The kinetics of formation of the valence tautomers (tpfc⋅)MnIV(O-LA)] n+ [where LA=ZnII, CaII, ScIII, YbIII, B(C6F5)3, and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA); tpfc=5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl) corrole] from (tpfc)MnV(O) were followed by UV/Vis spectroscopy, giving second-order rate constants ranging over five orders of magnitude from 10-2 for Ca to 103  m -1 s-1 for Sc. Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) ...

BACKGROUND Aberrant biometal metabolism is a key feature of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Metal modulating compounds are promising therapeutics for neurodegeneration, but their mechanism of action remains poorly understood. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), caused by mutations in CLN genes, are fatal childhood neurodegenerative lysosomal storag...

Two new coordination polymers, namely, poly[[μ3-3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)propionato]zinc(II)], [Zn(C10H8N2O2)] n , (1), and poly[bis-[μ2-3-(1H-benzimid-azol-2-yl)propionato]cadmium(II)], [Cd(C10H8N2O2)2] n , (2) have been synthesized from 3-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)propanoic acid ligands through a mixed-ligand synthetic strategy under a solvothermal environment, and studied by single-crystal X-ray...

The hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH is mostly performed by a catalyst consisting mainly copper and zinc (Cu/ZnO/Al2O3). Here, Cu-Zn based catalysts are generated using surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) starting from material isolated ZnII sites dispersed on SiO2 – ZnII@SiO2. Grafting [Cu(OtBu)]4 the silanols available ZnII@SiO2 followed reduction at 500 °C under H2 generates CuZnx alloy nan...

Four new NiII, CoII, ZnII, and CuII complexes with the promising anti-tuberculosis drug (E/Z)-N′-((5-Hydroxy-3,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)-6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methylene)-isonicotino-hydrazide (LH) were synthesized characterized by structural methods: single-crystal X-ray diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy, mass spectrometry. The ZnII metal ions form only amorphous phases various morphologies accor...

In the title complex, [Zn(C8H4NO2)2(C10H14N2O)2(H2O)2], the ZnII cation, located on an inversion centre, is coordinated by two water mol-ecules, two 4-cyano-benzoate (CB) anions and two di-ethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligands in a distorted N2O4 octa-hedral geometry. In the mol-ecule, the dihedral angle between the planar carboxyl-ate group and the adjacent benzene ring is 9.50 (14)°, while the be...

The kinetics of ligand exchange at a ZnII center confined in biomimetic environment is studied. metal ion bound to TMPA unit covalently capping the calix[6]arene core....
