Complexes of anionic pentadentate macrocyclic ligands by the template condensation of bis(hydrazino)2,2'-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline with an indoledialdehyde have been synthesized. The new Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) macrocyclic complexes have been characterized by analytical and spectroscop …
A new series of Co(II) complexes of the type CoLX2 , where Lis a tetra-dentate ligand 8,8'-bis(aminomethyl)-2,2'-biquinoline and X= SCN–, BF4–, I– or NO3– , have been synthesized and characterized. The complexes have magnetic moments in the range typical of a low-spin d7 Co(II) center. The interaction of these Co(II) c …
Ferrocenylethynyl is a key starting material for the synthesis of fascinating new molecules and novel functional materials. It combines the robust and redox-active ferrocene moiety with the rigid-rod ethynyl unit. The ferrocene center provides chemically and electrochemically switchable material properties whereas the …
The reaction of the pendant hydroxyethyl group in the planar pentadentate macrocyclic ligand,1,11-bis(2’-hydroxyethyl)-4,8;12,16;17,21-trinitrilo-1,2,10,11-tetraazacyclohenicosa- 2,4,6,9,12,14,18,20-octaene (L2), derived from the condensation of 2,6-pyridinedialdehyde with 6,6’-bis(2’ hydroxyethylhydrazino) -2,2’-bipyr …
