The title ion-pair compound, (C(7)H(7)N(2))(2)[Cu(C(4)N(2)S(2))(2)], was obtained by the direct reaction of CuCl(2)·2H(2)O, disodium maleonitrile-dithiol-ate (Na(2)mnt) and 4-cyano-1-methyl-pyridinium iodide. The anion and one pyridinium cation lie entirely on a mirror plane, whereas for the other cation, a crystallographic mirror plane runs through the N and para-C atoms of the pyridine ring, ...

In an attempt to develop effective antidote against organophosphorus intoxication, some new imidazole-pyridinium mono-oximes, long chain pyridinium mono-oximes and cholineacetyltransferase inhibitors were synthesised. These compounds were evaluated for their in vivo therapeutic protection and neuromuscular function studies in rodents. The results indicate that SPK-series oximes may be useful ag...

Despite advances achieved over the last decade, infections caused by multi-drug-resistant bacterial strains are increasingly becoming important societal issues that need to be addressed. New approaches have already been developed in order overcome this problem. Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) could provide an alternative fight infectious bacteria. Many studies highlighted value o...

Micelles formed in water from tetramethyl-, tetraethyl-, tetrapropyl- and tetrabutylammonium dodecyl sulfate (TMADS, TEADS, TPADS, and TBADS, respectively) are characterized as reaction media. All of the results are identical in the presence or absence of added salt, provided micelles of the same aggregation number, N, are compared. The microviscosity (eta) deduced from the rotational motion of...

Pyridinium based indenophenanthiride (Me-INDP) has been synthesized via conventional method which en route detection of CN − ion in a non-aqueous medium. The sensing behavior Me-INDP to biological system was investigated using U87 cell lines.

A series of benz[a]azulenes reacted with pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide (PHBPB) in hydrous tetrahydrofuran yielding the corresponding benz[a]azulenequinones moderate yields. The detailed structure benz[a]azulenequinone derivative obtained was clarified by single crystal X-ray analysis.

The glycosylation of O-glycosyl trichloroacetimidate donors using a synergistic catalytic system of electron-deficient pyridinium salts/aryl thiourea derivatives at room temperature is demonstrated. The acidity of the adduct formed by the 1,2-addition of alcohol to the electron-deficient pyridinium salt is increased in the presence of an aryl thiourea derivative as an hydrogen-bonding cocatalys...

In the title compound, C(14)H(17)N(2)O(4)P·CH(3)OH, the planes of the pyridinium-2-ylamino and 2-hydroxy-phenyl groups form a dihedral angle of 75.6 (1)°, with the pyridinium NH group and the 2-hydroxy-phenyl OH group pointing in opposite directions. Three intra-molecular hydrogen bonds are observed. Two phospho-nate and two methanol mol-ecules are connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds as a centros...

The cyclization of cyclohexane-1,3-diones with various substituted pyridinium salts afforded functionalized 8-oxa-10-aza-tricyclo[7.3.1.0(2,7)]trideca-2(7),11-dienes. The reaction proceeds by regioselective attack of the central carbon atom of the 1,3-dicarbonyl unit to 4-position of the pyridinium salt and subsequent cyclization by base-assisted proton migration and nucleophilic addition of th...

The synthesis and characterisation of new trans 2-(thiophen-2-yl)vinyl pyridinium, imidazolium and quinoilinium iodides is reported together with their solvatochromic shifts and EFISH characterization. 2-{(E)-2-[5'-(dibutylamino)-2,2'-bithien-5-yl]vinyl}-1-methyl pyridinium and quinolinium iodides display high μ.β(vec) values up to 1200 × 10(-48) esu. The promising non-linear optical (NLO) prop...
