New coordination polymer of [HgLCl2]n (1) with HgCl2 and Schiff base bidentate ligand (4-methoxyphenyl) pyridine-2yl methyleneamine (L) was prepared and structurally characterized. In the 1D network structure of 1, the mecury (II) ion adopts an HgN2Cl3 distorted square pyramid geometry. In this complex, one of the chlorine acts as bridging ligand connecting two adjacent mercury(II) ions while, ...

The solubility of KNO3 in the mixed solvent (water 85%+methanol 15%) were determined by using solvent evaporating method at different temperatures (25, 30, 40, 50, 60 ;C). In addition the equilibrium constant of ion pair formation, KIP, for K+NO3 – ion-pair on the basis of Fuoss contact ion pair model was calculated. Upon choosing the extended Debye-Hückel model for estimating the mean activity...

The interaction between hydronium ion and several crown ethers was studied via conductometry in nitromethane at 25 °C and 1H-NMR techniques. The stabilities of the resulting 1:1 complexes were determined from the conductance data and found to vary in the order DC18C6 > 18C6 > DB30C10 > DB24C8 > DB18C6 > ~B15C5 > DB21C7. For the first time, evidences for the formation of a 2:1 san...

     A simple and sensitive extractive spectrophotometric method is described for determination of tropicamide. The method is based on the reaction of tropicamide and bromocresol green. The ion-paired colored complex was extracted with chloroform at pH 3. The extracted complex showed maximum absorbance at 423 nm. The complex was stable up to 2 days and obeyed Beer's law over the concentration r...

Nanoparticles of a new dinuclear silver(I) complex [Ag2(PPh3)2(μ-S-4nb-tsc)2(η1-S-4nb-tsc)2](NO3)2, where 4nb-tsc = 4-nitrobenzylidenethiosemicarbazone and PPh3 = triphenylphosphine, were prepared in an ultrasonic bath and characterized by FT-IR and SEM. The crystal structure of a suitable single crystal prepared by slow evaporation was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compou...

Native electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) is often used to monitor noncovalent complex formation between peptides and ligands. The relatively low throughput of this technique, however, is not compatible with extensive screening. Laser ablation electrospray ionization (LAESI) MS combined with ion mobility separation (IMS) can analyze complex formation and provide conformation i...

siilver tetrafluoroborate complex of 5.11.17.23-tetra-tert-butyl-25-26,27,28-tetrakis (diphenylphosphinoylmethoxy)calyx[4]arene (l) has been synthesized by reaction of silver tetrafluoroborate and l in dichloromethane at room temperature. the complex formed has a 1:1 metall/ligand ratio. 1h and 31p nmr data support an encapsulated structure of the complex in which silver ion is located inside t...

Gas-phase complexes of the formula [UO2(lig)]+ (lig = acetone (aco) or dimethylsulfoxide (dmso)) were generated by electrospray ionization (ESI) and studied by tandem ion-trap mass spectrometry to determine the general effect of ligand charge donation on the reactivity of UO2(+) with respect to water and dioxygen. The original hypothesis that addition of O2 is enhanced by strong sigma-donor lig...

Novel fluorescent probes have been developed for the ultratrace detection of heavy metal ions by capillary electrophoresis using laser-induced fluorescence detection. Based on a molecular design, the probes are composed of an octadentate chelating moiety, a macrocyclic DOTA (tetraazacyclododecanetetraacetic acid) and an acyclic DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) frame, a spacer and a flu...

There is a biomedical need to develop molecular recognition systems that selectively target the interfaces of protein and lipid aggregates in biomembranes. This is an extremely challenging problem in supramolecular chemistry because the biological membrane is a complex dynamic assembly of multifarious molecular components with local inhomogeneity. Two simplifying concepts are presented as a fra...
