Abstract The synthesis of ligands with N 2 S donor sets that include imine, an amide, thioether, thiolate moieties and their metal complexes were achieved. new Schiff-base ligands; N-(2-((2,4-diphenyl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ylidene)amino)ethyl)-2-((2-mercaptoethyl)thio)-acetamide (H L 1 ) N-(2-((2,4-di-p-tolyl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ylidene)amino)ethyl)-2-((2-mercaptoethyl)thio) acetami...

New low-energy atomic structures of the thiolate-protected gold nanoparticle Au68(SH)32 are uncovered, where the atomic positions of the Au atoms are taken from the recent single-particle transmission electron microscopy measurement by Kornberg and co-workers, whereas the pattern of thiolate ligands on the gold core is attained on the basis of the generic formulation (or rule) of the "divide an...

The interaction of peroxynitrite with thiolate dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC) has been examined and compared with the interaction with H2O2. Peroxynitrite oxidized DNIC containing various thiolate ligands--cysteine, glutathione, and bovine serum albumin. Analysis of the oxidation suggested a two-electron reaction and gave third-order rate constants of (9.3 +/- 0.5).109 M-2.sec-1 for DNIC with...

A new series of donor-stabilized addition complexes of cobalt(II) with disubstituted diphenyldithiophosphates [{(ArO)2PS2}2CoL2] {Ar = 2,4-(CH3)2C6H3 [(1)-(3)] and 3,5-(CH3)2C6H3 [(4)-(6)]; L = C5H5N [(1), (4)], 3,4-(CH3)2C5H3N [(2), (5)] and 4-(C2H5)C5H4N [(3), (6)]} were successfully isolated and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic moment measurements, IR and single-crystal X-ray an...

Rat livers and microsomes were subjected to electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements at 77 K. The EPR spectra of the livers from the control group, carbon tetrachloride-, 3-methylcholanthrene-, and 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126)-treated rats exhibited an EPR spectrum at g=2.40, 2.24, and 1.93, which is characteristic of P450 in a resting state. The liver of the PCB126-treate...

A tiara-like octanuclear palladium thiolate complex, [Pd(μ-SCH2CO2Me)2]8, that has a toroidal structure was synthesized via reactions of either PdCl2 with methyl thioglycolate/N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) (conventional method) or [PdCl2(MeCN)2] with m-C6H4(CMe2SCH2CO2Me)2 (alternative method). In the latter method, the tiara-like complex formed via the corresponding SCS-pincer complex and/o...

Two bidentate NS ligands were synthesized by the condensation reaction of S-2-methylbenzyldithiocarbazate (S2MBDTC) with 2-methoxybenzaldehyde (2MB) and 3-methoxybenzaldehyde (3MB). The ligands were reacted separately with acetates of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) yielding 1:2 (metal:ligand) complexes. The metal complexes formed were expected to have a general formula of [M(NS)2] where M = Cu2+, Ni...

Because the synthesis of metal clusters with multiple ligand types results in a distribution of ligands, high-resolution separation of each unique cluster from the mixture is required for precise control of the ligand composition. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography combined with appropriate transitioning of the mobile phase composition is an extremely effective means of separa...
