Schiff base macrocycles are emerging as useful scaffolds for binding two or more catalytic metals in close proximity. Such coordination chemistry allows for the evaluation of potentially beneficial catalytic cooperative effects. In the field of ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters, only a handful of metal systems bound by Schiff base [2 + 2] type macrocycles have been studied. Nev...

The title complex, [ZnCl(2)(C(12)H(18)N(2)O)]·0.5H(2)O, is a mononuclear zinc(II) compound derived from the zwitterionic form of the Schiff base 2-[3-(dimethyl-amino)propyl-imino-meth-yl]-phenol. The Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated by the imine N and the phenolate O atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and by two chloride ions, in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry. The dimethyl-ammonio...

Two series of chiral salicylaldimine-based liquid crystals which differ from each other in the position of the (S)-2-octyloxy tail have been synthesized and characterized by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and electrical switching. Compounds OH I (n = 6-7) having (S)-2-octyloxy tail close to the salicylaldimine core and compounds OH II (n = 6-11) having (S)-2-o...

Schiff base has been prepared by the condensation of 2-naphthylamine (NA) with 5bromosalicylaldehyde (BSA). The ligand (NABSA) was isolated and characterized. Metal complexes have been synthesized by the interaction of NABSA with metal ions viz. Co(II), Ni (II), and Cu(II) in 1:2 molar ratio respectively. These complexes have been characterized by FT-IR, electronic spectroscopy, conductance mea...

In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of a new symmetric macroacyclic Schiff base ligand (H2L) and related complexes with different metals. (H2L) was synthesized by the one pot condensation reaction of 2-[2-(2-formyl phenoxy)ethoxy]benzaldehyde and 2-aminobenzenethiol in a 1:2 molar ratio. The acyclic Schiff base was characterized by IR, NMR spectroscopy and elemental anal...

Metal chelates of Schiff base prepared by combining salicylaldehyde and amino acids could be effectively used in understanding the mechanism of transamination reaction. They can act as biomimetic species. The current article focused on the syntheses, characterization, complexation behaviour and antimicrobial studies of some novel Schiff bases formed from salicylaldehyde with 3-amino benzoic aci...

The title compound, [Cu(2)(C(14)H(13)N(2)O)(2)(N(3))(2)], was synthesized by the reaction of Cu(NO(3))(2)·3H(2)O with the Schiff base 2-[1-(2-pyridylmethyl-imino)eth-yl]phenol (HL) in methanol-water solution, adding NaN(3) as the bridging ligand. The asymmetric unit contains one half-mol-ecule, the other half being generated by the inversion center. Each Cu(II) atom shows a slightly distorted t...

In the title Schiff base complex, [Zn(C(14)H(9)Br(2)FNO)(2)], the Zn(II) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two O and two N atoms from two symmetry-related bidentate Schiff base ligands in a compressed tetrahedral geometry. The bond lengths and bond angles are within normal ranges. The dihedral angle between the least-squares planes of the aromatic rings within eac...

In the title compound, C(15)H(12)Cl(2)N(2)O(3)·CH(3)OH, the Schiff base mol-ecule is nearly planar, with a dihedral angle of 4.5 (2)° between the two benzene rings. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed. The methanol solvent mol-ecule is linked to the Schiff base mol-ecule through inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title complex, [Cu(C(12)H(16)NO(3))(2)], adopts a distorted square-planar coordination geometry with the Cu(II) ion situated on a crystallographic inversion center. The two Schiff base ligands are coordinated in a trans fashion. In the crystal structure, non-classical inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the ether O atoms link the Schiff base mol-ecules into a two-dimensional netw...
