In the title compound, [Zn(C4H8NOS2)2(C12H10N4)], the ZnII atom exists within a NS4 donor set defined by two chelating di-thio-carbamate ligands and a pyridyl-N atom derived from a terminally bound 4-pyridine-aldazine ligand. The distorted coordination geometry tends towards square-pyramidal with the pyridyl-N atom occupying the apical position. In the crystal, hydroxyl-O-H⋯O(hydrox-yl) and hyd...

Boron arylations of B-(methoxo)triphenylsubporphyrin have been developed with a combined use of ArZnI⋅LiCl and trimethylsilyl chloride. Aryl zinc reagents bearing bromo, cyano, amide, and ester groups can be employed for the B-arylation reaction to provide the corresponding B-arylated subporphyrins in moderate yields. Postmodifications of B-arylated subporphyrins have been demonstrated without ...

In the course of the last 20 years, our view on rotaxanes and catenanes has completely changed. Copper(I)-templated strategies, in particular, have allowed us to prepare catenanes on a real preparative scale, in a few chemical steps from commercially available compounds. A particularly significant improvement was the introduction of the recently developed ring-closing metathesis reaction, using...

A novel multi-channel barcode module was developed by using chiral co-crystals which contain field-induced SMM behavior and different emission bands. The [Zn(H2L)Dy(DBM)2]4(ClO4)4⋅9CH3OH⋅H2O (1a) [Zn(H2L)Dy(DBM)2]4(ClO4)4⋅8CH3OH⋅0.5H2O (1b) (H4L = 2,2′-[1,2-ethanediylbis[(hydroxyethylimino)methylene]]bis[6-methoxy-4-methyl-phenol], HDBM dibenzoylmethane) were obtained through one-pot reaction o...

Novel triarylazoimidazoles containing strong electron donors (p-NEt2) or acceptors (p-NO2) by the azoaryl group, and their group 12 metal complexes were synthesized fully characterized, including X-ray analysis for several complexes. exhibit red photo-luminescence emission (Φ up to 0.21) in a solution. Moreover, antibacterial activity of was tested against Gram-positive microorganism S. aureus ...

Resistance to antimicrobial agents is responsible for major social and economic losses. The World Health Organization estimated 700,000 global deaths a year due resistance. use of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as antibacterial materials could present way reduce the risk bacterial infections resistance, by partial release metallic ions in aqueous dispersion. dissolution different synthetic LD...

Pulse-dipolar EPR is an appealing strategy for structural characterization of complex systems in solution that complements other biophysical techniques. Significantly, the emergence genetically encoded self-assembling spin labels exploiting exogenously introduced double-histidine motifs conjunction with CuII-chelates offers high precision distance determination nonpermissive to thiol-directed l...
