ABSTRACT
Two novel acylpyrazolone ligands; (1-(5- hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1-H-pyrazol-4-yl) pentan-1-one (HMPPp) and 1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1-H-pyrazol-4-yl) nonadecan-1-one (HMPPn) were synthesized by reacting pentanoyl chloride with 3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one and nonadecanoyl chloride with 3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one respectively. Fe(III), Mn(II), and Ti(III) metal complexes of both ligands were also synthesized. The ligands and complexes were characterized based on elemental analysis, IR, 1HNMR and 13CNMR spectroscopy. Physical properties such as colour, melting points and solubility profile were also determined for both the ligands and the complexes. The ligandscomplexed through its C=O and deprotonated hydroxyl group. The CO-M and O-M bond stretching frequencies of the metal complexes were compared with that of the ligand. The result showed that, increase in electron density; caused the bond length to increase and consequently the vibrational frequencies were shifted upfield. The ligand and its metal complexes studied are not ionic in nature. The solubility data showed that the complexes are soluble in organic solvents. Furthermore the result on the antimicrobial of the ligand as well as the metal complexes against three gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtillsand Streptococcus aureus), three gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and threefungals which include Aspergilusniger, candida albicansandSacharomycescerevisiae showed that they are biologically active and there activity has been attributed to the presence of anazomethane and hydroxyl group in the pyrazolone ring. The study on the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of both ligands (HMPPp and HMPPn) and their complexes showed that there were growths of inhibition in all the microbes inoculated at 0.1 and 0.025 μg/ml.From the studies, it was observed that the metal ions under investigation can be sequestrated using these ligands. However, the zones of inhibition of the complexes were observed to be remarkably higher than those of the ligands. The result on the solvent extraction showed that pH level values of 3 – 4.5 favoured the extraction of the metal by the ligands, and remained valid up to pH levels of 4.5. Also the average logarithms of the equilibrium constant (Kex) values for the metals at the different extractant concentrations at a constant pH of 4 showed that the ligands are more efficient in the recovery of Mn(II) > Fe(III) > Ti(III) from their aqueous solutions.

BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Coordination Chemistry refers to the
chemistry of compounds or complexes formed by Lewis acids (usually metals)
bonded to Lewis bases (usually inorganic ions or molecules, or organic
molecules, or their ions) through the donation of lone pair electrons, (Geoffrey,
2010). These coordination compounds or complexes are ionic or neutral in
nature, containing central metal ions/atoms closely surrounded by electron
donor groups called ligands or coordinating agents (Geoffrey, 2010). In this
regards, the coordinating agents (or complexing agents) must have at least an
available free electron pair on a single or more donor atoms, while the orbital
system of the central metal atom (M), must be of the right energy and capable
of accepting the pair of electron from the ligand to form coordinate covalent
bond between itself and the ligand (L). A complex metal ion of the type, [M(H2O)6]n+,
is an example of a coordination compound
because M is bonded to water molecules by coordinate covalent bond. The ligand
(H2O) provides the electron pairs that are shared between it and the
central metal atom (M). The term, complex, is
used not only for the common ions such as [Co(H2O)6]3+,
[Ag (NH3)2]+, [Cd (CN)4]2-,
[PbI4]2- and uncharged species like Pt(NH3)2Cl2,
but also for other types of coordination compounds and species such as the
ions, BF4-, PO43-, ClO4-,
etc. Each metal atom (or ion) has a characteristic maximum number of coordinate
bonds it can form directly with the donor atoms under normal conditions. This
number is called the Coordination Number (CN). Coordination number therefore,
is the maximum number of donor atoms that coordinate or bond directly to the
central metal ion (Mn+) at any point in time. Coordination numbers
of 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 are the most common and useful.
Coordination compounds have been seen to play
crucial role in medical cum biological processes. According to Wagnet and Nadia
(2017), many organic compounds used in medicine do not have a purely organic mode
of action, some are trigered or biologically-activated by metal ion metabolism.
Inorganic compounds of pyrazolone and its derivatives have so far been proven
to be highly active against microbial activities.(Wagnat
& Nadia, 2017)
Pyrazolone (C3H4N2O)
is a five-membered ring lactam derivative of pyrazole (C3H4N2)
that has a keto (C=O) group.

That
is, when any of the 3, 4, 5 positions of carbon in pyrazole has double bonded
oxygen atom attached, pyrazolone is obtained, hence, pyrazol-3-one,
pyrazol-4-one and pyrazol-5-one respectively.
Pyrazolones
are versatile reagents and can become potent drugs in pharmaceutical practice. They
have strong anti-fungal, antihistamic and analgesic properties (Wagnat &
Nadia, 2017). They are also applied in hydrometallurgy and water treatment (Ehirim,
2018).Substituted pyrazolones, such as substituted 2-pyrazolin-5–ones, have
been shown to play essential roles as substructures in a wide range of
medicines, agrochemicals, dyes, pigments, and chelating agents. According to Ekekweet al., (2012), a number of substituted
pyrazolones have been used as reagents in inorganic analysis. Uzoukwu (1995),
in Ehirim (2019), asserts that antipyrine (1–phenyl–2,3–dimethyl–pyrazolone-5),
4–isopropyl-antipyrine and 1–phenyl–3–methyl–pyrazolone–5 (acylpyrazolone) have
been widely mentioned in literature for the detection and determination of
various cations.
