in this study, aggregation behavior of a water soluble cationic metalloporphyrin, meso-tetrakis (2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-n,n´,n´´-trimethyl ammonium phenyl) porphyrin nickel(ii) [ni(ii)(tf4tmapp)]4+ is investigated in 5 mm aqueous phosphate buffer of ph 7.0 at 25.0 °c and various ionic strengths using optical absorption and resonance light scattering spectroscopic methods. the results suggest that ...

a series of schiff bases of ni(ii) and cu(ii) using acetylacetone (acac), salicylaldehyde (sal), ethylenediamine (en), and o-phenylendiarnine (dabe) were prepared and characterized. the electronic spectra of some copper chelates in various organic solvents depend strongly on the solvent used and the d-d band of cu(ii) shifts to red with the increase of the donor number (dn) of solvent. the colo...

We have determined the specificity of mutations produced by nickel(II), a known human carcinogen, in a forward mutation assay and also used a sensitive reversion assay to show that Ni(II), like iron and copper, can produce tandem double CC-->TT mutations, a hallmark of damage to DNA by either UV irradiation or oxygen free radicals. A reduction in mutation frequencies by the addition of oxygen r...

Fluorescent chemosensors are highly valuable in a variety of fields including environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry, and bio-medicinal science. They have provided accurate, on-line, and low-cost detection of toxic heavy metal ions, anions, and enzymes with high selectivity and sensitivity. Coumarins, with the structure of benzopyrone, have many advantages including high fluorescence qua...

Fine-tuning of the porphyrin β-periphery is important for naturally occurring metal tetrapyrroles to exert diverse biological roles. Here we describe how this approach is also applied to design molecular catalysts, as exemplified by Ni(ii) porphyrinoids catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). We found that β-hydrogenation of porphyrin remarkably enhances the electrocatalytic HER react...

First row transition metal complexes of phthalocyanine are employed as catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexene and cyclooctene using iodosylbenzene and pentafluoroiodosyl benzene. The catalysis was performed in dichloromethane: methanol:water (80:18:2) solvent mixture.  The products of the catalysis for cyclohexene are epoxycyclohexane, 2-cyclohexene-1-ol and 2-cyclohexene-1-one whereas ...

The title compound, [Ni(2)(C(7)H(5)O(2))(4)(C(7)H(6)O(2))(2)], is composed of two Ni(II) ions, four bridging benzoate anions and two η(1)-benzoic acid mol-ecules. The [Ni(2)(PhCOO)(4)] unit adopts a typical paddle-wheel conformation. The center between the two Ni(II) atoms represents a crystallographic center of inversion. In addition, each Ni(II) ion also coordinates to one O atom from a benzo...

In the title dinuclear nickel(II) complex, [Ni(2)(C(8)H(4)FO(3))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]Cl(2), synthesized by the reaction between 4-fluoro-2,6-diformyl-phenol and nickel(II) chloride in methanol, the coordination cation is located on an inversion center and the Ni(II) atom adopts a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The two Ni atoms are bridged by two phenolate O atoms and the intra-m...

In this study, 2-aminobenzoic acid (ABA) has been used as complexing ligand for simultaneousdetermination of metal ions by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (AdCSV), for the firsttime. Thus, a selective and sensitive procedure was presented for simultaneous determination oflead, cadmium and nickel using ABA and differential pulse-adsorptive cathodic strippingvolt...
