium powder and iodine18. 2.2. Potentiometric measurements 2 A Hanna pH-meter Model 302 digital with conventional pH-electrode assembly was used for pH measurements at 10, 20, 30 and 40oC. The ionic strength of the medium was kept virtually constant at 0.05 mol dm-3 with KNO3 as background electrolyte. The temperature was maintained constant by use of double-jacket cells with water circulated from a constanttemperature bath. Purified nitrogen gas was bubbled through the solution before and during the titrations. Multiple titrations were carried out for each system.. The pH meter readings were recorded6-9. Electronic absorption spectra of the free ligand and its complexes in 75 % (v/v) ethanol–water mixture were recorded using a Shimadzu Model Uv-probe spectrophotometer. The compositions of the complexes in solutions were determined by the mole ratio method19,20. The pH-metric titrations in 75 % (v/v) ethanol–water of the free ligand and its mixtures with the metal ions were carried out as described previously6-9. Using equations of Irving and Rossoti21 the curves were used to calculate the formation constants of the following equilibria. M2+ + HL and ML+ + HL ML+ + H+ ML2 + H+ The experimental reading were used to calculate the values of n and pL . From which the stability constant log K1 and log K 2 were calculated with the help of the following equations given by Irving and Rossotti(21). n log K 1 pL 1 n n 1 log log K 2 pL 2n log The metal-ligand constant was obtained using linear plot method by plotting log n 1 2n log n 1 n or against pL. Where n is defined by Irving and Rossitti21 as the average number of the reagent molecules attached per metal ions. It can be obtained from the following relations n (V3 V2) ( N 0 E 0 ) (V 0 V2 )n ATC M0 and n 1 1 0 anti log pH . V V3 TC L0 n TC M0 V0 n pL log 10 n 0 H 3 where V2 and V3 are the volumes of alkali required to reach the same pH value, Vo is the total volume of titrating mixture, No and Eo are the concentration of the alkali and the initial concentration of free acid, respectively, TC0L and TC0M are the total concentration of ligand and metal ion, respectively and pL, is the free ligand exponent. The experimental reading were used to calculate the values of n and pL . From which the stability constant log K1 and log K 2 were calculated with the help of the following equations given by Irving and Rossotti(21). The variations of pK H , log K1 , and log K2 vs. 1/ T gave straight lines which enable us to calculate the thermodynamic parameters G o , H o , and S o of the complex formation by the Vant Hoff equation and other relationships22. Conductemetric titrations were carried out at room temperature by titrating 30 ml metal ion solution (1x10-3 mol dm-3) with the ligand solution (1x10-2 mol dm-3) as titrant using WTWD-812 Weilneium-conductivity meter, model LBR, fitted with a cell model LTA 100. 2.2. Preparation and characterization of the organic ligand The structure of the ligand was elucidated by IR, Mass, 1H-NMR and electronic (UV-VIS) spectroscopy, as well as micro analytical analyses17. The mass spectra showed molecular ion peaks at m/z: 297 corresponding to the molecular weight of the HL ligand. Also, the base peaks were observed at m/z 178 and no meta-stable ions were observed. The electronic absorption of HL in 75 % (v/v) ethanol-water mixture within the region 200600 nm displayed absorption bands at 208 and 224 nm assigned for -* transitions within the aromatic and quinoline rings, respectively. The band observed at 276 nm would be due to the n-* transition of the C=N group. The absorption bands at 382 and 404 assigned for CT transitions. The band at 404 nm encroaches on the visible region21 and impact the ligand its colour. The IR spectrum of the ligand shows a strong band at 3530 cm-1 assigned to OH of the phenolic group. The stretching vibration of NH group appears as weak bands at 3300 cm-1. The spectrum shows also vibrational bands at 1605, 1600 and 1140, 1130 cm-1 which are assigned for s and as of the C=N and N-N groups, respectively. The deformation vibration, 4 , of the phenolic OH group appears at 1278 cm-1. The vibrational band observed at 2570 cm-1 is assigned to the intramolecular hydrogen bonding17. Finally, the chemical shift (δppm) data extracted from the 1H-NMR spectrum of the ligand in DMSO-d6 are summarized in a previous study17. These data together with the data derived from the elemental analyses, IR, mass and electronic spectra confirmed the structure given for these ligand17. 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1. Dissociation and Formation Constants The potentiometric titration curves of HL in presence or absence of the studied metal ions are shown in Fig. 1. The values of the dissociation constant of the free ligand, pK H , was determined by the Albert–Serjeant method23 while the formation constants of its metal complexes were determined by the Irving-Rossotti method21 Only one proton dissociates between a = 0.0 and a = 1.0 (a = number of moles of base / mole of ligand), suggesting that it behaves as mono-protic species (HL). The values of the pK H , formation constants, as well as the thermodynamic parameters in 75 % (v/v) ethanol-water mixture are given in Table 1. 5 Table 1.

