A dinuclear double end-on azido bridged Ni(II) complex [Ni 2 L 2 (μ-1,1 -N 3 ) 2 (N 3 ) 2 ] (1) with the condensation product of 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde and trimethylammonium acetohydrazide chloride (Girard's T reagent) (HLCl) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements and DFT studies. In complex 1 intra-dimer ferromagnetic coupling between Ni 2+ ions (J = +12.0(2) cm -1 ) and inter-dimer antiferromagnetic interaction (δ = -0.8(3) cm -1 ) were observed. DFT-BS calculations provided explanation of ferromagnetic exchange coupling in complex 1.

Two Zn(II) complexes with the condensation product of 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde and trimethylammonium acetohydrazide chloride (Girard's T reagent) (HLCl) and monodentate pseudohalides (azide and cyanate) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In both complexes, the coordination surroundings of the Zn(II) ions consist of a deprotonated hydrazone ligand coordinated through an NNO set of donor atoms and two monodentate pseudohalides (N 3or NCO -) at the remaining coordination sites. The Zn(II) complexes showed low to moderate activity against laboratory control strains of pathogenic bacteria and fungi.

Crystal structures, magnetic properties and DFT study of cobalt(II) azido complexes with the condensation product of 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde and Girard's T reagent,

The chloro (1) and isocyanato (2) Cd(II) complexes with the condensation product of 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde and trimethylammonium acetohydrazide chloride (Girard's T reagent) (HLCl) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of chloro Cd(II) complex (1) was determined. In 1 and 2, coordination surrounding of Cd(II) consists of deprotonated hydrazone ligand coordinated through NNO-donor atoms and two monodentates at the rest of the coordination places. Quantum-chemical calculations of the molecular structures and the relative stabilities of linkage isomers of the Cd(II) complex showed that the isomer with N-Cd-N coordination of OCNis the most stable. The investigated Cd(II) complexes showed lower activity than standard antimicrobial drugs.
