the in-situ method of synthesis has been used to isolate oxovanadium(iv) complexes with ligands derived by reaction of benzil with amino acids such as glycine, alanine, serine, cysteine and valine, where template effect of vo +2 cation appears to play an important role. the complexes are characterised by elemental analysis, magnetic moment measurements and spectral (infrared, electronic and ele...

Five-coordinate Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(Ln)X]ClO4/PF6, where Ln = piperazine ligands bearing two pyridyl arms and X ClO4? for L1 (1-ClO4), L2 (2-ClO4), L3 (3-ClO4), L6 (6-ClO4) as well [Cu(Ln)Cl]PF6 (1-Cl), L4 (4-Cl), L5 (5-Cl) have been synthesized characterized by spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structures of the last complexes were determined X-ray crystallography. In aqueous acetonitr...

This short note describes the synthesis of a novel compound, 6,6′-di-(8″-quinoline)-2,2′-bypyridine (2), that bears bipyridyl backbone and quinoline donors. Compound 2 coordinates with cobalt(II) ion in tetradentate manner affords complex [CoII(2)(TfO)2], whose molecular structure has been identified by single crystal X-ray diffraction crystallographic analysis. The coordination features were c...
