Zinc(II) and copper(II) complexes of a tridentate Mannich base L1 derived from 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, pyridinecarboxyaldehyde and 2-aminomethylpyridine, [ZnL1Cl(2)]·H(2)O 1 and [CuL1Cl(2)]·2H(2)O 2, have been synthesized and fully characterized. The structure of complex 1 has been elucidated by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study: the zinc atom is pentacoordinate and the coordination geometry is a distorted square base pyramid, with a geometric structural parameter τ equal to 0.149. Vibrational spectroscopy and ab initio DFT calculations of both compounds have confirmed that the two complexes exhibit similar structures. Full assignment of the vibrational spectra was also supported by careful analysis of the distorted geometries generated by the normal modes.

Two novel complexes, [Cu()Cl] and [Zn()Cl], were synthesized from 1,1'-[(3-fluoro-phen-yl)methyl-ene]bis-[3-(3-fluoro-phen-yl)imidazo[1,5-]pyridine] (), and copper(II) and zinc(II) chloride, respectively. The structures of these complexes were confirmed using ESI-MS, IR and H NMR spectra. The results reveal mononuclear structures in which the central metal atoms are coordinated by two N atoms from the imidazole rings and two Cl ligands.

In a quest to explore interconvertible assemblies of hydrates of cobalt(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate (), complexes having cation of a chloro-substituted analogue N-{(10-chloroanthracen-9-yl)methyl}-3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propan-1-amine were investigated. In the case of cobalt and copper complexes, a crystallized stable hydrate and a less stable methanol hydrate were guided by concentration-dependent crystallizations. The unit-cells of the crystals of the methanol hydrates of the two cobalt and copper complexes each belong to the P1̅ space group but have different stoichiometries as well as large differences in packing.

Metal ion coordination is crucial in bacterial metabolism, while divalent metal ions serve as essential cofactors for various enzymes involved in cellular processes. Therefore, bacteria have developed sophisticated regulatory mechanisms to maintain metal homeostasis. These involve protein interactions for metal ion uptake, efflux, intracellular transport, and storage.

The air-stable copper(II) catalyst [Cu(FOX-L1)(MeCN)][OTf] () is prepared from a fused meso-dipyridylbisoxazolidine (FOX-L1) and CuBr, followed by treatment with AgOTf. The compound is a catalyst for the dehydration of 1-phenylethanol to styrene (+HO) in over 95% yield at 1 mol % catalyst loading. Other alcohols (benzylic, tertiary, or allylic) are also efficiently dehydrated by this catalyst.