However, similar conclusion for similar ligands was obtained24,25. The pK H value obtained for HL, in 75 % (v/v) ethanol-water at 30 oC is close to that reported in the literature13 for similar ligand under similar experimental conditions. The order of basicity, pK sH , (Table 2), in 75 % (v/v) different mixed solvents (ethanol- water, acetone–water and isopropanol–water) is as follows; acetone-water > isopropanol-water > ethanol-water in contrast with the order of the dielectric constants of the organic solvents which is, ethanol > acetone > isopropanol. Gregely26 indicated that some solvent molecules (dioxan) progressively breakdown the hydrogen bonded structure of water molecules whereas other can form hydrogen bonded (methanol) association with water. Thus, it is expected that the extent of hydrogen bonding in alcohol-water is greater than acetone-water. This may affect the measured pK sH values. The pH-metric titration curves (Fig. 1) in the case of Mn(II) showed a sharp inflection at m = 1.0 (m = number of moles of KOH added / mole of metal ion) corresponding to the formation of the 1:1 MnL+ complex. This could be represented by the following equilibrium: 2+ Mn + HL + - + OH MnL + H2O (at m = 1.0) Such feature does not observed with other metal cations, where there was only one overlapping buffer region between m = 0.0 to 2.0 corresponding to the formation of bis-chelated 1M : 2L. This could be represented by the following equilibrium. M n+ Table 2. + 2HL +n-2 - + OH ML2 + 2H2O (at m = 2.0) pK sH values of the HL ligand in 75% (v/v) solvent-water and the Dielectric constants (D) of the solvents at 30 oC Solvent-water at 30 oC ethanol acetone Isopropanol D pK H 24.3 20.7 18.3 10.53 10.99 10.79 7 It should be mentioned that calculation of formation constant log K1 for Cu(II)complex was not succeeded due to precipitation of the metal hydroxide at the beginning of the titration, and since the maximum n < 1.0. The lower stability of the Fe(III)-complex, (Table 1), could be explained by the interaction of two ligand molecule to form [Fe(L2)]+ hindered the introduction of a third one which may lead to lower the stability. However log K 3 was not measured. The variation of log K1 vs. pK H is shown in Fig. 2, where a linear relation was obtained. This linearity reflects the similarity of the ionic nature of the metal-ligand interaction27. The data in Table 1 shows that log K 2 for the complexes is somewhat larger than log K1 . This indicates a strong trans-effect for the second coordination28,29. This trans-effect was also supported by the given thermodynamic where it was found that H1>H2 which is related to the bond strengths in these complexes. The order of stability constants, log K1 , at 30 oC for HL- complexes is as follow Ni(II) > Co(II) > Cd(II) > Zn(II) >Mn(II) > Fe(III) 3.2. Effect of Temperature The dissociation constants of the ligand pK H , as well as the stability constants of its metal complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Cd(II), Zn(II) and Fe(III) ions in 75 % (v/v) ethanol-water were evaluated at 10, 20, 30, and 40 oC. The slope of the plot ( pK H or log K vs. 1/ T ) was utilized to calculate the enthalpy change (H) for the dissociation or complexation process, respectively, and given in Table 1. From the free energy change (G) and the enthalpy change (H), the entropy change (S) can be calculated using the well-known relationships: d log K / dt H o / 4.57T G 2.303RT log K G o H o TS o 8 Tables 1 reveals that: (i) The pK H value of the free ligand decrease with increasing temperature indicating that the acidity of the ligand increases with increasing temperature, i.e., a higher temperature favours the dissociation or ionization process. (ii) On the basis of (i), a positive value of H would be expected