In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(CH(3))(2)(C(9)H(8)N(2)O(3))(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Sn atom exhibits a penta-gonal bipyramidal coordination geometry defined by two C, three N and two O atoms. The bond distances for Sn-C, Sn-N and Sn-O are in the ranges 2.097 (3)-2.098 (3), 2.298 (2)-2.623 (2) and 2.157 (2)-2.266 (2) Å, respectively. The mol-ecular structure of the monomeric com...

The photophysical properties of Ruthenium-bipyridine complexes bearing a bibenzimidazole ligand were investigated. The nitrogens on the bibenzimidazole-ligand were protected, by adding either a phenylene group or a 1,2-ethandiyl group, to remove the photophysical dependence of the complex on the protonation state of the bibenzimidazole ligand. This protection results in the bibenzimidazole liga...

The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(C(7)H(6)Cl)(2)Cl(2)(C(20)H(14)N(4))], contains two independent mol-ecules. Each Sn(IV) atom is chelated by the bipyridine-like N-heterocycle and exists in a distorted trans-C(2)SnCl(2)N(2) octa-hedral coordination environment. One chloro-benzyl substituent is disordered in each mol-ecule in 0.5:0.5 and 0.778 (2):0.222 (2) r...

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Pt(CH(3))(3)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(C(4)H(7)NS(2))]BF(4), contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules. The Pt(IV) atom in each complex cation exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry, built up by three methyl ligands in a facial binding fashion, a bipyridine ligand and a monodentately N-bound 2-methyl-sulfanyl-2-thia-zoline ligand (c...

In the complex cation of the title compound, [Mg(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(4)](C(7)H(4)BrO(2))(2), the Mg(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and four water O atoms in a distorted MgN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry. The cation is located on a special position on a twofold rotation axis which passes through the Mg(II) atom and the centroid of the 2,2'-bipyridine ligand....

In the title compound, [Sr(C(10)H(15))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Sr-N distances are 2.624 (3) and 2.676 (3) Å, the Sr⋯Cp ring centroid distances are 2.571 and 2.561 Å and the N-C-C-N torsion angle in the bipyridine ligand is -2.2 (4)°. Inter-estingly, the bipyridine ligand is tilted. The angle between the plane defined by the Sr atom and the two bipyridyl N atoms and the plane defined by the 12 a...

Consecutive thymine sequences were oxidized more efficiently with a mixture including potassium osmate, potassium hexacyanoferrate(III), and bipyridine than an isolated thymine, and, in particular, osmium oxidation at the 5'T of TT progressed much more rapidly, compared with those of other thymines.

Straightforward palladium(II) catalyzed direct cross-coupling reaction between decyl, (S)-2-methyl-butyl, and dodecyl N-substituted diketopyrrolopyrrole thiophene (DPPT), including a 3-methoxy-thiophene derivative, 6-bromo-2,2′-bipyridine afforded series of mono- bis-bipyridine substituted DPPT ligands 1–3. Complexation reactions with PtCl2(DMSO)2 provided ortho-metalated platinum(II) complexes...

In the title compound, {[Mn(C(15)H(8)O(7))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(3)]·C(10)H(8)N(2)·2H(2)O}(n), the bridging mode of the coordinating 4,4'-bipyridine ligands leads to the formation of polymeric zigzag chains parallel to [0-11]. The chains are separated by 4,4'-bipyridine and water solvent mol-ecules. Within a chain, the Mn(II) atom is six-coordinated by two N atoms of the bridging 4,4'-bipyridin...
