A dehydroabietyl derivative 2 bearing a 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole unit was synthesized and its sensing behaviors toward metal ions were investigated by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy methods. In THF solution, compound 2 exhibited excellent selectivity for CuII over miscellaneous other metal ions including CrII, MnII, CoII, NiII, ZnII, CdII, AlIII, MgII, PbII, HgII, NaI, LiI and KI...

Two isostructural 1D compounds {[M3(hpdc)2(H2O)6] 2H2O}n (M = Mn, Co; H3hpde = 2-hydroxypyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylic acid) were synthesized by the in situ hydrothermal reactions of 2-chloropyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylic acid with MCl2 (M = Mn, Co) and NaOH; the MnII compound shows spin-canted antiferromagnetism, whereas the CoII compound exhibits the coexistence of spin-canting and a two-step field...

A family of terbium probes was synthesized and evaluated for the luminescence detection of copper and zinc in water at neutral pH. Each probe incorporates a terbium ion chelated by a macrocyclic polyaminocarboxylate and conjugated to either one, two, or three phenanthridine antennas via a diamine linker. All three probes, Tb-1Phen, Tb-2Phen, and Tb-3Phen, exhibit similar responses toward copper...

Three new compounds have been synthesized and characterized with Fe(II), Co(II) and Mn(II), the polynitrile anionic ligand 1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-(3-hydroxypropoxy)-propenide (tcnopr3OH ́) and the co-ligand 4,41-bipyridine (4,41-bpy). The Fe(II) compound, formulated as [FeII(tcnoprOH)2(H2O)2(4,41-bpy)2] (1), contains monomeric complexes where the Fe(II) ion is coordinated to two trans polynitrile ...

In connection with the production of 46.2 min Mn via the Cr(d, n)-process, several separation techniques such as ion exchange chromatography, solid phase extraction, liquid–liquid extraction and co-precipitation have been investigated; the aim was to separate no-carrier-added radiomanganese from the bulk target chromium. Among the separation systems ∗MnII/CrIII , ∗MnII/CrVI and ∗MnIV/CrVI, the ...

A pentadentate-[N3O2] ligand, H2LNMe2, formed by condensation of diacetyl pyridine and dimethylcarbamoyl hydrazide (i. e. Me2NCONHNH2), is reported to yield mononuclear pentagonal bipyramidal (PBP) metal complexes with CrIII, MnII, FeII, CoII, NiII, that exhibit good solubility in a wide range solvents as compared the classically used H2LR ligands. With CuII, dinuclear were obtained. The potass...

A family of new MnII compounds, consisting of seven dinuclear, three mononuclear, and four trinuclear ones, were synthesised using benzoic acid derivatives n-RC6H4COOH, where n-R = 2-MeO, 3-MeO, 4-MeO, or 4-tBu, and 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenantroline (phen) as blocking ligands. The crystal structures of nine of these compounds and the magnetic studies of all of them are reported here. ...

Photocatalytic enantioselective epoxidation of terminal olefins using a mononuclear non-heme chiral manganese catalyst, [(R,R-BQCN)MnII]2+, and water as an oxygen source yields epoxides with relatively high enantioselectivities (e.g., up to 60% enantiomeric excess). A synthetic mononuclear non-heme chiral Mn(IV)-oxo complex, [(R,R-BQCN)MnIV(O)]2+, affords similar enantioselectivities in the epo...
