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...

In the title complex, [CuEr(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)]·CH(3)COCH(3), the Cu(II) ion is coordinated in a square-planar environment by two O atoms and two N atoms of a Schiff base ligand. The Er(III) ion is bis-chelated by three nitrate ligands and coordinated by four O atoms of the Schiff base ligand in a slightly distorted bicapped square-anti-prismatic environment.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(C(15)H(12)BrN(3)O(2)S)(C(12)H(12)N(2))]·C(3)H(7)NO, contains two independent mol-ecules with a similar structure. The doubly deprotonated Schiff base ligand O,N,S-chelates to the metal atom, and the three coordinating atoms along with one N atom of the substituted 2,2'-bipyridine ligand constitute the square plane of the distorted square pyramid su...

Schiff base, azetidinone and 4-thiazolidinone derivatives of para aminosalicylic acid were synthesised. It was planned to employ the structure based computer aided drug designing (CADD) to Schiff base, azetidinone and 4thiazolidinoneof para aminosalicylic acid. Approach was employed to understand the probable binding of para aminosalicylic acid on the active site of AMpC enzyme of HKY28 which w...

In the title compound, C(32)H(28)N(2)·CH(2)Cl(2), the complete Schiff base and solvent molecules are both generated by crystallographic twofold axes, with the two C atoms of the former and the C atom of the latter lying on the rotation axis. The central benzene ring is substituted with two chiral groups including imine functionalities, with the common E configuration. The dihedral angle between...

The title compound, C(16)H(15)Cl(2)N(3)O(2)·CH(3)OH, a Schiff base molecule, is prepared by the reaction of 3,5-dichloro-salicyl-aldehyde with 4-dimethyl-amino-benzohydrazide in methanol. The Schiff base mol-ecule is approximately planar, with a mean deviation from the least-squares plane defined by the non-H atoms of 0.0452 (3) Å, and with a dihedral angle between the benzene rings of 4.2 (3)°...

In vertebrate visual pigments, a glutamic acid serves as a negative counterion to the positively charged chromophore, a protonated Schiff base of retinal. When photoisomerization leads to the Schiff base deprotonating, the anionic glutamic acid becomes protonated, forming a neutral species that activates the visual cascade. We show that in octopus rhodopsin, the glutamic acid has no anionic cou...
