Mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) play a key role in many protocols in quantum science, such as quantum key distribution. However, defining MUBs for arbitrary high-dimensional systems is theoretically difficult, and measurements in such bases can be hard to implement. We show experimentally that efficient quantum state reconstruction of a high-dimensional multipartite quantum system can be perform...

In the title compound, [Cu(C(17)H(15)NO(3))(C(3)H(4)N(2))], the Cu(II) atom is four-coordinated by two O atoms and the N atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand, and one N atom from the imidazole ligand in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into dimers by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title compound, [Zn(C(19)H(13)N(3)O(2))], has been synthesized by the reaction of Zn(ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O and the tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand 2,2'-[pyridine-3,4-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenol (L). The coordination geometry of the Zn(II) ion is slightly distorted square-planar, formed by two N atoms and two O atoms from the L ligand.

In the title complex, [Zn(C18H10N4O2)(CH4O)], the Zn(2+) cation is located on a mirror plane and is coordinated by a tetradentate Schiff base ligand anion (L (2-)) and a methanol mol-ecule. The Zn(2+) cation is surrounded by two N atoms and two O atoms from L (2-), in a nearly planar configuration, and one methanol O atom, forming a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The methanol mol...

The asymmetric unit of the title Schiff base compound, C(12)H(15)N(3)O, contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules, with both existing in an E configuration with respect to the C=N double bonds. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.

The title compound, C(17)H(20)N(2)O(3), is a Schiff base, which is found as a zwitterion in the solid state. The geometry around the iminium N atom indicates sp(2)-hybridization. The zwitterion shows a strong intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-action between the iminium N atom and the phenolate O atom.

The asymmetric unit of the title Schiff base compound, C(16)H(12)Cl(2)F(2)N(2), contains one half of the centrosymmetric mol-ecule. Mol-ecules related by translation along the a axis form stacks with short inter-molecular C⋯C distances of 3.429 (3) Å. The crystal packing also exhibits short inter-molecular Cl⋯F contacts of 3.087 (1) Å.

In the title Schiff base, C(18)H(14)N(4)O, the amido -NH- unit is connected to one of the two pyridyl N atoms at an N(-H)⋯N distance of 2.624 (2) Å. The mol-ecular packing features an inter-molecular C-H⋯N R(2) (2)(6) hydrogen-bonding ring motif.

The centrosymmetric title complex, [Ni(C(13)H(19)N(2)O(2))(2)], is a mononuclear nickel(II) complex. The Ni(II) atom is coordinated by four N atoms and two O atoms of two deprotonated Schiff base ligands, forming a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination configuration, in which the tertiary N atoms occupy the axial positions.
