In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C(12)H(9)O(2))(2)(C(4)H(6)N(2))(2)], the Cu(II) cations are square-planar coordinated by two 1-naphthyl-acetate anions and two 2-methyl-imidazole ligands into discrete complexes that are located on centres of inversion. These complexes are linked into chains parallel to [010] by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding between the N-H H atom of ...

Kinetic and equilibrium data for the binding of azide, imidazole, and pyridine to horse heart ferricytochrome c have been obtained by conventional spectrophotometric and stopped flow techniques. The stability constants of the 1: 1 complexes formed between ferricytochrome c and the ligands are: azide, 4.5 M-‘; imidazole, 15.3 M-l; and pyridine, 2.4 M-l, at 25”, pH 7, and 1.0 M ionic strength. Th...

The title compound, [Cd(C(8)H(8)O(5))(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)](n), was synthesized by the reaction of 7-oxabicyclo-[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride, cadmium acetate and imidazole. The Cd(II) atom is seven-coordinated in a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal configuration by five O atoms from carboxyl-ate groups of three 7-oxabicyclo-[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylate ligands and two N atoms from ...

We describe the application of a new class of ligands--the phosphite-oxazole/imidazole (L1-L5a-g)--in asymmetric intermolecular Pd-catalyzed Heck reactions under thermal and microwave conditions. These ligands combine the advantages of the oxazole/imidazole moiety with those of the phosphite moiety: they are more stable than their oxazoline counterparts, less sensitive to air and other oxidizin...

The title polymer, [Zn(3)(C(8)H(8)O(5))(2)(C(3)H(3)N(2))(2)(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)](n), was formed by the reaction of zinc acetate with imidazole and 7-oxabicyclo-[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (norcan-tharidine). One of the two crystallographically unique Zn(II) atoms is four-coordinated by three N atoms of three imidazole ligands, two of which are deprotonated, and by one carboxyl-ate O ...

In the title complex, [Pb(C(8)H(9)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n), the eight-coordinate Pb(II) atom lies on a twofold rotation axis and adopts a slightly distorted square-anti-prismatic N(2)O(6) coordination geometry. The ligand donor atoms are the tertiary N atoms of the imidazole rings and the carboxyl-ate O atoms of two chelating 5-carb-oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl-ate ligands, the carb-o...

The current importance of nitrogen heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands in several areas of coordination chemistry and catalysis can hardly be overemphasized. The deprotonation of imidazolium salts is the prime route to NHCs; however, the study of the transformations relating imidazole and NHC ligands is still an emerging area of research. The thermodynamic preference for Nor C-coordination in im...
