In this study, a nickel (II) complex with 1,10-phenanthroline based ligand, [Ni(FIP)2](OAC)2 (1) with FIP = 2-(Furan-2-yl)-1H-Imidazole[4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline as ligand was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. The interaction of [Ni(FIP)2](OAC)2 (1) with calf-thymus DNA (ct-DNA) was studied by UV-vis absorption, fluorescence spectroscopies and visc...

An extremely bent cyanide coordination at a dinickel scaffold is reported. Preorganization of two nickel ions is achieved by means of a compartmental dinucleating pyrazolate ligand L(-), setting up a bimetallic coordination pocket with constrained metal-metal separation. The mixed-spin dinickel(II) complex [LNi2(CN)(MeCN)](ClO4)2 (1) has been characterized by X-ray diffraction. The MeCN bound t...

Copper(II)  complex  [Cu(dmbt)2(H2O)](ClO4)2 (1)  was  prepared  from  the  reaction  of  copper(II) perchlorate  hexahydrate  with  2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-bithiazole  (dmbt)  ligand  in  methanol  at  ambient temperature. The complex was quantitatively and qualitatively characterized by elemental analysis, absorption  and  infrared  spectrometries.  Complex  [Cu(DMSO)5](ClO4)2 (2)  was  also  synt...

an octahedral cobalt(iii) complex, trans-[(me2bpb)co(bzlan)2]clo4 (1), with h2me2bpb = n,n’-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)dipicolinamide and bzlan = benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ir, uv-vis, and 1h nmr spectroscopy. the structure of this complex has been determined by x-ray crystallography. the me2bpb2– is a di-anionic tetradentate ligand furnishing a ...
