Abstract : Two of new azo methyl-xanthine ligands were prepared, via the reaction of the diazonium salt of amino antipyrine with the coupling components (caffeine and theophylline) in a 5% basic media in 0C˚ . The legends were identified with many techniques to ensure the formation of these compounds such (FTIR spectroscopy , elementary analysis and mass spectroscopy).
Three of divalent transition metal ion complexes (Co, Ni and Cu) for each ligand prepared, after the fixation of the preparation demands (optimal concentration, optimal pH and M:L ratio) , these were resulted from the an extensive UV-Visible study of the aqueous solutions of these complexes. Two methods were used for M: L ratio determination (the mole ratio & continuous variation methods), all these indicated the (1:2 ,M:L) ratios for all complexes.
The solid complexes were prepared and identified with the previous techniques (except mass spectroscopy).Indeed there are many complimentary techniques were used for the determination of the solid complexes geometry as (electrical molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility).
All complexes have the ionic properties with the presence of chloride ion out of the coordination core.
Magnetic susceptibility data agreed with the present of (three odd electrons for cobalt complexes, two odd electron for nickel complexes & odd electron for copper complexes) for the two prepared ligands.
One pot data indicate the octahedral geometry for all complexes, and the prepared ligands behaves as bidentate ligand via the imidazole nitrogen and the far azo nitrogen atom.
Keywords : methyl xanthine - Azo, Azo compounds, caffeine, theophylline, transition metal complexes.
Introduction:-
Drugs can characterize and analyzed by using many analytical techniques (Spectrophotometric, FTIR, NMR, MS and others)1, the colorimetric method regarded as one the famed one2, while the formation of azo dye was one of them3 when the drug component have a degree of nucleophicity that can react readily with the diazonium salt to form a suitable color azo compound, that can characterize colorimetry owning specific λmax in the visible region of the UV-visible spectrum.
Methyl –xanthines (Caffeine and theophylline) are in the family of alkaloid methyl-xanthins, can be normally found in cola nuts, coffee bean ,tea leaves and other kind of plants 4they were used as stimulators especially caffeine the most frequently psychoactive substance in the world5.
Methyl-xanthine (especially theophylline) can determine by spectrophotometry6,titrimetry7, complexmetry8, colorimetry9, phosphorimetry10 and chromatography11.While an azo coupling reaction with (sulfanilic acid) act as classic method for determination (pauly reaction)12.Indeed, many azo-theophylline was synthesized from coupling with salt of diazonium of different aniline derivatives13,14,15.
Caffeine in the other hand, measured mostly by chromatography method (HPLC)16, and scarce literature , which focused on the determination of caffeine using the azo reaction17.
The utilizing of these azo-methylxnthine in the field of analytical chemistry, via complexation of these chelates with ions of the metals.
Through our expansion in search of the literature, we did not find only a few research18,19 , it is believed that the reason for this is attributed to the lack of researchers in this area , while we did not find any inorganic chemistry study and was limited to the analytical side only.
So it was our vision to engage in the midst of thread and worked to prepared and identified of two azo -methyl xanthine ligands (TAAP & CAAP) and their transition metal element complexes.
Experimental
All chemicals used in this work were of analytical reagent grade from (Fluke, BDH and Sigma).

Results and discussion
Azo compound preparation methods vary depending on their components (coupling and amine) and their condition is not the same 20.
Methyl xanthines can be regarded as coupling components, due to they owned a degree of nucleophicity at C8 position, it can developed in a basic media.
In this article they used 5% KOH solution for theophylline, while a mixed 5% basic (NaOH +Na2CO3) solution was used for caffeine, to avoid dissociation and enhanced the nucleophicity.
Two of methyl xanthine azo ligands were prepared, via coupling the diazonium salt of 4-amino antipyrin with (theophylline and caffeine) in 5% basic solution at 0 C˚ as in the following reaction.
Fig.1 Schematic reaction of (TAAP &CAAP) preparation
These ligands were brown fine powder, insoluble in water, but soluble in most organic solvents (ethanol, methanol, acetone, DMF, DMSO, acetonitrile, chloroform and dichloromethane).
FTIR technique can utilized for organic compound identification21, it can show the functional groups of the chemicals, the main functional groups of azo compounds can observe in the IR spectra, in this work there are some groups developed for(CAAP&TAAP )as(N-H imd str. 3438cm-1&3487cm-1) for the two ligands respectively.
Imidazole azomethine give a st. band in the region (1600&1597)cm-1 , while the azo dye group (N=N) observed within (1454& 1452) cm-1,xanthine carbonyl system was clearly shown at (1660-1701)cm-1,these can show in the figure.2

