This perspective review will examine the coordination chemistry and applications of metal complexes of 4,5-diazafluorene derivatives. The versatile derivatives of 4,5-diazafluorene can serve multiple roles, and display a number of coordination modes. The ambidentate derivatives with multiple coordination sites can allow for the syntheses of coordination polymers, multimetallic, and macrocyclic ...

A series of unprecedented crown ether- and thiacrown ether-derivatized benzene dicarboxylic acid (H2bdc) ligands has been synthesized and incorporated into the prototypical isoreticular metal-organic framework (IRMOF) and UiO-66 materials. In the case of UiO-66, only MOFs comprised from a mixed-ligand composition, requiring both unsubstituted bdc and crown ether containing ligands, could be pre...

Macrocyclic Schiff base ligands (HDAA) and (EDAA) have been synthesized by condensation of Hydrazinedihydrochloride and Ethylenediamine with acetyl acetone respectively in 1:1 molar ratio in ethanolic solution. Further the vanadium complexes were synthesized by refluxing ligands with [VO(acac)2] in1:1 molar ratio in ethanolic medium. The microanalytical analysis have been obtained and UV, IR, H...

In the title compound, [Ag(3)(C(8)H(6)N(3))(3)], the asymmetric unit contains three silver cations and three depronated 5-(2-pyrid-yl)pyrazol-1-ide ligands. Each silver cation is chelated by one 5-(2-pyrid-yl)pyrazol-1-ide ligand, which also acts as a bridging ligand towards the next silver ion via the second pyrazole N atom. In summary, three silver cations and three deprotonated 3-(2-pyrid-yl...

Oligopyrroles form a versatile class of redox-active ligands and electron reservoirs. Although the stabilization radicals within oligopyrrolic π systems is more common for macrocyclic ligands, bidentate dipyrrindiones are emerging as compact platforms one-electron redox chemistry in transition-metal complexes. We report synthesis bis(aqua) palladium(II) dipyrrindione complex its deprotonation-d...

Binding of three macrocyclic bis-intercalators, derivatives of acridine and naphthalene, and two acyclic model compounds to mismatch-containing and matched duplex oligodeoxynucleotides was analyzed by thermal denaturation experiments, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry studies (ESI-MS) and fluorescent intercalator displacement (FID) titrations. The macrocyclic bis-intercalators bind to d...
