Mixed ligand complexes of zinc (II) involving either mercaptyl thiazolidinone (1) [2-(2hydroxy benzoyl)-3-N-(2-mercaptyl)-1-Thiazolidin-4-one] or pyridine thiazolidinone (2) [ 2-(2hydroxy benzoyl-3-N-(2-Pyridinyl)-1-Thiazolidin-4-one] alone and along with thiourea have been obtained by partial or complete replacement of the strongly coordinated ammonia of ammine complex. All the products have b...

1-(3-(Pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)methanamine derivatives have been synthesized and underwent C–H bond activation to afford unsymmetrical NCN’ pincer palladacycles, which were characterised in the solid state. 2-Pyridinyl-phenol and -benzyl alcohols were then used as precursors to unsymmetrical PCN pincer palladacycles. Catalytic applications, where the palladacycle remains in the Pd(II) state, have be...

Protonated pyridine and its neutral counterparts (C5H6N) are important intermediates in organic and biological reactions and in the atmosphere. We have recorded the IR absorption spectra of the 1-pyridinium (C5H5NH(+)) cation, 1-pyridinyl (C5H5NH), and 4-pyridinyl (4-C5H6N) produced on electron bombardment during matrix deposition of a mixture of pyridine (C5H5N) and p-H2 at 3.2 K; all spectra ...

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is an invariably fatal disease of cats caused by systemic infection with a feline coronavirus (FCoV) termed feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV). The lethal pathology associated with FIP (granulomatous inflammation and T-cell lymphopenia) is thought to be mediated by aberrant modulation of the immune system due to infection of cells such as monocytes an...

S-(1-Oxido-2-pyridinyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethylthiouronium hexafluorophosphate (HOTT) facilitates the first examples of efficient radical cyclisation with (hetero)aromatic substitution via Barton ester intermediates. Cyclopropyl and alkyl radicals allow access to five, six and seven-membered alicyclic-ring fused heterocycles with and without an additional fused cyclopropane, including the skeleton ...
