The mixed Co(II)/Ni(II) complex, [Co2.67Ni1.33L₄(CH₃COO)₂][BPh₄]₂·0.75H₂O where HL = 4-(salicylaldimine)antipyrine, was isolated as an orange solid from the reaction of 4-(salicylaldimine)antipyrine, with mixed cobalt(II) acetate and nickel(II) acetate in ethanol. The complex was characterized by Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR), UltraViolet Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray singl...

Five different Nickel (II) complexes were prepared using a ONNO type Schiff base bis-N;N’(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine (LH2) and an ONO N(2-hydroxy)salicylaldimine (SAPH2) in the presence of NH3 or amine NiO nanoparticles obtained with thermal decomposition this air. The bases have been characterized by element analysis, IR spectroscopy, Thermogravimetry (TG), 1HNMR 13CNMR Mass Spectrometry...

A series of aluminum salen-type complexes [where salen is N,N'-bis(salicylaldimine)-1,2-ethylenediamine] bearing ligands that differ in their steric and electronic properties have been synthesized and investigated for the polymerization of rac-lactide. X-ray crystal structures on key precatalysts reveal metal coordination geometries intermediate between trigonal bipyramidal and square-based pyr...

We present significant algorithmic improvements to a recently proposed direct quantum dynamics method, based upon combining well established grid-based quantum dynamics approaches and expansions of the potential energy operator in terms of a weighted sum of Gaussian functions. Specifically, using a sum of low-dimensional Gaussian functions to represent the potential energy surface (PES), combin...

The title Mn(III) compound, {[Mn(C(18)H(18)N(2)O(4))(CH(3)COO)]·CH(3)OH}(n), was synthesized by a reaction between mangan-ese(II) acetate and ethyl-enebis(4-meth-oxy-salicylaldimine). The structure is made up of bis-(4-meth-oxy-salicyldene)ethyl-enediaminatomanganese(III) units bridged by acetate groups, with Mn-N = 1.9786 (9), Mn-O = 1.8784 (10) and Mn-O(acetate) = 2.056 (9) and 2.2571 (9) Å, ...

have been structurally characterized, relatively few free Schiff bases have been similarly characterized.1 N-Substituted salicylaldimines show photochromism and thermochromism in the solid state. These effects are produced by intramolecular proton transfer associated with a change in the π-electron configuration.2 As part of a general study of tetradentate Schiff bases, we determined the struct...
