taining polyaminocarboxylate (pac) ligands (Ru-pac) is of continuing interest. The donor character of the pac ligand is comparable with that of many biological enzymes which make use of the carboxylate and amine donors from amino acids to bind to a metal centre. The pac ligand can form very stable 1:1 (metal : ligand) complexes with ruthenium. Early studies (1-3), later confirmed by crystallogr...

The adsorption and dissociation of water on a Ru(0001) surface containing a small amount (≤ 3 %) of carbon impurities was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Various surface species are formed depending on the temperature. These include molecular H2O, H2O-C complexes, H, O, OH and CH. Clusters of either pure H2O or mixed H2O-OH species are also formed. Each of these species produces...

Three new hybrid inorganic-metalorganic compounds containing Keggin-type polyoxometalates, neutral copper(II)-picolinate complexes and guanidinium cations have been synthesized in bench conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction: the isostructural [C(NH2)3]4[{XW12O40}{Cu2(pic)4}]·[Cu2(pic)4(H2O)]2·6H2O [X = Si (1), Ge (3)] and ...

Five crystal complexes {[Eu2(TPTZ)2(mNBA)6(H2O)2]·2CH3OH}n (1), [Eu(TPTZ)(CF3COO)(H2O)5]·Cl2·CH3CH2OH (2), {[Yb2(TPTZ)2(BDC)3]·2H2O}n (3), [Yb(TPTZ)Cl(H2O)4]·Cl2 (4) and [Er(TPTZ)(TTA)Cl2] (5) (mNBA = m-nitro benzoate, BDC = terephthalate, TTA = thenoyltrifluoroacetone, TPTZ = 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine) have been synthesized. The single X-ray diffraction reveals that TPTZ is mainly in...

abstract: two new transition metal complexes, containing the acidic ligand 5-chlorosalicylic acid (h2l5), and 1,10-phenanthroline（phen） and 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) as secondary ligands are reported. they are formulated as {[pb(hl5)2(phen)(h2o)]·h2o}n(1), [zn2(hl5)4(bpp)2]n(2). all the complexes are characterized by single-crystal x-ray diffractions. compoud 1 crystallizes in the triclini...

A pioneering research on a self-assembly of the magneto-anisotropic module [Re(CN)7] with the Mn(III) complexes involving Salen type (N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminate)) Schiff base (SB) ligands was performed using the known [Mn(Salen)(H2O)2]2(ClO4)2·H2O (1) and the firstly synthesized [Mn2(Salen)2OAc]PF6 (2). In the case of 1, a slow diffusion of the component solutions led to the ionic com...

Three barrel-shaped artificial molecular capsules 1-3, based on normal cucurbit[5]uril (Q[5]) and decamethylcucurbit[5]uril (Me10Q[5]), were synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Encapsulation of a chlorine anion in the cavity of a Q[5] or Me10Q[5] to form closed a molecular capsule with the coordinated metal ions or coordinated metal ions and water mol...

The hydrazine s-triazine ligand (E)-4,4’-(6-(2-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)dimorpholine (DMPT) was used to synthesize two new Ni(II) complexes via a self-assembly technique. were synthesized by one-pot synthesis strategy and characterized elemental analysis, FTIR single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis be [Ni(DMPT)(H2O)3](NO3)2.3H2O (1) [Ni(DMPT)(H2O)3](NO3...

The inhibitory effect of benzoic acid hydrazide (bah) and 3-methoxybenzoic acid hydrazide (mbah) on Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains has been compared to that of their platinum(II) complexes: cis-[Pt(mbah)2X2], cis-[Pt(NH3)(mbah)Cl2].0.5 H2O, cis-[Pt(mbah)2X2] and cis[Pt(NH3)(mbah)Cl2] (mean = Cl, Br = I), and cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]. The minimal inhibitory concentrations for bah and mbah were 5000-2...