Another analytical technique was used for identification, Mass spectroscopy, they can able to sorts ions based on their mass (weight), one of the mass spectrum usage to determine the masses of the particles and of molecules, and to elucidate the chemical structure of the molecules22.
Mass fragmentation of the ligands (TAAP &CAAP), detected the M and (M+1) clearly, that the molecular mass of these ligands obtaind from their spectras , as aresults the (m/z)that equavelant to the mass of CAAP , was equal to (408), while TAAP (m/z)equal to (394), the spectras can shown in fig.3

Optimal condition determination
Organic ligands can act as chelating agent, due to their owing of donating atomsthat used for ions coordinating and they can determine them coloromitry using UV-Visible technique, that the colored mixtures have specific (λmax) under condition (conc.&pH), that obey the lambert – beers low.
In the UV-Visible study the ligands (CAAP & TAAP) λmax were determined, spectrophotometry as shown;
CAAP 378nm
TAAP 384nm
Fig.4 UV-Visible spectra of the prepared ligands.
Optimal conditions must be obtain, for solid complexes preparation, an extensive study done in this work that the limit of concentration given (10-6-10-3)M and the pH range (5-11) using the ammonium acetate as a buffer,in the study three divalent transition metal ions ( Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+) were used, the vivid color of the mixture which differ from the ligands color, and the red shifting of the spectra believed because of the coordination.
In the results, the optimal concentration that obey (lambert-beer) low within (105-)M, and the optimal pH values ( 7-9.5).

Metal :ligand ratio
was used to deduce the possible structural formula of the prepared complexes, under their optimal conditions and maxiumem wavelengths, two ways were adopted this work (mole ratio and continuous varation method)23 used to obtained the M:L value , all results indicated that the M:L values were (1:2) for all complexes in the two methods used, as in the following:

Stability constant calculation
XM Ni CAAP
Stability constant for the complexes in their solutions can determine with spectroscopic method24, espically if colored complexes have taking the advantages of the absorbances values of the (ligand-metal ion)mixtures at optimal condition and (λmax) ,in mole ratio method, by using the relation , where As= the absorbance at the mole ratio, Am = the absorbance with a ligand component increment. α= dissociation constant. , for (1:2) ratio, β= stability constant and c = the concentration of the two components (ligand &metal ion) in the study.
Data was observed in table.2,the stability constants of the studied complexes was agreed the Irving-Williams arrangementes25 that the copper complexes more stable than others, with some deviation in nickel complexes.26

Solid complexes were prepared depending on the optimal condition needed, the complexes synthetic were confirmed via TLC, elementary analysis and FTIR technique, an increment in (hydrogen atom) in elementary analysis may attributed to the presence of an aqua molecule within complexes,this will confirmed with FTIR results,later.
FTIR data emphasized the complex formation27 via the alteration of the shape and site of two means bands , due the coordination with the azo-methylxanthin ligands, by shifting of the azomethane and azo group towered lower frequances, indded the appearance of metal-nitrogen band28, while a brodining in most complexes due the appearance of an aquamolecule,that has a hydroxyl group interfered with (imidazole N-H) band,and appeared clearly in the others. And its oxygen atom can coordinate to the metal ions 28.

Electrical Molar conductivity
Ionic formula of the complexes could be known by conductivity measurement, that the electrical conductivity proportional to the charged species in the solution 24, reach zero value in non-ionic complexes.
The present work , three solvents was used for solvation of the complexes at room temp and 10-3M concentration, all measurements confirmed that all complexes were ionic by the ratio (1:1), this means the presence of free chloride ion in the solutions, the electrical molar conductivity data shown in the following table :

Magnatic susceptibility data
Magnetic susceptibility data act as a complementary tool for the complexes geometry suggestion (especially for TME΄s) 29, via the study influence of the partially filled outer orbital, magnetic data supplied us with the electronic contribution and the metal oxidation state, that the number of odd electron(s) for the metal play a role which either complex in the high - spin state or low30.
-The Cobalt complexes have a (4.18 & 4.33 B.M ) values for (Co-CAAP and Co-TAAP) complexes respectively and this agreed with the abundance of three odd electrons of octahedral cobalt complexes 31
While the Nickel complexed gives a (3.08 & 3.11) B. M for (CAAP and TAAP) complexes respectively , this will agreed with octahedral nickel complexes that have two odd electrons30.
Copper susceptibility values were (1.87 & 1.83) B.M for copper complexes of the two ligands (CAAP and TAAP); this was tuned with the odd electron octahedral copper complexes as in literature32.
Electronic spectrca of the complexes was not studied in this work, due to the weakness of the d-d transitions (forbidden) ,and there are interfered with the CT band of the complexes.
Suggested complexes geometry
Work results indicated that the azo methylxanthin ligands (TAAP&CAAP) complexes have
- the octahedral geometry
- the ligands chelated from the imidazole nitogen atom and the far azo nitrogen atom.
- the complexes was ionic
- the present of aqua molecule within coordination sphere .
An example of these complexes geometry , as shown in the following cobalt complexes.
Where x = H for (CoTAAP), x=CH3 for (CoCAAP).
