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...

The present work describes the studies on the coordination behaviour of 4[N-(benzalidene) amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (BAAPS) (I), 4[N-(furfural)amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (FFAAPS) (II) and 4[N-(cinnamalidene)amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (CAAPS) (III) in presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or diphenyl sulfoxide (DPSO) towards Th4+ and UO22+ salts. All the complexes were isolate...

Formate dehydrogenases (FDHs) are capable of performing the reversible oxidation of formate and are enzymes of great interest for fuel cell applications and for the production of reduced carbon compounds as energy sources from CO2. Metal-containing FDHs in general contain a highly conserved active site, comprising a molybdenum (or tungsten) center coordinated by two molybdopterin guanine dinucl...

Two monoclinic polymorphs of [Ag(NH3)2]MnO4 containing a unique coordination mode permanganate ions were prepared, and the high-temperature polymorph was used as precursor to synthesize pure AgMnO2. The hydrogen bonds between atoms ammonia detected by IR spectroscopy single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Under thermal decomposition, these induced solid-phase quasi-intramolecular redox reaction [Ag(...

This work established a simple method for the size-selective synthesis of series ligand-protected platinum nanoclusters with superior oxygen reduction reactivity.

Analysis of the weak interactions within crystal structures 33 complexes various 4′-aromatic derivatives 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (tpy) shows that exceed dispersion are dominated, as expected, by cation⋯anion contacts but associated with both ligand–ligand and ligand–solvent contacts, sometimes multicentred, in generally complicated arrays, probably largely determined between stacked aromatic uni...

Breast cancer is a complicated disease that it is accompanied by different symptoms. Diagnosis of this disease is performed by various techniques. Using Radiopharmaceuticals is a new method to diagnose the said tumors. [18F]-FPTT is one of these nuclear medicines for detection of breast cancer. It seems that the binding of the title radiopharmaceutical to the progesterone receptor is...

Oxygen-coordinating metal species, such as metal–peroxo, –hydroperoxo, and –oxo complexes (Scheme 1), have been frequently invoked as reactive intermediates in the catalytic cycles of dioxygen activation by metalloenzymes, such as heme and nonheme iron monooxygenases and copper-containing enzymes. In biomimetic studies, synthetic analogues of these active oxygen intermediates have been intensiv...

Ir(III)-porphyrins are a relatively new group of phosphorescent dyes that have potential for oxygen sensing and labeling of biomolecules. The requirement of two axial ligands for the Ir(III) ion permits simple linkage of biomolecules by a one-step ligand-exchange reaction, for example, using precursor carbonyl chloride complexes and peptides containing histidine residue(s). Using this approach,...
