Thirty-seven metal chelate complexes of salts of 8-quinolinols with aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids were screened by the disc-plate method against strains of five bacteria and five fungi. The copper (II) chelates of 8-quinolinolium salicylate and 8-quinolinolium-3'-hydroxy-2'-naphthoate showed outstanding antifungal and good antibacterial properties and appear to be potentially more economical...

In the complex (bispyridine -2 and 6-dicarboxylate copper II)) at position H number 26 with modifications of ligands such as vinyl, acetylene and isopropyl, changes in the valance / charge ratio for oxygen and carbon atoms in these complexes have been investigated by methods Initial calculations (ab initio) have been performed at two levels of HF, DFT. Finally, their stability is compared with ...

Two polypyridyl copper(II) complexes, [Cu(phen)(phen-dione)Cl]Cl (1) and [Cu(bpy) (phen-dione)Cl]Cl (2), (where Phen =1,10-phenanthroline, bpy =2,2'-bipyridine and Phen-dione = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione), were used as efficient catalysts for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. The effects of various parameters such as reaction temperature, reaction time, etc. were studied. The ...

The interaction of copper ions with peptides was investigated by electrospray mass spectrometry. Two electrospray micro-emitters were compared, the first one with a platinum electrode using a copper(II) electrolyte solution containing a peptide sample, and the second one with a sacrificial copper anode in a water/methanol solution containing only a peptide (i.e., angiotensin III, bradykinin, or...

DESIGN OF FIRST-ROW TRANSITION METAL BIS(ALKOXIDE) COMPLEXES AND THEIRREACTIVITY TOWARD NITRENE AND CARBENE TRANSFERbyJAMES A. BELLOWAugust 2016Advisor: Dr. Stanislav GroysmanMajor: Chemistry (Inorganic)Degree: Doctor of PhilosophyThe novel alkoxide ligand [OCtBu2Ph], or [OR], was synthesized in a single step as a lithium salt.It was then reacted ...

Tetrameric copper(II) complexes of cubane type show the effect of plasticity: The geometry of the magnetically active Cu 4 0 4 -core varies in a wide range caused by different ligands. Mergehenn and Haase [1] classified these complexes geometrically: Type I complexes can be described as two slightly coupled dimers while type II complexes are chairlike. Between these types there is a continuous ...

A total of five new metal complexes derivatives of 2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl) propanoate, HL with the metal ions (Cd(II), Zn(II), Sn(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)) have been successfully prepared in alcoholic medium. The complexes were characterized quantitatively and qualitatively by using micro elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity mea...

Bleaching of eumelanin has been studied in model systems consisting of synthetic dopa-melanin and various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, molecular oxygen, and copper(II) ions at neutral and alkaline pH. The data show that at neutral pH, in the dark, metal-ion-free melanin is very resistant to oxidation by hydrogen peroxide. However, the rate of bleaching of melanin, induced by H2O2 is sig...

Cyclic voltammetric measurements were performed for Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of 1: 1alternating copolymer, poly(3-nitrobenzylidene-1-naphthylamine-co-succinic anhydride) (L) and Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 1: 1alternating copolymer, poly(3-nitrobenzylidene-1-naphthylamine-co-methacrylic acid) (L1). The in vitro biological screening effects of the investigated compounds wer...
