()-(+)-1-(4-Bromo-phen-yl)--[(4-methoxyphen-yl)methyl-idene]ethyl-amine and bis-{()-(+)-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)--[(4-methoxyphen-yl)methyl-idene]ethyl-amine-κ}di-chlorido-palladium(II).

The ()-(+)-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)--[(4-methoxyphen-yl)methyl-idene]ethyl-amine ligand, CHBrNO, (I), was synthesized through the reaction of 4-meth-oxy-anisaldehyde with ()-(-)-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)ethyl-amine. It crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group 222 belonging to the Sohncke group, featuring a single mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The refinement converged successfully, achieving an factor of 0.

-Di-chlorido-bis-[()-(-)-1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)ethyl-amine-κ]palladium(II).

The title complex, [PdCl(CHN)], comprises a single mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The Pd atom is tetra-coordinated by two N atoms from two -aligned organic ligands and two Cl ligands, forming a square-planar metal coordination environment. The distances from the -H atoms on the phenyl ring to the central Pd atom fall within the range 4.

l-Isoleucine-Schiff Base Copper(II) Coordination Polymers: Crystal Structure, Spectroscopic, Hirshfeld Surface, and DFT Analyses.

A new copper(II) coordination polymer was synthesized from the l-isoleucine-Schiff base and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, electronic paramagnetic resonance, and thermogravimetric analysis. XRD analysis confirmed the square planar coordination geometry of metallic centers and a zipper-like polymer structure. Vibrational, electronic, and paramagnetic spectroscopies and thermal analysis were consistent with the crystal structure.

2-Amino-4-ferrocenyl-thia-zole.

The title compound, [Fe(CH)(CHNS)], was synthesized by the direct reaction of acetyl-ferrocene, thio-urea and resublimed iodine. The structure shows one mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The amino-thia-zole ring makes an angle of 14.

Mononuclear and Tetranuclear Copper(II) Complexes Bearing Amino Acid Schiff Base Ligands: Structural Characterization and Catalytic Applications.

Two new glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complexes were synthesized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) allowed us to establish the structure of both complexes in the solid state. The glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complex derived from 2'-hydroxy-5'-nitroacetophenone showed a mononuclear hydrated structure, in which the Schiff base acted as a tridentate ligand, and the glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complex derived from 2'-hydroxy-5'-methylacetophenone showed a less common tetranuclear anhydrous metallocyclic structure, in which the Schiff base acted as a tetradentate ligand.

Synthesis of allyl-bearing dendrimers with a resorcinarene core and their supramolecular complexes with fullerene C60.

Dendritic branches of poly(arylether) with peripherial allyl chains have been attached to a resorcinarene core. Dendrimers of first, second, and third generation were synthesized. Viability to form supramolecular complexes with fullerene C60 was studied with three dendrimers of first, second, and third generation.

Neoclerodane diterpenoids from Scutellaria caerulea.

Five new neoclerodane diterpenoids have been isolated from Scutellaria caerulea: (11S*)-6 alpha-acetoxy-7 beta,11-diisobutiryloxy-1 beta,8 beta-dihydroxy-4(18),13-neoclerodadien-15,16-olide (scuterulein A) (1); (13R*)-1 beta-6 alpha-7 beta-triacetoxy-11 beta-benzoyloxy-8 beta,13-epoxy-4(18)-neocleroden-15,16-olide (scuterulein B) (2); (11S*)-1 beta,6 alpha,11-triacetoxy-7 beta-isobutiryloxy-8 beta-hydroxy-4(18),13-neoclerodadien-15,16-olide (scuterulein C) (3); (11S*)-6 alpha,11-diacetoxy-7 beta-isobutiryloxy-1 beta,8 beta-dihydroxy-4(18),13-neoclerodadien-15,16-olide (deacetyl scuterulein C) (4), and (11E)-6 alpha-acetoxy-7 beta-isobutiryloxy-1 beta,8 beta-dihydroxy-4(18),11,13-neoclerodatrien-15,16-olide (scuterulein D) (5). Structures were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods. An X-ray analysis was carried out on scuterulein B (2).
