2-hydroxy-5-chloro-3-nitroacetophenone isonicotinoyl hydrazone as a Schiff base ligand and its complexes with Cr(III), Mn(III), Fe(III), VO(IV), Zr(IV) and UO2(VI) metal ions have been synthesized. The ligands as well as their metal complexes were well characterized using various physicochemical techniques such as elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, magnetic measurements, therma...

Vibrational spectroscopy measurements are described for mass-selected metal cation–molecular complexes using the technique of infrared resonance-enhanced photodissociation (REPD) spectroscopy. We discuss the mechanism of the REPD process in the infrared and how multiphoton techniques or rare gas tagging can be employed to facilitate dissociation processes in strongly bound complexes. Spectra ar...

Transition-metal complexes of 3-hydroxyflavothiones have been prepared and structurally characterized; the photochemical properties of these complexes have been examined and are discussed in the context of the use of these compounds as photodegradable pesticides.

A new Schiff base ligand (L) obtained by the condensation reaction of N-acetylaceto-otoluidineand 2-aminopropanoic acid (an amino acid), is used to synthesize four mononuclearcomplexes of [MLCl] and [ML2] types (where M = Cu(II) and Zn(II); L = Schiff base) bykeeping the metal and ligand ratio as 1:1 and 1:2 respectively. This ligand and its complexeshave been characterized on the basis of diff...

The design and assembly of metal-organic complexes (MOCs) have attracted considerable attention, because of their diverse topologies and potential applications in areas such as catalysis and materials science [1 – 6]. Polyoxometalates (POMs), as a unique class of inorganic metal oxide clusters, have been regarded as excellent candidates to obtain MOCs due to their controllable shapes and sizes,...

VO(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) metal complexes of Schiff bases derived from 2thiophenecarboxaldehyde with 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline (TDNA) and 4-anisidine (TCA) are reported and characterized based on elemental, FT-IR, UV-visible, molar conductance, FAB-mass, ESR, magnetic susceptibility, thermal and XRD analysis. IR spectra show that TDNA and TCA are coordinated to the metal ions ...

A series of iminopyridine ligated Co(II) (1a–7a) and Ni(II) (1b–7b) complexes were synthesized. The structures of complexes 3a, 4a, 5a, 7a, 5b, and 6b were determined by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Complex 3a formed a chloro-bridged dimer, whereas 4a, 5a, and 7a, having a substituent (4a, 5a: CH3; 7a: Br) at the 6-position of pyridine, producing the solid structures with a single ligand co...

New monomeric cobalt and cadmium complexes with Schiff-bases, namely, N'-[(E)-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)methylidene]furan-2-carbohydrazide (L¹) and N'-[(E)-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)methylidene]thiophene-2-carbohydrazide (L²) are reported. Schiff-base ligands L¹ and L² were derived from condensation of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (iso-vanillin) with furan-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide and t...

2-[3-(2-Formylnaphthoxy)-2-hydroxypropoxy] naphthaldehyde (1) have been prepared by reaction of 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde with 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol. New N2O3 macro-acyclic ligands (L1, L2) synthesized from the reaction of (1) with aniline or cyclohexylamine. Ni (II), Co (II) and Cu (II) complexes was prepared from reaction of Schiff-bases with metal chloride and nitrate salts. All of these com...
