The characterization of competent intermediates metal complexes, involved in catalytic transformations for the activation small molecules, is an important target mechanistic comprehension and catalyst design. Iron complexes deserve particular attention, due to rich chemistry iron that allows their application both oxidation reduction processes. In particular, with tetradentate Schiff base ligan...

The objective of this preliminary study was to partially replace phenol in the synthesis of phenol-formaldehyde resin with feather protein. Feather protein–based resins, which contained one part feather protein and two parts phenol, were formulated under the conditions of two feather protein hydrolysis methods (with and without presence of phenol during hydrolysis), two formaldehyde/phenol mola...

Five rare earth complexeslanthanum(III),praseodymium(III),neodymium(III), samarium(III) and europium(III) have been synthesized from Schiff base ligand (N,N-bis (2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene) acetylhydrazone). The complexes were characterized based on elemental analysis, molar conductance, ultraviolet, infrared, mass, thermogravimetric and powder X-ray diffraction studies. Infrared spectra sug...

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined. The coordination geometry about the iron(II) center is a tetrahedrally distorted square plane formed by the four-coordinate N2O2 donor set of the Schiff-base imine-phenol ligand. Molecules of the title compound are not planar. The two Schiff-base moieties, which themselves are reasonably planar, are inclined at an angle of 31.5(1)...

The complex [Ni3L6]•1.56CH2Cl2 (HL = (E)-2-(((3,4-dimethylphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol) was isolated in the monoclinic C 2/c space group. All nickel atoms are six-coordinate with a atom bound to only O-phenol atoms, while two terminal cations surrounded by N3O3 atoms. This and its ligand (20 mg/mL DMSO) were tested as antimicrobials. Against fungi, amphotericin B caused 13 21 mm inhibition diamet...

The present investigation describes the synthesis and structural study of ligand 2-((1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyleneamino)phenol, which was used to generate three dimensio-nal supramolecular complex formulated as {[Ni(HL)2]2.[Ni(H2L)2]2.(Cl)4.(H2O)5}. title compound crystallizes in orthorhombic space group Fddd with following unit cell parameters: a = 13.9269(4) Å, b 29.5295(16) c 43.1739(15) V 1775...

A facile phase transfer procedure is described for the formation of uniform silver metal tips on II–VI semiconductor nanorods. Judicious choice of a functional ligand dimethyl phenol (DMP) which binds to the semiconductor rod in the organic phase enables the transfer of metal ions from the aqueous phase and their reduction onto the nanorod. The nanorod hybrids can be assembled into perpendicula...

The title oxidovanadium(V) complex, [V(C(17)H(17)N(3)O(2))(CH(3)O)O], was obtained by the reaction of 2-acetyl-phenol, 4-dimethyl-amino-benzohydrazide and vanadyl sulfate in methanol. The V(V) atom is five-coordinated by N,O,O'-donor atoms of the Schiff base ligand, one meth-oxy O atom and one oxide O atom, forming a square-pyramidal geometry.

Isostructural vanadium, niobium and tantalum complexes of bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-phenol)amine ([ONO]H3), were prepared and characterized to evaluate the impact of the metal ion on redox-activity of the ligand platform. New vanadium and niobium complexes with the general formula, [ONO]MCl2L (M = V, L = THF, 1-V; M = Nb, L = Et2O, 1-Nb) were prepared and structurally analysed by X-ray crystallog...
