Zinc finger domains are structures that mediate sequence recognition for a large number of DNA-binding proteins. These domains consist of sequences of amino acids containing cysteine and histidine residues tetrahedrally coordinated to a zinc ion. In this report, we present a means to selectively inhibit a zinc finger transcription factor with cobalt(III) Schiff-base complexes. 1H NMR spectrosco...

A novel series of the Co/Zn-MSN catalysts with Si/Zn molar ratio of 10 and 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt% Cobalt (denoted by CZ-X-MSN) were synthesized using post-synthesis methods. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, TEM and nitrogen sorption methods. With a constant Si/Zn ratio, the increase of cobalt species from 1 to 7 wt% led to decrease the catalysts surface area from 408 m2g-1 for CZ-1-...

A selected solid complex of the Schiff base ligand derived from Glutaric anhydride with Cu(II) ion was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, Electronic, ESR Spectral Analyses, Magnetic susceptibility and Molar Conductance Measurements. The disappearance of ν(O-H) hydroxyl band of the phenolic and the lowering shift of the stretching frequency of the ν(CH=N) azomethine band in the ligand after...

a series of transition metal complexes with two thiosemicarbazide schiff bases, 1-(4-dimethylaminobenzyl- idene)thiosemicarbazide (abtsc) and 1-(2-pyridincarboxyl-idene) thiosemicarbazide (tcts) were synthesized with co(ii), ni(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii) and ag(i) salts (chloride and acetate). these complexes were characterized by different methods including proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1hnmr), ...

The study discusses the possible binding of molecular oxygen to some new CoII complexes with the Schiff base ligands of the Co(Salen) type. The investigated complexes of CoII with the Schiff bases are: (bis(5-nitro-salicylaldehyde)ethylenediaminato)cobalt(II), Co(NSalen); (bis( -ethylene-salicylaldehyde)ethylenediaminato)cobalt(II), Co(EtSalen); (bis( -ethylene-3,5-diiode-salicylaldehyde)ethyle...

Copper catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition "click method" provided an efficient and high yielding immobilization of cobalt(II) Schiff base to the azido-functionalized MeOPEG(5000); whereas the direct reaction between MeOPEG(5000) and Co(II) Schiff base did not produce any immobilization. The prepared catalyst was tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of various secondary amines using TBHP as oxida...

A new series of transition metal complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), has beensynthesized from the Knoevenagel condensate Schiff base ligand(L) derived from β-ketoanilideand furfural with o-phenylenediamine and diethylmalonate. Structural features were determinedby spectral and analytical techniques. Square-planar geometry has been adopted by thecomplexes except cobalt complex which ...
