Ni2+ supported on hydroxyapatite-core@shell γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3@HAp-Ni2+) was found to be a useful catalyst for the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives from o-phenylenediamine and aldehydes under solvent and solvent-free conditions at 80 °C. This reaction affords the corresponding benzimidazole derivatives compared with the classical reactions this method consistently gives a high...

BACKGROUND Hydrazones and their metal complexes were heavily studied due to their pharmacological applications such as antimicrobial, anticonvulsant analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents. This work aims to synthesize and characterize novel complexes of VO(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Zr(4+)and Pd(2+) ions with oxalo bis(2,3-butanedione-hydrazone). Single crystals of the li...

In this study, the complexation reaction between Alprazolam (ALP) and metal ions (Zn2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Co2+) was investigated by using spectrophotometry in ethanol solvent. The stoichiometry of M+/ALP complexes was calculated by applying the Job, molar ratio and Continuous Changes methods and the relevant diagrams were plotted for each metal ions in each method. The results show that the obtain...

A new Schiff base ligand, 2,2'-{pyridine-2,6-diylbis[nitrilo(E)methylylidene]}bis(4 bromophenol),has been synthesized by reaction of the 2,6-diamino pyridine with 5-bromo salicylaldehyde at ethanolunder refluxing. The structure of the synthesized compound resulted from the IR, 1HNMR, MS andUV spectroscopy and elemental analysis data. Formation Constant (kf) value of it’s complexes withCu2+, Ni2...

The reaction of (μ-Cl)2Ni2(NHC)2 (NHC = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene (IPr) or 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolidin-2-ylidene (SIPr)) with either one equivalent of sodium cyclopentadienyl (NaCp) or lithium indenyl (LiInd) results in the formation of diamagnetic NHC supported Ni(I) dimers of the form (μ-Cp)(μ-Cl)Ni2(NHC)2 (NHC = IPr (1 a) or SIPr (1 b); C...

Abstract In this study we fabricated, for the first time, magnesium gallate (MgGa 2 O 4 , a partially inverted spinel) transparent ceramics, both undoped and doped with 1 at% Ni. The specimens were derived from in-house prepared powder, crystallite size of ∼10 nm (by wet chemistry) densified by pulsed electric current sintering (PECS; peak temperature 950 °C 90 min). Densification levels 99.84%...

A number of bacterial glyoxalase I enzymes are maximally activated by Ni2+ and Co2+ ions, but are inactive in the presence of Zn2+, yet these enzymes will also bind this metal ion. The structure-activity relationships between these two classes of glyoxalase I serve as important clues as to how the molecular structures of these proteins control metal-activation profiles.

We report herein a fluoroionophore sensor derivated from tryptophan that shows high sensitivity (detection limit up to 0.15 microM) and specific selectivity for lead ion (Pb2+) over Ca2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, K+, Mg2+, Na+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ in aqueous solution.

The syntheses, characterisation and complexation reactions of a series of binucleating Schiff-base calixpyrrole macrocycles are described. The acid-templated [2+2] condensations between meso-disubstituted diformyldipyrromethanes and o-phenylenediamines generate the Schiff-base pyrrolic macrocycles H(4)L(1) to H(4)L(6) upon basic workup. The single-crystal X-ray structures of both H(4)L(3).2 EtO...
