The synthesized cobalt(II) complex, CoPNBDENA and the binding of this complex with sheep genomic DNA were investigated by UV–Visible absorption and viscosity techniques. Also the interaction of sheep genomic DNA with the complex was studied using the agarose gel electrophoresis method. The results indicated that the complex interacted with DNA. The nature of the binding seemed to be mainly an e...

The synthesis of new binucleating pyrazole-derived ligands (HL2, HL3) with bulky 2,6-diisopropylphenylimine side arms and backbone phenyl groups at the pyrazole-C4 and/or at the imine-C, which are derivatives from the known ligand HL1, is reported. Crystallographic analyses of three cobalt(II) complexes coordinated by ligands [L1-3]- reveal distinct metal to ligand ratios and different structur...

Concanavalin A (Con A) purification method was developed by using calcium alginate cellulose beads containing cobalt (II) ions. The yield of Con A obtained by calcium alginate cellulose beads containing cobalt (II) ions was 6.8% as compared to 3.65% yield obtained by Sephadex G-50 method. Purified Con A agglutinated trypsin-treated rabbit red blood cells. FTIR spectra showed the presence of β s...

The title complex, [CoNa(CO5P)(H2O)5]n, was obtained by reacting sodium phosphono-formate with cobalt nitrate. The complex contains cobalt(II) and sodium ions, which are bridged by the O atoms of two aqua ligands. The Co(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated by three phosphonoformato ligands (one bi- and the other monodentate) and by two O atoms from the bridging aqua ligands. The sodium cation i...

The complex formation between cobalt(II) and chloride ions in molten NH4NO3·2.61H2O, NH4NO3·CH3CONH2·1.61H2O and NH4NO3·2.61CH3CONH2 has been investigated. Absorption spectra of cobalt(II) chloride containing variable amounts of ammonium chloride were recorded at 45 to 60 ◦C. In the absence of chloride, the solutions show spectra typical for octahedral co-ordination of cobalt(II). Addition of c...

Assimilation of ionic cobalt by axenic cultures of four species of anaerobic rumen bacteria was measured using 6oCo as cobalt (II) chloride. Uptake could be measured in all four species but may not represent active accumulation in the case of Lactobacillus casei and Propionibacterium acnes. Significant uptake (89.5% of 6oCo present) was demonstrated by Selenomonas ruminantium from media contain...

We demonstrated that single-crystalline cobalt monoxide (CoO) hollow spheres and octahedra could be selectively synthesized via thermal decomposition of cobalt(II) acetylacetonate in 1-octadecene solvent in the presence of oleic acid and oleylamine. The morphologies and sizes of as-prepared CoO nanocrystals could be controlled by adjusting the reaction parameters. Cobalt oxide (Co(3)O(4)) hollo...

interactions of cationic tetrakis (n,n´,n´´,n´´´-tetramethyltetra-3,4-pyridinoporphyrazinatocobalt(ii) (co(tmtppa)) with synthetic polynucleotides, poly(a-t), poly(g-c) and calf thymus dna have been characterized in 5 mm phosphate buffer, ph 7.2, by optical absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. the appearance of hypochromicity effect and the red shift in uv-vis spectrum of porphyrazine was ...

Whereas there are hundreds of known iron(II) spin-crossover compounds, only a handful of cobalt(II) spin-crossover compounds have been discovered to date, and hardly an in depth study on any of them exists. This review begins with an introduction into the theoretical aspects to be considered when discussing spin-crossover compounds in general and cobalt(II) systems in particular. It is followed...

A novel thiosemicarbazone from 2-acetonaphthone (represented as acnTSC) has been synthesized and its basic coordination chemistry with zinc(II), cobalt(II), and copper(II) explored. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and various spectroscopic techniques and are best formulated as [M(acnTSC)(2)Cl(2)] with the metal likely in an octahedral environment. The anticancer activity ...
