the reaction of copper(ii) chloride and zinc(ii) chloride with n-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(1'-salicylaldehydene-2'-imine-ethane)-butanamide(h2l2a) or (mpsb), n-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(1'-(3'-methoxysalicylaldehydene-2'-imine-ethane)-butanamide (h2l2b) or (mpmsb) and n-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(1'-(2'-hydroxyacetylene-2'-imine-ethane)-butanamide (h2l2c) (mphb) leads to th...

In this paper, cubic nickel oxide nanoparticles were successfully prepared by solid-state thermal decomposition of nickel(II) macrocyclic Schiff-base complex at 450°C for 3 h without employing toxic solvent or surfactant and complicated equipment. nickel(II) macrocyclic Schiff-base complex was synthesized by the reaction of 1,2-bis(2-formyl-3-methoxyphenyl)propane, NiCl2•6H2O and 1,3-phenylened...

Versatility of Poly-Schiff Base Metal Complex Materials In article number 2101920, Minglong Yan, Yuhan Guo, and Wenjie Zhao develop a cross-linked, mechanically adjustable, self-healing entirely degradable poly-Schiff base metal complex materials with anti-biofouling potential, which is achieved by using the reversible bond imine part, ion-ligand coordination crystallites to jointly adjust thei...

In order to improve the existing models of retinalprotein Schiff bases, a water-soluble polylysine-retinaldehyde imine has been synthesized and its stability assessed under a variety of conditions through changes in the visible absorption spectrum. The compound absorbs at 342 nm and consists of a 90-kDa poly-L-lysine containing a retinal Schiff base in about 2% of the lysyl c-amino ends. Retina...

The electronic communication between two redox centres through a Schiff base complex has been investigated in a series of ethylenediimine-bis(1-ferrocenyl-1,3-butanedionate) complexes of Zn(II) 1, Cu(II) 2, Ni(II) 3 and Co(II) 4. Cyclic voltammetry experiments of 1 and 2 exhibit a unique two-electron reversible oxidation wave, whereas in the case of 3 and 4 two and three one-electron oxidation ...

The acid-base chemistry that drives catalysis in pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes has been the subject of intense interest and investigation since the initial identification of PLP's role as a coenzyme in this extensive class of enzymes. It was first proposed over 50 years ago that the initial step in the catalytic cycle is facilitated by a protonated Schiff base form of the holoe...

Different Schemes for the synthesis of Schiff bases have been discussed. Solvent free synthesis by microwave irradiation technique is observed to be rapid, more efficient and more economical and at the same time may play a pivotal role in the progress of Schiff base synthesis. Mechanism for the synthesis of Schiff bases at controlled pH range has been studied. Biological functions of metal comp...

The structures of 5-aminolaevulinic acid dehydratase complexed with two irreversible inhibitors (4-oxosebacic acid and 4,7-dioxosebacic acid) have been solved at high resolution. Both inhibitors bind by forming a Schiff base link with Lys 263 at the active site. Previous inhibitor binding studies have defined the interactions made by only one of the two substrate moieties (P-side substrate) whi...

Schiff bases bearing an intramolecular hydrogen bond are known to undergo excited-state intramolecular proton transfer and E-Z isomerization, which are related to their thermochromism and solvatochromism properties. In this study, we explored these ultrafast photoinduced processes for two doubly hydroxylated Schiff bases, salicylidene-2-aminophenol and 2-hydroxynaphthylmethylidene-2-aminophenol...
