An intriguing 15-nickel metallamacrocyclic complex, [Ni15(EVan)10(H2O)20], (EVan = Schiff base formed between l-glutamic acid and o-vanillin), has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic analyses. adopts a Ni-O-Ni-O-Ni-O configuration and can be divided into five discrete trinuclear units.

Nickel is considered a weak carcinogen. Some researches have shown that bound proteins or synthetic ligands may increase the toxic effect of nickel ions. A systematic study of ligand effects on the interaction between nickel complexes and DNA is necessary. Here, we compared the interactions between DNA and six closely related Schiff base tetraazamacrocyclic oxamido nickel(II) complexes NiL(1-3a...

Analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of four transition metal complexes of a Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and glycine, viz. [N-salicylideneglycinato diaqua cobalt(II) dimer] (SGCo)2, [N-salicylideneglycinato-di-aqua-nickel(ll)dimer] (SGN)2, [N-salicylideneglycinato-aquacopper(II)] (SGC) and [N-salicylideneglycinato diaqua zinc(II) dimer] (SGZ)2 were studied in swiss albino mic...

The nickel(II) catalyst has manifested higher catalytic activity compared to that of other late transition metal catalysts for norbornene polymerization. Therefore, several structurally similar trans-nickel(II) compounds of N,O-chelate bidentate ligands were synthesized and characterized. Both the electronic effect and the steric hindrance influence polymerization. The molecular structures of 2...

A Schiff base 3 has been synthesized by equimolar reaction (condensation) of sulfonamide i.e. sulfamethoxypyridazine 1 and substituted aromatic aldehyde i.e. 2-Hydroxy-1-Napthalene aldehyde 2. The synthesized Schiff base 3 and its Metal (II) complexes were characterized by its physical, analytical (CHN analysis) and spectral (UV & IR) analysis. The Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bac...

The synthesis, characterization and biological activity of Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes derived from tridentate Schiff base ligand 3-hydroxy-4-(pyridine-2-yl methylene amino) benzoic acid (HL) was obtained by the condensation of 2-Pyridine carboxaldehyde with 4-amino 3-hydroxy benzoic acid has been described. The complexes were characterized based on elemental analyses, molar conductivity measur...

In the title dinuclear complex, [CuGd(C(20)H(22)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)], the Cu(II) ion is located in the inner N(2)O(2) cavity of the Schiff base ligand and adopts a distorted square-planar geometry. The Gd(III) ion is ten-coordinate being bound to ten O atoms, four from the Schiff base ligand and six from three bidentate nitrate anions. The Cu(II) and Gd(III) ions are linked by two phenolate O a...
