The title complex, [Fe(C(12)H(9)ClNO(2))(3)], is a mononuclear Schiff base iron(III) compound. The Fe atom is six-coordinated by three phenolic O and three imine N atoms from three Schiff base ligands in an octa-hedral geometry.

An octahedral ruthenium(II) Schiff base complexes of the type [Ru(CO)(Py)L] (L = dianion of the Schiff bases derived from acetoacetanilide with o-phenylenediamine and salicylaldehyde/ohydroxyacetophenone/o-vanillin/2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde) have been synthesized from the reactions of equimolar ratio of [Ru(CO)(PPh3)2(Py)] and Schiff bases in benzene. The formation of the Schiff base ligands a...

The ligand N-(2-hydr-oxy-3-methoxy-benzyl-idene)glycylglycine (H(3)L), a Schiff base derived from glycylglycine and 3-methoxy-salicylaldehyde, was used in the synthesis of a new organic-inorganic coordination complex, [Mn(H(2)O)(6)][Cu(C(12)H(11)N(2)O(5))](2)·6H(2)O. The Mn(II) atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated to six water mol-ecules in a slightly distorted octa-hedral ...

The Bürgi-Dunitz angle (αBD) describes the trajectory of approach of a nucleophile to an electrophile. The adoption of a stereoelectronically favorable αBD can necessitate significant reactive-group repositioning over the course of bond formation. In the context of enzyme catalysis, interactions with the protein constrain substrate rotation, which could necessitate structural transformations du...

Shape-persistent conjugated macrocycles are challenging synthetic targets with interesting properties and potential for a number of applications. In contrast to the standard kinetic approaches to macrocycles, reversible Schiff-base condensation offers a one-step, thermodynamic route to large macrocycles. These macrocycles, which feature “salen”-type coordination environments and an interior tha...

Complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II) containing a novel homotrinuclear Schiff base metal complexes were synthesized by using 2,3-pentanedione, p-phenylenediamine and 2-aminobenzaldehyde. The complexes of the type [LM 3 Cl 6 ]. The characterization and nature of bonding of the trinuclear complexes have been deduced from elemental analysis, molar conductivity, FT-IR, UV-visible, magnetic and EP...
