One-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymers based on 1,3-bis(pyridin-4-yl)propane and diimine ligands.

Two one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers (CPs), namely catena-poly[[[aqua(2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')(nitrato-κO)copper(II)]-μ-1,3-bis(pyridin-4-yl)propane-κN:N'] nitrate], {[Cu(NO)(CHN)(CHN)(HO)]·NO} (1), and catena-poly[[[aqua(nitrato-κO)(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')copper(II)]-μ-1,3-bis(pyridin-4-yl)propane-κN:N'] nitrate], {[Cu(NO)(CHN)(CHN)(HO)]·NO} (2), have been synthesized using [Cu(NO)(NN)(HO)]NO, where NN = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), as a linker in a 1:1 molar ratio. The CPs were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and single-crystal X-ray structure determination. The 1,3-bis(pyridin-4-yl)propane (dpp) ligand acts as a bridging ligand, leading to the formation of a 1D polymer.

Synthesis of CC, CN coupled novel substituted dibutyl benzothiazepinone derivatives and evaluation of their thrombin inhibitory activity.

The formation of a thrombus is a key event in thromboembolic disorders, that contribute to high mortality and morbidity in affected patients. In the present study, we synthesized a library of novel substituted 3,3-dibutyl-8-methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzo [b] [1,4] thiazepin-4(5H)-one derivatives which were tested for their platelet aggregation and thrombin inhibitory activity. Among the tested compounds, 3,3-dibutyl-7-(2-chlorophenyl)-8-methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b] [1,4]thiazepin-4(5H)-one (DCT) displayed the maximum thrombin inhibition with an IC value of 3.

Ultrasound-assisted synthesis of two novel [CuBr(diamine)·HO]Br complexes: Solvatochromism, crystal structure, physicochemical, Hirshfeld surface thermal, DNA/binding, antitumor and antibacterial activities.

Two new hydrated monocationic Cu(II) complexes with 1,3-propylenediamine and 1,2-ethylenediamine of general formula [CuBr(N-N)·HO]Br were prepared. The complexes were identified by means of several spectroscopic tools (Uv-visible, IR and MS), thermally (TG/DTA) and CHN-elemental analysis. The three dimensional structure for complex A and B was provide by X-ray diffraction studies and showed the Cu(II) ion as 4 + 1 + 1 coordinated, four nitrogen atoms of the diamine ligands, one bromide ion and one HO semi-coordinated to the Cu(II) center, a typical trans effect is clearly observed in the two complexes.

Synthesis, spectral, thermal, crystal structure, Hirschfeld analysis of [bis(triamine)Cadimium(II)][Cadimum(IV)tetra-bromide] complexes and their thermolysis to CdO nanoparticles.

Background: The coordination chemistry of cadmium(II) with diamine ligands is of particular interest. The most common structure around cadmium(II) center in their complexes is tetrahedral, that is due the octet rule obeyed. Nevertheless, five and six-coordinated complexes are also well known.

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of some new fluorine containing hydroxypyrazolines as potential anticancer and antioxidant agents.

Breast cancer is probably the most prevalent cancer in women. The development of resistance to therapeutic agents and lack of targeted therapy for breast cancer cells provide motivation to identify new compounds for the treatment. With this objective in mind, a new series of 3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl group based 1,3,5-trisubstituted aryl-5-hydroxypyrazoline analogues 4a-l was synthesized through multi-step reaction sequence.
