Synthesis and characterization of two new Schiff bases of p-tertbuthylcalix[4]arene (H 2 L 1 and ... more Synthesis and characterization of two new Schiff bases of p-tertbuthylcalix[4]arene (H 2 L 1 and HL 2 ) is described. The synthesis of H 2 L 1 and HL 2 has been achieved by the condensation of salicylaldehyde with the amine group of upper rim monoamine p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene in ethanol. These compounds have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral data. Solvatochromicity and fluorescence properties were observed and measured for H 2 L 1 and HL 2 . Solvatochromicity of these ligands indicates their potential for NLO applications.

Perovskites with a big cation, such as Sr 2þ or Ca 2þ , occupying the octahedral B site are very scarce because the calculated Goldschmidt tolerance factor becomes quite small as these types of cations usually occupy the A-site. This work describes the synthesis and structural and microstructural characterization of a new calcium and strontium antimoniate which shows face-centered cubic symmetry and a rock-salt ordered distribution of Sb 5þ and Sr 2þ . The ordered-cation distribution occurs due to the differences in both the ionic sizes and the bonding character of the two B-site cations. As a consequence of the cation stoichiometry of the title phase and assuming a pentavalent state for Sb, a large concentration of oxygen vacancies are created (y ∼ 0.25). Diffraction studies reveal that these vacancies tend to arrange in a short-ordered way and are related to oxygen ionic conductivity (10 -3 S/cm at 700°C) which makes these materials potential candidates to be used as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).

These pseudohalide-bridged copper(II) complexes [{Cu(L)(mu(1,1)-N3)}(2)] (1) and {Cu(L)(NCS)(MeOH)} (2) were characterised by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Their solid-state structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis which revealed that 1 is a mu(1,1)-N-3-bridged dimer, whereas 2 is a mononuclear based structure. Supramolecular interactions involving the adjacent complexes were investigated in detail. The efficiency of the ligand and the two complexes was evaluated against the bacteria Entrobacter facealis, Staphytococcus aureus, Entrobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia and Proteus mirabilis, with the complexes demonstrating enhanced activity relatively to the free ligand.

Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system and space group of P-1 and its structure consists of two mononuclear crystallographic units with metal chromophore comprising two cobalt(III) centers revealing distorted octahedral geometries and formed by distinct ligands in the inner coordination spheres. Interestingly, compound 1 represents the first complex formed by two distinct mononuclear units involving this ligand. As consequence of various donor and acceptor groups in both crystallographic units, there are several strong NAHÁ Á ÁN and NAHÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonding interactions interconnecting adjacent moieties, ultimately leading to a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Furthermore, the electrochemical behavior of the HL and compound 1 were investigated.

The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, and their solid-state structures have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealing the first binuclear complexes with the HL ligand. Supramolecular interactions invoving the adjacent complexes were studied in detail. The antimicrobial activity of HL and the complexes 1-3 was further investigated against the bacteria Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Erwinia carotovora and fungals Candida kefyr, Candida krusei and Aspergillus niger, with the complex 3 demonstrating enhanced activity relatively to the free ligand and remaining complexes.

The compositions of their frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) were established by DFT calculations, and the oxidation and reduction potentials are shown to follow the orders of the estimated vertical ionization potential and electron affinity, respectively. The electrochemical E L Lever parameter is estimated for the first time for the various bha ligands, which can thus be ordered according to their electron-donor character. All complexes exhibit very strong protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitory activity, even much higher than that of genistein, the clinically used PTK inhibitory drug. The complex containing the 2,4difluorobenzohydroxamato ligand is the most active one, and the dependences of the PTK activity of the complexes and of their redox potentials on the ring substituents are discussed.

The complexation properties of this molecule towards Ni(2+) and Co(2+) metal ions has been studied. It is revealed that this ligand exhibits tetradentate with N(2)O(2) core when bound to Ni (II) or Co (II) metal ion. The optical response of azo groups of H(2)L towards Ni(2+), Co(2+), Cu(2+), Pb(2+) and Hg(2+) metal ions has been investigated in DMSO by UV-vis spectroscopy. The absorption spectra of calix[4]arene with cations show marked changes, especially for Co(2+) ion. Furthermore, Job&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s plot indicate 1:1 binding-stiochiometry for calix[4]arene with Co(2+) ion and Benson-Hilderbrand plot is used for the determination of its association constant. The investigation of UV-vis spectra of chromogenic calix[4]arene in different solvents shows that cis-trans isomerization of azo groups probably depends on kind of solvent. Also the different between the polarity and viscosity of organic solvents used is likely responsible for the changes of the band shape of the spectra.

Ten compounds were prepared using a series of silver(I) salts [AgX, where X = NO 3 , ClO 4 , PF 6 and Br], tertiary phosphines and the ligands thiosemicarbazide, 2-(propan-2-ylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide, and thiazolidine-2-thione. The syntheses were carried out under ambient conditions, and the ten complexes obtained were found to be light stable. All 10 compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopy, whereas nine compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The anti-proliferative activities were evaluated by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC: lg/mL) in an aqueous suspension system and they all show promising potential activity against selective strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungous and Mycrobaterium tuberculosis H 37 Rv.

The relevant aspect is that these complexes are water-free in the first coordination sphere. The emission spectra of the tetrakis Tm 3 + -complexes present narrow bands characteristic of the 1 G 4 -3 H 6 (479 nm), 1 G 4 -3 F 4 (650 nm) and 1 G 4 -3 H 5 (779 nm) transitions of the Tm 3 + ion, with the blue emission color at 479 nm as the most prominent one. The lifetime values (t) of the emitting 1 G 4 level of the C[Tm(acac) 4 ] complexes were 344, 360 and 400 ns for the Li + , Na + and K + countercations, respectively, showing an increasing linear behavior versus the ionic radius of the alkaline ion. An efficient intramolecular energy transfer process from the triplet state (T) of the ligands to the emitting 1 G 4 state of the Tm 3 + ion is observed. This fact, together with the absence of water molecules in first coordination sphere, allows these tetrakis Tm 3 + -complexes to act as efficient blue light conversion molecular devices.
