New salicylaldimine nickel complexes, comprising only earth-abundant elements, have been developed for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution in aqueous media. The second-sphere ether functionalities on the periphery of the complexes enhance the electrocatalytic activity in the presence of alkali metal cations. The electrocatalysts demonstrate improved performances especially in the economical and...

Eight new ruthenium and five new osmium p-cymene half-sandwich complexes have been synthesized, characterized and evaluated for antimalarial activity. All complexes contain ligands that are based on a 4-chloroquinoline framework related to the antimalarial drug chloroquine. Ligands HL(1-8) are salicylaldimine derivatives, where HL(1) = N-(2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)methylimino)ethyl)-7-chloroquinolin-...

In the crystal structure of the title Schiff base, C(20)H(25)N(3)O(2), the salicylaldimine groups at each end of the mol-ecule are essentially planar and make a dihedral angle of 84.94 (3)° with each other. There are strong intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and a weak inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond.

In the title Schiff base, C(22)H(20)N(2)O(2), the benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 53.92 (1) and 3.62 (1)° with the two salicylaldimine groups. There are two strong O-H⋯N intra-molecular hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions (average distance 3.39 Å).

The reactivity of triethylaluminum towards salicylaldimine sulfonamides was probed, affording well-defined complexes through consecutive protonolysis of two Al-C bonds by the proligand. These complexes, when combined with an achiral anilinic N-oxide, catalyze the asymmetric addition of trimethylsilylcyanide to a wide range of aldehydes, with good activity and enantioselectivity (up to 91% ee). ...

In the title mol-ecule, C(30)H(36)N(2)O(2), the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the two benzene rings of the butyl-salicylaldimine groups are 14.3 (2) and 40.6 (2)°. There are two strong intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds which form S(6) rings. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with refined components of 0.270 (4) and 0.730 (4).

Thermally stable zinc(II) Schiff base polymers (decomposition temperature up to 461 degrees C; M(n)= 13580 to 20440) formed by self-assembly reactions of zinc(II) salts and salicylaldimine monomers exhibit blue to yellow PL with quantum yields up to 0.34 in DMF; PLEDs employing these polymers as emitters give green or orange EL with turn-on voltage at 5 and 6 V and maximum efficiency of 2.0 and...

In the zwitterionic title compound, C(18)H(17)Br(4)N(3)O(2), the two salicylaldimine groups form a dihedral angle of 51.94 (2)° and the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring planes is 51.14 (2)°. One of the C atoms adjacent to the aza N atom is disordered over two positions; the site-occupancy factors are 0.51 (1) and 0.49 (1). There are two strong intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds in the...

A series of mono- and multimeric polyamine-containing ferrocenyl complexes containing a quinoline motif were prepared. The complexes were characterised by standard techniques. The molecular structure of the monomeric salicylaldimine derivative was elucidated using single crystal X-ray diffraction and was consistent with the proposed structure. The antiplasmodial activity of the compounds were e...
