Zinc (II) complex, [Zn(25-MBTSC)2I2] (1), where (25-MBTSC = (E)-2-(2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde) thiosemicarbazone, has been synthesized from the reaction of ZnI2 with 25-MBTSC in methanol as solvent at 25 ºC. It was characterized by elemental analysis (CHN) and is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex 1 crystallizes in a triclinic system, with space group P-ī, having...

Cortical thickness estimation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important technique for research on brain development and neurodegenerative diseases. This paper presents a heat kernel based cortical thickness estimation algorithm, which is driven by the graph spectrum and the heat kernel theory, to capture the grey matter geometry information in the in vivo brain MR images. First, we us...

Blue copper proteins (Type I) exhibit unusual spectral and chemical properties such as higher reduction potentials and small hyperfine coupling constants A|| in the EPR spectrum in comparison with other copper(II) complexes. Such unusual properties are justified partly by the tetralhedral geometry around the copper(II) site and partly by the CuN2S2 chromophores in which the soft S atoms coordin...

the complex-forming ability of 2-methyl-3-hydroxypyran-4-one ( 1a ), 2-ethyl-3-hydroxypyran-4-one ( 1b ), 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one ( 4a ) and 1-ethyl-2-methyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one ( 4b ) with nickel(ni(ii)) were characterized by infrared, ultraviolet, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and melting point. the mole-ratio of nickel:ligands was analyzed by atomic-absorption...

BACKGROUND Most of the benzyladenine and furfuryladenine derivatives inhibit tumor/cancer cell growth; their toxicity is lesser than the compounds used for the treatment of cancer now-a-days. Many cytokinin derivatives are tested for anticancer activity. RESULTS A series of transition metal complexes containing N(6)-benzyl/furfuryl aminopurines of formula [Mn(FAH)2(H2O)(Cl3)]2.Cl2 (1), [Co(FA...

Synthesis and characterization of 2-[(8-hydroxyquinolinyl)-5-aminomethyl]-3-(4bromophenyl)-6-bromo-3(H)-quinazolin-4-one ligand called HAMQ (HL11) was studied. To prepare this ligand anthranilic acid was converted into 5-bromo–N-Chloroacetyl anthranilic acid then into 2-[(8-hydroxyquinolinyl) -5-aminomethyl] -3-(4-bromophenyl) 6-Bromo3(H)-quinazolin-4-one. This compound was finally condensed wi...

We propose a method for generating well-shaped curved unstructured meshes using a nonlinear elasticity analogy. The geometry of the domain to be meshed is represented as an elastic solid. The undeformed geometry is the initial mesh of linear triangular or tetrahedral elements. The external loading results from prescribing a boundary displacement to be that of the curved geometry, and the final ...

Abstract New N2O2 type Schiff base has been designed and synthesized by condensing 2,4 dihydroxy benzaldehyde and α-naphthylamine in ethanol. Solid metal complexes of the schiff base with Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) metal ion were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, IR, UV-Vis and ‘H NMR spectral studies. The data shows that the c...

BACKGROUND The coordination chemistry of cadmium(II) with diamine ligands is of particular interest. The most common structure around cadmium(II) center in their complexes is tetrahedral, that is due the octet rule obeyed. Nevertheless, five and six-coordinated complexes are also well known. Now a day, many cadmium(II) complexes with chelate ligands were synthesized for their structural or appl...
