The neutral chloro complexes [(g-C5Me5)M(g-NC9H6O)Cl] as well as the cationic aqua complexes [(g-C5Me5)M(g-NC9H6O)(H2O)] (M = Rh, Ir) have been synthesized from the reaction of the dinuclear precursors [(g-C5Me5)MCl2]2 and 8-hydroxyquinoline. The single crystal X-ray structure analysis of [(g-C5Me5)Ir(g-NC9H6O)Cl] reveals for these complexes a piano-stool arrangement with the aromatic ligand, t...

Initial attempts to make [Ni(H2O)2(15-crown-5)](NO3)2, i.e. to insert the Ni2+ ion into the 15-crown-5 macrocycle, gave the mono- (two polymorphs) and dihydrate of a co-crystal of[Ni(H2O)6](NO3)2 and 15-crown-5 (1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane=15C5). Synthetic routes designed to restrict the water available to the Ni2+ cation gave three additional compounds, [Ni(H2O)6](NO3)2-trans-[Ni(H2O)...

The synthesis and crystal structures of three heteroleptic complexes Zn(II) Cd(II) with pyridine ligands (ethyl nicotinate (EtNic), N,N-diethylnicotinamide (DiEtNA), 2-amino-5-picoline (2Ampic) are presented. complex [Zn(EtNic)2Cl2] (1) showed a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry two EtNic ligand units chloride ions as monodentate ligands. Complexes [Zn(DiEtNA)(H2O)4(SO4)]·H2O (2) [Cd(...

The Schiff base complexes of Pb(II) and Sn(II) with bidentate (NO), [M(sal-An)2] (sal-An = aniline salicylideneiminato); tridentate (ONO), [M(sal-OAP)H2O)] (sal-OAP = orthoaminophenol salicylideneiminato); and tetradentate (N2O2), [M(sal-o-phdn)] (sal-o-phdn = N,N'-ophenylene bis(salicylideneiminato) have been synthesized. The infrared spectra were recorded and full assignments of all observed ...

Two new DTPA-bis(amide) based ligands conjugated with the arylpiperazinyl moiety were synthesized and subsequently transformed into their corresponding Gd(III) complexes 1 and 2 of the type [Gd(L)H2O]·nH2O. The relaxivity (R1) of these complexes was measured, which turned out to be comparable with that of Omniscan®, a commercially available MRI contrast agent. The cytotoxicity studies of these ...

The main aims of this work were the synthesis and characterization iron(III) complexes with a ditopic ligand H2L consisting bis(salicylidene)isothiosemicarbazide moiety N2O2 binding site crown-ether (O6) moiety. A series high-spin complexes, i.e. [FeIIILClBa(CH3OH)(H2O)0.5(ZnCl4)] (1), [FeIIILCl] (2), [FeIIIL(N3)] (3) [(FeIIIL)2O] (4), synthesized. characterized by mass spectrometry, IR UV-vis ...

BACKGROUND Hydrazones and their metal complexes were heavily studied due to their pharmacological applications such as antimicrobial, anticonvulsant analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents. This work aims to synthesize and characterize novel complexes of VO(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Zr(4+)and Pd(2+) ions with oxalo bis(2,3-butanedione-hydrazone). Single crystals of the li...

Our research group have been working on transistion metal complexes and their activity in the biology field, especially antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Novel pseudohalide ligands with orotic acid and its metal salt Ni(II) have been synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activities by disc diffusion method. The complexes have been characterized by IR, SEM, Raman, P-Xrd and UV...

The synthesis of the new Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes with 1-methyllumazine (1-methylpteridine2,4(1H ,3H )-dione, MLM) and 1,6,7-trymethyllumazine (1,6,7-trimethylpteridine-2,4(1H ,3H )-dione, MLMD) is described. The coordination chemistry of these ligands have been investigated and an usual bidentate bonding mode through the N5 and O4 atoms is observed. These com...
