• Nine new iridium(III) complexes are synthesised featuring two tridentate ligands. One ligand is cyclometallating and the other a bis(triazolyl)pyridine. These stable, unlike their tris-cyclometallated analogues. All luminescent in solution at room temperature with quantum yields up to 3% Three analogues prepared bidentate triazolylpyridine non-emissive. ligands have been of form Ir( N^C^N )( ...

Cobalt(II) and manganese(III) phthalocyanines bearing peripherally and non-peripherally tetra substituted {(2E)-3-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]prop-2-enoyl}phenoxy groups were synthesized by cyclotetramerization of the phthalonitrile derivatives and their electrochemical properties were examined using CV and SWV techniques for the first time. The novel compounds were characterized by using IR, (1)H...

Three new Schiff bases of N-substituted isatin L(I), L(II,) and L(III) = Schiff base of N-acetylisatin, N-benzylisatin, and N-benzoylisatin, respectively, and their metal complexes C(1a,b) = [Co(2)(L(I))(2)Cl(3)]Cl, C(2) = [Ni(L(I))(2)Cl(2)]0.4BuOH, C(3) = [CuL(I)Cl(H(2)O)]Cl 0.5BuOH, C(4) = [Pd(L(I))(2)Cl]Cl, C(5) = [Pt(L(1))(2)Cl(2)]Cl(2) 1.8EtOH.H(2)O, C(6a) = [CoL(II)Cl]Cl 0.4H(2)O 0.3DMSO,...

We studied the second-order NLO properties in solution of various Ir(III) acetylacetonate complexes bearing a substituted cyclometallated 4-styryl-2-phenylpyridine (ppy-4-styryl-R, with R = NEt2, OMe, H, NO2) with the EFISH technique. The dipole moments were evaluated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. We have also investigated the Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) of composite fil...

The synthesis of new functionalised 6- and 7-membered NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) precursors bearing anisidyl or pyridine N-substituents, both symmetrically and non-symmetrically substituted is reported. Their corresponding rhodium(i) and iridium(i) complexes, M(COD)(NHC)Cl, were also prepared and characterised. The unusual Rh(iii)/Rh(i) salt, [Rh(eta(2)-NHC-py)(2)Cl(2)][Rh(COD)Cl(2)], was obt...

First, Schiff base iminopyridine ligands has been prepared by the condensation between primaryamines, different substituted anilines and active carbonyl group of pyridine carboxaldehyde, thenthe complexes [diiodo (3-ethylphenyl) pyridine-2-yl methylene amine] mercury(II), complex a,[dibromo (2,5-dimethylphenyl) pyridine-2-yl methylene amine] mercury(II) complex b, and[dinitrato bis-(2,6-dimethy...

The diagnostic value of staining cells from serous effusion and peritoneal washing specimens with a panel of four lectins was investigated and the results compared with those achieved with polyclonal anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (anti-CEA) sera. Cell blocks from 42 pleural effusions, 25 peritoneal effusions, and 14 peritoneal washing specimens were stained with Con A (D-mannosyl, D-glucosyl), ...

Polypyridyl complexes of Ru(II) and Ir(III) incorporating a boronic acid substituent undergo cross-coupling with bromo-substituted complexes, and a sequential coupling-bromination-coupling strategy permits the controlled synthesis of a luminescent Y-shaped heterometallic assembly, in which efficient energy transfer to the terminus occurs.
