A new family of copper(I) complexes with "glycoligands" containing a central saccharide scaffold, with 2-picolyl ether groups or 2-picolylamine or N-imidazolylamine groups, has been prepared and characterized. For this purpose, the following tetradentate ligands have been synthesized: methyl 2,3-di-O-(2-picolyl)-alpha-D-lyxofuranoside (L1), 1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-3,4-di-O-(2-picolyl)-d-galactitol ...

Textile industry effluents contain reactive dyes that may harm our receiving waters. A typical reactive blue (RB) 19 dye is frequently detected in significant concentrations in textile industry effluents. Such dyes have generally shown resistance to decomposition and tend to persist in the environment for long periods and multiply the impacts to water and environment. Therefore, the present inv...

The complex-formation equilibria of the system Ni(II)/β-alaninehydroxamic acid (β-AlaHA, LH) have been studied in solution by using potentiometry, calorimetry, ESI mass spectrometry and UV-Visible spectrophotometry. A series of mononuclear and polynuclear species have been identified at different pH and for different Ni(II)/ligand ratios. Among the polymetallic species, we have identified the 1...

A bioactive ligand and its dinuclear metal(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Visible), nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR), mass spectroscopy and molar conductance measurements. The ligand has been crystalized in the monoclinic system with a P21/c space group. The biological activities of metal complexes ...
