Editorial: Molecular Magnets
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
Since the discovery of single molecule magnetism in a Mn12 complex in 1993, the research on this field has received growing attention. This is mainly due to the great advantages that the molecular magnets would have in ...
Taking Advantage of the Coordinative Behavior of a Tridentate Schiff Base Ligand towards Pd2+ and Cu2+
(MDPI, 2019)
We have explored the suitability of an O,N,N–donor Schiff base (H2SB) for obtaining dinuclear complexes with heavy metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, and Co2+ (borderline acids) as well as Pd2+ and Cd2+ (soft acids). ...
Attainment of Pentagonal-Bipyramidal LnIII Complexes from a Planar Pentadentate Ligand
(MDPI, 2020)
The search for mononuclear lanthanoid-based single-ion magnets (SIMs) has increased the interest in some coordination environments with low coordination numbers, in combination with an axial symmetry, as they could maximize ...
Exploring the Chelating Potential of an Easily Synthesized Schiff Base for Copper Sensing
(MDPI, 2020)
The present study deals with the investigation of Cu2+, Ni2+ and Pd2+ chelating potential of the Schiff base, (E)-N-(2-((2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)benzyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide (H2SB). Crystal structures of Ni(HSB)2, ...
A heteronuclear ZnGd complex as a potential contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging
(MDPI, 2016)
A new ligand H3L, with internal compartments for allocating 3d metal ions and external donors to bind 4f ions, was synthesized and completely characterized. Reaction of H3L with zinc(II) and gadolin ium(III) salts allows ...
A simple route to dinuclear metal complexes of a sulfonamide ligand with a potential interest in the catalysis field
(MDPI, 2015)
We report here the straightforward synthesis of some d-block metal dimers of a Schiff base ligand obtained by condensation of 2‑tosylaminomethylaniline with 4-formyl-3-hydroxybenzoic acid (H2L). The easy bideprotonation ...
Synthesis and Characterization of a New Triptycene-Based Tripod
(MDPI, 2015)
Herein, we report an efficient and facile synthesis of a new triptycene based tripodal ligand containing both imine functionality and phenolic pendant arms. This tripodal unit is a potential building block for constructing ...
Different Bridging Preferences of Zinc and Palladium in Dimeric Complexes of a Ligand Based on 2-Tosylaminomethylaniline
(MDPI, 2015)
We report here the formation of dimeric palladium(II) and zinc(II) complexes of a ligand (H2L) derived from the condensation of 2 tosylaminomethylaniline and 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde.The structures in solution of the ...
H-Bonded Polymerisation of Alternate Δ and Λ Metallohelicates
(MDPI, 2015)
he neutral cadmium(II) complex Cd(HL)2 (H2L = 2-[(1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyleneamino]phenol) is chiral and it can be considered as a simple metallohelicate, with its corresponding Δ and Λ enantiomers. In the solid state, its ...
Computational and Experimental Studies Into the Conformations of a Triptycene-Based Ditopic Ligand
(MDPI, 2015)
We present a combined computational and experimental study of the possible conformations adopted by a ditopic Schiff base ligand based on triptycene. We have performed DFT calculations on a Y-shaped Schiff base ligand ...
