The reaction of MoO3 [or ‘‘WO3 Æ H2O’’], 30 wt% aqueous H2O2 with R2Si(OR0 )2 in alkaline hydrogen peroxide–ethanol affords the dimeric title complexes. These compounds represent a type of silicon-based polyoxoperoxo species which are also obtained by grafting on silica surfaces and in the synthesis of organic/ inorganic mesophases to prepare MOx–SiO2– MCM-41 or MOx–SiO2–SBA-15.

Elsevier Ltd.

Three novel trinuclear complexes Zn3(pnbzshz)2(C5H5N)4 (1), Ni3(p-nbzshz)2(py)4 (2) and Ni3(o-nbshz)2(DMF)2((CH3)2O)2 (3) have been obtained by the reaction of Zn(OAc)2 Æ 4H2O or Ni(OAc)2 Æ H2O with two new ligands, N-p-nitrobenzoylsalicylhydrazidate and N-o-nitrobenzoylsalicylhydrazidate. Complex 1 exhibits a one-dimensional wave-like chain structure resulting from the linkage of the phenolate oxygen donor atoms of the ligand between adjacent trinuclear zinc units. Complex 2 is an uncommon bent trinuclear nickel complex, whilst the three nickel atoms in complex 3 are arranged in a strictly linear fashion.

Stereochemically labile hexadentate cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes with 1,4-bdta ligand, [Mg(H2O)6][Co(1,4-bdta)] Æ 3H2O (a) and [Mg(H2O)6][Ni(1,4-bdta)] Æ 3H2O (b), have been synthesized and characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. These complexes have been shown to undergo a spontaneous resolution upon crystallization, an unprecedented instance with this type of ligand.

The syntheses and photophysical attributes of a range of dual-emissive, bis-pyrenyl lanthanide complexes based on a DTPA architecture are described. Irradiation of the pyrene chromophore results in sensitised near-IR emission from NdIII, ErIII and YbIII.

The synthesis and characterization by X ray diffraction, NMR and mass spectrometry of complexes [Pd{(C5H4N)2Y}Cl2] (Y = CNMe, 5; Y = CH(OH), 6 and Y = CH(S2CNEt2), 7) is described. The ligands coordinate to the palladium atom in a bidentate mode. 5 displays a five-membered ring; 6 and 7 display six membered rings.

The spin-allowed triplet–triplet electronic transitions of [ReCl3(bpzm)(PPh3)] have been calculated with the time-dependent DFT method, and the UV–Vis spectrum of the title compound has been discussed on this basis. The magnetic behavior is characteristic of mononuclear complexes with d4 low-spin octahedral Re(III) complexes (3T1g ground state) and arise because of the large spin–orbit coupling (f = 2500 cm)1), which gives diamagnetic ground state.

This work describes kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between picolinic acid (picH) and [Pd(a-/b-NaiR)Cl2] [a-/b-NaiR = 1-alkyl-2(naphthyl-a/b-azo)imidazole] in acetonitrile (MeCN) medium. The product is characterized as [Pd(a/b-NaiR)(pic)](ClO4) by different spectroscopic routes. It is established that the cleavage of Pd–Cl bond is the rate-determining step. Thermodynamic parameters (DH and DS) are determined from variable temperature kinetic studies.

A series of acentric coordination frameworks constructed by Cu(II) and 4,40 -dipyridyl sulfide (dps) were synthesized. All these coordination architectures are generated from achiral building blocks without any chiral auxiliary. The influence of anion and solvent on the structural architecture is discussed. Their second-order NLO properties are also studied.

The complexes of naturally occurring hydroxynaphtho-quinone, lapachol (HL) with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) have been prepared and the crystal structures of [CoL2(EtOH)2], [NiL2(EtOH)2] and [CuL2(py)2] reported. Characterisation by elemental analyses, cyclic voltammetry and FAB-MS was also performed.

A high-yield, one-step synthesis of sulfonium halogenides with long alkyl chains is described. A polar electrophilic solvent, trifluoroacetic acid, was used as reaction medium. Dodecyl dimethyl sulfonium, hexadecyl dimethyl sulfonium bromides and chlorides of high purity were obtained and characterized. The crystal structure of hexadecyl dimethyl sulfonium bromide has been determined.

