A series of heterobinuclear, thiocyanato-bridged complexes of cations [M(NH2X)6 ] 2+, and [M(en)3 ] 2+ (where X = H, Ph; M=Cu, Co, Cd, Zn) with anion [Ni(NCS)4 ] 2 –have been prepared by 1:1 molar ratio. The complexes have been characterized by FT-IR, 13C NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy, metal analysis, magnetic and conductance studies. The complexes have the following composition: [M(NH2 X)5 ][Ni(...

the synthesis, spectroscopic and magnetic characterization of a series of new alkoxo-bridged binuclear copper (ii) compounds are described. all complexes have the general formula [cu (m-or)(l)2]2(clo4)2 · x h2o, in which m-or = ch3o-, c2h5o- or c3h7o-, l = 2-amino-4-methylpyridine (abbreviated a4pic) and 2-amino-5-methylpyridine ( abbreviated a5pic). the title compounds all consist of dinuclear...

A series of 8 new complexes of titanium and zirconium with diamido ligands bearing an ethylene and propylene bridge between the two amido groups were synthesized and tested for ethylene polymerization. Titanium complexes bearing an ethylene bridge between the two amido groups showed higher activities than the derivatives with a propylene bridge. In the case of the zirconium complexes, the p...

Reaction of copper(II) thiocyanate with pyrimidine leads to the formation of the new ligand-rich 1:2 (1:2 = ratio metal salt to ligand) copper(II) compound [Cu(NCS)(2)(pyrimidine)(2)](n) (1). Its crystal structure was determined by X-ray single crystal investigations. It consists of linear polymeric chains, in which the Cu(2+) cations are mu-1,3 bridged by the thiocyanato anions. The pyrimidine...

A high-yielding method for the direct thiocyanation of BODIPY dyes is described. In 1,3-dimethyl BODIPYs, the thiocyanato group adds at position 2, whereas the insertion occurs at position 5 in 3-amino BODIPYs. The transformation of the thiocyanato group enables the synthesis of thioalkylated BODIPYs. 2-Thioalkylated BODIPYs and 3-thiocyanato-5-piperidino BODIPYs exhibit interesting spectroscop...

Two novel pyridine pendant-armed macrocycles structurally reinforced by an ethyl bridge, either between adjacent nitrogens (for side-bridged) or non-adjacent nitrogens (for cross-bridged), have been synthesized and complexed with a range of transition metal ions (Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+). X-ray crystal structures of selected cross-bridged complexes were obtained which showed the characteristi...
