Triosmium clusters derived from the reactions of thioureas with dodecacarbonyltriosmium: Crystal structures of [Os3(CO)11{η 1-SC(NMe2)2}], [Os3(CO)9(μ-OH)(μ-OMeOCO){η 1-SC(NMe2)2}] and [(μ-H)Os3(CO)9{μ 3-NHC(S)NH2}]

The reaction of [Os₃(CO)₁₂] with tetramethylthiourea in the presence of a methanolic solution of Me₃NO·2H₂O at 60° yields the compounds [Os₃(CO)₁₁{η ¹-SC(NMe₂)₂}] (1) in 56% yield and [Os₃(CO)₉(μ-OH)(μ-MeOCO){η ¹-SC(NMe₂)₂}] (2) in 10% yield in which the tetramethylthiourea ligand is coordinatedvia the sulfur atom at an equatorial position. Compound2 is a 50 e^? cluster with two metal-metal bonds and the hydroxy and methoxycarbonyl ligands bridging the open metal-metal edge. In contrast, the analogous reaction of [Os₃(CO)₁₂] with thiourea gives the compounts [(μ-H)Os₃(CO)₁₀{μ-NHC(S)NH₂}] (3) in 8% yield and [(μ-H)Os₃(CO)₉{₃-NHC(S)NH₂}] (4) in 30% yield. In3, the thioureato ligand bridges two osmium atomsvia the sulfur atom, whereas in4 in addition to the sulfur bridge, one of the nitrogen atoms of thioureato moiety bonds to the remaining osmium atom. The decacarbonyl compounds 3 can also be obtained in 50% yield from the reaction of [Os₃(CO)₁₀(MeCN)₂] with thiourea at ambient temperature. Compound3 converts to4 (65%) photochemically. Compound1 reacts with PPh₃ and acetonitrile at ambient temperature to give the simple substitution products [Os₃(CO)₁₁(PPh₃)] and [Os₃(CO)₁₁(MeCN)], respectively, while with pyridine, the oxidative addition product [(μ-H)Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-NC₅H₄] is formed at 80°C. All the new compounds are characterized by IR,¹-H-NMR and elemental analysis together with the X-ray crystal structures of1,2 and4. Compound1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P $P\bar 1$ with unit cell parametersa = 8.626(3) Å,b = 11.639(3) Å,c = 12.568(3_ Å,α = 84.67(2)°,β = 75.36(2)°,γ = 79.49(3)°,V = 1199(1) ų, andZ = 2. Least-squares refinement of 4585 reflections gave a final agreement factor ofR = 0.0766 (R _w = 0.0823). Compound2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2_1/n with unit cell parametersa = 9.149(5) Å,b = 17.483(5) Å,c = 15.094(4) Å,β = 91.75(2)°,V = 2413(2) ų, andZ = 4. Least-squares refinement of 3632 reflections gave a final agreement factor ofR = 0.0603 (R _w = 0.0802). Compound4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell parametersa = 13.915(7) Å,b = 14.718(6) Å,c = 17.109(6) Å,β = 100.44(3)°,V = 3446(5) ų, andZ = 8. Least-squares refinement of 2910 reflections gave a final agreement factor ofR = 0.0763 (R _w = 0.0863).

A Narrative Review on the Phytochemistry,Pharmacology and Therapeutic Potentials of Clinacanthus nutans (Burm. f.) Lindau Leaves as an Alternative Source of Future Medicine

The application of natural products and supplements has expanded tremendously over the past few decades. Clinacanthus nutans (C. nutans), which is affiliated to the Acanthaceae family, has recently caught the interest of researchers from the countries of subtropical Asia due to its medicinal uses in alternative treatment for skin infection conditions due to insect bites, microorganism infections and cancer, as well as for health well-being. A number of bioactive compounds from this plant’s extract, namely phenolic compounds, sulphur containing compounds, sulphur containing glycosides compounds, terpens-tripenoids, terpens-phytosterols and chlorophyll-related compounds possess high antioxidant activities. This literature search yielded about one hundred articles which were then further documented, including the valuable data and findings obtained from all accessible electronic searches and library databases. The promising pharmacological activities from C. nutans leaves extract, including antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-venom, analgesic and anti-nociceptive properties were meticulously dissected. Moreover, the authors also discuss a few of the pharmacological aspect of C. nutans leaves extracts against anti-hyperlipidemia, vasorelaxation and renoprotective activities, which are seldom available from the previously discussed review papers. From the aspect of toxicological studies, controversial findings have been reported in both in-vitro and in-vivo experiments. Thus, further investigations on their phytochemical compounds and their mode of action showing pharmacological activities are required to fully grasp both traditional usage and their suitability for future drugs development. Data related to therapeutic activity and the constituents of C. nutans leaves were searched by using the search engines Google scholar, PubMed, Scopus and Science Direct, and accepting literature reported between 2010 to present. On the whole, this review paper compiles all the available contemporary data from this subtropical herb on its phytochemistry and pharmacological activities with a view towards garnering further interest in exploring its use in cardiovascular and renal diseases.

The synthesis and ultraviolet spectra of some N-aryl-2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-4H-1,4-oxazine derivatives

Two new derivatives of the 1,4-oxazine ring system ( 3a and 3b ) derived from p-aminobenz-amides have been synthesized. The uv absorption spectra of sixteen representative 1,4-oxazines all show two high intensity bands (? ～ 10⁵) between 220-400 ran. The positions and intensities of the absorption maxima have been correlated with the steric and electronic effects of the oxazine ring substituents.     

Improved results on robust exponential stability criteria for neutral-type delayed neural networks

In this paper, we investigate the problem of robust global exponential stability analysis for a class of neutral-type neural networks. The interval time-varying delays allow for both slow and fast time-varying delays. The values of the time-varying uncertain parameters are assumed to be bounded within given compact sets. Improved global exponential stability condition is derived by employing new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the integral inequality. The developed nominal and robust stability criteria is delay-dependent and characterized by linear-matrix inequalities (LMIs). The developed results are less conservative than previous published ones in the literature, which are illustrated by representative numerical examples.
