Some selected transition (Cu, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) and non-transition (Zn and Pb) metal complexes of arylhydrazones, namely o-hydroxyacetophenone benzoylhydrazone (HBH) and o-mthoxybenzaldehyde benzoylhydrazone (MBH) have been isolated and characterized by a combination of elemental analysis, spectral (UV-Vis., IR, H NMR) and magnetic measurements. Only two divalent metals (Cu and Ni) yield s...

An overview is presented of the methodology and computations of nuclear shielding and spin–spin coupling constants of transition metal complexes. The presented material also includes an outline of relativistic approaches and their applications to heavy transition metals.

Recently synthesized acyclic silylenes have the potential to rival transition metal complexes in performing single site small molecule activation, which is significant because of the need to find cheap and green alternatives to transition metal complexes for this important class of reactions. However, the current computational study, a full quantum chemical investigation with density functional...

AbstractThe ability of hesperidin (HP) to form complexes with five metals; cobalt, nickel, zinc, calcium and magnesium was investigated. The complexation was studied using U.V spectroscopic titration, in methanol as well as aqueous buffer solutions (physiological conditions). Potential complexes were studied by IR and NMR spectroscopy, melting point and their solubility were also evaluated. The...

The development of environmentally benign reactions is an important goal in synthetic organic chemistry and chemical engineering. However, catalytic enantioselective oxidations using transition-metal complexes are limited when the oxidant is hydrogen peroxide. The two main difficulties of using hydrogen peroxide in the presence of transition metal complexes are the homolytic cleavage generating...

n-propylsalicylidene based on silica as ion exchanger (ie) was used for the separation by complexation of mn2+, co2+, ni2+, cu2+, hg2+, cr3+, fe3+, and uo22+ from their parent solutions. ie and its metal complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and infrared spectra, in addition to thermal analysis in atmospheric pressure. the mode of chelation and the proposed geometric str...

Transition metal complexes of ethylenediamine have attracted significant interest as prototype systems for a range of studies related to their chiroptical properties. In order to better elucidate the effects of different central metal ions and also different coordination numbers on the vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra, trans-1,2-diamino cyclohexane (chxn) was chosen as the chiral li...
