The title complex, [Cu(C(12)H(16)NO(3))(2)], adopts a distorted square-planar coordination geometry with the Cu(II) ion situated on a crystallographic inversion center. The two Schiff base ligands are coordinated in a trans fashion. In the crystal structure, non-classical inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the ether O atoms link the Schiff base mol-ecules into a two-dimensional netw...

In the title complex, [CuEr(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)]·CH(3)COCH(3), the Cu(II) ion is coordinated in a square-planar environment by two O atoms and two N atoms of a Schiff base ligand. The Er(III) ion is bis-chelated by three nitrate ligands and coordinated by four O atoms of the Schiff base ligand in a slightly distorted bicapped square-anti-prismatic environment.

Schiff bases are versatile ligands and known to be synthesized from the condensation of an amino compound with carbonyl compounds. These compounds along with their metal complexes are considered to be an important as catalysts in various biological processes. Also Schiff base complexes are gaining popularity among the various industries including polymers, dyes and pharmaceutical. This review s...

A new heterocyclic Schiff base ligands and their complexes have been synthesized from 4-aminoantipyrine, thiophene-2-Carboxaldehyde and 2-amino benzoic acid. The ligands and its transition metal complexes of Cu (II), Co (II), Ni (II) and Zn (II) are characterized by UV, FTIR NMR and Mass studies. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of the ligands and the metal complexes were tested.

A series of iron(III) 1-D polymeric materials of the general formula [Fe(III)(Schiff-base)(L)](BPh(4)).n(CH(3)OH) (Schiff base = N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylaldimine) (H(2)salen), N,N'-o-phenylenebis(salicylaldimine) (H(2)salophen) and N,N'-ethylenebis(acety1acetone)-2,2'-imine (H(2) acen); L = bridging di-pyridyl or di-imidazole ligand, n = 0-4) and analogues therein, have been synthesised and str...

Palladium is arguably the most versatile and most widely applied catalytic metal in the field of fine chemicals due to its high selectivity and activity. Palladium catalyst offers an abundance of possibilities of carbon-carbon bond formation in organic synthesis. In this research, three different Schiff base ligands have been prepared by condensation reaction between appropriate aldehyde or ket...

Schiff bases bearing an intramolecular hydrogen bond are known to undergo excited-state intramolecular proton transfer and E-Z isomerization, which are related to their thermochromism and solvatochromism properties. In this study, we explored these ultrafast photoinduced processes for two doubly hydroxylated Schiff bases, salicylidene-2-aminophenol and 2-hydroxynaphthylmethylidene-2-aminophenol...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Sm(NO(3))(3)(C(15)H(15)NO(2))(2)(CH(3)OH)], contains two Schiff base 2-meth-oxy-6-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)iminiometh-yl]phenolate (HL) ligands, three nitrate ions and one methanol mol-ecule that binds to the nine-coordinate samarium(III) ion via its O atoms. The HL ligands chelate with a strong Sm-O(deprotonated phenolic) bond and a weak Sm-O(meth-oxy) con...

Structural control of Schiff base ligands for selective extraction of copper(II) was investigated by changing pendant arms and the distance between two imine-N donor atoms in ligands. Di-Schiff base ligands, N,N'-bis(2-quinolylmethylidene)-1,2-diiminoethane (BQIE), N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethylidene)-1,3-diimino-2,2-dimethylpropane (BPMP) and N,N'-bis(2-quinolylmethylidene)-1,3-diimino-2,2-dimethylp...

The Ni(II) atom in the title salt, [Ni(C₁₉H₁₆N₄O)₂](NO₃)₂, is N,N',O-chelated by two neutral Schiff base ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. One nitrate ion inter-acts with the metal atom indirectly, in an outer-sphere type of coordination, through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds; the other nitrate ion does not engage in any inter-actions and is equally disordered over two positions in the crystal.
