The title complex [Mn(tptz)(CH3COO)(OH2) 2]NO3 was synthesized through the reaction of tptz (2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine), nitric acid and manganese(II) acetate. The molecular structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, electrochemistry, EPR, IR, fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopy and its oxygen evolving activity has been studied. X-ray structure analysis shows that each Mn(II) ion is seven coordinated by a bidentate acetate, three nitrogen atoms of tptz and two oxygen atoms from two water ligands, which are coordinated in axial positions. The complex acts as an oxygen evolving complex with oxone (2KHSO5·KHSO4·K 2SO4) as primary oxidant in aqueous... 

Three new binucleating S-protected ligand precursors, 2-(N,N-dimethylthiocarbamato)-5-methylisophthalaldehyde di-2′-hydroxy 5′-methylanil (1b), 2-(N,N-dimethylthiocarbamato)-5-tert-butylisophthalaldehyde di-2′-hydroxyanil (2a) and 2-(N,N-dimethylthiocarbamato)-5-tert-butylisophthalaldehyde di-2′-hydroxy 5′-methylanil (2b), have been synthesized. The reaction of these ligand precursors with PdCl2 in the presence of pyrazole under Pd-mediated S-C cleavage yielded a series of binuclear palladium(II) complexes of general formula [LPd2(pz)], where pz is the exogenous bridging pyrazolyl ligand and L3- represents a series of pentadentate thiophenol-based bridging ligands originated from their... 

Herein, we describe for the first time synthesis, characterization, chemosenor behavior, and mechanism of metal ion-ligand interaction of two novel side-armed naphthodiaza-crown macrocycles (L1 and L2) by employing of IR, 1H and 13C NMR, UV–vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, CHN microanalysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Preliminary fluorescence studies in ethanol as solvent revealed that the metal ion recognition by L1 was strongly different from L2 suggesting the importance of the number of benzylic side-arms on the extent of the interaction with Mn+. For instance employing fluorescence titration in ethanol showed binding constant values 105 M−1 and 2.6×106 M−1 for L1/Al3+ and... 

The preparation and characterization of new heteronuclear-platinum(ii) complexes containing a 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) ligand are described. The reaction of the known starting complex [PtMe(κ2N,C-bipyO-H)(SMe2)], A, in which bipyO-H is a cyclometalated rollover 2,2'-bipyridine N-oxide, with the dppf ligand in a 2:1 ratio or an equimolar ratio led to the formation of the corresponding binuclear complex [Pt2Me2(κ2N,C-bipyO-H)2(μ-dppf)], 1, or the mononuclear complex [PtMe(κ1C-bipyO-H)(dppf)], 2, respectively. According to the reaction conditions, the dppf ligand in 1 and 2 behaves as either a bridging or chelating ligand. All complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy.... 

The bond valence sum method has been developed to high pressures considering B0(p) for calculating the valences of atoms. This approach has the advantages of finding a universal B0(P) for all the atoms -at least in YBCO, ability to evaluate the valency of each atom, and charge neutrality requirement of the unit cell. As a result, a new structural refinement has led to a more exact structural detail. The position of apical oxygen is found to be specially crucial for hole distribution between the superconducting CuO2 planes and Cu-O charge reservoir chains. Under pressure, the hole concentration in CuO2 planes increases, but in the Cu-O chains decreases, consistent with the pressure induced... 

A manganese(II) complex of 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tptz) has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. Oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones was conducted by this catalyst using oxone (2KHSO5KH-SO4K2SO4) as an oxidant under biphasic reaction conditions (CH2Cl2/H 2O) and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide as phase transfer agent under air at room temperature. Easy preparation, mild reaction conditions, high yields of the products, short reaction times, no further oxidation to the corresponding carboxylic acids, high selectivity and inexpensive reagents make this... 

For the first time the new 32-membered macrocyclic dinuclear palladium complex of two aza-crown macrocycles, bearing two pyridine arms, Pd2L2Cl4 was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Pd2L2Cl4 was investigated as a moisture/air-stable catalyst for Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction in the absence of copper and phosphine ligand in DMSO. Thermal stability, possible occurrence of tandem reactions, promoted catalytic performance as well as synergistic effects are of advantageous features of Pd2L2Cl4. By employing Taguchi method, optimum conditions (110 °C, 6 h, KOAc, 2 mol% cat.) were determined. Moreover, the... 

A polymeric manganese(II) complex with the general formula [Mn(O 2CCH2NH2CH2CO2) 2(H2O)2]n from reaction of iminodiacetatic acid and manganese(II) perchlorate under nitrogen in water, was synthesized and characterized. The structure of the complex was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR and UV-vis spectra. This complex exhibited excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for oxidation of various alcohols and sulfides to the corresponding aldehydes/ketone and sulfoxides using urea hydrogen peroxide and oxone (2KHSO 5·KHSO4·K2SO4), respectively, as oxidants under air at room temperature. The easy preparation, mild reaction conditions, high yields of the...

This was characterized by routine physicochemical studies, single crystal X-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. The structure analysis reveals that there are copper centres in two different...
