Three new ruthenium complexes with bidentate chloroquine analogue ligands, [Ru(η(6)-cym)(L(1))Cl]Cl (1, cym = p-cymene, L(1) = N-(2-((pyridin-2-yl)methylamino)ethyl)-7-chloroquinolin-4-amine), [Ru(η(6)-cym)(L(2))Cl]Cl (2, L(2) = N-(2-((1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methylamino)ethyl)-7-chloroquinolin-4-amine) and [Ru(η(6)-cym)(L(3))Cl] (3, L(3) = N-(2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)methylimino)ethyl)-7-chloroqu...

Two potentially heptadentate (N4O3) tripodal Schiff-base ligands: tris(3(salicylideneimino)propyl)amine (H3L1) and tris(3-(4'-hydroxysalicylideneimino)propyl)amine (H3L2) have been prepared and characterized by various spectroscopic methods (IR, FAB-MS, NMR). They are derived from the condensation reactions of tris(3-aminopropyl)amine (tpt), with 3 equivalents of either salicylaldehyde or the r...

The mononuclear neutral title complex, [Ni(NCS)(2)(C(10)H(9)N(3))(2)], shows a cis-octa-hedral geometry around the Ni(II) ion, formed by two chelating di-2-pyridyl-amine (Hdpa) ligands and two thio-cyanate anions. Both amine H atoms are involved in N-H⋯S hydrogen bonding, resulting in the formation of layers of inter-linked mol-ecules parallel to the ab plane, which are further held together by...

known to have a coordination number of seven. Nearly all of them have the basic formulation [Ln(bidentate)3(unidentate)]. On the contrary, structurally characterized examples of a heptadentate ligand coordinating one metal ion are rare. Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) condenses with salicylaldehyde or its substituted analogs in a 1:3 molar ratio to form Schiff-bases which are potentially tribasi...

A comparative study of amine and silver carboxylate adducts [R1COOAg-2(R2NH2)] (R1 = 1, 7, 11; R2 = 8, 12) as a key intermediate in NPs synthesis is carried out via differential scanning calorimetry, solid-state FT-infrared spectroscopy, 13C CP MAS NMR, powder X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and various solution NMR spectroscopies (1H and 13C NMR, pulsed field gradient s...

To investigate the influence of a potentially N4-tripodal amine ligand on the structure and internal exchange processes of its complexes with late transition metals, five rhodium, six palladium and two platinum complexes have been prepared from seven alkyl-bridged N-heterocyclic amine tripodal ligands: tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, (2-(2-pyridylethyl))bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, bis(2-(2-pyridylet...

The application of a variety of iron complexes with chelating amine ligands as pre-catalysts in the representative cross-coupling of 4-tolylmagnesium bromide with cyclohexyl bromide was investigated. The results from this study indicate the performance of the pre-catalyst is inversely proportional to the strength of the chelate or macrocyclic effect of the amine ligand, as determined by the pro...

In the title complex, [Ni(C2N3)2(C9H24N4)], the Ni(II) atom is coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by one tris-(3-amino-prop-yl)amine (tris-apa) ligand and two dicyanamide (dca) ligands [one of them disordered in a 0.681 (19):0319 (19) ratio]. Inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the N atoms of the dca anions and the tris-apa amine H atoms result in the formation of a thre...

The title compound, [Zn(NCS)(2)(C(12)H(17)N(3)O)], was prepared by the reaction of zinc acetate with pyridine-2-carbaldehyde, 2-morpholinoethyl-amine and ammonium thio-cyanate in an ethanol solution. The Zn(II) atom is five coordinate with a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, coordinating with three N atoms of the Schiff base (2-morpholinoeth-yl)(2-pyridylmethyl-idene)amine and two N atom...

The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of [RuCl(2)(C(12)H(18))(C(5)H(7)NO)] reveals a distorted piano-stool geometry around the Ru(II) atom, with a hexa-methyl-benzene ligand, two chloride ligands and a furfuryl-amine ligand, the latter coordinating through the amine group. In the crystal, a dimeric structure is observed as a result of N-H⋯Cl inter-actions between two symmetry-related mol-...
