Triphosphine and diphosphine ligands with backbones designed to facilitate metal-arene interactions were employed to support multinuclear Ni complexes. Di- and trinuclear metal complexes supported by a triphosphine containing a triarylbenzene linker display diverse metal-arene binding modes. Multinuclear Ni halide complexes were isolated with strongly interacting metal centers bound to opposite...

Coordination of the carbocyclic ring of hydroquinones to electrophilic transition-metal fragments such as Mn(CO)3+ and Rh(COD)+ produces stable pi-bonded eta6-complexes that are activated to facile reversible deprotonation of the -OH groups. The deprotonations are accompanied by electron transfer to the transition metal, which acts as an internal oxidizing agent or electron sink. With manganese...

Transition metal-alkane complexes-termed σ-complexes because the alkane donates electron density to the metal from a σ-symmetry carbon-hydrogen (C-H) orbital-are key intermediates in catalytic C-H activation processes, yet these complexes remain tantalizingly elusive to characterization in the solid state by single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques. Here, we report an approach to the synthes...

The present article reviews the results on the application of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy to the study of stereochemical properties of chiral metal complexes in solution. The chiral characters reflecting on the vibrational properties of metal complexes are revealed by measurements of a series of β-diketonato complexes with the help of theoretical calculation. Attention is ...

calixarenes are a readily available and important class of macrocycles in supramolecularchemistry. calixarenes have generated considerable interest due to their basket shaped structureand as useful building blocks to synthesize selective receptors for the guest species, notably alkali,alkaline earth, lanthanide and transition metal cations. in this work studied on the complexingproperties of a ...

The metal ion chemistry of macrocyclic ligands has now become a major subdivision of inorganic chemistry and is a growing area of research in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry. The field of macrocylic chemistry of metals is developing very fast because of its applications and importance in the area of coordination chemistry. Macrocyclic ligands and their transition metal complexes have recei...

chelating resins based on polyacrylonitrile and diethylenetriamine (pan-dta) wereprepared through the simple reaction of polyacrylonitrile with various volume percents ofdiethylenetriamine (dta), (25, 50, 75 and 100). the prepared resins were applied to removeheavy metal ions such as cu(ii), zn(ii) and cd(ii) from aqueous solutions. the sorptionbehaviors of the resins for these metal ions were ...

A new series of transition metal complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) were synthesized from the Schiff base ligand derived from 4-aminoantipyrine, furfural and o-phenylenediamine. The structural features were derived from their elemental analyses, infrared, UV-visible spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analyses, ESR spectral analyses and conductivity measureme...

Transition metal complexes containing bidentate O,O donor ligand, i.e. 3-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)4-hydroxy-6-methyl-pyran 2-one derived from 3-acetyl-6-methyl-pyran-2,4(3H)-dione (dehydroacetic acid) and p-chlorobenzaldehyde,have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, conductometry, thermal analysis, magnetic,IR, UV-Vis and fungicidal study. From the analytical and thermal data, t...

Pteridine-metal complexes have recently been studied to mimic the environment and reactivity of the metal site of the enzymes and some of these have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, however, we have not been able to find any reference to gold(III) complexes with lumazine (pteridine-2,4(1H,3H)dione) ligands. The study of these complexes may be of interest due to the well-established ...
