Slow (zero field)paramagnetic relaxation is reported for undiluted tetrahedral ferrous monomers for the first time. The Mossbauer spectra of Fe(2,9 di-CH3-phenanthroline)(NCS)2 and Fe(2,9 di-CH3 4,7 di-(j>-phenanthroline) (NCS)2 exhibit magnetic hyperfine splitting in the range 20 K to 1.6 K while the corresponding chlorides are rapidly relaxing paramagnets at all temperatures in zero field. Lo...

Tow new compound of type [(chelate)2Cu-OH-Cu(chelate)2] X3.nH2O, where chelate=1,10-phenanthroline; X=Cl¯(n=3.5) and chelate=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine;  (n=5) have been synthesized and their properties investigated. The complexes show room temperature magnetic moment order of 1.0 B.M. per copper atom. The X-band ESR spectrum of powdered sample...

A new sensitive, simple and rapid method for determination of methotrexate (MTX) was developed based on quenching effects of MTX on the fluorescence intensity of Tb3+-1,10-phenanthroline complex. The fluorescence intensity was measured with excitation wavelength of 300 nm and emission wavelength of 545 nm and the quenched fluorescence intensity is proportional to the concentration of MTX in Tris...

In the title compound, [Sm(C7H5O2)3(C12H8N2)], the Sm(III) cation is coordinated by six O atoms from three bidentate 2-formyl-phenolate ligands and by two N atoms from 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. The resulting SmN2O6 coordination polyhedron is a distorted square anti-prism. In the crystal, C-H⋯O inter-actions connect mol-ecules into chains along the b-axis direction. In addition, π-π stacking i...

The hydro-thermal reaction of CoCl(2)·6H(2)O, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and K(3)[Fe(CN)(6)] in deionized water yielded the title cyanide-bridged trinuclear cluster, [Co(2)Fe(CN)(8)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(4)]·4H(2)O or [{Co(III)(phen)(CN)(4)}(2){Fe(II)(phen)(2)}]·4H(2)O, which contains two Co(III) centers and one Fe(II) center linked by cyanide bridges. The combination of coordinative bonds, O-H⋯N and ...

Ruthenium polypyridyl complexes have received widespread attention as potential chemotherapeutics in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and in photochemotherapy (PACT). Here, we investigate a series of sixteen ruthenium polypyridyl complexes with general formula [Ru(tpy)(N-N)(L)]+/2+ (tpy=2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, N-N=bpy (2,2'-bipyridine), phen (1,10-phenanthroline), dpq (pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthr...

Two new salts of the cation [CuI(dmp)2]+ (dmp is 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, C14H12N2), namely bis[bis(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-kappa2N,N')copper(I)] bis(hexafluorophosphate) hemi[bis(4-pyridylmethylidene)hydrazine] acetonitrile solvate, [Cu(C14H12N2)2]2(PF6)2.0.5C12H10N4.C2H3N or [Cu(dmp)2]2(PF6)2.0.5(bpmh).CH3CN [bpmh is bis(4-pyridylmethylidene)hydrazine, C12H10N4], (I), and bi...

The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal solvate, C(14)H(10)O(4)S(2)·2C(14)H(12)N(2)·C(4)H(8)O, comprises a 2,2'-(disulfanedi-yl)dibenzoic acid mol-ecule, two mol-ecules of 2,9-dimethyl-phenanthroline and a tetra-hydro-furan (THF) solvent mol-ecule. Each end of the twisted diacid [dihedral angle between the benzene rings = 74.33 (17)°] forms a strong O-H⋯N hydrogen bond with a 2,9-dimethyl-p...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C24H16N2·0.5CH3OH, is comprised of two independent bathophenanthroline mol-ecules (systematic name: 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) and one methanol mol-ecule. The bathophenanthroline mol-ecules are not planar as there is a considerable rotation of all terminal phenyl rings with respect to the central phenanthroline units [dihedral angles in the rang...

Electroabsorption studies of ruthenium(II) tris(phenanthroline) show that a substantial change in dipole moment (|Delta&mgr;| = 6.7 +/- 1 D) accompanies ground state to "singlet" metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited-state formation. The change is nearly identical to that reported for the 2,2'-bipyridine analogue (Oh; et al. J.Am. Chem. Soc. 1989, 111, 1130). Since both species lack gr...
