Biological Applications of Macrocyclic Schiff Base Ligands and Their Metal Complexes: A Survey of the Literature (2005–2019)

This article aims to provide a survey of biological applications of Schiff base macrocycles and their metal complexes, with emphasis given to the synthesis of the compounds and to their uses as antibacterial and antifungal agents. The literature on the subject, published during the 2005–2019 period, is shortly reviewed. This is an informed report collecting information on the addressed topic in a concise systematic way, and can be expected to be useful as a fast literature catalogue for researchers working on this and related domains.     

过渡金属离子与Schiff碱配合物的研究——Ⅰ.双-[N-(4-甲基苯基)水杨醛亚胺]钴(Ⅱ)的晶体结构与电子结构

过渡金属离子与Schiff碱配合物的合成与性质研究始自50年代,并已有不少论文发表。70年代发现Co(Ⅱ)与Schiff碱的配合物具有抗癌和抗肿瘤活性之后,这一领域的研究工作更加活跃,但对其结构和性质关系的研究多数尚通过谱学方法进行,对标题化合物也只有晶胞参数的报导。为了探讨该类化合物的分子结构与生理活性的关系,本文首先报导标题化合物的晶体与分子结构以及其电子结构的量子化学近似计算结果。     

Synthesis and properties of polyimide-clay hybrid films

Polyimide-clay hybrid films with four different sizes of clay minerals have been synthesized to investigate the effect of the size of clay minerals to the properties of the hybrids. Hectrite, saponite, montmorillonite, and synthetic mica were used as clay minerals. Those clays consist of stacked silicate sheets about 460 Å (hectrite), 1650 Å (saponite), 2180 Å (montmorillonite), and 12300 Å (synthetic mica) in length, 10 Å in thickness. The longer the length of clay mineral was, the more effectively properties of polyimide were improved. In the case of polyimide-mica hybrid, only 2 wt % addition of synthetic mica brought permeability coefficients of water vapor to value less than one-tenth of that of ordinary unfilled polyimide, and thermal expansion coefficient was lowered at the level of 60% of the original one. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An Fe3O4 nanoparticle-supported Mn (II)-azo Schiff complex acts as a heterogeneous catalyst in alcoholysis of epoxides

In this paper, an azo-containing Schiff base complex of manganese [Mn²⁺-azo ligand@APTES-SiO₂@Fe₃O₄] immobilized on chemically modified Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles has been used as a magnetically retrievable catalyst for the alcoholysis of different epoxides to their corresponding alkoxy alcohols with methanol, ethanol and n-propanol. The newly magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM).
