In the title mononuclear nickel(II) complex, [Ni(C(12)H(17)N(2)O(2))(NCS)], the metal atom is four-coordinated in a tetra-hedrally distorted square-planar geometry by the phenolate O atom, the imine N atom and the amine N atom of the Schiff base ligand and by the N atom of a thio-cyanate ligand. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules are linked into dimers through inte...

The efficiency and selectivity of hydrogen atom transfer from organic molecules are often difficult to control in the presence of multiple potential hydrogen atom donors and acceptors. Here, we describe the mechanistic evaluation of a mode of catalytic activation that accomplishes the highly selective photoredox α-alkylation/lactonization of alcohols with methyl acrylate via a hydrogen atom tra...

The title compound, C(14)H(11)N(3)O(3), adopts an E conformation, with a dihedral angle of 41.8 (1) ° between the mean planes of the two benzene rings. One of the amino H atoms forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the amide N atom, while the other H atom forms an inter-molecular hydrogen bond with the carbonyl O atom of an adjacent mol-ecule, forming dimers about inversion centers. A non...
