Two novel symmetrical bis!tetradentate Schi} base ligands\ H1L and H3L\ have been prepared from the condensation of N\N?!bis"2!aminopropyl#oxamide with pyridine!1!carbaldehyde and pyrrol!1!car! baldehyde\ respectively[ The ligands react with copper"II# nitrate in basic medium to yield the dinuclear complexes ðCu1LŁ"NO2#1 and ðCu1LŁ[ ðCu1LŁ"NO2#1 reacts with sodium azide to yield the neutral din...

Mononuclear and dinuclear ruthenium(III) complexes with bis-β-diketonato ligands (denoted by [Ru(acac)(2)(L-LH)] and [Ru(acac)(2)(L-L)Ru(acac)(2)], respectively) were synthesized, where acac, L-LH(-) and L-L(2-) denote acetylacetonato, monoprotonated and unprotonated bis-β-diketonato ligands, respectively. The following three ligands were used as the bis-β-diketonato ligand (L-L(2-)): 1,2-diace...

The reaction of copper(II) hydroxide with 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) (1 : 1) in alkaline aqueous solution (pH 14) at room temperature affords the alternating carbonate/hydroxo-bridged copper(II) polymeric chain compound {[Cu3(bipy)3(mu-OH)2(mu-CO3)2].11H2O}n, 1, as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 1 is built up from two similar centro-symmetric dinuclear [(bipy)Cu(mu...

Two tetradentate ligands 1,2-bis[2-((dimethylamino)methyl)-6-pyridyl]ethane (L1) and 1,2-bis[2-(N-piperidinomethyl)-6-pyridyl]ethane (L2) and a hexadentate ligand 1,2-bis(2-((methyl(pyridylmethyl)amino)methyl)-6-pyridyl)ethane (L3) were prepared as part of a series of new polypyridine ligands possessing a 1,2-bis(2-pyridyl)ethane common moiety. L1 and L2 form mononuclear Cu(II) complexes [Cu(L)...

The coordination chemistry of chiral NHC-oxazoline bidentate ligands was investigated with silver(I) and gold(I), yielding stable dinuclear cationic complexes in good yields via N-coordination the oxazoline heterocycle. After full characterization these complexes, reactivity homogeneous catalysis under oxidative conditions studied.

The reaction of gem-dithiol compounds R 2C(SH) 2 (R = Bn (benzyl), (i) Pr; R 2 = -(CH 2) 4-) with dinuclear rhodium or iridium complexes containing basic ligands such as [M(mu-OH)(cod)] 2 and [M(mu-OMe)(cod)] 2, or the mononuclear [M(acac)(cod)] (M = Rh, Ir, cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in the presence of a external base, afforded the dinuclear complexes [M 2(mu-S 2CR 2)(cod) 2] ( 1- 4). The monod...

-A synthetic investi :ation ofcopper(II) ibuprofenate (lbup) addition compounds with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,9-dimethyl-l,10-phenanthroline (dmph) has led to the isolation of dinuclear adducts of the forms [Cu(Ibup)2(bpy)]z'4H20 (1) and [Cu(Ibup)2(phen)]2 (2) and a mononuclear adduct Cu(lbup)2(dmph) (3). Spectroscopic data for adducts 1 and 2 are consistent with ...
