Tricarbonyl­chlorido(η5-cyclo­penta­dien­yl)molybdenum(II)

The structure of the title compound, [Mo(C5H5)Cl(CO)3], reveals a pseudo-square-pyramidal piano-stool coordination around the MoII ion, which is surrounded by a cyclo­penta­dienyl ring, three carbonyl groups and a chloride ligand

New imino-pyridyl nickel (II) complexes: synthesis, molecular structures and application as Heck coupling catalysts

Reactions of imino-pyridyl ligands, (2-pyridyl-2-thiophenemethyl)imine (L1) and (2-pyridyl-2-thiopheneethyl)imine (L2) with NiBr2(DME) gave the corresponding complexes [Ni(L1)Br2] (1) and [Ni(L2)Br2] (2) in good yields. Treatment of 1 and 2 with one equivalent of 2-hydroxythiophenol resulted in the displacement of the bromide ligands to form the nickel(II) thiolato complexes 3 and 4. Molecular structure of 3 confirmed that L1 and L2 bind to the nickel atom in a bidentate fashion. Complexes 1-4 catalyzed the Heck coupling reaction of iodobenzene and bromobenzene with methyl acrylate.Web of Scienc

Chlorido[2-({[2-(diphenyl­phosphan­yl)­benzyl­idene]amino}­meth­yl)thio­phene-κ2 N,P]methyl­palladium(II)

In the title compound, [Pd(CH3)Cl(C24H20NPS)], the PdII ion is coordinated in a distorted square-planar environment which includes the P and N atoms of the bis-chelating ligand. The thio­phene ring is rotationally ordered, unlike in the majority of crystal structures containing this group

Dichlorido-[2-(2,6-diethylphenyl)iminomethylquinoline-N,N’]palladium(II) acetonitrile monosolvate

The title complex, [PdCl2(C20H20N2)] CH3CN, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-[(2,6-diethylphenyl)iminomethyl]quinoline with dichlorido(cycloocta-1,5-diene)palladium(II) in dry CH2Cl2. The PdII ion is coordinated by two N atoms of the bidentate quinoline ligand and by two chloride anions, generating a distorted square-planar coordination geometry around the metal centre. There is a detectable trans influence for the chloride ligands. The crystal packing is characterized by – stacking between the quinoline rings. The use of acetonitrile as the crystallization solvent was essential for obtaining good-quality crystals.Web of Scienc

Dichlorido[2-(phenyl­imino­meth­yl)quinoline-N,N′]palladium(II)

In the title complex, [PdCl2(C16H12N2)], the PdII ion is coordinated by two N atoms [Pd—N 2.039 (2), 2.073 (2) Å] from a bidentate ligand and two chloride anions [Pd—Cl 2.2655 (7), 2.2991 (7) Å] in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal, π–π inter­actions between the six-membered rings of the quinoline fragments [centroid–centroid distances = 3.815 (5), 3.824 (5) Å] link two mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers

Antimicrobial activities of a novel biflavonoid and other constituents from Rhus natalensis

Phytochemical studies on Rhus natalensis root bark collected from Kenya led to the isolation and identification of a new biflavonoid (3-(1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-oxopropan-2- yl)-7-methoxy-4H-chromone-4-one (1), named rhuschromone, in addition to two other known compounds; 2',4'-dihydroxychalcone-(4-O-5''')-4'',2''',4'''-trihydroxychalcone (2) and 3-((Z)-heptadec-13- enyl) benzene-1,2-diol (3). The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were established using spectroscopic techniques including high field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The total extracts and the isolated compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activities against different strains of bacteria

Imino-quinolyl palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes: synthesis, characterization, molecular structures and cytotoxic effect

Imino-quinolyl ligands L1-L5 were synthesized by condensation reactions and obtained in good yields. Reactions of the ligands with either PdCl2(cod) or K2[PtCl4] gave the corresponding palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes 1-10 also in good yields. All the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. X-ray crystallography was used to confirm the structures of these compounds. Molecular structures of 3 and 5 showed that the ligands coordinate to the metal centre through the two nitrogen atoms, generating a distorted square planar geometry around the palladium atom. The new complexes exhibited remarkable cytotoxic activities against MCF-7 and HT-29 cancer cell lines.Web of Scienc
