Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structure of two zinc(II) halide complexes with the symmetrical bidentate Schiff-base ligand (3,4-MeO-ba)2en

Abstract  

In this study two zinc(II) halide complexes with the Schiff-base ligand (3,4-MeO-ba)₂en [N,N′-bis(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses (CHN), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The metal-to-ligand ratio was found to be 1:1 within the formula ZnX₂((3,4-MeO-ba)₂en) (X = Br, I). Crystal structure analysis reveals that the coordination geometry around the zinc(II) ions in the two isotypic complexes is distorted tetrahedral. The Schiff-base ligand (3,4-MeO-ba)₂en acts as a chelating ligand and coordinates via two N atoms to the metal center and adopts an (E,E) conformation. The coordination spheres of the metal atoms are completed by the two halide atoms, which are also involved in weak non-classical hydrogen-bonding interactions of the type C–H···X–Zn.     

Synthesis,Characterization and X‐ray Crystal Structures of [Cu(ncaen)2]ClO4 and [Cu(nca2en)(PPh3)2]BPh4 Complexes

A novel ligand, N,N′‐Bis‐[3‐(2‐nitrophenyl)‐allylidene]‐ethane‐1,2‐diamine (nca₂en), and their corresponding copper(I) complexes, [Cu(ncaen)₂]ClO₄ ( 1 ), and [Cu(nca₂en)(PPh₃)₂]BPh₄ ( 2 ), have been synthesized and characterized by CHN analyses, ¹H and ¹³C‐NMR, IR, and UV‐Vis spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structures of [Cu(ncaen)₂]ClO₄ ( 1 ), and [Cu(nca₂en)(PPh₃)₂]BPh₄ ( 2 ), were determined by X‐ray crystallography from single‐crystal data. The coordination polyhedron about the copper(I) atom in the two complexes is best described as a distorted tetrahedron. A quasireversible redox behavior is observed for complex 1 and 2 (E_1/2 = 0.55 and 0.95 V, respectively).

Coefficient estimates for certain classes of meromorphic bi-univalent functions

We define a new class of meromorphic bi-univalent functions and use the Faber polynomial expansions to determine the coefficient bounds for such functions. Our results generalize and/or improve some of the previously known results. A meromorphic function is said to be bi-univalent in a given domain Δ if both the function and its inverse map are univalent there.     

STARLIKENESS AND SUBORDINATION PROPERTIES OF A LINEAR OPERATOR

In this paper, we introduce a new class of p-valent analytic functions defined by using a linear operator Lαk. For functions in this class Hαk(p, λ; h) we estimate the coefficients.Furthermore, some subordination properties related to the operator Lαkare also derived.     

Photoinduced Graft Copolymerization onto Chitosan Under Heterogeneous Conditions

Photoinitiated graft copolymerization of acrylamide onto chitosan under heterogeneous conditions and in the absence of a photo initiator was investigated. The effect of irradiation time, the amount of chitosan and monomer concentration on the extent of grafting was examined. The maximum grafting percentage obtained was 294%. The copolymer was characterized using carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C-NMR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The system designed allows synthesis of grafted chitosan with free amine groups which are otherwise possible only by chemical protection. The swelling properties of copolymer were followed in aqueous solution.     

Synthesis of Novel 1‐(Benzo[d]thiazol‐2‐yl)‐1H‐pyrrol‐2(5H)‐ones

The titled products comprising of two mutually merged bioactive nucleuses, 2‐aminobenzo[d]thiazole and 2,5‐dihydropyrrole rings, were obtained from the reaction between dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and alkyl 2‐(benzo[d]thiazol‐2‐yl)amino‐2‐oxoacetates in the presence of triphenylphosphine at RT.     

Application of perforated sheets to improve the efficiency of reactive profiled noise barriers

The scope of this paper is to study the performance of noise barriers treated with different diffusers with/without a perforated sheet. We investigated the barrier insertion loss using a 2D boundary element method (BEM). To obtain a better depth sequence, a Random Sequence Diffuser (RSD) was designed. The results clearly showed that employing a "RSD" instead of the most popular Schroeder diffusers (Quadratic Residue Diffuser and Primitive Root Diffuser) increased the acoustic performance. We also found that the diffuser performance improved by treating the diffuser with perforated sheets either on the top surface or inside the wells. The addition of these perforated sheets inside the "RSD" (barrier model "RPI2") improved the performance by 3.59 dB (A).
