The new Schiff bases are synthesis from various and aldehyde and amine under magnetic stirrer method .The synthesized Schiff base were characterized by spectral techniques (UV-Spectra & IR-Spectra). And the Schiff base are yellow colour solid and having sharp melting point and insoluble in organic solvents.

Normal and sickle erythrocytes were exposed in vitro to millimolar concentrations of 31 different carbonyl compounds. Schiff base (imine) linkages were formed with amino groups of intracellular hemoglobin. Adducts were isolated by gel electrofocusing and could be dissociated by dialysis. Aromatic aldehydes proved more reactive than aliphatic aldehydes, and ketones were unreactive. The influence...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on a number of Schiff base structures related to the retinal Schiff base in bacteriorhodopsin (BR). The proton affinity (PA) of the Schiff base group was calculated in species with different lengths of the conjugated double-bond system and at different cis/trans isomerization states. The results show that the length of the conjuga...

The fluorescence spectral characteristics and the interaction of several water-soluble metal complexes of Schiff-base with DNA are described. Among the complexes tested, Mn-Schiff-base bound to DNA showed a marked decrease in the fluorescence intensity with a blue shift of the excitation and emission peaks. Some hypochromism in the UV absorption spectra was also observed. KI quenching and compe...

A component of the shikimate biosynthetic pathway, dehydroquinate dehydratase (DHQD) catalyzes the dehydration of 3-dehydroquniate (DHQ) to 3-dehydroshikimate. In the type I DHQD reaction mechanism a lysine forms a Schiff base intermediate with DHQ. The Schiff base acts as an electron sink to facilitate the catalytic dehydration. To address the mechanism of Schiff base formation, we determined ...

A novel series of the Co/Zn-MSN catalysts with Si/Zn molar ratio of 10 and 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt% Cobalt (denoted by CZ-X-MSN) were synthesized using post-synthesis methods. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, TEM and nitrogen sorption methods. With a constant Si/Zn ratio, the increase of cobalt species from 1 to 7 wt% led to decrease the catalysts surface area from 408 m2g-1 for CZ-1-...

A selected solid complex of the Schiff base ligand derived from Glutaric anhydride with Cu(II) ion was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, Electronic, ESR Spectral Analyses, Magnetic susceptibility and Molar Conductance Measurements. The disappearance of ν(O-H) hydroxyl band of the phenolic and the lowering shift of the stretching frequency of the ν(CH=N) azomethine band in the ligand after...

Based-on the quasi-planar tetra-dentate Schiff-base ligand, a pair of manganese(III) Schiff-base enantiomers formulated as {[Mn(R,R-3-MeOSalcy)(H2O)(CH3OH)]ClO4}2 (1) and {[Mn(S,S-3-MeOSalcy)(H2O)(CH3OH)]ClO4}2 (2) (3-MeOSalcy = N,N′-(1,2-cyclohexanediylethylene)bis(3-methoxysalicylideneiminato)dianion) ...

Quantum Dot-Schiff base conjugate displays selectivity for Cu(2+) and Fe(3+) enabling the simultaneous detection of these ions in semi-aqueous solution; in contrast, the Schiff base itself displayed no selectivity.
