Coordination of copper (I) and (II) salts to melamine (Mel) produces [CuX(Mel)] [X = Cl (5a), Br (5b), I (5c), NO3 (5d)], [CuX2(Mel)2] Æ S [X = Cl, S = H2O (6a); X = Cl, S = 2 MeOH (6b); X = Br, S = 1/2H2O (6c); X = OAc, S = none (6d)], and [Cu(OAc)2(Mel)] (7). The chemical identity of the complexes has been confirmed by elemental analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetry, and infrar...

Copper(ii)-alkylperoxo adducts, [Cu(CHDAP)(OOR)]+ (CHDAP = N,N'-dicyclohexyl-2,11-diaza[3,3](2,6)pyridinophane; R = C(CH3)2Ph and tBu), were prepared and characterized using various physicochemical methods. These are the first synthetic Cu(ii)-alkylperoxo complexes that can perform aldehyde deformylation (i.e., nucleophilic reactivity) under the stoichiometric reaction conditions, which was con...

Three new transition-metal complexes were produced by refluxing azodicarbonamide (ADCA) with nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) solutions in a mixture of 50% (v/v) methanol water. The magnitude chelation between metal ions ligand molecules was assessed FT-IR, UV, elemental analysis, TGA, conductivity, mass, magnetic susceptibility measurements. FT-IR analysis suggested bi-dentate all complexe...

Two new trinuclear copper(ii) complexes without end-capping ligands, (Bu4N)2[Cu(dmso)2{Cu(dnopba)(dmso)}2] () and (Bu4N)2[Cu(dmso)2{Cu(dcopba)(dmso)}2] () [dnopba = 4,5-dinitro-ortho-phenylenebis(oxamate), dcopba = 4,5-dichloro-ortho-phenylenebis(oxamate), Bu4N(+) = tetra-n-butylammonium and dmso = dimethylsulfoxide], were synthesized and their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray...

The synthesis of novel N,Nʹ-disubstituted benzoyl thiourea ligand [3,4-dichloro-N-((5-chloropyridin-2-yl)carbamothioyl) benzamide] (L) is achieved in two steps. First step by refluxing KSCN with 3,4-dichloro chloride CH3CN solvent and the other reaction resulting filtrate from first 2-amino-5-chloropyridine. copper(II), Cobalt(II), Nickel(II) Zinc(II) acetate salts were coordinated L 1:1 1:2 mo...

Three copper(II)@hemicryptophane complexes with various cavity sizes and shapes, Cu(II)@1, Cu(II)@2 and Cu(II)@3, were synthesized and characterized by near-IR/vis and EPR spectroscopies. The spectroscopic data are consistent with the presence of a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry of the N(4)Cu·H(2)O core, in accord with the energy-minimized structures obtained from DFT calculations. Cyclic voltam...

We have synthesized a novel series of Schiff bases by condensation of 4-aminoantipyrine and various aromatic aldehydes followed by reaction with thiosemicarbazide. These thiosemicarbazones are potential ligands toward transition metal ions. The reaction of copper(II) salts with 4[N-(benzalidene)amino]antipyrinethiosemicarbazone (BAAPTS), 4[N-(4'-methoxybenzalidene) amino] antipyrinethiosemicarb...

Stereocontrolled coordination-insertion polymerization of rac-lactide remains a catalytic challenge despite the large number of studies and the successful marketing of polylactide as a disposable plastic. Although a number successful catalysts have been proposed, a system re-uniting high stereoselectivity with high activity and chemical robustness remains absent. We have been recently concentra...

Under ambient conditions, toluene can be oxidized selectively to benzaldehyde, an essential compound in the chemical industry. Copper(I) complexes were applied combination with [Ru(bipy)3](PF6)2 and dioxygen as oxidant. A peroxido copper complex is formed active species. The copper(II) obtained after oxidation photochemically reduced starting copper(I) species, process repeated. More informatio...
