The reaction of the mercurated Schiff bases with tellurium tetrabromide in 1:1 and 2:1 mole ratio using dry chloroform as solvent gave the ortho-tellurated Schiff bases compounds ArTeBr3 and Ar2TeBr2, respectively, in good yields (where Ar = 5-ClC6H3N=CHC6H5, 5-BrC6H3N=CHC6H5, 5-CH3OC6H3N=CHC6H5, and 5-NO2C6H3N=CHC6H5). The reduction of ArTeBr3 by hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding ditelluride (i.e., Ar2Te2). Treatment of Ar2TeBr2 with hydrazine hydrate afforded tellurides (Ar2Te) in good yields. Attempts to prepare the corresponding aryl tellurenyl bromides, ArTeBr, by partial reduction of ArTeBr3 with various reducing agents were unsuccessful. All these new compounds were characterized by microanalysis, 1H, and 13C NMR, IR, and mass spectroscopic data. A computational study for the Te → N interactions of all compounds was calculated using the GAUSSIAN 03 program package. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reduction of ArTeBr3 gave the compounds Ar2Te2 in good yield; these were treated with chlorine to give ArTeCl3 in quantitive yield.

The reduction of (4-HOC6H4N=N-Ar)TeBr3 by hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding ditelluride (i.e., (4-HOC6H4N=N-Ar)2Te2). Treatment of (4-HOC6H4N=N-Ar)2TeBr2 with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding tellurides, (4-HOC6H4N=N-Ar)2Te), in good yields. The structures of all newly synthesized compounds were assigned on the basis of their elemental and spectroscopic data. The antibacterial activity of tellurated azo compounds along with mercurated azo compounds was tested with agar diffusion method against the bacteria strains Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The antibacterial activities of tellurated azo compounds were in some cases equal or better than those of the reference drug. The mercurated azo compounds were found to be the more antibacterial activity of than those of tellurated azo compounds. Graphical Abstract

All the salts are stable in solution in CHCl 3 or dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO). Conductivity measurements in DMSO and dimethylformamide (DMF) have shown that considerable ion pairing occurs in solution. Infrared, 1 H, 13 C, 125 Te NMR, and mass spectra are reported and discussed.

Phenylation of (C6H11CH2)2TeX2 with sodium tetraphenylborate gave di(cyclohexylmethyl)phenyltelluronium tetraphenylborate in good yield. Conductivity measurements in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) showed a considerable ionic character of these compounds and they behave as 1:1 electrolytes. 1H NMR studies in CDCl3 solution indicated that telluronium salts employed in this study are unstable toward reductive elimination. Reaction of di(cyclohexylmethyl)telluride, (C6H11CH2)2Te(CH3)I, and (C6H11CH2)2Te(PhCH2)Br with HgX2 (X = Cl or Br) afforded 1:1 complexes. All compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and spectroscopic data. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The structures of the new compounds were determined by elemental analyses, IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR and mass spectroscopic data. Reaction of 1-cyanoferrocene with sodium hydrogen selenide (NaHSe) in methanol gave the new ferrocenyl selenocarboxamide (11) in 27% yield. Treatment of compound 11 with a catalytic amount of Na-2[PdCl4] gave 3,5-diferrocenyl-1,2,4-selenadiazole in 35% yield. Both compounds were characterized elemental analyses and spectroscopic techniques. Compounds 1-10 and 12 were screened as antibacterial agents against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and showed promising properties.

Reaction of 1 and 2 with K2PtCl4 afforded the platinum(II) complexes 3 and 4, respectively in good yields. Silica-bound telluride-platinum complexes were directly synthesized from fumed silica, triethoxysilane and platinum complexes (i.e. 3 and 4). The catalytic activities of polysiloxane-supported platinum complexes were examined with 1-hexene, 1-decene and 1-dodecene at different temperature. It was found that these catalysts are efficient for hydrosilylation of olefins with triethoxysilane.

Treatment of 1 with hydrochloric acid gave bis(2-amino-1,1’-binaphthalene-2’-yl) ditelluride (2) in 65% yield. Reaction of 2 with phenylacetyl chloride and trimethylacetyl chloride gave bis(2-phenylacetylamino-1,1’-binaphthalene-2’-yl) ditelluride (3) and bis(2-trimethyl-acetylamino-1,1’-binaphthalene-2’-yl) ditelluride (4), respectively. (2-Acetylamino-1,1’-binaphthyl-2’-yl)tellurium tribromide (5) was prepared by reaction of 1 with bromine. Partial reduction of 5 gave the corresponding tellurenyl bromide (6) which in turn reacted with KCN to afford compound 1 in good yield. Alkaline hydrolysis of 1 or reduction of 5 and 6 with hydrazine hydrate in boiling ethanol gave bis (2-acetylamino-1,1’-binaphthalene-2’-yl) ditelluride (7) in good yield.

All compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, and mass spectroscopic data. Attempts to prepare hydroxyapatite (HAp) supported rhodium catalyst by using different methods were unsuccessful. Complexes [RhCl(CO)2((4-R-C6H4)2S)], [RhCl(CO)2((4-R-C6H4)2Se)] and [RhCl(CO)2((4-R-C6H4)2Te), where R= CH3 or Br], were evaluated as catalysts for hydrosilylation of allyl phenyl ether and 1-decene. They showed good catalytic activities for hydrosilylation of alkenes with triethoxysilane.

All compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli by using the disk diffusion technique. The antibacterial activity of these compounds was dependent on the molecular structure of the compounds, and the bacterial strain under consideration.

Structures of the synthesised compounds (7a-7e) were characterised using FT-IR, NMR (1 H, 13 C) and elemental analysis. The anti bacterial activities of the synthesised compounds were evaluated against gram positive bacteria: Staph and Streptococcus, gram negative bacteria: E-coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, and pseudomonas using 200 µl of 10 mg/ml and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were also determined. The compounds exhibited effective anti bacterial properties though some are not more active than the standard drug ciprofloxacin.
