Two polypyridyl copper(II) complexes, [Cu(phen)(phen-dione)Cl]Cl (1) and [Cu(bpy) (phen-dione)Cl]Cl (2), (where Phen =1,10-phenanthroline, bpy =2,2'-bipyridine and Phen-dione = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione), were used as efficient catalysts for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. The effects of various parameters such as reaction temperature, reaction time, etc. were studied. The ...

Abstract Phenanthroline ligands bearing two biphenyl ( L1 ) or tetraarylbenzene L2 substituents have been synthetized and used to prepare bis‐phenanthroline copper(I) complexes. Steric constraints are limited in the case of biphenyl‐substituted ligand [Cu( 2 ](BF 4 has obtained by reaction with [Cu(CH 3 CN) ). In contrast, large enough totally prevent formation corresponding homoleptic complex....

The binding affinity of a series of square planar platinum(II) compounds of the type [Pt(A(L))(I(L))](2+), where A(L) is 1,2-diaminoethane and I(L) are 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 4-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4Mephen), 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5Mephen), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (47Me2phen), 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (56Me2phen) or 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (34...

5,6-Dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline and 2,9-di-n-butyl-5,6-dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline were polymerized using a Ni catalyst to afford helical polymers in which the phenanthroline moieties are densely stacked on top of each other. Polymerization of the latter monomer using a chiral catalyst led to a preferred-handed helix. This is the first Ni-catalyzed helix-sense-selective polymerization of aromat...

Herein, we report the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of two mononuclear complexes general formula [Dy(acac)3(L)], where L = 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolo[4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline (1) or 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (2), acac? acetylacetonate anion. A distorted square-antiprismatic N2O6 environment around central Dy(III) ion is formed by three anions a phenanthroline-type ligand. Bo...

The aminopeptidase pumAPE was purified from the haploid fungus Ustilago maydis FB1 strain. The purification procedure consisted of ammonium sulfate fractionation and three chromatographic steps, which included anion-exchange, hydrophobic interaction, and gel filtration chromatography, resulting in a 23% recovery. The molecular mass of the dimeric enzyme was estimated to be 110 kDa and 58 kDa by...

Effects of o-phenanthroline, 2,2'-dipyridyl and neocuproine, which form stable complexes preferentially with Fe(II), Fe(II) and specifically with Cu(I), respectively, on the inhibitory activity of bleomycin against DNA synthesis of rat ascites hepatoma AH66 cells were examined. The inhibitory activity of metal-free bleomycin was suppressed in the presence of o-phenanthroline or 2,2'-dipyridyl, ...

In the title compound, {[Zn(C(5)H(6)O(4))(C(14)H(8)N(4))(H(2)O)]·H(2)O}(n), the Zn(2+) ion is coordinated by an N,N'-bidentate pyrazino-[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline (pyphen) ligand, a water molecule and a monodentate glutarate (glu) dianion. A symmetry-generated O:O'-bidentate glu dianion completes a distorted cis-ZnN(2)O(4) octa-hedral coordination geometry for the metal ion. The bridging glu s...

The results of studying the effect central metal ion on stability gadolinium and holmium complexes with 1,10'-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid diamide are presented. obtained values constants turned out to be an order magnitude lower than previously known for these elements 4,7-dichloro-1,10'-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic diamide. Keywords: spectrophotometry, gadolinium, holmium, contrast...
