The self-assembly of an angular 2,5-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-thia-diazole ligand (L) with silver nitrate (AgNO3) produced a new dinuclear silver(I) coordination complex, [Ag2(C12H8N4S)2(NO3)2]·4H2O, which crystallizes with two Ag atoms bridged by two L ligands. The Ag atom is surrounded by four N atoms of L and by one O from the nitrate anion defining a distorted square pyramid. The atoms compr...

Metal complexes of malonie acid (metal = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Ag(I)) were prepared and only the Ag(I) complex inhibited the growth of Candida albicans. Malonate complexes incorporating the chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (1,10-phen) ligand showed a range of activities: good (Mn(II), Cu(II), Ag(I)); moderate (Zn(II)); poor (Co(II), Ni(II)). Metal-free 1,10-phen and Ag(CH(3)CO(2)...

An N-heterocyclic carbene ligand precursor bearing a ?-extended phenanthridine (3,4-benzoquinoline) unit is presented. The proligand was isolated as the imidazolium salt of chloride (1•HCl), bromide (1•HBr), or hexafluorophosphate (1•HPF 6 ) counterions. These salts can be deprotonated and installed on silver centres using Ag 2 O both base source metal ion. resulting Ag(I) complex (1)AgCl used ...

A fully conjugated ligand 4,42 -bis(1,10-phenanthroline-[5,6-d]imidazole-2-yl)-biphenyl based on 1,10-phenanthroline and biphenyl groups was firstly synthesized. The corresponding polymeric macrocyclic complexes with Ti(III) and V(III) were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, elemental Analysis, conductivity measurement, UV-Vis and luminescence spectra at room temperature revealed that both...

The formation and stability of alkali metal complexes with crown ethers containing an anthraquinone unit has been investigated in methanol and acetonitrile solutions by potentiometric methods. Complexes of 1:1 stoichiometry were observed for all the studied systems; 2:1 complexes were only detected for the larger alkali cations (Rb and Cs) and with the ligand with the larger macrocyclic cavity ...

Introduction: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown enormous potential in neuroscience. Nerve growth factor (NGF)-CNTs complex promotes the neuronal growth, however, the underlying mechanism(s) have remained elusive. Based on the interplay between NGF and the endocannabinoid system, involvement of the neuroprotective endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), was investigated in the mechanis...

The potential of thio and seleno germanones [LPhGe═E] (L = aminotroponiminate (ATI) ligand, E = S 3, Se 4) to function as ligands has been demonstrated through the isolation of their silver(I) iodide complexes [{(t-Bu)2ATIGe(E)Ph}2(Ag2I2)] (E = S 5, Se 6) with a planar and discrete Ag2I2 core. Compounds 5 and 6 possess the hitherto unknown Ge═E→Ag-I moieties and the crystallographic data reveal...

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, {[AgEr(C(5)H(3)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(2)O(4))]·H(2)O}(n), contains one Er(III) atom, one Ag(I) atom, two pyrazine-2-carboxyl-ate (pyc) ligands, two half oxalate ligands (each lying on an inversion center) and one uncoordinated water mol-ecule. The Er(III) atom is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms from two pyc ligands, one O atom from a third pyc ligand...

A BODIPY-labeled macrocyclic heptaoxazole, L1BOD-7OTD, was developed as a fluorescent ligand for G-quadruplexes. The results of the study show that L1BOD-7OTD both selectively induces the formation of intramolecular G-quadruplexes from some G-quadruplex forming oligonucleotides (GFOs). In addition, the labelled macrocyclic heptaozaxole strongly binds to and stabilizes intramolecular G-quadruple...

Macrocyclic complexes and their chemistry is a growing area of research in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry in point of its biological significance [1]. Macrocyclic complexes have also received special attention because of their mixed soft –hard donor acceptor character and versatile coordination behavior and their pharmacological properties [2]. Macrocyclic ligands and complexes have versa...
