Nitrogen donor tetradentate ligands 4,4'-bipyridazine (bpdz) and pyridazino[4,5-d]pyridazine (pp) were prepared by inverse electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions of 1,2,4,5-tetrazine. Examination of their behaviour towards silver(I) ions revealed a special potential of the ligands for the design of 3D coordination frameworks involving characteristic polynuclear and polymeric silver...

As analogues of the porphyrinoid and dipyrromethene families of dye, azadipyrromethene (ADPM) derivatives exhibit exciting photophysical properties. Their high absorbance (ε up to 100,000 M(-1) cm(-1)) in the yellow-to-red region and the strong NIR luminescence encountered in boron-chelated aza-BODIPY analogues are especially interesting in the context of light-harvesting and life science appli...

Department of Chemistry, Kongunadu Arts and Science College, Coimbatore – 641029, India Post Graduate and Research Department of Chemistry, Sri Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore – 641020, India. ABSTRACT: Six new organosoluble ruthenium(II) complexes bearing dibasic tetradentate Schiff base ligands of the general formula [Ru(CO)(PPh3)(L)] (where L = dibasic t...

Metal complexes, ML (M=Ni, Cu, Co and Zn) of unsymmetrical tetradentate schiff base have been synthesized by the template reaction of the half-units N-(1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphthone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine)(HL1) with 2-Pyrroleca-rbaldehyde. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and UV spectroscopy. The crystal structure of the Ni(II) complex has been determine...

A series of titanium trichloride complexes , ligated with claw-type tetradentate aminophenolate ligands were synthesized from the direct reaction of TiCl4(THF)2 with 1 equiv. of the corresponding aminophenol in the presence of triethylamine. For comparison purposes, titanium isopropoxide complexes were also synthesized via the reaction of Ti(O(i)Pr)4 and 1 equiv. of the proligand. Similar react...

Two dimeric boron complexes of potentially tetradentate and trianionic β-diketiminate ligands bearing phenol substituents were prepared and characterized. The synthetic routes employed were designed to circumvent the undesirable formation of β-ketimines and 2-methylbenzoxazoles observed when traditional synthetic routes toward the target β-diketiminate ligands were attempted. The title complexe...

Dioxouranium together with copper(II), nickel(II) and iron(II) were extracted in chloroform as complexes of bis(salicylaldehyde)-dl-stilbenediimine (dl-H2SA2S) or bis(salicylaldehyde)-meso-stilbenediimine (meso-H2SA2S), and separated by liquid chromatography with UV detection. The linear calibration range and detection limits were 40 - 200 ng and 10 ng/injection for each metal ion. The method w...
