Copper(II) complexes with 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoic acid (H234-tmbz) and 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzoic (H246-tmbz), [Cu2(234-tmbz)4(H2O)2] (6) [Cu(246-tmbz)2(µ-H2O)2(H2O)2]n (7), were synthesized characterized by elemental analysis, infrared UV-vis spectra temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibilities (1.9–300 K). The X-ray crystal structures revealed that the former 6 is a dinuclear cluster havi...

In the title compound, [Cd(3)(C(16)H(10)O(4))(3)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)](n) or [Cd(3)(SDA)(3)(DMF)(2)](n) (H(2)SDA is trans-stilbene-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid and DMF is dimethyl-formamide), the linear dicarboxylate ligand forms a two-dimensionally layered metal-organic network with the relatively uncommon 3(6) topology. The structure reveals trinuclear secondary building units and has an octa-hedral geom...

Incorporation of a nitrogen functionality into a tripodal N-heterocyclic carbene ligand system affords the first N-anchored tetradentate tris-carbene ligands TIMEN(R) (R = Me (5a), t-Bu (5b), Bz (5c)). Treatment of the methyl derivatized [H(3)TIMEN(Me)](PF(6))(3) imidazolium salt (H(3)5a) with silver oxide yields the silver complex [(TIMEN(Me))(2)Ag(3)](PF(6))(3) (9), which, in a ligand transfe...

In the title complex, [CuCl(2)(C(17)H(11)N(3)O(2))(2)], the Cu(II) ion is located on an inversion center. It exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry defined by two chloride anions at trans sites and four 3-pyridyl N atoms at equatorial sites from two (6-nicotinoyl-2-pyrid-yl)(3-pyrid-yl)methanone ligands. The (6-nicotinoyl-2-pyrid-yl)(3-pyrid-yl)methanone ligand can be viewed as ...

Copper(II) acetate mediated coupling reactions between 2,6-bis(azidomethyl)pyridine or 2-picolylazide and two terminal alkynes afford 1,2,3-triazolyl-containing ligands L(1)-L(6). These ligands contain various nitrogen-based Lewis basic sites including two different pyridyls, two nitrogen atoms on a 1,2,3-triazolyl ring, and the azido group. A rich structural diversity, which includes mononucle...

In this report, using the ab initio method of stability and electron-orbital properties of the complex (2,66-diaminopyridinium bis (4-hydroxy-pyridine-2, 6-dicarboxylate) dihydrate chromate III) with a change of ligand at position 17 It has been studied with ligands such as F, Cl, Br,,, and. The results indicate changes in energy levels, bipolar moments, and sustainability rates due to these ch...

Although a functional role in copper binding has been suggested for the prion protein, evidence for binding at affinities characteristic of authentic metal-binding proteins has been lacking. By presentation of copper(II) ions in the presence of the weak chelator glycine, we have now characterized two high-affinity binding sites for divalent transition metals within the human prion protein. One ...

Three new compounds of formula {[Cu(gua)(H(2)O)(3)](BF(4))(SiF(6))(1/2)}(n) (1), {[Cu(gua)(H(2)O)(3)](CF(3)SO(3))(2).H(2)O}(n) (2) and [Cu(gua)(2)(H(2)O)(HCOO)]ClO(4).H(2)O.1/2HCOOH] (3) [gua = 2-amino-1H-purin-6(9H)-one] showing the unprecedented coordination of neutral guanine, have been synthesised and structurally characterized. The structures of the compounds 1 and 2 contain uniform copper...
