According to the strong application background of bioflavonoid and metal-flavonoid complexes, novel electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn) was applied to investigate the structure and fragmentation mechanism of transition metal-rutin complexes. In the full-scan mass spectra, different stoichiometric ratios of rutin-metal complexes were found. In the reaction between rutin an...

Bulky and electron-rich N-phosphinomethyl-substituted N-heterocyclic carbene transition metal complexes have been prepared in a short and efficient protocol. The modular synthesis allows one to convert borane-protected phosphino-functionalized imidazolium salts into their corresponding metal chelate complexes in a one-pot procedure.

Complexes of several transition metal ions with alpha-oximinoacetoacetyl pyridine-4-phenylthiosemicarbazone (H3OAPT) have been prepared. Attempts were made to elucidate their geometries by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic measurements and by some spectroscopic (IR, ESR and electronic) techniques. All the investigated metal ions form mononuclear complexes except for CuII, which fo...

Transition metal complexes allow fine tuning of DNA binding affinity and selectivity. Here we report on the nucleic acid recognition properties of a phenanthroline-based ligand coordinated to Ni(2+) or Cu(2+). The resulting complexes clearly bind to telomeric G-quadruplexes at different sites according to the nature of the bound metal ion.

a series of dissymmetric dinuclear complexes were synthesized, as dual site catalysts in ethylene polymerization,by coupling the allylated a-diimine complexes of the metals ti, zr, v, ni and pd with the ansa-zirconocenecomplex [c5h4-sih(me)-c5h4]zrcl2 possessing a hydride silane moiety. the different stages of syntheses includedthe formation of bis(cyclopentadienide)methyl silane which was util...

The Cu(II), Fe(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II) metal complexes of Schiff base 2-(salicylimino)-3-hydroxypyridine (SIHP) were prepared and characterized by various analytical techniques such as FTIR, UV-Visible spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The magnetic moment values suggested octahedral geometry for these transition metal complexes. Thermal stability of the compounds synthesized was also studied....

T metal complexes, and particularly ruthenium polypyridine complexes, can be used as catalysts or photocatalysts capable of performing water oxidation [1] or oxidation of organic compounds.[2,3] They can also be used as chromophores to harvest solar energy due to their absorption in the visible region. Therefore, understanding the nature of the electronic excited states in transition-metal comp...

Two univalent transition metal complexes, (micro-eta6:eta6-C7H8){MnAr*-3,5-Pri2}2 () and (eta6-C6H6)FeAr*-3,5-Pri2 () (Ar*-3,5-Pri2=C6H-2,6-(C6H(2)-2,4,6-Pri3)(2)-3,5-Pri2), that have eta6 arene coordination were synthesized by reduction of the corresponding metal halides. The complexes are thermally stable in contrast to the corresponding Cri complexes of benzene or toluene which decompose at ...

Syntheses of neutral 'buS2'-, 'S /and 'buS4'and of anionic buS: -complexes with various main group and transition metals are described. The complexes were prepared by reacting the neutral sulfur ligands or their alkali salts with the metal halide or alkoxide. The ligands coordinate to metal ions in normal as well as high oxidation states. No redox reactions occur in the latter case. The complex...