indicating that the dissociation process is accompanied by the absorption of heat and it is endothermic process. (iii) The large positive value of G indicates that the dissociation process is non spontaneous. (iv) The large negative values of S of the dissociation process indicate that the ionization of the ligand is entropically unfavourable. (v) The large positive values of S of the complexation process indicate that the complex formation is entropically favourable and the mechanism of complexation is based on hydrogen ion (H+) liberation and the release of water28 (vi) The negative values of both G and H of the complexation process indicate that the complexation process proceeds spontaneously and exothermically, i.e., the complex formation is enthalpically favourable. A Similar observation have been reported by Abdel-Moez et al30. In general, the positive values of S for all the complex systems are consistent with the hypothesis that a large number of water molecules are released upon complexation with the probability of a change of the coordination number28. This was supported by the values of H, where it was found that -H1>-H2 for the complexes, except for Zn(II) and Cd(II)-complexes. The lower negative values of -H2 were taken as an evidence for a change in the dentate characters from tridentate, (ONN-donors in the 1:1 complexes to bidentate (ON-donors) in the 1:2, M:L, complexes, whereby the steric hindrance in the 1:2 species is relieved. Similar observations were obtained by Evans et al31. For Zn(II) and Cd(II)-complexes, where -H1 < -H2, This can be considered as an evidence for the trans-effect28,29 of the second coordination. It is convenient to analyze any thermodynamic function X o (X = Go; Ho, and So) into two parts: a) X c0 (critic, non-electrostatic part), a temperature-independent component intrinsic to the molecules or ions and arising out of short range or covalent forces insensitive to the environment, b) X el0 , a temperature-dependent part, owing to the interaction of the dipoles or ions with long-range electrostatic forces of the solvent medium; then 9 X 0 X el0 X co and calculated according to the following equations36. Gnon nRT ln M Rca ; Gel Rc exp (T / ) H non Rca ; H el Rc (1 T / ) exp (T / ) S non nRT ln M ; S el ( Rc / ) exp (T / ) G nRT ln M Rc (a exp (T / ) ) H Rc[a (1 T / ) exp (T / ) ] S nRT ln M ( Rc / ) exp (T / ) Where is a temperature characteristic of solvent (=219 K); M is the number of moles contained in 1000 g of water (=55.5); C and a constants(36). The separation of thermodynamic parameters into temperature-dependent and temperature-independent was first suggested by Gurney32 for proton ionization reactions and has been extended to metal complexes formation by Anderegg33 and Nancollas34. The nature of temperature dependence X el0 can be approximated from the Born model35. Table 3 summarizes the temperature-dependent and temperature-independent data. which were calculated as described above36. According to some authors,35,36 electrostatic (el) or environment components represent longe-rang electrostatic forces depending on the environment and temperature; while non-electrostatic (non) or critic components represent short-ramge or quantum mechanical forces; insensitive to the environment and independent of o temperature. Also, H non arises from changes in the ligand field stabilization (LFS) accompanying complex formation34. o As seen from Table 3, H non has high negative values while H elo has positive values o and, since H non reflects the covalent nature of the formed complexes, the expected o degree of covalency exists in such systems. Also, Gelo >> Gnon for all complex 10 indicating that the complexation process is highly influenced by the temperature and environment (medium). Table 3.

