A novel series of the Co/Zn-MSN catalysts with Si/Zn molar ratio of 10 and 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt% Cobalt (denoted by CZ-X-MSN) were synthesized using post-synthesis methods. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, TEM and nitrogen sorption methods. With a constant Si/Zn ratio, the increase of cobalt species from 1 to 7 wt% led to decrease the catalysts surface area from 408 m2g-1 for CZ-1-...

A selected solid complex of the Schiff base ligand derived from Glutaric anhydride with Cu(II) ion was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, Electronic, ESR Spectral Analyses, Magnetic susceptibility and Molar Conductance Measurements. The disappearance of ν(O-H) hydroxyl band of the phenolic and the lowering shift of the stretching frequency of the ν(CH=N) azomethine band in the ligand after...

Based-on the quasi-planar tetra-dentate Schiff-base ligand, a pair of manganese(III) Schiff-base enantiomers formulated as {[Mn(R,R-3-MeOSalcy)(H2O)(CH3OH)]ClO4}2 (1) and {[Mn(S,S-3-MeOSalcy)(H2O)(CH3OH)]ClO4}2 (2) (3-MeOSalcy = N,N′-(1,2-cyclohexanediylethylene)bis(3-methoxysalicylideneiminato)dianion) ...

Quantum Dot-Schiff base conjugate displays selectivity for Cu(2+) and Fe(3+) enabling the simultaneous detection of these ions in semi-aqueous solution; in contrast, the Schiff base itself displayed no selectivity.

Nonenzymatic glycation of proteins has been implicated in various diabetic complications and age-related disorders. Proteins undergo glycation at the N-terminus or at the epsilon-amino group of lysine residues. Glycation of proteins proceeds through the stages of Schiff base formation, conversion to ketoamine product and advanced glycation end products. Gramicidin S, which has two ornithine res...

Bioinorganic medicinal chemistry remains a hot field for research aimed at developing novel anti-cancer treatments. Discovery of metal complexes as potent antitumor chemotherapeutics such as cisplatin led to a significant shift of focus toward organometallic/ bioinorganic compounds containing transition metals and their chelates as novel scaffolds for drug discovery. In that way, transition met...

in this paper, we used tetranuclear copper (ii) schiff base complexes, [cu4 (μ-sal2hn) (μ-n3)2(n3)2] (1) and [cu4 (μ-salophen) (μ1, 1-n3)2(n3)2] (2), as new precursor in solid-state thermal decomposition for the synthesis of cuo nanoparticles. the crystallinity, purity and morphology of the cuo nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and s...
