Ofloxacin (oflo) is able to interact with Co(II) and Zn(II) salts to form complexes with the general formula [M(oflo)(2)]. 4H(2)O, (M = Co, Zn). Bonding takes place through one of the oxygen atoms of the carboxylate group (acting as a monodentate) and the oxygen atom of the ketonic group. The IR bands of the carboxylic and ketonic group at 1713 and 1622 cm(-1), respectively, shift to 1615 and 1575 cm(-1) in the complexes. After dissolution in methanol, complex [Co(oflo)(2)]. 4H(2)O crystallizes as [Co(oflo)(2)(MeOH)(2)]. 4MeOH, where Co(II) ion is in an octahedral environment of oxygen atoms. This compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, spatial group P-1, with unit cell dimensions a = 9.3670(12), b = 11.4135(17), c = 11.851(2) A y alpha = 71.999(14), beta = 73.698(12), gamma = 83.528(14) degrees. Magnetic properties (effective magnetic moment 5.02 BM) and visible spectrum (bands at 490, 510, and 1152 nm) are characteristic of such an octahedral geometry. (1)H- and (13)C-NMR spectra of the Zn(II) complex indicate only small structural changes in ofloxacin upon coordination to the metallic site.

A novel Schiff base ligand (L), bearing NO donor sites, was derived from the condensation of 5-chloromethylisophthaldehyde and phenylpropanolamine (PPA). Mononuclear Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes were synthesized and were characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis, H NMR, ESI-mass spectroscopy, molar conductance, and thermal and electrochemical studies. The thermal investigation revealed that the complexes were stable up to 150-250 °C and began to degrade in stages, resulting in the development of respective metal oxides.

Electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and solvation effects can alter the free energies of ionizable functional groups in proteins and other nanoporous architectures, allowing such structures to tune acid-base chemistry to support specific functions. Herein, we expand on this theme to examine how metal sites ( = H, Zn, Co, Co) affect the p of benzoic acid guests bound in discrete porphyrin nanoprisms () in CDCN. These host-guest systems were chosen to model how porous metalloporphyrin electrocatalysts might influence H transfer processes that are needed to support important electrochemical reactions (e.

To address the ongoing demand for high-performance energy storage devices, it is crucial to identify new electrode materials. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) store energy via the electrochemical redox process, so their electrode materials should have reversible redox properties for rechargeability. On that note, redox-active metal complexes are explored as innovative electrode materials for LIBs.

Two artificial imidazole-derived nucleobases, Im (3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinolin-5-ol) and Im (imidazole-4-carboxylate), were introduced into short DNA duplexes to systematically investigate their thermal stability upon metal ion coordination. Metal-mediated base pairs are formed with the 3d metal ions Co, Ni and Zn, as well as with the lanthanoid ions Eu and Sm, which induce a thermal stabilization of up to 8 °C upon binding. The latter are the first lanthanoid-mediated base pairs involving only four donor atoms that result in a significant duplex stabilization.

The development of robust, efficient, and cost-effective heterogeneous photocatalysts for visible light-driven CO reduction continues to be a significant challenge in the quest for sustainable energy solutions. As a result, increasing attention is being directed towards the exploration of high-performance photocatalysts capable of converting CO into valuable chemical feedstocks. In context to this, Imidazolate Frameworks Potsdam (IFPs), a class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), can be a promising candidate for CO photoreduction due to their ease of synthesis, use of low-cost, earth-abundant metals, and high chemical and thermal stability.