Two extended network structures with the formulas [Pb(CHN6O2)2(H2O)4]n and [Hg(CN6O2)(H2O)2]n were obtained from 5nitroaminotetrazole, both complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The influence of chemical hardness and charge distribution on the reactivity and coordination properties of 5-nitroaminotetrazole have been estimated based on density functional calculations.

[Fe(bipy)Cl3(DMSO)] and [Fe(phen)Cl3(DMSO)] complexes (where bipy is 2,20 -bipyridine, phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopies and by the X-ray diffraction method.

We have investigated two new diamagnetic porphyrin complexes, namely, mononuclear mercury(II) complex of 6 Æ CH2Cl2 Æ 0.5C6H14 and dinuclear mercury(II) complex of 7, and their X-ray structures are established.These two porphyrins complexes are of SAT type. The tetracoordination for the Hg(1) in 6 Æ CH2Cl2 Æ 0.5C6H14 and Hg(2) in 7 is demonstrated and a linear coordination is described for the Hg(1) in 7.

The results of DFT calculations on hydride complexes of the type [MH(N–N)P3]+ and [M(g2-H2)(N–N)P3]2+ {M = Fe, Ru; N–N = 2,20 -bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen); P = PH3, PF3}, are described. A good correlation between various computed molecular properties and experimental data reported in the literature is highlighted. The charge distributions obtained from DFT calculations allow to hypothesize that the different acidities of iron and ruthenium nonclassical hydrides could be mainly justified on the basis of the difference of electronegativity of the two metal ions considered.

Colloidal borosilicate and boron-modified colloidal silica sols both contain B–O–Si chemical bonds that can be detected by 11B NMR. While the boron present in colloidal borosilicate is stable towards the action of catechol and tartaric acid, the boron in boronmodified silica is readily complexed by these agents.

The synthesis and crystal structure of the compounds [Mg(H2O)6X2 Æ 2ade] (with X = Cl) (1), Br) (2), ClO4) (3)), [Mn(H2O)4 Æ (ade)2 Æ (ClO4)2] (4), and [Mn2(H2O)6 Æ (ade)2 Æ (NO3)4 Æ 2H2O] (5) (where ade = adenine) are reported. Compounds 1–3 consist of self-assembled hexaaquo Mg(II) ions, ade molecules and anions. Compounds 4 and 5 represent a rare example of direct Mn–N binding involving isolated nucleobases and the first one containing ade as ligand. The detailed analysis of non-covalent interactions in all the compounds prove that the anions play a crucial role in determining the non-covalent stabilization of the minor 7Hadenine tautomer.

Hydrozincite and smithsonite were synthesised by controlling the partial pressure of CO2 resulting from the reaction in solution of zinc chloride and sodium bicarbonate. Raman spectroscopy complimented with infrared spectroscopy has been used to characterise the vibrational spectra of these synthesised minerals.

A series of heterodinuclear Cu(II)–M(II) (M = Pb and Zn) complexes of new phenolbased compartmental macrocyclic ligands, possessing contiguous (N2O2) and (NxO2) (x = 2, 3) coordination sites, was prepared and their biological activity has been tested in vitro. The crystal structure of [CuZn L3(H2O)](ClO4)2 was determined by X-ray diffraction and shows that the Zn(II) and Cu(II) centres reside in the N2O2 sites of the macrocyclic ligand.

A family of trisubstituted calix[4]arenes with a partial cone conformation has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Crystal structural analyses show that the precise shape of the molecule, and intra- and intermolecular interactions (C–H  p, p  p and C–H  O) of these compounds are significantly different due to the variation of the substituents. A complexation study with Na+ and K+ ions reveal that one of the ionophores (L3) selectively forms a complex with the latter ion.

In contrast, reactions with pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, (H2ptsc) and salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, (H2stsc) in 1:1 or 1:2 molar ratios have invariably formed the complexes [Pd(g3-N4,N3,S-ptsc)(PPh3)] (5) and [Pd(g3–O,N3,S-stsc)(PPh3)] (6), respectively.

The synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of a novel dinuclear copper compound with L -arginine, mono and bidentate HPO42) oxoanions and an OH) anion are reported. The dinuclear character and bridging scheme, rare for metal–amino acid compounds, is attributed to the bonding characteristic of the phosphate anions. The magnetic properties and EPR spectra indicate an antiferromagnetic intradinuclear interaction J/kB = )3.7 K and a ferromagnetic coupling between these dinuclear units of J0 /kB  0.3 K.

The reaction of 2,4,6-tris(pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (ptz) and copper(II) salts in DMF–water resulted in the hydrolysis of ptz, giving rise to the bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amide anion (ptO2)) and affording the complexes [Cu(ptO2)(2Clbenz)(H2O)], [Cu(ptO2)(3-Clbenz)], and [Cu(ptO2)(4-Clbenz)(DMF)]. This report includes the chemical, the spectroscopic characterization and the crystal structures of all these compounds.

The reduction of vanadium(V) by 1-phenyl-3methyl-4-toluoyl-5-pyrazolone over the pH range of 1.0–7.0 has been assessed by various spectroscopic techniques. The reaction proceeds by the transfer of one electron to vanadium(V) by the ligand via the formation of a free-radical intermediate, and subsequently the reduced vanadium species rapidly complexes with the available free ligand and forms vanadyl complex. These reduction reactions occur under physiological conditions and thus could be important to the reduction of vanadium(V)-containing coordination compounds used as insulin-enhancing agents for treatment of diabetics.

In addition, the emission color in solution can be tuned in the range 503–532 nm by the modification of the salicylaldiminato ligand.

The reaction of diacetylmonoxime and morpholine N-thiohydrazide with phenylmercury(II) acetate and cadmium(II) acetate formed the novel phenylmercury(II) complex, [PhHg(Hdammthiol)] (1) and the cadmium(II) complex, [Cd(Hdammthiol)2] (2), respectively (where H2dammthiol is the thiol form of diacetylmonoximemorpholine N-thiohydrazone (Hdammth)). Both complexes form two-dimensional supramolecular sheet and a new non-conventional CH3  O interaction (in cadmium complex).

Two new tetranuclear copper(II) complexes, each formed by a cationic and an anionic dinuclear species are reported. Both of them, characterized by X-ray diffraction, show the same anionic complex [{CuCl2}2(l-Cl)2]2) which shows weak antiferromagnetic coupling. The dinuclear cationic species [{Cu(S-dbpt)}2(l-Cl)2]2+ shows ferromagnetic behaviour.

X-ray diffraction methods. The ligands and their metal complexes have been characterised by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Among the three complexes, 1 and 3 are linear whereas 2 is a cyclic trimer. In 1 and 3, all the doubly phenoxo bridged Cd(II) metal centres have a distorted octahedral environment. In the complex 2, two out of the three Cd(II) centres reside in a distorted octahedral environment and the remaining one enjoys a monocapped octahedral geometry. Altogether a variety in the bridging mode of two new salen-type ligands has been established.

Nine long-chain aliphatic thiosemicarbazones and their nickel complexes were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods and for five of the complexes also by X-ray crystallography diffraction analysis. Heptanal thiosemicarbazone and the corresponding nickel complex were chosen after a solubility/ stability test to carry out preliminary experiments in vitro on human leukemia cell line U937. The complex possesses a remarkable biological activity in inhibiting cell growth and in inducing apoptosis.

The coordination mode of the atpt ligand in 2 is novel and is first reported in this presentation. Compound 1 shows a 1D architecture and further assembles into a 3D supramolecular network via interchain hydrogen bonds and p–p stacking interactions. Compound 2 exhibits a binuclear structure with intramolecular p–p stacking interactions, which is further extended into a 3D supramolecular framework via intermolecular hydrogen bonds and C–H  p interactions. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit green photoluminescence in the solid state at room temperature.

The synthesis of a novel PN2S-tetradentate ligand [Ph-P(Ph2)N2S(Trt)] (2) and its metal complexation with ReV precursors have been studied. Whilst the reaction of 2 with ReOCl3(PPh3)2 gave the expected stable complex [ReO{Ph-P(Ph2)N2S}] (4), an unexpected neutral and diamagnetic species, [ReN{PhP(Ph2)N2S(Trt)}] (5), has been isolated during the complexation of 2 with ReNCl2(PPh3)2.
