Zinc(II) (o-hydroxybenzaldoximates) Complexes with Mono- and Bidentate Ligands

New complexes:Zn(Hsalox)(ox), Zn(Hsalox)(NHPh), Zn(Hsalox)(Hsal) and Zn(Hsalox)₂(1,2-diMeim) have been synthesised as a result of a reaction of Zn(salox) and Zn(Hsalox)₂ (where: salox ^2–=OC₆H₄CHNO^2–, Hsalox ^–=OC₆H₄CHNOH^–) with 8-hydroxyquinoline (Hox), o-aminophenol (NH₂Ph), o-hydroxybenzoic acid (H₂Sal) and 1,2-dimethylimidazole (1,2-diMeim). Chemical, X-ray and thermal analyses of the complexes and their sinters have been carried out. Thermal decomposition pathways have been postulated for the complexes. The mixtures about not definite composition have been obtained as a result of a reaction of zinc(o-hydroxybenzaldoximates) with imidazole(Him) and 4-methylimidazole (4-MeHim).

Crystallisation of Ba1-xSrxZn2Si2O7 from BaO/SrO/ZnO/SiO2 glass with different ZrO2 and TiO2 concentrations

The effect of different nucleation agents such as ZrO₂ and TiO₂ was investigated for a first time with respect to their crystallisation behaviour in the glass system BaO-SrO-ZnO-SiO₂. In all studied glasses, a Ba_1-xSr_xZn₂Si₂O₇ (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) solid solution crystallized. This phase was first described in 2015 to possess a similar structure as the high temperature phase of BaZn₂Si₂O₇ and a thermal expansion close to zero or even negative. It may find applications e.g. as cook panels, telescope mirrors, and furnace windows. Kinetic parameters of the crystallisation process were determined by supplying different heating rates in a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results were evaluated using the equations of Ozawa and Kissinger with respect to the activation energies. Furthermore, the Ozawa method was used for the determination of Avrami parameters, which provides further information on the nucleation and crystallisation processes. Scanning electron microscopy including electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to characterise the microstructure, to determine the crystallite size and the crystal orientation. For the characterisation of the occurring crystalline phases, X-ray diffraction was used.     

4-甲基-1，2，3-噻二唑-5-甲酸构筑的锌配合物的合成、晶体结构及与DNA作用

由4-甲基-1,2,3-噻二唑-5-甲酸（HMTC,C₄H₄N₂O₂S）分别和1,3-双（4-吡啶基）-丙烷（bpp）、菲咯啉（phen）合成了2个锌配合物[Zn（MTC）₂（bpp）]_n（1）和[Zn（MTC）（phen）（H₂O）₂]（MTC）（2）。用元素分析、红外光谱、粉末X射线衍射、热重分析对配合物进行了表征,并通过单晶X射线衍射测定了配合物的晶体结构。结果表明：配合物1是二维网状结构,属于单斜晶系,P2₁/c空间群,中心金属锌（Ⅱ）离子的配位构型是扭曲的四面体结构。配合物2是二维层状结构,属于三斜晶系,P1空间群,中心金属锌（Ⅱ）离子的配位构型是变形的三角双锥结构。用溴化乙锭荧光探针法测定了配体和配合物对EB-DNA复合体系相互作用,实验结果显示无论配体还是配合物均能使EB-DNA复合体系发生不同程度的荧光猝灭,且配合物的作用强度远大于配体。     

The Cu- and Zn-complex-catalyzed methanolysis of the chemical warfare nerve agents soman,sarin, and VX

The catalytic methanolysis of the chemical warfare nerve agents soman, sarin, and VX was investigated by using Cu or Zn complexes. Although VX withstood decontamination, the decomposition yield being around 96%, the soman and sarin deposited on different surfaces were almost fully destroyed under ambient conditions. The catalytic tests performed on a wide range of contaminated surfaces confirm the activity of the investigated catalytic systems, these complexes being suitable, from an economical point of view, for use in the formulation of a possible decomposition kit with military or civilian applicability.     

