Cyclic glyoxalcarbohydrazone[(1,2,4,5,8,9,11,12-octaazacyclotetradeca-5,7,12,14tetraene-3,10-dione) = (glyozalcarbzH)2] complexes of Ni II, PdII, CoII, ZnII and CdII of composition M (glyoxalcarbzH)2X2nH2O (M = Ni II, PdII, CoII,ZnII or CdII and X = Cl> , 1/2 SO4 -2 and n = 0,1 or 4) have been isolated by refluxing appropriate metal salts with glyoxal and carbohydrazide in requisite proportion ...

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 for ...

Six new mononuclear [FeIII(LBr,Cl)X]-complexes (LBr,Cl is the dianionic penta-N3O2-dentate Schiff base ligand N,N?-bis(2’-hydroxy-3-bromo-5-chlorobenzylidene)-1,6-diamino-3-azahexane; X: Cl?, N3?, NCO?, NCS?, NCSe?, CN?) were synthesized and their structures, magnetic electrochemical properties studied. Structure analysis measurements showed that [FeIII(LBr,Cl)CN] in low spin state other five c...

We present a straightforward and generally applicable synthesis route for cofacially linked homo- heterobimetallic porphyrin complexes. The protocol allows the of unsymmetrical aryl-based meso-meso as well β-meso-linked porphyrins. Our method significantly increases overall yield published compound known o-phenylene-bisporphyrin (OBBP) by factor 6.8. Besides 16 novel homobimetallic complexes co...

A new series of PdII complexes derived from thiosemicarbazone has been synthesized. The synthesized PdII complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, FT-IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, UV/VIS, and thermal studies. A square-planar geometry has been assigned around PdII ions on the basis of results obtained from UV/VIS studies. The thiosemicarbazone ligand and its PdII complexes hav...

The effects of pressure and temperature on the energy (Eop) of the metal-to-metal charge transfer (MMCT, FeII-->CoIII) transition of the cyano-bridged complexes trans-[L14CoNCFe(CN)5]- and cis-[L14CoNCFe(CN)5]- (where L14=6-methyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecan-6-amine) were examined. The changes in the redox potentials of the cobalt and iron metal centres with pressure and temperature were a...

Four dinuclear CoII complexes have been synthesized and structurally characterized with the dinucleating ligand susan (susan=4,7-dimethyl-1,1,10,10-tetra(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane) varying in exogeneous ligands: [(susan){CoII(CH3CN)2}2](PF6)4, [(susan){CoIICl}2](ClO4)2, [(susan){CoIIBr}2](ClO4)2, [(susan){CoII(μ-OH)CoII}](ClO4)3. The ions are six-coordinate CH3CN ligands five-coo...
