The multiwalled carbon nanotubes/BaFe12O19-chitosan (MCNTs/BF-CS) Schiff base Ag (I) complex composites were synthesized successfully by a chemical bonding method. The morphology and structures of the composites were characterized with electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Their conductive properties were measured using a four-probe condu...

The Schiff base complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) Cu(II) and Zn(II) have been synthesized from 4pyridine carboxaldehyde with 4-aminopyridine. They have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, molecular weight determination, IR, XRD and SEM. The metal in the Schiff base complex is hexa coordinated which binds through pyridine nitrogen, azomethine nitrogen and nitrate units of meta...

3-Formyl-4-hydroxyphenylguanidine hydrochloride and its Schiff base copper(II), zinc(II), and iron(III) chelates were synthesized and their inhibitory activity against bovine beta-trypsin were determined. Syntheses of Schiff base metal chelates were carried out from 3-formyl-4-hydroxyphenylguanidine, various L-amino acids, and divalent metal acetate. Their structures were established on the bas...

New coordination complexes of Co, Ni and Zn with Schiff base N’-((2-thioxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3yl)methylene) pyridine-4-carbohydrazide have been synthesized and characterized by several techniques using elemental analysis (C, H, N), IR spectra and 1HNMR spectra. The new Schiff base has been synthesized by the reaction of pyridine-4-carbohydrazide and 2-thioxo-1,2dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyd...

Unique homoleptic cyclic tetranuclear Ln4(Salen)4 complexes [Ln4(L)2(HL)2(μ3-OH)2Cl2]·2Cl (Ln = Nd, 1; Ln = Yb, 2; Ln = Er, 3; Ln = Gd, 4) or Ln4(Salen)2 complexes [Ln4(L)2(μ3-OH)2(OAc)6] (Ln = Nd, 5; Ln = Yb, 6; Ln = Er, 7; Ln = Gd, 8) have been self-assembled from the reaction of the hexadentate Salen-type Schiff-base ligand H2L with LnCl3·6H2O or Ln(OAc)6·6H2O (Ln = Nd, Yb, Er, or Gd), respe...

The complexes of Fe(II), Mn(II) and Ni(II) with a combination of a Schiff base, nitrogen-donor ligand or macrocyclic ligand and trithiocyanuric acid (ttcH3) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopies. Crystal and molecular structures of the iron complex of composition [Fe(L1)](ttcH2)(ClO4)·EtOH·H2O (1), where L1 is Schiff base derived from tris(2-aminoethyl)amine a...

In an effort to develop new antibacterial drugs, some novel bisindolylmethane derivatives containing Schiff base moieties were prepared and screened for their antibacterial activity. The synthesis of the bisindolylmethane Schiff base derivatives 3-26 was carried out in three steps. First, the nitro group of 3,3'-((4-nitrophenyl)-methylene)bis(1H-indole) (1) was reduced to give the amino substit...

The title compound, C(28)H(20)N(2)O(2)·2H(2)O, comprises a Schiff base mol-ecule with an imposed inversion centre in the middle of p-phenyl-enediamine unit and water mol-ecules of crystallization. In the structure, the Schiff base mol-ecule is present as the keto-amino tautomer with a strong intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The Schiff base mol-ecules and water mol-ecules of crystallization ...

A novel Schiff base was synthesized by the reaction of piperonal and anthranilic acid, which was further utilized in the synthesis of five novel complexes by reaction with different metal salts ultrasonically. Time for the reaction was greatly reduced through ultrasound irradiations and the yield of reactions was also high as compared to the conventional methods using reflux conditions. The...

Although metal-based anticancer drugs have been recognized as the most effective agents over the organic compounds, non-selectivity and high toxic effects have limited their applications in a way that only three Pt-analogues have progressed into clinical use. These problems have spurred chemists to develop different strategies based on alternative targets. This work focuses on predicting potenc...
