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...

A new series of photo-luminescent Zn(II) and Mg(II) Schiff base complexes were prepared by treatment of the arylethynyl-substituted salicylaldehydes obtained from the Sonogashira reaction with the metal salt followed by addition of the different diamines. Most square-planar Zn(II) complexes exhibited good quantum efficiencies. The Mg(II) complexes displayed even higher quantum yields than the c...

A series of coordination compounds have been prepared with tridentate Schiff base ligands, 2 ethyl-[(hydroxy propyl)]3, 1 (4H) quinazoline4-semicarbazone [EHPQS) and 2-ethyl-[(hydroxy propyl)]3, 1 (4H) quinazoline4-thiosemicarbozone [EHPQT]. The obtained complexes were characterized by molar mass, elemental analysis, infrared spectra, electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibility molar conductanc...

The title compound, [Cd(H(2)O)(6)][Cu(C(15)H(17)N(2)O(4))](2)·2H(2)O, has a chiral structure. Copper has a square-planar coordination with two N and two O atoms of the quadridentate chiral Schiff base ligand. The Cd(2+) ion is coordinated by six aqua ligands with a slightly distorted octa-hedral configuration. Ions are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and the [Cd(H(2)O)(6)](2+) cations and [CuL]...

A condensation reaction of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole with 2-pyrrolecarboxaldehyde to form tridentate NNN donor Schiff base has been performed. The prepared Schiff base was further used for the formation of metal complexes having stoichiometry [M(L)(2)]X(n), where M=Cu(II) or Zn(II), L=N-(2-pyrrolylmethylene)-2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole, X=SO(4) (2-), NO(3) (-), C(2)O(4) (2-) or CH(3)CO(2-) and n=...

A new Schiff base has been synthesized from 3-(3-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4carbaldehyde and O-amino phenol. Metal complexes of the Schiff base have been synthesized from acetate salt of Cu (II), Co (II) and Ni (II) metal in the alcoholic medium. The newly prepared Schiff base ligand and metal complexes have been characterized by various physicochemical techniques such as Elemental anal...

In this paper, plate-like NiO nanoparticles were prepared by one-pot solid-state thermal decomposition of nickel (II) Schiff base complex as new precursor. First, the nickel (II) Schiff base precursor was prepared by solid-state grinding using nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate, Ni(NO3)2∙6H2O, and the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis-(salicylidene) benzene-1,4-diamine) for 30 min without using any solv...

INTRODUCTION New infections of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remain a big problem in many countries. Different interventions have been implemented to improve the general knowledge of HIV, with the hypothesis that increasing HIV knowledge will reduce risky sexual behavior (RSB). However, HIV knowledge may not necessarily reduce RSB. This study explores HIV knowledge and its effect on RSB. ...

Schiff bases are versatile ligands and known to be synthesized from the condensation of an amino compound with carbonyl compounds. These compounds along with their metal complexes are considered to be an important as catalysts in various biological processes. Also Schiff base complexes are gaining popularity among the various industries including polymers, dyes and pharmaceutical. This review s...

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the comparative toxicities and blood concentrations of amantadine hydrochloride and rimantadine hydrochloride were determined. Healthy, working adults ingested either 200 (n = 52) or 300 mg (n = 196) per day in divided doses for 4.5 days. Mean plasma drug concentrations at 4 h after the first dose were lower in rimantadine recipients given 100- (140 ...
