The complexation reactions between N,N'-3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanebis (salicylaldimine) [saldioxen(I)] and Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) were studied spectrophotometrically in methanol solution at 25 °C. The stoichiometry of the complexes were obtained as 2:1 and 1:1 sadioxen-metal ion using mole ratio method. The formation constants of the complexes were determined, a...

Schiff bases and their metal complexes are very important in medicinal and pharmaceutical fields because of their wide spectrum of biological activities. Transition metal complexes derived from the Schiff base ligands with biological activity have been widely studied. A series of Ni (II) complexes were prepared by the reaction of salicyldimine with Nickel Oxide at room temperature. The chemical...

A group of readily available zirconium catalysts incapable of ethene-co-styrene polymerization are remarkably active and selective for the production of the new polymer ethene-co-tert-butylstyrene via a single site mechanism.

The syntheses and single crystal X-ray analyses of five strapped salicylaldoxime/salicylaldimine based dicopper(ii) receptors utilising a new piperazine linker are described. The complexes form 2 + 2 metallocycles and the molecular structures of all four complexes possess a small internal cavity with the utilisation of a short piperazine linker. The molecular structures of complexes [Cu2(L(4) -...
