Diketone substrate bound nickel(ii) complexes of 2,6-bis(1-methylbenzimidazolyl)pyridine have been synthesized and characterized as relevant active site models for unusual diketone cleaving Ni(ii)-dependent enzymes Ni-ARD and DKDO. The average Ni-N bond distances (2.050-2.107 Å) of model complexes are almost identical to the Ni-N bond distances of Ni-ARD (2.02-2.19 Å). The reaction of these adducts with dioxygen exhibited C-C cleavage with the rate of k, 5.24-73.71 × 10 M s. The phenyl substituted adduct regioselectively elicits 52% of benzoic acid as the major product.

This current study focusses on the investigation of the self-healing abilities of metallopolymers containing different kinds of metal complexes, which were processed by direct digital light processing (DLP) based three-dimensional (3D) printing. For this purpose, 2‑phenoxyethyl acrylate is mixed with ligand-containing monomers either based on triphenylmethyl(trt)-histidine or terpyridine, respectively. Either zinc(II) or nickel(II) salts are successfully applied for a complexation of the ligand monomers in solution and, subsequently, photopolymerization is performed.

Since the biological activities and toxicities of 'foreign' and/or excess levels of metal ions are predominantly determined by their precise molecular nature, here we have employed high-resolution H NMR analysis to explore the 'speciation' of paramagnetic Ni(II) ions in human saliva, a potentially rich source of biomolecular Ni(II)-complexants/chelators. These studies are of relevance to the corrosion of nickel-containing metal alloy dental prostheses (NiC-MADPs) in addition to the dietary or adverse toxicological intake of Ni(II) ions by humans. Unstimulated whole-mouth human saliva samples were obtained from n = 12 pre-fasted (≥8 h) healthy participants, and clear whole-mouth salivary supernatants (WMSSs) were obtained from these via centrifugation.

Amino-quinolines are potential candidates that may provide some insight into the current chemotherapeutic research due to their demonstrated anti-cancer activity. This led us to synthesize and explore a new amino-azo-quinoline ligand H2L 1 and its square planar nickel(II) complexes [Ni(HL)(OAc)], 2 and [Ni(HL)Cl], 3 and the structures were determined by SCXRD. Theoretical investigation of redox orbitals of the complexes discloses that the reduction process is due to ligand reduction whereas both metal and ligand are contributing towards oxidation.

A chemical method for the preparation of nonprotected tryptophan via nickel(II) complexes under simple operating conditions was established. The carefully designed nickel(II) glycinates are inexpensive and can be quantitatively recovered releasing the target tryptophans in high yield. The method has a wide range of synthesis generality, allowing the preparation of various substituted tryptophans.

KRS-1, a biocompatible nickel(II) complex, is introduced as a potent fluorescent probe for PrP fibrillar aggregates. KRS-1 shows a 15-fold enhancement in PL intensity and detects all stages of PrP aggregation. Fluorescence microscopy confirms its efficacy in identifying PrP fibrillar aggregates in HT-22 cells.
