Abstract

The association constants and Gibbs free energies for CuCl2 with (E)-3-(2-benzylidene hydrazinyl)-3-oxo-N-(thiazol-2-yl)propanamide (H2BH) had been calculated by using the conductometric titration curves in absolute ethanol at 294.15 K. New equation was applied to determine the association constant for 1:2 asymmetric salts. Different stoichiometric complexes were obtained on drawing the relation between (/\m) and (M:L). The association free energies that were evaluated for CuCl2-ligand complexes were small and spontaneous indicating electrostatic attraction force. The formation constants and Gibbs free energies of different complexes follow that order: Kf (2:1) › Kf (1:1) › Kf (1:2) for (M:L), and ΔGf (2:1) › ΔGf (1:1) › ΔGf (1:2) for (M:L).

Keywords: Association Constants, Formation Constants, Gibbs Free Energies, Stoichiometric Complexes, Copper Chloride , Benzylidene Hydazinyl Propanamide

1. Introduction

Recently, there has been growing interest in the development of ligands that are able to effectively and selectively bind metal ions through multiple non-covalent interactions[1]. Iron, copper and zinc from ions which involved in metalloproteins. For example, metallo-enzymes belong to a subclass of metalloproteinase which perform a specific catalytic function. There are three known classes of dioxygen transport proteins involved in respiration: the haemoglobin- myoglobin family, haemocyanines and hemerythrins. These metal ions may differ from one organism to another[1], The concentrations of metal ions are very important for the normal function of biological systems. An excess of Cu(II) and Fe(II) may include thalaseamia disease[1].
The aim of this work the evaluation the non-covalent behaviour of CuCl2 with (E)-3-(2-benzylidene hydrazinyl)-3- oxo-N-(thiazol-2-yl)propanamide (H2BH) in absolute ethanol solutions at 294.15 K. These non-covalent interactions can help us for analysis of salts in bodies and environnement[1]. Evaluation of individual ionic molar volumes[2], preferential salvation of drugs[3] partial molar volumes[4], ligands used for selective metal extraction 5, ionic solvation6,potntiometric study 7 and specific solvation 8 are some trends of this area of physical inorganic chemistry.

2. Experimental

2.1. Material and Methods

All manipulations were performed under aerobic conditions. The copper chloride salt and absolute ethanol used were pure (Merck).

2.2. Preparation of the Ligand

(E)-3-(2-benzylidene hydrazinyl)-3-oxo-N-(thiazol-2-yl) propanamide (H2BH) (Structure 1) was prepared by heating a mixture of 3-hydrazinyl-oxo-N-(thiazole-2-) propanamide (0.01 mol; 2.00 g) and benzaldehyde (0.01 mol; 1.06 g) under reflux in absolute ethanol for 3 h. On heating, white crystals were formed, filtered off, washed and recrystallized from absolute ethanol (M.P.: 230 oC; yield 80%). The purity of the compound was checked by TLC.

The conductometric titration of the ligand (1x10-4) mole/L against CuCl2 (1x10-4) mole/L in absolute ethanol was performed with 0.5 ml interval additions from CuCl2 solution, as explained in previous papers[9-11]. The specific conductance values were recorded using conductivity bridge HANNA, H1 8819N with a cell constant equal to one. The conductometer was connected to ultra thermostat of the type Kottermann 4130. The temperature was adjusted at 294.15 K.

3. Results and Discussion

The specific conductance values (Ks) of different concentrations of CuCl2 in absolute ethanol were measured experimentally in absence and presence of ligand at 294.15 K. From the specific conductance, the molar conductance (/\m) were calculated by using equation (1)[12]:

Where (Ks) and (Ksolv) are the specific conductance of solution and solvent, respectively; (Kcell) is the cell constant and (C) is the molar concentration of the CuCl2 solutions. The limiting molar conductance (/\o) at infinite dilutions were estimated for CuCl2 in absolute ethanol in absence and presence of the ligand (H2BH), by extrapolating the relation between (/\m) and (Cm½) to zero concentration (Fig. 1). By drawing the relation between molar conductance (/\m) and the molar ratio of metal to ligand concentrations, different lines are obtained with sharp breaks indicating the formation of 1:2, 1:1 and 2:1 (M:L) stoichiometric complexes (Fig. 2).

The experimental data of (/\m) and (/\o) were analyzed for the determination of association and formation constants for each type of the stoichiometric complexes. The association constants of CuCl2 in the presence of ligand (H2BH) in absolute ethanol at 294.15 K for 1:2 asymmetric electrolytes were calculated by using equation (2)[13, 14].

Where (/\m, /\0) are the molar and limiting molar conductance of CuCl2; (Cm) is molar Concentration of CuCl2 and S (Z) is Fuoss-Shedlovsky factor and equal approximately one for strong electrolytes[15]. The calculated association constants are shown in Table 1. The Gibbs free energies of association (ΔGA) were calculated from the association constant[15,16] by applying equation (3):

Where (R) is the gas constant (8.341 J) and (T) is the absolute temperature (294.15 K). The calculated Gibbs free energies were presented in Table 1.

The formation constants (Kf) for CuCl2 complexes were calculated for each type of complexes (1:2), (1:1) and (2:1) (M:L) by using equation (4)[17, 18]:

Where (/\m) is the molar conductance of the CuCl2 before addition of the ligand, (/\obs) is the molar conductance of solution during titration and (/\ML) is the molar conductance of the complex.
The obtained values (Kf) for CuCl2-ligand stoichiometric complexes are represented in Table 2-4. Also the Gibbs free energies of formation for each stoichiometric complexes were calculated by using the equation (5):
(5)
The calculated ΔGf values are represented in Tables 2-4. The association free energies evaluated for CuCl2-ligand complexes are small and spontaneous indicating electrostatic attraction force. The formation constants and Gibbs free energies of different complexes in absolute ethanol at 294.15 K follow that order: Kf (2:1) › Kf (1:1) › Kf (1:2) for (M:L), and ΔGf (2:1) › ΔGf (1:1) › ΔGf (1:2) for (M:L).
The formation of 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2 complexes indicate that H2BH acts as flexi dentate ligand (Structures 2-4).

While, The formation constants and Gibbs free energies of different complexes follow that order: Kf (2:1) › Kf (1:1) › Kf (1:2) for (M:L), and ΔGf (2:1) › ΔGf (1:1) › ΔGf (1:2) for (M:L)
