Some new compounds based on bis-benzimidazole moieties have been synthesized and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopies. The ability of 3a in transition metal cation sensing such as Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+ have been investigated by Uv-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy in methanol solvent. The complexation constants and complex stoichiometry of Cu2+ have been determined. The ex...

In the title complex, [Ag(C(16)H(14)N(2))(2)]NO(3), the geometry around the Ag(I) ion is T-shaped with two short Ag-N bonds to the pyrazole ligand and one long Ag-O bond to the nitrate anion. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(C(10)H(16)BN(4))(2)], comprises one unit of the complex. The geometry around the Co(II) ion is a distorted tetra-hedron. The dihedral angles between the pyrazole rings in the two ligands are 47.19 (15) and 47.20 (16)°, while that between the coordination planes is 79.77 (7)°.

Both mammalian and bacterial ferritin undergo rapid reaction with small-molecule reductants, in the absence of Fe2+ chelators, to form ferritins with reduced (Fe2+) mineral cores. Large, low-potential reductants (flavoproteins and ferredoxins) similarly react anaerobically with both ferritin types to quantitatively produce Fe2+ in the ferritin cores. The oxidation of Fe2+ ferritin by large prot...

Identifying the metal ions that optimize charge transport and charge density in metal-organic frameworks is critical for systematic improvements in the electrical conductivity in these materials. In this work, we measure the electrical conductivity and activation energy for twenty different MOFs pertaining to four distinct structural families: M2(DOBDC)(DMF)2 (M = Mg2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, ...

The aim of our study was to evaluate a model system by using iron in the peroxidation of plasma. Lipid peroxidation was monitored by fluorometric measurement of lipid peroxides (LPO). Plasma coincubated with Fe2+ and H2O2 had a 268% increase in plasma LPO after 1 h. The optimum concentrations were 0.42 mmol/L Fe2+ and 0.73 mol/L H2O2. Coincubation of plasma with these concentrations of Fe2+ and...

Abstract Organic syntheses by adopting green protocols such as sonochemical procedures, microwave technologies, solvent-free conditions, solvent, heterogeneous catalysis particularly nanocatalysts, ionic liquids have replaced the traditional procedures due to concerns pertaining especially environment. The heterocycle, pyrazole, its multifaceted applications has been cyanosure of chemists and t...
