Two new symmetrical Schiff bases have been prepared by the condensation of ethylenediamine and two benzaldehyde derivatives, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. The electronic transitions within these Schiff bases molecules in chloroform solvent have been investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The 1H NMR and IR spectra were studied and assigned to related groups. Furthermore,...

The structures of 5-aminolaevulinic acid dehydratase complexed with two irreversible inhibitors (4-oxosebacic acid and 4,7-dioxosebacic acid) have been solved at high resolution. Both inhibitors bind by forming a Schiff base link with Lys 263 at the active site. Previous inhibitor binding studies have defined the interactions made by only one of the two substrate moieties (P-side substrate) whi...

Schiff bases bearing an intramolecular hydrogen bond are known to undergo excited-state intramolecular proton transfer and E-Z isomerization, which are related to their thermochromism and solvatochromism properties. In this study, we explored these ultrafast photoinduced processes for two doubly hydroxylated Schiff bases, salicylidene-2-aminophenol and 2-hydroxynaphthylmethylidene-2-aminophenol...

Some Copper(II)-Manganese(II) trinuclear complexes of Schiff bases derived from 2aminobenzaldehyde and diamines are reported and characterized based on their elemental analyses, conductivity studies, IR, UV-Visible, ESR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetric studies. The complexes are found to have the formula [Mn(CuL)2](CH3COO)2. The elemental analyses data confirms the formation of trinuclear c...

In this paper, an efficient method for synthesis of aromatic polyesters containing schiff base units is described by preparation of two polyesters. These polyesters have been prepared by the reaction of terephthaloyl dichloride on Schiff bases derived from p-hydroxybenzyldehyde and 4,4-diamino diphenyl ether, 4,4-diamino diphenyl methane. The Polymers were characterized by IR, CHNS, thermal...

A novel azo-Schiff base ligand (L) was prepared by reacting 2-hydroxy-5-(pyridine-4-yldiazenyl) benzaldehyde with 1,2-phenylenediamine. Moreover, Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS-NPs) were prepared by employing azo-Schiff base ligand (L) as capping and reducing agent. The solid-state fluorescence spectroscopy was used to investigate the interaction between L ...

Schiff base complexes of transition metals are of particular interest to inorganic chemists because of their structural, spectral and chemical properties, which are often strongly dependant on the nature of the ligand structure. Large number of metal (II) complexes with Schiff-base ligands has been extensively studied for their interesting structural specialties, applications and properties. Th...

The copper-catalyzed [3+2] azide-alkyne cycloaddition and the Staudinger ligation are readily applicable and highly efficient for the immobilization of cobalt Schiff base complexes onto polystyrene resins. Stepwise synthesis of polymer-bound Schiff bases followed by their subsequent complexation with metal ions were successfully carried out. Direct covalent attachment of preformed homogeneous c...

In the title compound, [CuBr(C(17)H(20)N(4))]BF(4), the Cu(II) ion is five-coordinated by the four N atoms of the tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand and by one bromide ion, thereby forming a square-pyramidal CuN(4)Br coordination geometry. The dihedral angle between the pyridine rings of the Schiff base is 54.39 (18)°. In the crystal, the components are linked by C-H⋯F inter-actions.

In the title complex, [CuSm(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)]·CH(3)CO-CH(3), the Cu(II) atom is four-coordinated in a square-planar geometry by two O atoms and two N atoms of the deprotonated Schiff base. The Sm(III) atom is ten-coordinate, chelated by three nitrate groups and linked to the four O atoms of the deprotonated Schiff base.
