In the title compound, [Pd(C(9)H(12)N)Cl(C(4)H(6)N(2))], which was synthesized from the reaction of 1-methyl-imidazole with dimeric dichloridobis[2-(dimethyl-amino)-benz-yl]palla-dium(II), the ring-deprotonated N,N-dimethyl-benzyl-amine ligand acts in a C,N-bidentate fashion. The dihedral angle between the ring of the 1-methyl-imidazole ligand and the palladacycle plane is 57.88 (16)°. The two ...

In the title complex, [CuCl2(C12H14N2)2], the Cu(2+) cation is situated on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two N atoms from symmetry-related 1-mesityl-1H-imidazole ligands and by two chloride anions in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. In the organic ligand, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring of the mesityl moiety and the imidazole ring is 76.99 (18)°. Weak intra-m...

Some meso-tetra aryl porphyrinato manganese (III) acetate or chloride complexes including meso-tetraphenyl porphyrinato manganese (III) chloride (TPPMnCl), meso-tetrakis(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)porphyrinato manganese(III) acetate, (T(2,3-OMeP)PMnOAc) and meso-tetrakis(pentaflourophenyl)porphyrinato manganese (III) acetate (TPFPPMnOAc) were synthesized. These porphyrins were used as catalyst in the ...

In the mononuclear title compound, [Cd(C(12)H(9)O(2))(2)(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)], the Cd(II) centre has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry defined by four O atoms from two naphthalene-acetate ligands and two N atoms from two imidazole ligands. The mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a layer network.

Molecular dynamics simulations of a tetraheme cytochrome c3 were performed to investigate dynamic aspects of the motion of the axial heme iron ligands. It was found that persistent transitions between alternate axial imidazole orientations of the histidine incorporated in the CXXCH heme binding sequence occurred via correlated motions. The correlated motions involved virtually all of the atoms ...

In the title compound, [Mg(C3H3N2)4(H2O)2]Cl2, the Mg(II) cation lies on a crystallographic inversion centre and is coordinated by two water mol-ecules and four N-atom donors from monodentate imidazole ligands, giving a slightly distorted octa-hedral stereochemistry. In the crystal, water O-H⋯Cl and imidazole N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds give rise to a three-dimensional structure.

A Schiff base-like ligand bearing a maleonitrile backbone was synthesized and converted in two steps to an octahedral iron(II) complex with axial imidazole ligands. Single crystal X-ray structure analysis of this revealed 3D hydrogen bond network based on the NH groups ligands that act as donors. Interestingly, temperature-dependent magnetic measurements showed abrupt spin crossover hysteresis ...

Prenylation plays an important role in diversifying the structure and function of secondary metabolites. Although several cyanobactin prenyltransferases have been characterized, their chemistries are mainly limited to modification electron-rich heteroatoms. Here we report a prenyltransferase, LimF, from Limnothrix sp. CACIAM 69d, geranylating electron-deficient C2 atom His imidazole. Interestin...

In this article, a series of mixed-ligand Ag(i) coordination polymers, namely, Ag(L1)H(2)O (), Ag(2)(hmt)(2)(L1)(2) (), [Ag(HL2)]H(2)O (), [Ag(L2)(biim)][Ag(biim)] (), [K(5)(L3)(2)][Ag(H(2)O)(2)] (), [Ag(2)(L3)(3-iso)][Ag(3-iso)]5H(2)O (), [Ag(3)(L3)(bipy)(3)(H(2)O)]6H(2)O (), [Ag(3)(L3)(biim)(3)]H(2)O (), and [Ag(3)(L3)(hmt)(2)(H(2)O)(3)]H(2)O () (where hmt = hexamethylenetetramine, bipy = 4,4...
