Two biologically active Schiff bases, C13H10BrON (4), C13H9Br2O2N (5), were synthesized by the reaction of 2-aminophenol (1) with 3-bromobenzaldehyde (2) or 3,5-dibromo-4hydroxybenzaldehyde (3) in the presence of conc. H2SO4. The characterization of Schiff bases were carried out by using spectroscopic techniques including IR, H-NMR, FAB-MS along with elemental analyses. The Schiff bases were ch...

In the title complex, [Ni(C(15)H(14)NO)(2)], the Ni(II) atom is located on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two O and two N atoms from two symmetry-related bidentate Schiff base ligands in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The phenyl and benzene rings in the ligand mol-ecule form a dihedral angle of 72.79 (8)°.

In the title complex, [Co(C(15)H(14)NO)(2)], the Co(II) atom, situated on an inversion centre, is coordinated by two O and two N atoms from two symmetry-related bidentate Schiff base ligands in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The two phenolate rings form a dihedral angle of 10.53 (2)°.

The title compound, [Zn(C(15)H(14)NO(2))(2)], contains a four-coordinate Zn atom located on a twofold rotation axis that exhibits a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two phenolate O atoms and two azomethine N atoms of the Schiff base 2-methoxy-6-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolate ligands.

In the title complex, [CuBr(C(15)H(21)N(2)O)], the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by one phenolate O, one imine N and one amine N atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand and by one bromide ion, resulting in a distorted CuBrN(2)O square-planar geometry for the metal ion, with the N atoms in a cis conformation.

A simple spectrophotometric method is presented for the rapid determination of copper at a trace level using 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMTD) as a new spectrophotometric reagent. The method is based on the reaction of non-absorbent DMTD in a slightly acidic (0.002-0.014 mol dm(-3) sulfuric acid) aqueous solution with copper(II) to produce a highly absorbent greenish-yellow chelate produc...

The resolutions of metal-4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol chelates by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) were investigated in the presence of some interacting reagents; also, equilibrium reactions between the chelates and the interacting reagents were analyzed in an aqueous solution. Among nine metal chelates formed in aqueous solution, the chelates of VV, FeII, CoIII, NiII, and CuII were resolved ...

Chiral recognition at single-molecule level for small active molecules is important, as exhibited by many nanostructures and molecular assemblies in biological systems, but it presents a significant challenge. We report a simple and rapid sensing strategy to discriminate all enantiomers of natural aromatic amino acids (AAA) using a metal-organic complex-functionalized protein nanopore, in which...

In the title compound, C(15)H(12)BrClN(2)O(4), the configuration of the C=N double bond can be described as trans. The two aromatic rings in this Schiff base are nearly coplanar with a dihedral angle between their mean planes of 15.4 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O interactions.

The title Schiff base compound, C(15)H(14)BrNO(2), was prepared by the condensation of 2,3-dimeth-oxy-benzaldehyde with 4-bromo-aniline. It adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 56.79 (8)°. Weak C-H⋯O and C--H⋯π bonds can be found in the crystal structure.
