Fluorescent conjugated polymers (FCPs) have been explored for selective detection of metal cations with ultra-sensitivity in environmental and biological systems. Herein, a new FCP sensor, tmeda-PPpETE (poly[(pentiptycene ethynylene)-alt-(thienylene ethynylene)] with a N,N,N′-trimethylethylenediamino receptor), has been designed and synthesized via Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction with the g...

It is a challenge to develop methodologies involving multiple transformations for preparing new materials that cannot be obtained via direct synthesis. Herein, we report an anion exchange process accompanying cation reduction and dimerisation via a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation. First, a direct reaction of the flexible tripyridyl dithioether ligand L with CuI afforded a mixtur...

Abstract This study aims to find out the way of synthesis, formulas, electronic spectra, magnetic properties, and infrared spectra formed from copper(II) with hydantoin. Copper(II)-hydantoin complex has been synthesized a mole ratio 1:2 metal ligand in methanol. The empirical formula estimated analysis copper content was Cu(hydantoin) 3 SO 4 (H 2 O) n (n = 3, or 5). Electrical conductivity show...

The title compound, (C(6)H(8)N)(2)[CuCl(4)], is composed of two 3-methyl-pyridinium cation and one tetra-chloridocuprate(II) anion. The geometry around the copper(II) ion is that of a distorted tetra-hedron. In the crystal structure, the anions and cations are linked by three different N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits aromatic π-π inter-actions between the pyri...

3-Dialkylaminomethyl substituted salicylaldoximes are efficient metal salt extractants, and, in contrast to related "salen"-based reagents, are sufficiently stable to acid hydrolysis to allow commercial application in base metal recovery. Crystal structures show that metal salts are bound by a zwitterionic form of the reagents, with copper(II) nitrate, tetrafluoroborate and trifluoroacetate for...

The structures of two mononuclear transition-metal complexes with tri-cyano-methanide (tcm(-)) and 1,4,7,10-tetra-aza-cyclo-dodecane (cyclen) ligands, [Ni(C4N3)2(C8H20N4)], (I), and [Cu(C4N3)(C8H20N4)](C4N3), (II), are reported. In the neutral complex (I), the nickel cation is coordinated by one cyclen ligand and two monodentate N-bound tcm(-) anions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The tcm...

Optimization of the hydrated Cu(II)(N7-guanine) structures revealed a number of minima on the potential energy surface. For selected structures, energy decompositions together with the determination of electronic properties (partial charges and electron spin densities) were performed. In the complexes of guanine with the bare copper cation and that with the monoaqua ligated cation, an electron ...

In the present work the function of a zeolite framework in modifying the properties of copper sites has been studied. The [Al(OH)4CuNO](0/+) systems were studied by applying the analysis of the electron density flows - contributions to deformation density between two interacting fragments. The systems were divided in the following partition scheme: the first fragment, [Al(OH)4](-) (tagged T1), ...

A highly selective copper (II) coated graphite sensor was prepared by 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)- 1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (kryptofix 5) as a supramolecule ionophore into plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane. The best response characteristic was observed using the membrane composition of PVC = 30.0 mg, dioctyl sebacate (DOS) = 63.5 mg, palmitic acid (PA) = 3.0 mg and kryptofix 5 = 3.5 m...
