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). ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

The synthesis of a new asymmetric ligand (E)-4-bromo-2-(((2-((5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)(methyl)amino)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol, which was conceived to model the asymmetry in the active site of peroxidase/catalase mimics, ...

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 ...

Condensation of the selectively tosilated N-(2-aminobenzyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde gives rise to (E)-N-(2-(2- hydroxybenzylideneamino)benzyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide in the solid state, ...
