A thorough study of structural and magnetic properties was performed on a series of trinuclear and dinuclear Mn(III)/Fe(III) complexes consisting of [M(L4)(Solv)](+) and [Fe(CN)5(NO)](2-) moieties (M = Fe(III) or Mn(III), Solv = H2O or CH3OH, L4 = tetradentate salen-type ligands), in which dominant magnetic exchange is mediated by O(S)-H···O(Ph) hydrogen bonds in [M(L4)(Solv)](+)···[M(L4)(Solv)...

Two novel series of (salen)ruthenium(iii) complexes bearing guanidine and amidine axial ligands were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for anticancer activity. In vitro cytotoxicity tests demonstrate that these complexes are cytotoxic against various cancer cell lines and the leading complexes have remarkable cancer-cell selectivity. A detailed study of the guanidine complex 7 and the a...

antioxidants act as free radical scavengers in the oxidation processes. thus, they will certainly play diverse roles in the biological systems and the therapy of a wide variety of diseases. regarding this fact, in the present study, we synthesized two new salen ligand compounds by the condensation of ethylendiamine and salicylaldehyde derivatives in excellent yields.the structures of these liga...

The Cover Feature shows “N-amino Benz” (N-(aminobenzyliden)- phthalimide) the protagonist of this article as an enthusiastic young scientist sharing his work. He a molecular redox catalytic reductive reaction discovered with benzyl bromides and chlorides to produce radicals more experienced colleagues in area at informal seminar. After all, it is not that usual have new organic mediator for red...

Lignin-carbohydrate complex (LCC) is hybrid structures containing covalently linked moieties of lignin and carbohydrates. The nature amount LCC affect both industrial processes practical applications lignocellulosic biomass. Herein, the was isolated from bamboo by successive solvent extraction precipitation. effects mechanism oxidation respectively laccase, Co(salen), laccase/Co(salen) in prese...

The catalytic, asymmetric syntheses of quinine and quinidine were achieved in 16 steps. The recently developed salen(Al)-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of methyl cyanoacetate served to set the crucial C4 stereocenter in 92% ee, and a late-stage asymmetric dihydroxylation was used to differentiate the common intermediate and access the two desired diastereomeric products with high s...

The electroactivity of zeolite-encapsulated redox-active transition metal complexes, {M(L)}Z, was explored for Co(salen) and [Fe(bpy)3] formed in NaY zeolite (where salen ) N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine and bpy ) 2,2′-bipyridine). The zeolite boundary was characterized via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and cyclic voltammetry in nonaqueous electrolyte at either zeolite-modified ...
