A one-pot regioselective bis-Suzuki-Miyaura or Suzuki-Miyaura/Sonogashira reaction on 2,4-dibromo-1-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole under microwave heating was developed. This method is applicable to a wide range of (hetero)arylboronic acids and terminal alkynes. Additionally, this approach provides a simple and efficient way to synthesize 2,4-disubstituted 5-nitroimidazole derivatives with antibac...

New metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on zinc and cadmium ions, terephthalic acid, and flexible ligands 1,5-bis(imidazol-1-yl)pentane or 1,6-bis(imidazol-1-yl)hexane were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermorgavimetric analysis and IR spectroscopy. The imidazolyl ligands were prepared by a new robust procedure involving the reaction between imidazole and 1,5-dibromopentan...

The title compound, [Cu(C(2)O(4))(C(5)H(8)N(2))(2)](n), is composed of one-dimensional linear chains running parallel to the a axis. In the chain, trans-[Cu(imidazole)(2)](2+) units are sequentially bridged by bis-bidentate oxalate ligands, resulting in an octa-hedral CuO(4)N(2) donor set. The Cu⋯Cu separation through the oxalate bridge is 5.620 (5) Å. Both the Cu atoms and the C-C bond of the ...

An atom-economic synthetic route to benzimidazolium salts is presented. The annulated polycyclic systems: 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium chloride (1-Cl), 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium chloride (2-Cl), 1,3-diphenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium chloride (3-Cl), and 1,3-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium chloride (4-Cl) were prepared in a t...

A hydrolysis process of the anticancer drug [ImH][trans-RuCl4(Im)2] (ICR, Im=imidazole) has been investigated using density functional theory (DFT), and the aqueous solution effect has been considered and calculated by the conductor-like polarizable calculation model (CPCM). The stationary points on the potential energy surfaces for the first and second hydrolysis steps (including two different...

Abstract Isolation of E -1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)-1,2-diphenyl-ethylene from the E/Z isomer mixture obtained by a McMurry coupling reaction and this with imidazole followed N -alkylation n BuBr anion exchange yielded bisimidazolium tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative H 2 - 1 (PF 6 ) . The Ag O di-nuclear metallarectangle [Ag ( ](PF where two bis-NHC donors bridge silver atoms. Irradiation leads ...

The spin-state of cytochrome b559 (cyt b559) was studied in photosystem II (PSII) membrane fragments by low-temperature EPR spectroscopy. Treatment of the membranes with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) converts the native low-spin (LS) form of cyt b559 into the high-spin (HS) form characterized by the g = 6.19 and g = 5.95 split signal. The amount of HS cyt b559 was pH dependent w...