Synthesis,structure, electrochemical properties,and antioxidant activities of copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes with N,N-bis(N-ethyl-2-ylmethylbenzimidazol)allylamine ligand

N,N-bis(N-methyl-2-ylmethylbenzimidazole)aniline (EtAIDB) and its transition metal complexes, [Cu(EtAIDB)Br₂]·EtOH {dibromo[N,N-bis(N-methyl-2-ylmethylbenzimidazole)aniline] copper(II) ethanol} (1) and [Zn(EtAIDB)Br₂] {dibromo[N,N-bis(N-methyl-2-ylmethylbenzimidazole)aniline] zinc(II)} (2), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, UV–visible, and IR spectroscopy. The X-ray crystallographic studies of 1 and 2 have shown two different arrangements: 1 is distorted square-based pyramidal, while 2 can be treated as distorted tetrahedral. The cyclic voltammogram of 1 represents quasi-reversible Cu²⁺/Cu⁺ pairs. In vitro antioxidant tests showed that 1 had significant antioxidant activity against superoxide and hydroxy radicals.     

Fabrication,controlled release,and kinetic studies of indomethacin—layered zinc hydroxide nanohybrid and its effect on the viability of HFFF2

The intercalation of indomethacin into the interlayer gallery of layered zinc hydroxide (LZH) has been successfully executed using the simple ion exchange approaches. The synthesized intercalation compound, indomethacin-LZH nanohybrid, was characterized using PXRD, FTIR, SEM, BET, and STA. From the PXRD results, the intercalation of indomethacin anions into the interlayer gallery of LZH was successful; showing the formation of a new peak at lower 2θ with a basal spacing of 21.96?Å. FTIR analysis of the nanohybrid further supported the presence of indomethacin in the interlayer of the indomethacin-LZH nanohybrid. STA analysis confirms that the nanohybrid has higher thermal stability than pure indomethacin. The in vitro release mechanism of the indomethacin anions from the indomethacin-LZH nanohybrid showed slow release, with 95% and 78% release in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution at pH 4.8 and 7.4, respectively. The release behavior of indomethacin from its intercalation compounds in PBS solution at pH 4.8 and 7.4 follows the Higuchi model. In addition, the nanohybrid treated with normal fibroblast cell line shows that it reduces cell viability in a dose and time-dependent manner. This study shows that the high potential of the nanohybrid as an encapsulated material for the controlled release formulation of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NASID) anions.     

Enantioselective phospha-Michael reaction of diethyl phosphonate with exocyclic α,β-unsaturated benzocyclic ketones catalyzed by a dinuclear zinc−AzePhenol catalyst

The dinuclear zinc complexes as high performance catalysts were used to catalyze phospha-Michael reaction of exocyclic α,β-unsaturated benzocyclic ketones under mild conditions, and the desired products possessing 1-indanones or 1-tetralones skeleton were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities of up to 99%/99% ee and yields of up to 99%. The absolute stereochemistry of the major products catalyzed by (R,R)-L1 was determined to be the (R,R)-configuration by X-ray crystallographic analysis of 3d. A positive nonlinear effect was observed and the possible mechanism was proposed.     

A Smart Sensing Method for Object Identification Using Circularly Polarized Luminescence from Coordination‐Driven Self‐Assembly

The potential use of circularly polarized luminescence for object identification in a sensor application is demonstrated. New luminescence probes using pyrene derivatives as sensor luminophores were developed. (R,R)‐Im₂Py and (S,S)‐Im₂Py contain two chiral imidazole moieties at 1,6‐positions through ethynyl spacers (angle between spacers ca. 180°). The probe molecules spontaneously self‐assemble into chiral stacks (P or M helicity) upon coordination to metal ions with tetrahedral coordination (Zn²⁺). The chiral probes display neither circular dichroism (CD) nor circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) without metal ions. However, (R,R)‐Im₂Py and (S,S)‐Im₂Py exhibit intense chiroptical activity (CD and CPL) upon self‐assembly with Zn²⁺ ions. (R,R)‐Im₂Py and (S,S)‐Im₂Py with chemical stimuli‐responsibility allow sensing using the CPL signal as detection output, enabling us to discriminate between a signal from the target analyte and that from non‐target species.
