Ligand substitution reactions of a phenolic quinolyl hydrazone; oxidovanadium (IV) complexes.

Background: Quinoline ring has therapeutic and biological activities. Quinolyl hydrazones constitute a class of excellent chelating agents. Recently, the physiological and biological activities of quinolyl hydrazones arise from their tendency to form metal chelates with transition metal ions.

Transition metal complexes of an isatinic quinolyl hydrazone.

Background: The importance of the isatinic quinolyl hydrazones arises from incorporating the quinoline ring with the indole ring in the same compound. Quinoline ring has therapeutic and biological activities. On the other hand, isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione) and its derivatives exhibit a wide range of biological activities.

The ligational behavior of an isatinic quinolyl hydrazone towards copper(II)- ions.

Background: The importance of the isatinic quinolyl hydrazones arises from incorporating the quinoline ring with the indole ring. Quinoline ring has therapeutic and biological activities whereas, the indole ring occurs in Jasmine flowers and Orange blossoms. As a ligand, the isatin moiety is potentially ambidentate and can coordinate the metal ions either through its lactam or lactim forms.

The ligational behavior of a phenolic quinolyl hydrazone towards copper(II)- ions.

Background: The heterocyclic hydrazones constitute an important class of biologically active drug molecules. The hydrazones have also been used as herbicides, insecticides, nematocides, redenticides, and plant growth regulators as well as plasticizers and stabilizers for polymers. The importance of the phenolic quinolyl hydrazones arises from incorporating the quinoline ring with the phenolic compound; 2,4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde.

Stability constants and thermodynamic parameters of Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+ Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, UO2(2+), Th4+, Ce3+ and Pr3+-complexes with some Schiff base hydrazones containing the pyrimidine moiety.

Proton-ligand dissociation and metal-ligand formation constants of 2-amino-4-chloro-6-[alpha-(phenyl)ethylidenehydrazino]pyrimidine; (AHP) and its p-chloro (ClAHP) and p-methoxy (OMeAHP) derivatives (Str.I&II) with Mn2+, Co2+ Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, UO2(2+), Th4+, Ce3+ and Pr3+ ions have been evaluated potentiometrically in 75% (v/v) dioxane-water and 0.1 mol dm(-3) KNO3.
