Quantum Dot-Schiff base conjugate displays selectivity for Cu(2+) and Fe(3+) enabling the simultaneous detection of these ions in semi-aqueous solution; in contrast, the Schiff base itself displayed no selectivity.

Nonenzymatic glycation of proteins has been implicated in various diabetic complications and age-related disorders. Proteins undergo glycation at the N-terminus or at the epsilon-amino group of lysine residues. Glycation of proteins proceeds through the stages of Schiff base formation, conversion to ketoamine product and advanced glycation end products. Gramicidin S, which has two ornithine res...

In the title compound, [Pr(C(32)H(30)N(2)O(6))(NO(3))]·CHCl(3), the Pr(III) ion is ten-coordinated by eight O atoms and two N atoms from the acyclic crown-type Schiff base ligand and the bidentate nitrate group. The coordination polyhedron around Pr(III) is a distorted bicapped square anti-prism. The chloro-form solvent mol-ecule is not involved either in coordination to the Pr(III) center or i...

Although metal-based anticancer drugs have been recognized as the most effective agents over the organic compounds, non-selectivity and high toxic effects have limited their applications in a way that only three Pt-analogues have progressed into clinical use. These problems have spurred chemists to develop different strategies based on alternative targets. This work focuses on predicting potenc...

in this paper, we used tetranuclear copper (ii) schiff base complexes, [cu4 (μ-sal2hn) (μ-n3)2(n3)2] (1) and [cu4 (μ-salophen) (μ1, 1-n3)2(n3)2] (2), as new precursor in solid-state thermal decomposition for the synthesis of cuo nanoparticles. the crystallinity, purity and morphology of the cuo nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and s...

in  this  work,  a  new  hybrid  organometallic-inorganic  hybrid nanomaterial was prepared by immobilization of acetyl ferrocene on the  surface  of magnetite  nanoparticles. covalent  grafting of silica coated magnetite nanoparticles (scmnps) with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane gave aminopropyl-modified magnetite nanoparticles (ampscmnps). then, schiff base condensation  of ampscmnps with acet...
