the reaction of copper(ii) chloride and zinc(ii) chloride with n-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(1'-salicylaldehydene-2'-imine-ethane)-butanamide(h2l2a) or (mpsb), n-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(1'-(3'-methoxysalicylaldehydene-2'-imine-ethane)-butanamide (h2l2b) or (mpmsb) and n-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(1'-(2'-hydroxyacetylene-2'-imine-ethane)-butanamide (h2l2c) (mphb) leads to th...

The syntheses and crystal structures of 0.25-aqua-(benzene-1,4-di-carboxyl-ato-κ(2) O,O')bis-(sparfloxacin-κ(2) O,O')manganese(II) dihydrate, [Mn(C8H4O4)(C19H22F2N4O3)2(H2O)0.25]·2H2O or [Mn(bdc)(Hspar)2(H2O)0.25]·2H2O, (I), and bis-(sparfloxacin-κ(2) O,O')copper(II) benzene-1,4-di-carboxyl-ate dihydrate, [Cu(C19H22F2N4O3)2](C8H4O4)·2H2O or [Cu(Hspar)2](bdc)·2H2O, (II), are reported (Hspar = sp...

The potential tridentate Schiff base ligand 2-[1-(2-pyridyl-methyl-imino)eth-yl]pyrrole (HL) was synthesized from the condensation of 2-acetyl-pyrrole with 2-amino-methyl-pyridine. The title compound, [Cu(C(12)H(12)N(3))Cl], was synthesized from HL and copper(II) chloride using triethyl-amine as a base to deprotonate the pyrrole NH group. The title compound is a monomer and the central copper(I...