It is known that the X c0 values reflect the covalency of the bonding and the structural changes on complexation36. Regarding the covalency, X c0 increases according to the order Ni(II), Co(II), Cd(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Fe(III). This order is in a good agreement with the softness of the metal ions37. The observed entropy changes, S 0 , are, however, positive due to the large positive contribution of the temperature-dependent part S el0 , which reflects the release of bounded water molecules from the hydrated ions on complex formation. The increase of the value of S 0 results in an increased endothermicity of H el0 and hence a lower observed exothermic change in H 0 . The plot of m (electronegativity of metal ion) against the logarithm of the overall formation constant ( log K1 K 2 ) (Fig. 3) shows a linear relationship with the exception of the Fe(II) complexes. It may be inferred that the stability of the metal complexes increases with increasing the m values and consequently the metal-ligand bond would be more covalent. This interpretation is supported by the linear correlation between H c vs. m (Fig. 4). On the other hand, the covalency character of these 11 complexes can be concluded from the linear correlation of H c vs. AN M of the cations (Fig 5). This agrees well with similar conclusions cited by Linert38, Van Uitert39 and Selbin40. It is known that a softer metal ion has a greater affinity for a softer donor41. In Fig. 6, o the values of H non are plotted against the quantity E n# , introduced by Klopman42 as a measure of the softness of a metal ion in solution. A soft metal ion is characterized by a large negative value of E n# and vice versa. As can seen from Fig. 6, a linear correlation with a number of scattered points (for the Ni(II), Mn(II) and Cd(II)o complexes) was obtained. In general, H non increases with the softness of the metal ion. The metal-ligand interactions can be divided into two groups; (i) those of nickel and cobalt which have high affinities for N-donor atoms and (ii) those of manganese, zinc and cadmium with intermediate affinities for both N- and O-donor atoms43. This is consistent with the above linear correlation with some scattered points (Fig. 3). 3.3. Conductemetric Titration To obtain meaningful information about the composition of the prepared complexes, conductometric titrations were performed. The technique has in common the fact that the measured quantity is directly proportional to the concentration of one or more of the ions of interest. If the reaction between the metal ions and the complexing titrant (ligand) is essentially complete, a titration curve is obtained that consists of two or more straight, or nearly straight, line segments intersecting at the equivalence point (the stoichiometric ratio) of the complex formed44. The conductogram of HL is shown in Fig. 7. It is clear that the conductance value of the metal ion solution increases steadily as the ligand solution is added. The increasing continues until the equivalence point of the titration. The behavior obtained is attributed to the replacement of some ions by complex molecules with different mobility values. With the next drop of added titrant, the ligand remains unreacted and a slight increase is sometimes observed due to the accumulation of excess ligand solution. The conductogram 12 exhibit two obvious slopes, suggesting that the probable stoichiometric ratios of the complexes are M:L and M:2L. 3.4. Spectroscopic Measurements Stoichiometry of the complexes under investigation was determined spectrophotometrically by applying the mole ratio method45. This method was measured at pH 8.0 and = 420 nm for Co(II) and Ni(II)-HL complexes, in 75 (v/v) % ethanol-water mixture, µ = 0.05 mol dm-3 (KNO3) using reference ligand a) [Ni(II)] = 6 × 10-5 mol dm-3 and [HL] = 2 × 10-5 - 2 × 10-4 mol dm-3. Analysis of the data at various wavelengths proved that Co(II), and Ni(II) ions form two main complex species with stoichiometric ratios of 1 : 1 and 1:2 n(M) : n(L) (Fig. 8). Under the optimum conditions, using a constant concentration of HL(1×10-3 mol dm3 ) and varying Co(II), and Ni(II) concentrations in ethanol–water mixture, it was found that the system obeys Beer's law within the metal concentration range 1 1×10-52×10-4 mol dm-3 for Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes. The molar absorptivity () values at 500 nm for Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes were 8.0×103 dm3 mol-1 cm.-1, and 1.4×104 dm3 mol-1 cm-1, respectively, indicating that HL can be readily utilized as a sensitive reagent for micro analytical determination of cobalt(II), and nickel(II) (Fig. 9). CONCLUSION (i) The ligand behaves as monobasic (monoprotic) species (HL) towards the metal ions as evidenced from the titration curves. (ii) The maximum n values were found to be 2, revealing that both ML and ML2 species are formed in solution. (iii) For all complexes, log K2 > log K1 indicating that the vacant sites of the metal ions are more freely available for the binding of two ligand molecules (iv) More stable complexes, will be formed with: – hard-hard or soft-soft interactions of the metal ions and the ligand. – higher charges and small sizes of the metal ions. – high basicity of the ligand. 13 – lower temperatures. This is consistent with exothermic complexation. (v) The dissociation process is non-spontaneous, endothermic and entropically unfavourable while the complexation (chelation) process is spontaneous, exothermic and entropically favourable.
