Investigations on a series of eight novel mononuclear iron(III) Schiff base complexes with the general formula [Fe(L(5))(L(1))]·S (where H(2)L(5) = pentadentate Schiff-base ligand, L(1) = a pseudohalido ligand, and S is a solvent molecule) are reported. Several different aromatic 2-hydroxyaldehyde derivatives were used in combination with a non-symmetrical triamine 1,6-diamino-4-azahexane to sy...

Thermal and mesomorphic properties of possible 1:1 supramolecular complexes (SMCs) (Im/In) designed from two members 4-[(4-(n-alkoxy)phenylimino)methyl]benzoic acid with symmetrical or un-symmetrical alkoxy terminal flexible chains (carbons m n = 6, 8 16), were analyzed by differential scan-calorimetry (DSC), thermogravemetric (TG) analysis, their mesophases identified polarized optical microsc...

in this work we introduce a practical use of synthesized schiff base metal complex in sensing application. a new perchlorate-selective electrode based on the complex n, n'-4-nitro-phenylmethanebis-(salicylaldiminato) copper (ii) [cul] as the membrane carrier was developed. the electrode exhibits a good  nernstian slope of -55.0 ± 1.0 mv/decade and a linear range of  for perchlorate. the limit o...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(22)H(28)N(2)O(3)·CH(4)O, consists of two independent Schiff base mol-ecules and two independent methanol solvent mol-ecules. In one Schiff base mol-ecule, the 2-hydr-oxy group forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the amide O atom, whereas in the other Schiff base mol-ecule, the 2-hydr-oxy-substituted benzene ring is oriented so that the 2-hydr...

in this paper, cuo nanoparticles  have been synthesized via solid-state thermal decomposition using copper(ii) schiff base complexes as new precursors at 600ºc under air atmosphere for 3 h. surface morphology of the products were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).

Little is known about the molecular mechanism of Schiff base hydrolysis in rhodopsin. We report here our investigation into this process focusing on the role of amino acids involved in a hydrogen bond network around the retinal Schiff base. We find conservative mutations in this network (T94I, E113Q, S186A, E181Q, Y192F, and Y268F) increase the activation energy (E(a)) and abolish the concave A...

Artificial bacteriorhodopsin pigments based on synthetic retinal analogues carrying an electron-withdrawing CF3 substituent group were prepared. The effects of CF3 on the spectra, photocycles, and Schiff base pKa values of the pigments were analyzed. A reduction of 5 units in the pKa of the Schiff base is observed when the CF3 substituent is located at the C-13 polyene position, in the vicinity...
