We investigate the anti-cancer stem cell (CSC) properties of two copper(II) complexes containing 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline and a S, N, X-Schiff base ligand, where X=O (1) or S (2). Complex 1 was previously reported by us, is first metal complex to induce cytotoxic immunogenic death breast CSCs. 2 structural analogue 1, phenolate moiety (within Schiff ligand) replaced thiophenolate group....

Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy was applied to study the structural change of a Ni(II) complex (denoted by [Ni(II)L]) with a chiral Schiff base ligand, (R)- or (S)-2,2'-bis(salicylideneamino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (denoted by H2L), in solution. The major signals in the mid-IR region were assigned on the basis of comparison with the DFT-calculated spectra. The complex transformed rev...

In the title complex, [NiSm(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)(CH(4)O)(2)]·2CH(3)OH, the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms of a deprotonated Schiff base ligand and by two O atoms of two methanol ligands in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Sm(III) ion is coordinated by six O atoms from three chelating nitrate ligands and four O atoms from a Schiff base ligand in a...

In the molecular structure of the title compound, [NaNi(C18H18N2O4)(NO3)(CH3OH)], the Ni(2+) ion has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment defined by two N and two O atoms which belong to a Schiff base ligand, viz. 6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methanylyl-idene)]diphenolate. Seven O atoms form the coordination environment of the Na(+) ion: four from the ...

The title complex, [Ni(C20H14ClN3O)], with an asymmetrically chloride-appended Schiff base ligand has been synthesized and structurally characterized at 100 K. In the compound, the central nickel(II) ion has a square-planar coordination geometry with N3O donors of the π-conjugated tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand. In the crystal, the complexes are connected into an inversion dimer via an Ni⋯Ni ...

The coordination chemistry of transition metal complexes has been progressing at a tremendous pace. These complexes were finding use in the field of homogeneous catalysis, analytical chemistry and biological system. The presence of thiocyanto group in mixed ligand coordinated complexes of transition metal was reported to have an ability to influence the biochemical behaviour of the complexes. C...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, [CuNa(C(18)H(18)N(2)O(4))(ClO(4))(CH(3)OH)], is almost planar with mean deviation of 5.2 (8)°. The coordination environment of the Cu(II) ion is distorted square-planar and it is N(2)O(2)-chelated by the 6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolate Schiff base ligand. The Na atom is chelated by the four O atoms of the Schiff bas...

The title Fe(III) complex, [Fe(C(22)H(32)N(4)O(2))]I, contains a six-coordinate FeN(4)O(2) cation in which the ligand is a reduced Schiff base resulting from the NaBH(4) reduction of the condensation product between salicylaldehyde and 1,5,8,12-tetra-azadodecane. In spite of the increased flexibility of the saturated backbone of the ligand compared to the Schiff base from which it was synthesiz...

In the crystal of the dinuclear title compound, [Cu(2)(C(13)H(13)N(2)O)(2)(ClO(4))(2)]·2CH(3)CN, the two bridging perchlorate ions chelate to the two Cu(II) atoms in a μ-O:O' fashion on opposite sides of the equatorial plane. The Cu(II) ions display a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry (in the usual 4 + 2 Jahn-Teller arrangement), each being coordinated by two O atoms from the two perc...

In comparison with the previous refinement of the title complex, [Zn(NCS)(2)(C(12)H(18)N(2)O)], the present redetermination reveals a different location of the non-carbon attached H atom. Whereas in the previous refinement this H atom was modelled as part of a phenol OH group, the present study indicates a zwitterionic Schiff base ligand with a deprotonated OH group and a protonated tertiary am...
