The stability of the retinal chromophore attachment varies between different visual pigments and may factor in some retinal disease states. Opsin appears to stabilize this Schiff base linkage by: (i) affecting the hydrolysis chemistry, (ii) shielding the retinal linkage from solvent, or (iii) acting as a kinetic trap to slow retinal release. Here we describe methods to determine Schiff base sta...

A new Schiff base and a new series of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) complexes were synthesized by the condensation of naphthofuran-2-carbohydrazide and diacetylmonoxime. Metal complexes of the Schiff base were prepared from their chloride salts of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) in ethanol. The ligand along with its metal complexes have been characterized on the basis of...

The crystal structure of the title Schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.The solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(II) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. The crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.

in this paper, two double helical dinuclear copper(ii) complexes of bis-n,o-bidentate schiff base ligands bis(3-methoxy-n-salicylidene-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl)sulfone (l1) and bis(5-bromo-n-salicylidene-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl)sulfone (l2) were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses (chn), as well as thermal analysis. elemental analyses (chn) suggested that the reaction between ligands and ...

Schiff base ligand (E)-4-[(hydroxyl phenylimino)methyl]benzene-1, 2-diol (H3L) was prepared from the condensation reaction of Protochatechu aldehyde (3, 4-dihydroxybenzaldhyde) with 2-amino phenol. From the direct reaction of the ligand (H3L) with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) chlorides and Fe(III) and Zn(II) nitrates in 2M:1L molar ratio, the five new neutral complexes were prepared. The character...

This paper reports the synthesis and a detailed investigation in solution, through (1)H NMR, optical absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy and second-order nonlinear optical studies, on the structure and photophysical properties of a series of unsymmetrical alkoxy-derivatized Schiff-base Zn(II) species bearing on one side an alkyl ammonium bromide as a Lewis base. Overall results suggest that t...

New coordination complexes of Co, Ni and Zn with Schiff base N’-((2-thioxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3yl)methylene) pyridine-4-carbohydrazide have been synthesized and characterized by several techniques using elemental analysis (C, H, N), IR spectra and 1HNMR spectra. The new Schiff base has been synthesized by the reaction of pyridine-4-carbohydrazide and 2-thioxo-1,2dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyd...

In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of a new symmetric macroacyclic Schiff base ligand (H2L) and related complexes with different metals. (H2L) was synthesized by the one pot condensation reaction of 2-[2-(2-formyl phenoxy)ethoxy]benzaldehyde and 2-aminobenzenethiol in a 1:2 molar ratio. The acyclic Schiff base was characterized by IR, NMR spectroscopy and elemental anal...

The Complexes of the type ML2 and M′L [where M= Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II); M′= Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)] with the Schiff base ligand (HMeOQMAMQ) L=3-[(2-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinolin-3-ylmethylene)amino]-2-methyl-3H-quinazoline-4-one, have been synthesized. Their characterizations have been done by elemental analysis, conductance data, magnetic susceptibility measurements, H NMR, electroni...