Many
reactions involved in processing minerals in aqueous solution lead to metal
complex formation. In most of these processes, complex formation has been found
to improve reaction kinetics and metal recovery (Halil et al., 2015). Formation of coordination complexes in
hydrometallurgical processes has been very common among other processes, such
as leaching, solvent extraction, ion exchange, flotation and electroplating (Baba
and Adekola, 2011). It has been suggested that in electroplating, electrolyte
baths having complex ions in solution provide the most effective and efficient
plating characteristics and good quality deposits of uniform thickness. In some
operations, such as solvent extraction and ion exchange, complex formation is
just a pre-requisite (Wail, 2013).
In
this regard, acylpyrazolone ligands have been used as metal extractors or
chelating reagents in the spectroscopic determination of metals in traces
(Al-Zoubi et al., 2016); and numerous
studies on its syntheses, characterization, metal complexation, and various
applications have appeared in the literature. Due to a number of valuable
properties of these complexes, such as high extracting ability, intense color
of the complex extracts, and low solubility of the complexes in some solvents,
these reactions are widely used in analytical chemistry for the determination
and isolation of almost all metal ions. Furthermore, formation of complexes with
acylpyrazolones is applied in the separation of elements with simillar
properties, i.e. lanthanides, coinage metals, actinides, early transition
metals, etc, (Teng et al., 2012). A
study by Ehirim et al., 2014 revealed
that 4-acylpyrazol-5-ones, as modified β-diketones, are able to extract metal
ions at lower pH values than open-chain β–diketones. They therefore offer the
possibility of avoiding the pH region where hydrolysis of the metal ions takes
place (Chang et al., 2011). Uzoukwu and
Adiukwu studied the extraction of chromium (VI) metal ion from aqueous
solutions of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-butyrylpyrazolone-5 (HBuP), theirstudies
revealed that a solution of HBuP in chloroform-butanol is a more efficient
organic extractant than solutions of the ligand in methyl isobutylketone (MIBK)
or chloroform.
According to Wagnat
& Nadia, (2017), acylpyrazolone
have been described as prominent analytical reagents and potent drugs or
pharmaceutical agents; having strong anti-fungal, antihistamic and analgesic
properties. AlsoBurham et al., (2019) accounts that
acylpyrazolone can be applied as both NMR shift reagents and FESER materials, they
are also applied in hydrometallurgy, water treatment,and used in metal extraction and construction of
ion-exchange resins for metal ions,
Akinremi (2012), opined that the presence of a
metal increases the biological activitits of many drugsand ligands. So far,
acylpyrazolones has shown to axhibit or possess many chemical properties. To
this end, it has become important to generate an acypyrazolone based compounds
and its corresponding metal complex to study its biological activities and
solvent extraction.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
Although pyrazolones have received remarkable
attention in the area of pharmacautical chemistry (Vasilii, 2021). Research has shown that many pyrazoline
derivatives were previously associated with side effects such as
agranulocytosis, bodyrashes and blood dyskaryosis (Mojzych, 2021). As a result progress was haultedfor sometime. But
due to the importance of pyrazolones, newer and novel pyrazolone derivative
with less tocity are on high demand.
Alsoan environmental problem such as heavy
metal contaminations has become a pertinent issue that needs attention. Due to
their toxicity to soil, plants aquatic life and human health at high
concentration metal axtraction has becom the center of attraction to
researchers.
Hence the need to synthesize newer and novel
pyrazolone derivative with less tocity is required.
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF
THE STUDY
The aim of this work
is to investigate the synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial and
solvent extraction activities, of two novel pyrazolone ligands;1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) pentan-1-one (HMPPp)
and 1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) nonadecan-1-one (HMPPn) ligands and their Mn(II),
Fe(III) and Ti(III) metal complexes.
The aim was achieved
through the following specific objectives
1.
Synthesis of two novel pyrazolone ligands; (1-(5-
hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) pentan-1-one (HMPPp) and
1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) nonadecan-1-one (HMPPn) ligands
2.
Synthesis of Mn(II), Fe(III) and
Ti(III) metal complexes of the pyrazolones
3.
Investigation of the metal- ligand mode of interaction and bonding, and
the type of complexes formed, using elemental or microanalysis, UV-visible, IR,
and NMR.
4.
Investigation of the solvent
extraction strength of the ligands under very low concentrations of metal ions
5.
Prediction of possible mechanism of
the solvent extraction of the ligands
6.
Investigation of antimicrobial activity of the synthesized ligand as
well as their metal complexes against various Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria
and Fungi.
1.4 JUSTIFICATION
OF THE STUDY
Pyrazolone, has become the center of
attraction as they exhibit cholesterol absorption and inhibiting (CAI)
activity.They also possess antiviral, antibacteria properties and have been
described as prominent analytical reagents and potent drugs or pharmaceutical
agents; having strong anti-fungal, antihistamic and analgesic properties
(Hassan et al., 2015). They are used
as NMR shift reagents and FESER materials, applied in hydrometallurgy, water
treatment (Burham et al., 2019), used
in metal extraction and construction of ion-exchange resins for metal ions,
etc.
However,
these and many other works gave only selected data on the antibacteria
activities, the structure, coordination numbers of the metal complexes, the
formation constants and solvent extraction strength under very low
concentrations of metal ions, and without any indication on the mechanisms of
the solvent extraction process of these pyrazolones.
1.5 SCOPE
OF THE STUDY
This work is limited
to the synthesis of the two pyrazolone ligands and theirMn(II), Fe(III) and
Ti(III) metal complexes. The full characterization of each of the synthesized
ligands and their metal complexes, propose structures for the complexes, solvent
extraction activities and determination of their anti-microbial activity has
been studied.
