Novel nickel(II), palladium(II), and platinum(II) complexes having a pyrrolyl-iminophosphine (PNN) pincer: Synthesis, crystal structures, and cytotoxic activity.

A pyrrolyl-iminophosphine (PNNH) which would act as a potential terdentate ligand has been prepared by Schiff base reaction. Complexes [M(PNN)X] (M = Ni; X = Cl (1), Pd; X = Cl (2), Br (3), I (4), M = Pt; X = Cl (5)) were prepared. The title complexes were characterized by various spectroscopic (IR, H, C, and P NMR) and elemental analyses.

Synthesis, Antibacterial Activity and Molecular Docking of Phospholidinones in Stigmastane Series.

Introduction: Steroid compounds are widely distributed in nature throughout scientific history. Living organisms such as animals and vegetables have steroids that show a significant effect on their vital activities. Sterols are key components of all eukaryotic cell membranes.

Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Cu(II) and Fe(III) Complexes Incorporating Azo-Azomethine Ligand.

We are reporting a novel azo-azomethine ligand, HL and its complexes with Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions. The ligand and its complexes are characterized by various physico-chemical techniques using C,H,N analyses, FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, ESI-MS and UV-Vis studies. TGA analyses reveal complexes are sufficiently stable and undergo two-step degradation processes.

DFT/TD-DFT calculations, spectroscopic characterizations (FTIR, NMR, UV-vis), molecular docking and enzyme inhibition study of 7-benzoyloxycoumarin.

The quantum chemical study, spectroscopic characterization and biological activity of the pharmaceutically active 7-benzoyloxycoumarin (2) molecule have been presented. Potential energy surface (PES) scanning has been performed to search for the most stable molecular geometry of the present compound. The stable geometry in the ground state, IR, UV-Vis absorption and NMR (C, H) spectra of the title compound were theoretically obtained and compared with the experimental one.

Synthesis and Characterization of [Mn(III)(6)(N-formylsalicylhydrazidate)(6)(MeOH)(6)]: A New Type of Macrocyclic Hexanuclear Manganese Cluster.

The macrocyclic hexanuclear metal cluster, [Mn(III)(6)(fshz)(6)S(6)], 1 (S = MeOH), was prepared using a trianionic pentadentate ligand, N-formylsalicylhydrazidate (fshz(3)(-)). Due to the meridional coordination of the ligand to the metal ion, the ligand is not only bridging the ring metal ions using a hydrazide N-N group but also enforcing the stereochemistry of the metal ions as a propeller configuration. The alternations of the chiralities of the metal centers expand the cyclic ring system of complex 1 to the 24-membered ring system.
