a series of transition metal complexes with two thiosemicarbazide schiff bases, 1-(4-dimethylaminobenzyl- idene)thiosemicarbazide (abtsc) and 1-(2-pyridincarboxyl-idene) thiosemicarbazide (tcts) were synthesized with co(ii), ni(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii) and ag(i) salts (chloride and acetate). these complexes were characterized by different methods including proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1hnmr), ...

The title Schiff base compound, C34H24N2O3, was prepared by a condensation reaction of bifunctional aromatic diamine (4,4'-diamino-diphenyl ether) with hy-droxy-naphtaldehyde. The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules with similar conformations. The compound contains a central oxygen bridge and two functionalized [(E)-(phenyl-iminio)meth-yl]naphthalen-2-olate units. The dihedral a...

Integration and stability of hydrogels and surrounding cartilage/bone tissue is crucial for both immediate functionality and long-term performance of the tissue. In this work, chondroitin sulphate (CS) a polysaccharide found in cartilage and other tissues was used to synthesize a tough hydrogel that was chemically functionalized with methacrylate and aldehyde groups, bonding to surrounding tiss...

This work demonstrates a novel method for the synthesis of large pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with a pore diameter of 10.3 nm and a particle diameter of ∼50 nm based on the incorporation of mixed anionic surfactants sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as the template in the synthesis process. The dispersity, morphology, pore structure and siz...

A pyridine-2-carbohydrazide functionalized conjugated fluorophoric Schiff base ligand (L₁) specifically senses Al(3+) and Cd(2+) ions through significant changes in its absorption and emission spectral behavior, respectively, in physiological conditions. The spectral changes are in the visible region of the spectrum and thus facilitate naked eye detection. Apart from the visible changes, an in-...

The use of olefin metathesis as a construction tool for multimetallic salen-based structures is described. The approach involves mono- and diallyl-functionalized metallosalen complexes that can be directly coupled by metathesis leading to dimetallic species or mixtures of linear and cyclic oligomers. The metathesis of bis-allyl Ni(salen) complexes has been studied in detail. At high concentrati...

Schiff base (E)-2-methyl-N-(tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolin4-ylmethylene)aniline (QMA) was synthesized, and its inhibitive effect for mild steel in 1N HCl solution was investigated by weight loss measurement and electrochemical tests. From the weight loss measurements and electrochemical tests, it was observed that the inhibition efficiency increases with the increase in the Schiff base concentration ...

Schiff bases and their metal complexes in the mixtures of ionic liquid (IL) + organic solvent have shown great potential in attractive oxidation catalytic processes. The efficiency of such a process is strongly dependent on the various molecular interactions occurring between components. Thermodynamic properties of these systems can provide valuable information about structural interactions. Th...
