In this paper, we investigated two originated metamorphosed harzburgites of the metaperidotite complex from the northern part of the Gishaki area. Harzburgite rocks, as main ultramafic complexes of the studied area, were exposed in the scattered location of the area. Despite intensive alterations, harzburgitic units were discriminated using petrography and Raman spectroscopy studies of relict m...

Octahedral transition metal complexes have been shown to have tremendous applications in chemical biology and medicinal chemistry. Meanwhile, structural transition metals can be replaced by inert octahedral silicon in a proof-of-principle study. We here introduce the first example of octahedral silicon complexes, which can very well serve as an efficient antimicrobial agent. The typical silicon...

The syntheses and characterization of tetranuclear Ni complexes [(L2)Ni4][C104]4 (3) and [(L2)Ni4(NCS)4] (4) of a 40-membered macrocyclic octaamine-tetrathiophenolate ligand (L2)4are described. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of 4 reveals well-separated molecules of the tetranuclear isothiocyanate complex [(L2) N i 4(NCS)4]. The four Ni" centers are arranged in binuclear [N2N i(^2-SR)2N...

A selected solid complex of the Schiff base ligand derived from Glutaric anhydride with Cu(II) ion was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, Electronic, ESR Spectral Analyses, Magnetic susceptibility and Molar Conductance Measurements. The disappearance of ν(O-H) hydroxyl band of the phenolic and the lowering shift of the stretching frequency of the ν(CH=N) azomethine band in the ligand after...

The reaction of 4-ethynyl-pyridine with tert-butyl lithium followed by its addition to (Me3tacn)RhCl3 affords the facial octahedral complex (Me3tacn)Rh(CCPy)3, condensation of which with the square planar complex cis-(DCPE)Pt(NO3)2 results in a self-assembled trigonal bipyramidal cage with Rh(III) and Pt(II) atoms occupying the vertices.

A new tetradentate Schiff base-like ligand H2L (1) ((E,E)-dimethyl-2,2′-[1,2-phenylenebis(aminomethylidyne)]bis[3-oxobutanoate]) was synthesised and structurally characterised. Its reaction with iron(II) acetate leads to the formation of the octahedral N2O4-coordinated complex [FeL(MeOH)2] (2). The complex is a pure high-spin (HS) compound as is evident from magnetic measurements and X-ray crys...
