Incorporation of fluorene groups into the salicylidene moiety significantly enhances the luminescence of a number of multinuclear alkynylated Zn(II)-salophen complexes. Preparation of these complexes was achieved by a synthetic strategy with facile handling of the reactants, simple purification of the products, and one-pot reaction process. Two synthetic methods are used for the preparation of ...

Aimed at creating a true photoswitchable energy transfer system, four dinuclear complexes containing ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) metal centers bridged by spiropyran-type linkers were designed and investigated. The bridge in its closed spiropyran form was shown to be a good insulator for energy transfer between the Ru-bpy donor and the Os-bpy acceptor (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine). On the basis of pr...

Reactions of the aminoiminophenols 2-((2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)phenol (HL(1)) or 2-{(3-(dimethylamino)propylimino)methyl}phenol (HL(2)) with nickel(II) chloride, K(2)[PtCl(4)] or copper(II) acetate in alcoholic solution, in the absence or in the presence of sodium azide, afford the corresponding new mononuclear complexes [M(L(1))(X)(H(2)O)(n)] [M = Ni, X = Cl(-), n = 2 (); M = Ni, X ...

A series of ligands containing a 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole unit have been used for the formation triple-stranded dinuclear Ru(II) complexes. In contrast to previously reported complexes labile metals, use inert enabled stereoisomeric mixtures diruthenium(II) be accessed. The chromatographic resolution enantiomers helicate more rigid 1,4-xylyl spacer was carried out on cellulose. ligand m...

A new tetradentate N2O2 Schiff base ligand (MeO-bph)2bn = N,N¢-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone)-1,4-butanediamine was prepared from the condensation of butane-1,4-diamine with 4-methoxy-2-hydroxybenzophenone and characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Its nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes characterized usin...

In typical catalytic organic transformations, transition metals in catalytically active complexes are present in their most stable valence states, such as palladium(0) and (II). However, some dimeric monovalent metal complexes can be stabilized by auxiliary ligands to form diamagnetic compounds with metal-metal bonding interactions. These diamagnetic compounds can act as catalysts while retaini...

Four new azo-dyes, 3-phenyl azopentane-2,4-dion (LA), 3-(4-nitro phenyl azo)-pentane-2,4-dion (LP), 3-(2-nitro phenyl azo)-pentane-2,4-dion (LO) and 4-(1-acetyle-2-oxo-propyl azo)-benzene sulfonate sodium (LS), were synthesized from, aniline, 4-nitroaniline, 2-nitroaniline and sulfanilic acid with acetylacetone, respectively. Reaction of these new dyes with acetate salts of copper(II), nickel(I...
