Substitution of an acetylacetonate by a carboxylate in the neutral (acac)2Cu(II) was achieved by its reaction with triand dichloroacetic acid in benzene (HCO2R where R = CCI3 or CHCI2; Hacac = acetylacetone) which led to the formation of the mixed chelate square planar complex (acac)Cu(OCOR). The later complex, R = CCI3, reacted with heterocyclic bases to produce the square pyramidal complexes ...

This paper reports an experimental study on the synthesis and electrochemical properties of InVO4 nanotube arrays fabricated by capillary-enforced sol-filling in templates in combination with solvent-evaporation induced deposition. InVO4 sol was synthesized using the sol–gel route from vanadium oxoisopropoxide and indium nitrate with ethanol as the solvent. Nanotube arrays of InVO4 were prepare...

We describe the first use of Bis-tris propane {2,2'-(propane-1,3-diyldiimino)bis[2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol], H(6)L}, in nickel and cobalt chemistry and report the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of [Ni(4)(H(4)L)(H(3)L)(acac)(2)](+) (1) and [Co(II)(3)Co(III)(2)(H(2)L)(2)(acac)(3)(MeOH)](+) (2).

Six novel copper(ii) complexes of [CuCl]ClO4 (), [Cu(acac)]PF6 (), [CuCl]2(PF6)2 (), [CuCl]2(PF6)2 (), [Cu(acac)]PF6 () and [Cu(acac)]PF6 (), ( = 1-naphthyl-N,N-[bis(2-pyridyl)methyl]amine, = R/S-1-naphthyl-N,N-[bis(2-pyridyl)methyl]ethanamine, acac = diacetone) were synthesized to serve as artificial nucleases. All complexes were structurally characterized using X-ray crystallography. The crys...

Volatile trends are established for a series of M(b-diketonate)n complexes, where M = Cu (n = 2); Al, Sc, Cr, Fe, Co, Ga (n = 3); Zr (n = 4) and b-diketonate = acetylacetonate (acac), trifluoroacetylacetonate (tfac), hexafluoroacetylacetonate (hfac) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate (tmhd). Sublimation enthalpies (DHsub) were calculated from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data, which...

A novel series of mixed-valent, heteroleptic transition metal diketonates that can be utilized as prospective single-source precursors for the low-temperature preparation of oxide materials are reported. The first mixed-valent iron β-diketonates with different FeIII/FeII ratios have been synthesized by applying the mixed-ligand approach. Based on nearly quantitative reaction yields and analysis...
