2-Aminothiazole undergoes condensation reactions with furane-, thiophene- and pyrrole-2-carboxylaldehyde to give tridentate NNO, NNS and NNN Schiff bases respectively. These tridentate Schiff bases formed complexes of the type [M (L)(2)]X(2) where [M=Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) or Zn(II), L=N-(2-furanylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L(1)), N-(2-thiophenylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L(2), N-(2-pyrrolylm...

Schiff base complexes of transition metals are of particular interest to inorganic chemists because of their structural, spectral and chemical properties, which are often strongly dependant on the nature of the ligand structure. Large number of metal (II) complexes with Schiff-base ligands has been extensively studied for their interesting structural specialties, applications and properties. Th...

A total of three new silicon (IV) complexes of Schiff base have been synthesized by the reaction of silicon tetrachloride with Schiff base ligands L1 (C16H16N2O2), L2 (C14H12N2O2) and L3 (C13H11NO2).The complexes obtained were characterized qualitatively and quantitatively by using micro-elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. From the spectral studies we could con...

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Cu(C(11)H(16)N(3)O)]ClO(4), consists of two Cu(II) ions coordinated by Schiff base ligands and two perchlorate anions. The Schiff base mol-ecules are linked to the Cu(II) atoms via three N atoms and one O atom, resulting in a square-planar geometry. Inter-molecular hydrogen bonds involving the NH groups as donors and O atoms of the perchlorate anions a...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C(12)H(18)N(2)O(2))(2)](ClO(4))(2), consists of one-half of a centrosymmetric mononuclear Schiff base nickel(II) complex cation and one perchlorate anion. The Ni(II) ion, lying on the inversion center, is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two Schiff base ligands, forming a square-planar geometry. The crystal packing is stabilized by N...

Within the current challenges in medicinal chemistry, development of new and better therapeutic agents effective against infectious diseases produced by bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites stands out. With chemotherapy as one main strategies these focusing on administration organic inorganic drugs, latter is generally based synergistic effect formation metal complexes with biologically active c...

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...
