In the title mononuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(C(7)H(5)ClNO)(2)], the Cu atom, situated on an inversion center, is four-coordinated, in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry, by the N- and O-donor atoms of two symmetry-related 4-chloro-2-(imino-meth-yl)phenolate Schiff base ligands.

The one-pot, multi-component synthesis of 4,4′-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ols) by tandem Knoevenagel-Michael reaction of phenylhydrazine, ethyl acetoacetate and aldehydes in the presence of silica-bonded N-propylpiperazine sulfamic acid (SBPPSA) as a recyclable solid acid catalyst was reported. SBPPSA showed much the same efficiency when used in consecutive reaction runs.

The title compound, [[Ti(C(2)H(10)N)(2)(C(11)H(10)N(3))(2)] or Ti(C(11)H(10)N(3))(2)(NEt(2))(2)], was prepared by direct reaction of 2-(N-phenyl-methyl-imino-meth-yl)-1H-imidazole and [Ti(NEt(2))(4)]. The Ti(IV) atom is in a pseudo-octa-hedral coordination environ-ment with the imidazolido-group N-atoms occupying apical positions and amido- and imino-N-atoms cis-located in the equatorial plane....

The title compound, C(21)H(20)N(4), is a bidentate Schiff base ligand. An intra-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bond forms a five-membered ring, producing an S(5) ring motif. The cyano and imino [-C(H(2))-N=C-] functional groups are coplanar with the benzene ring in each half of the mol-ecule. The packing of the mol-ecules is controlled by C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3...

In the toluene hemisolvated tripodal tris-(2-amino-ethyl)amine Schiff base, C(30)H(33)Cl(3)N(4)O(3)·0.5C(7)H(8), one of the three imino N atoms is protonated, forming a hydrogen bond with the O atom at an adjacent benzene ring. The other two imino N atoms act as hydrogen-bond acceptors from phenolate OH groups. The toluene solvent mol-ecule is disordered about a centre of inversion.

The electronic structure of a family of bis(imino)pyridine iron dihalide, monohalide, and neutral ligand compounds has been investigated by spectroscopic and computational methods. The metrical parameters combined with Mössbauer spectroscopic and magnetic data for ((i)PrPDI)FeCl(2) ((i)PrPDI = 2,6-(2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3)N=CMe)(2)C(5)H(3)N) established a high-spin ferrous center ligated by a neutr...
