In the cinnarizinium dication of the title compound {systematic name: 1-diphenyl-methyl-4-[(2E)-3-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-yl]piperazine-1,4-diium bis-(2,4,6-trinitro-phenolate)}, C(26)H(30)N(2) (2+)·2C(6)H(2)N(3)O(7) (-), the piperazine group is protonated at both N atoms and adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation. Strong N-H⋯O(hy-droxy) cation-anion hydrogen bonds link the dication and two ...

A new class of Mannich bases 9-26, derivatives of 2-amino-1H-benzimidazole, were obtained in the condensation of Schiff bases 1-4 or 2-benzylaminobenzimidazoles 5-8 with selected secondary amines: morpholine, piperidine, N-methylpiperazine, N-phenylpiperazine, 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine, 1(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine, 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazine and formaldehyde in ethanol. The pyrimido[1,2-albenzi...

BACKGROUND T-type calcium channels are important contributors to signaling in the primary afferent pain pathway and are thus important targets for the development of analgesics. It has been previously reported that certain piperazine-based compounds such as flunarizine are able to inhibit T-type calcium channels. Thus, we hypothesized that novel piperazine compounds could potentially act as ana...

Two new copper(II) complexes, [Cu2(3-bpfp)(2,6-PDA)2(H2O)2] (1) and [Cu(4-bpfp)0.5 (glu)]·H2O (2), have been hydrothermally synthesized by self-assembly of isomeric bis(pyridylformyl)piperazine ligands [3-bpfp = bis(3-pyridylformyl)piperazine, 4-bpfp = bis(4pyridylformyl)piperazine], rigid pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (2,6-H2PDA) or flexible glutaric acid (H2glu), and copper(II) chloride. Sin...

Two dinuclear triple-stranded helicates [Ln(2)L(3)](3+) (Ln = Dy and Tb) obtained via self-assembly from the ligand HL (2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol di(benzoylhydrazone)) and lanthanide perchlorate have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structural analysis demonstrates that three ligand strands wrap around a pseudo-threefold axis defined by the two metal ions, leading to a 'meso'-r...
