A Zn-salen-modified cavitand templates the catalytic formation of acetylcholine from choline and acetic anhydride.

1-Tetralone, a useful synthetic intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyes, can be prepared by liquid phase catalytic oxidation tetralin. Selective tetralin to 1-tetralone is still big challenge with low-temperature processes using environmentally friendly routes even after decades research. Herein, we demonstrate room-temperature over layered double hydroxide-ho...

the crystal structure of the compound c20 h24 n2 o24 was determined by direct methods. thecrystals are monoclinic, space group p21/n, and unit cell parameters are: a= 10.2342 (9), b=4.8763 (5),c=19.3578 (11) a, β =98.9632 (10) o ,v=956.6 (5) a3, z=2, dc=1.239grm-3, dm=1.22grm-3. the final rfactorsare converged to r=0.059 and rw=0.056 for 553 independent observed reflections. themolecules are li...

Unique homoleptic cyclic tetranuclear Ln4(Salen)4 complexes [Ln4(L)2(HL)2(μ3-OH)2Cl2]·2Cl (Ln = Nd, 1; Ln = Yb, 2; Ln = Er, 3; Ln = Gd, 4) or Ln4(Salen)2 complexes [Ln4(L)2(μ3-OH)2(OAc)6] (Ln = Nd, 5; Ln = Yb, 6; Ln = Er, 7; Ln = Gd, 8) have been self-assembled from the reaction of the hexadentate Salen-type Schiff-base ligand H2L with LnCl3·6H2O or Ln(OAc)6·6H2O (Ln = Nd, Yb, Er, or Gd), respe...

In this study, Co (III) salen complex was synthesized and immobilized onto the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticle. The heterogeneous nanocatalyst was characterized by different techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption−desorption isotherm (BET), ...

The reaction of a heteroligated Rh(I) bimetallic macrocycle with rigid ditopic ligands (1,4-dicyanobenzene, 4-4'-dicyanobiphenyl, or dipyridyl terminated salen ligand 5) results in the formation of tetrametallic rectangular box complexes.

This study introduces new methods of screening for and tuning chiral space and in so doing identifies a promising set of chiral ligands for asymmetric synthesis. The carbafructopyranosyl-1,2-diamine(s) and salens constructed therefrom are particularly compelling. It is shown that by removing the native anomeric effect in this ligand family, one can tune chiral ligand shape and improve chiral bi...

HNO has broad biological effects and pharmacological activities. Direct HNO probes for in vivo applications were recently reported, which are CuII-based complexes having fluorescence reporters with reaction to HNO resulting in CuI systems and the release of NO. Their coordination environments are similar to that in Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD), which plays a significant role in cellular HNO...
