Heterodinuclear complexes, syn-[MPt(μ-pyt)2(bpy)2](n+) (syn-[MPt], M = Pd(2+), Au(3+), Hpyt = pyridine-2-thiol, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine), were synthesized as a selective geometrical isomer by stepwise complexation. X-ray analyses of the hexafluorophosphate salts of these complexes proved their dinuclear structures with short M···Pt distances (2.9084(4) Å for syn-[PdPt] and 2.9071(4) Å for syn-[Au...

A series of ligands containing a 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole unit have been used for the formation triple-stranded dinuclear Ru(II) complexes. In contrast to previously reported complexes labile metals, use inert enabled stereoisomeric mixtures diruthenium(II) be accessed. The chromatographic resolution enantiomers helicate more rigid 1,4-xylyl spacer was carried out on cellulose. ligand m...

Hybrid complexes with N,N'-bis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine and cyclen moieties are novel enzyme mimics and controlled DNA release materials, which could interact with DNA through three models under different conditions. In this paper, the interactions between plasmid DNA and seven different complexes were investigated, and the methods to change the interaction patterns by graphene oxide (GO) o...

Two dinuclear [Ni2L2(o-(NO2)C6H4COO)2(H2O)] (1), [Ni2L2(p-(NO2)C6H4COO)2(H2O)]·0.5CH3OH (2) complexes and one trinuclear [Ni3L2(p-(NO2)C6H4COO)4]·C2H5OH (3) Ni(II) complex have been synthesized using a tridentate Schiff base ligand, 1-[(3-dimethylamino-propylimino)-methyl]-naphthalen-2-ol (HL) along with ortho- and para-nitro benzoate as co-ligands. All these three (1-3) complexes have been cha...

Hybrid organic-inorganic coordination assemblies are synthesized using modified aminocarboxylic acid ligands as the structure-directing agents. The synthetic approach results in two novel dinuclear copper(II) complexes, K2[CuII(hnida)]2.2H2O (1) and K4[CuII(chnida)]2.4H2O.4MeOH (2) that assemble in the presence of suitable counterions into a densely packed hexagonal array or an open-framework s...
