A series of new heteroleptic chelated copper(II) complexes that encompass N,N-dibezyl substituted derivative of ethylenediamine (X-diamine) and acetylacetonate (acac) were prepared.  The IR and electronic absorption spectra and the molar conductivity of the complexes are presented and discussed.  The molar conductivity values of the complexes in different solvents reveals a predominance of elec...

Several new cobalt(III) complexes containing (3-aminopropyl)dimethylphosphine (pdmp) have been prepared, and their molecular structures have been determined. A dichloro complex of trans(Cl,Cl)-cis(P,P)-[CoCl(2)(pdmp)(2)]PF(6) (1) was prepared from trans-[CoCl(2)(py)(4)]Cl.6H(2)O and pdmp. X-Ray crystallography confirmed the (C(2))-chair(2) conformation of two six-membered pdmp chelate rings in ...

The infrared and electronic absorption spectra of a series of new heteroleptic chelated copper (II) complexes [Cu(diamine)(acac)]X that encompass N,N'-1,6-bis(2-bromophenyl)-2,5-diazahexane (diamine), acetylacetonate (acac) and ClO , BPh , PF and BF (X) were studied. The IR, electronic absorption spectra and 4 4 6 4 the molar conductivity of the newly prepared complexes were presented and discu...

In the title complex, [Ni(C(7)H(4)NO(3)S)(2)(C(3)H(10)N(2))(2)] or [Ni(sac)(2)(pen)(2)] (sac = saccharinate or 1,1,3-trioxo-2,3-dihydro-1λ(6,2)-benzothia-zol-2-ide and pen = propane-1,3-diamine), the Ni(II) ion sits on an inversion center, being coordinated by two N atoms of the sac ligands, which occupy trans positions, and four N atoms of the bidentate pen ligands to define a distorted octa-h...

In the title compound, [CrCl(2)(C(3)H(10)N(2))(2)]ClO(4), the Cr(III) atom is coordinated equatorially by four N atoms of two propane-1,3-diamine (tn) ligands and axially by two mutually trans Cl atoms, thus displaying a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry with no crystallographically imposed symmetry. The two six-membered chair chelate rings in the complex cation are in an anti conformatio...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C(3)H(10)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](C(4)O(4))·4H(2)O, contains one-half of the diaqua-bis(1,3-propane-diamine)nickel(II) cation, one-half of the centrosymmetric squarate anion and two uncoordinated water mol-ecules. In the cation, the Ni(II) atom is located on a crystallographic inversion centre and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geomet...

In the title compound, [CrCl(2)(C(3)H(10)N(2))(2)](2)[ZnCl(4)], the Cr(III) atom is coordinated by four N atoms of propane-1,3-diamine (tn) and two Cl atoms in a trans arrangement, displaying a distorted octa-hedral geometry with crystallographic inversion symmetry; the Zn atom in the [ZnCl(4)](2-) anion lies on a -4 axis. The orientations of the two six-membered chelate rings in the complex ca...

The presence of ferric chelate reducing activity in sunflower [Helianthus annuus L.) leaves has been studied by submerging leaf discs in a solution with Fe(lll)-ethylenediaminetetra-acetate (FeEDTA), bathophenanthroline disulphonate (BPDS) and vacuum infiltration. The effect of different factors on the Fe(lll) reduction rate was studied. Ferric reduction rate was about 10-fold higher in the lig...

As is well known, L-ascorbic acid (AA) is catalytically oxidized in the presence of Cu". It is also known that acidic chelating agents, such as EDTA, have an inhibitory effect on this oxidation reaction, whereas basic chelating agents, such as ethylene diamine (EDA) , have an accelerating effect. Both the inhibition and the acceleration are considered to be due to chelation with Cu-" . The auth...
