Mixed ligands biologically active complexes of cobalt(II), copper(II) and nickel(II) with nicotinoylhydrazine-derived ONO, NNO and SNO donor schiff-base ligands having the same metal ion but different anions such as sulphate, nitrate, oxalate and acetate have been synthesised and characterised on the basis of their physical, analytical and spectral data. In order to evaluate the role of anions ...

By a condensation of aliphatic amine containing adamantyl groups (amantadine, memantine, or 3-amino-1-adamantanol) and 5-fluorosalicylaldehyde, three new Schiff base ligands, HL1–3, were synthesized. One base, zinc(II) chloride, NaOH stirred in anhydrous methanol generating complexes, C34H38F2N2O2Zn (1), C38H46F2N2O2Zn (2), C34H38F2N2O4Zn (3), respectively. These complexes characterized by melt...

Schiff bases and their metal complexes are very important in medicinal and pharmaceutical fields because of their wide spectrum of biological activities. Transition metal complexes derived from the Schiff base ligands with biological activity have been widely studied. A series of Ni (II) complexes were prepared by the reaction of salicyldimine with Nickel Oxide at room temperature. The chemical...

Sensory rhodopsin I (SRI) in Halobacterium salinarum acts as a receptor for single-quantum attractant and two-quantum repellent phototaxis, transmitting light stimuli via its bound transducer HtrI. Signal-inverting mutations in the SRI-HtrI complex reverse the single-quantum response from attractant to repellent. Fast intramolecular charge movements reported here reveal that the unphotolyzed SR...

New hetero-binuclear Hg-Cu Schiff base complexes were prepared by reaction of 2,2'-[1,1'-(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyldinitrilo)-diethyldyne]diphenolato}copper(II) (CuL1) and 6,6'-X-2,2'-[(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato copper(II) [(X = ethoxy (CuL2) and ‎methoxy (CuL3)], with HgCl2 to give [Cu(L1)HgCl2] (1), [Cu(L2)HgCl2] (2), and [Cu(L3)HgCl2] (3), ‎res...

Schiff base ligand (E)-4-[(hydroxyl phenylimino)methyl]benzene-1, 2-diol (H3L) was prepared from the condensation reaction of Protochatechu aldehyde (3, 4-dihydroxybenzaldhyde) with 2-amino phenol. From the direct reaction of the ligand (H3L) with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) chlorides and Fe(III) and Zn(II) nitrates in 2M:1L molar ratio, the five new neutral complexes were prepared. The character...

The present work stems from our interest in the synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial evaluation of organosilicon(IV) complexes of a class of amino-acid-based Schiff base which have been prepared by the interaction of ethoxytrimethylsilane with the Schiff bases (N OH) in 1 : 1 molar ratio. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, and spectroscop...

A new Sulfamethoxazole Schiff base (E)-4-(4-methoxybenzylideneamino)-N(5-methylis-oxazol-3-yl) benzenesulfonamide (C18H17N3O4S), and its copper complex were synthesized and the structures elucidated on the basis of Physiochemical methods. The studies indicate an octahedral structure for the complexes with the (C22H27N3O10SCu) formula. The IR spectra suggest that the ligand act as tridentate (fr...

addition of potassium cyanide to a mixture of schiff base and lithium perchlorate afforded a-aminonitriles in high yields. addition of potassium cyanide to a methanolic solution of schiff base and phosphoric acid afforded a-aminonitriles. when the reaction mixture was refluxed it gave a-amino acids in high yields.

A Schiff base-like ligand bearing a maleonitrile backbone was synthesized and converted in two steps to an octahedral iron(II) complex with axial imidazole ligands. Single crystal X-ray structure analysis of this revealed 3D hydrogen bond network based on the NH groups ligands that act as donors. Interestingly, temperature-dependent magnetic measurements showed abrupt spin crossover hysteresis ...
