VT transition from the high-spin CoII to low-spin CoIII state was observed for complex (N-cyclo-hexyl-2-iminopyridine)(3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzosemiquinonato)(3,6-di-tert-butyl-catecholato)cobalt in both solid and liquid form. For first time we demonstrate a low-temperature nanosecond pump-probe XANES experiment revealing valence tautomeric solution of Co complex. Reversible induced under tempe...

the catalytic acvtivity of dimeric and monomeric ortho-palladated complexes [pd{c6h2(ch2nh2-(ome)2,3,4}(µ-cl)]2)2) and [pd{c6h2(ch2nh2-(ome)2,3,4}cl(pph3)](3), was investigated in heck cross-coupling reaction. these complexes are more active and efficient catalysts for heck cross-coupling reaction. the palladium complexes 2 and 3 is employed in the heck cross-coupling reaction between styrene a...

Zinc sulphate is currently used for treatment of zinc deficiency. Its uptake by the body is poor, necessitating the administration of high doses. This leads to a range of unpleasant side effects. In order to increase the bioavailability of zinc, several zinc complexes have been designed and synthesized using bidentate ligands of hydroxypyranones and hydroxypyridinones. Elemental analysis in eac...

Aminocarboxylic acids, such as 2-aminobenzoic acid, react easily with [Ir(COD)(PMe3)3]Cl, (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene), in THF to produce hydridoaminocarboxylato iridium(III) complexes in high yields. These octahedral complexes are formed via oxidative addition reaction of the O-H bond of the carboxylic group with the central metal. The starting iridium(I) complex losses t...

A combined computational and experimental investigation of three different Cp*CoIII systems used in combination with a base as catalysts “borrowing hydrogen” alkylations by secondary alcohols (ROH), resulting C–N or C–C bond formation, reveal the existence new pathway for alcohol activation, differing from existing paradigms oxidative ionic activations. The metal-coordinated alkoxide (OR) gener...

Observations of the peculiar type Ia SN 1991bg in NGC 4374 collected at ESO–La Silla and Asiago are presented and discussed. The photometric coverage extends for 530 days and the spectroscopy for the first seven months after the explosion. The broad– band light curves in the early months have a narrower peak and a luminosity decline faster than other SNIa (14.6 and 11.7 mag×(100d) in B and V re...

A new Schiff base ligand (L) obtained by the condensation reaction of N-acetylaceto-otoluidineand 2-aminopropanoic acid (an amino acid), is used to synthesize four mononuclearcomplexes of [MLCl] and [ML2] types (where M = Cu(II) and Zn(II); L = Schiff base) bykeeping the metal and ligand ratio as 1:1 and 1:2 respectively. This ligand and its complexeshave been characterized on the basis of diff...
