A new Schiff base ligand (L) obtained by the condensation reaction of N-acetylaceto-otoluidineand 2-aminopropanoic acid (an amino acid), is used to synthesize four mononuclearcomplexes of [MLCl] and [ML2] types (where M = Cu(II) and Zn(II); L = Schiff base) bykeeping the metal and ligand ratio as 1:1 and 1:2 respectively. This ligand and its complexeshave been characterized on the basis of diff...

Zinc sulphate is currently used for treatment of zinc deficiency. Its uptake by the body is poor, necessitating the administration of high doses. This leads to a range of unpleasant side effects. In order to increase the bioavailability of zinc, several zinc complexes have been designed and synthesized using bidentate ligands of hydroxypyranones and hydroxypyridinones. Elemental analysis in eac...

The precise analysis of redox chemistry of MN4-based macrocyclic complexes is of great importance because of stabilization of unusual oxidation states of metal ions by macrocyclic ligand and thus have various applications in biochemistry, electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, pharmaceuticals etc. In this work, MN4-macrocyclic complexes of Co (II) and Ni(II) transition metal ...

Stabilities and quantum molecular descriptors of cyclophoshphamide (an anticancer drug)-functionalized (8,0) zigzag and (4,4) armchair carbon nanotubes (CNTs) complexes in water were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Two attachments namely the sidewall- and tip-attachments are considered for the model constructions. Calculations of the total electronic energy (Et) and ...

In the present study, the cooperative and diminutive interplay between halogen, hydride, and cation-σ interactions are studied in HMgH···Li+(Na+)···NCCl, Li+(Na+)···HMgH···ClCN and HMgH···ClCN···Li+(Na+) complexes by means of ab initio calculations. To better understand the cooperative or diminutive effects in the ternar...

Lanthanide(III) chloro complexes of 4[N-(4’-hydroxy-3’-methoxybenzalidene) amino] antipyrine semicarbazone (HMBAAPS) (I) and 4[N-(3’,4’,5’-trimethoxybenzalidene) amino] antipyrine semicarbazone (TMBAAPS) (II) with the general composition LnCl3.2L (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy or Ho; L = HMBAAPS or TMBAAPS) are reported. All the complexes were synthesized in ethanolic medium and refluxed the ...

We report thermal, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and cytotoxicity studies of complexes of fluconazole (FCZ) with Cu (II), Fe(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Mn(II). From XRD measurements, FCZ and its metal complexes were identified as polycrystalline. Marked differences in the X-ray patterns of drug and its metal complexes revealed that the complexes are indeed different compounds and not just the m...

new diorganotin(iv) complexes of the type ph2snl2, bu2snl2 and me2snl2 of the ligands 2-thioacetic-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (hl1) and benzamidophenylalanine (hl2). have been synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical techniques such as (elemental analysis, and electrolytic conductance) and spectral uv-visible, ir and 1h, 13c and 119sn nmr). monomer structures for the complexes, bidentat...

Formation of the molecular complexes between meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and the p-acceptors 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) and tetracyanothylene (TCNE) in chloroform solution was investigated spectrophotometrically. The formation constants of the resulting 1:1 molecular complexes were determined using the Benesi-Hildebrand and Nash methods. The TPP-DDQ pro...
