The crystals may be grouped into four classes: A, [Cu 2 (bpy) 4 (μ-NO 3)][Ln(NO 3) 6 ] (Ln = LaÀ Nd); B, [Cu (bpy) 2 (NO 3)] 2 [Ln(NO 3) 4 (OH 2) 2 ](NO 3) (Ln = SmÀ Dy); C, [Cu (bpy) 2 (NO 3)] 2 [Ln(NO 3) 5 ] (Ln = HoÀ Tm); D, [Cu(bpy) 2 (NO 3)] 2 [Ln (NO 3) 3 (OH 2) 3 ](NO 3) 2 ⋅2H 2 O (Ln = Yb). The coordination numbers of the nitrato or aquonitrato lanthanide anions range from 9 to 12. The dinuclear cation in Class A having a linear monoatomic nitrate bridge is new and is seen to produce weak antiferromagnetic coupling in these compounds. The other classes contain distortion isomers of [Cu(bpy) 2 NO 3 ] +. The structural trends are analysed in terms of lanthanide contraction and non-covalent interactions in the crystals. EPR and electronic spectral characteristics are discussed for the four classes of compounds.

This series demonstrates the role of AE ions in controlling the topology of coordination networks based on the [Ce(dipic)3]3– anion. Compound 1 is a zero-dimensional ionic compound, the crystal structure of compound 2 is based on a mixed four-connected 3D network, compound 3 presents ladder-shaped chains running along a crystallographic axis, and layers of squeezed CeBa6 pentagonal pyramids interconnected by nitrates generate a mixed five- and six-connected network in 4. A thermal analysis showed that all four compounds exhibit reversible water-uptake capacity and the basic nature of the frameworks could be intact up to at least 120 °C.

Ce(dipic) 3 3ion functions as a metallo-ligand by linking the alkali ions. While the lightest alkali ion forms a 2D coordination network (1, n = 6, m = 3), all others form 3D networks (Na: 2, n = 8, m = 7; K: 3, n = 9, m = 3; Rb: 4 and 5, n = 6, m = 2; Cs: 6, n = 6, m = 3). The structure of compound 2 was inferred from the isomorphous NaÀGd compound (7) which formed better quality crystals. Remarkably, both Na and K networks are built around alkali ion-water chains. In the case of the three lighter alkali ions, the lattice water molecules are assembled into water clusters: tetramer (Li); acyclic heptamer (Na); water tape (K). X-ray powder diffraction studies show that the hydrated structures could be regenerated by exposure of the dehydrated samples to moisture in the case of Li, Na and K, but not for Rb and Cs.

It can be executed on an IBM PC compatible. The simplex method was used for least squares fit of a wide range of expressions for various spin systems. The calculated and observed susceptibility data are compared graphically for choosing initial values of unknown parameters and to examine the final fit. The input is given interactively through menus and the output is saved on disk file. Standard deviations of parameters are estimated. SUSCEP.FOR includes the following functions and the expressions resulted by linear combinations among them: (1) Curie law, (2) ions with zero-field splitting term (D) for 1 ⩽ S ⩽ 52, (3) Ising equation, (4) Bleaney-Bower equation, (5) magnetization equation for S = 12dimer, (6) Bonner-Fisher equation, (7) modified Bonner-Fisher equation, (8) dimers with a variety of values for S1 and S2, (9) a few other selected functions from the literature, (10) a constant as a correction term. The program also considers molecular field correction for functions 2–9 and the Weiss constant for the Curie law. It provides a routine for user-specified function which can be modified to user requirements. Also there is provision to add more functions to enhance the capability. The program can handle up to 300 data points and 12 parameters. These limits can be increased if necessary by modifying the array dimensions.

They are formulated as [Cu2(μ-OH2)2(L)2(INH)2(NO3)2](NO3)2 where L = bpy (1), phen (2) and INH = zwitterion of isonicotinic acid. Both the complexes were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements and EPR spectroscopy. The complexes consist a dinuclear cation, [Cu(OH2)2Cu]+4 at its core in which the water molecules function as unsymmetrical bridges between Cu(II) octahedra in the equatorial–axial mode. The variable temperature (3–300 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest weak ferromagnetic coupling in the dicopper(II) cation with 2J = 3.52 and 1.80 cm−1 respectively for 1 and 2. Both compounds give triplet state EPR with similar zero-field splitting parameter, D = 0.034 cm−1 for 1 and 0.038 cm−1 for 2.

Structure based drug discovery approach yielded twenty novel derivatives of benzothiazolylpyrimidine-5-carboxamides (7aet) which were synthesised by three component one pot reaction involving benzothiazolyl oxobutanamide, thiourea and substituted aromatic benzaldehydes. These derivatives were evaluated for antitubercular activity to determine MIC and compound 7a, 7e, 7f and 7o were found to be potentially active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H 37 Rv). Log P of these compounds was found to be between 2.0 and 3.0 making them suitable for oral dosing. DprE1 selectivity and pharmacokinetic studies were carried out for these compounds of which 7a and 7o were found to be highly selective and bioavailability was found to be above 52% by oral dose. Crystal structure of 7a was studied and molecular packing was determined, it exhibited a triclinic crystal lattice arrangement having hydrogen bonded dimeric arrangement. Drug receptor interactions were studied which exhibited docking in the active site of receptor with hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, vdW interactions with amino acid residues such as Cys387, Asn385, Lys418, Tyr314, Gln334 and Lys367 respectively. 3D QSAR analysis was carried out by kNN-MFA method to determine and develop theoretical model, best suitable model was found to be based on Simulated Annealing k-Neariest Neighbour Molecular Field Analysis (SA kNN-MFA). The model provided with hydrophobic descriptors in positive side indicating the need of bulky groups, steric and electronegative descriptors in negative coordinates hints with contribution by the electronegative substitutions as favourable and desirable moieties for enhancing the activity. The q 2 , q 2 _se and Pred_r 2 se were found to be 0.5000, 0.6404 and 1.0094 respectively. A pharmacophore model was generated which suggested for necessity of aromatic, aliphatic carbon centre and hydrogen bond donor for development of newer DprE1 selective inhibitors.

The crystals may be grouped into four classes: A, [Cu 2 (bpy) 4 (μ-NO 3)][Ln(NO 3) 6 ] (Ln = LaÀ Nd); B, [Cu (bpy) 2 (NO 3)] 2 [Ln(NO 3) 4 (OH 2) 2 ](NO 3) (Ln = SmÀ Dy); C, [Cu (bpy) 2 (NO 3)] 2 [Ln(NO 3) 5 ] (Ln = HoÀ Tm); D, [Cu(bpy) 2 (NO 3)] 2 [Ln (NO 3) 3 (OH 2) 3 ](NO 3) 2 ⋅2H 2 O (Ln = Yb). The coordination numbers of the nitrato or aquonitrato lanthanide anions range from 9 to 12. The dinuclear cation in Class A having a linear monoatomic nitrate bridge is new and is seen to produce weak antiferromagnetic coupling in these compounds. The other classes contain distortion isomers of [Cu(bpy) 2 NO 3 ] +. The structural trends are analysed in terms of lanthanide contraction and non-covalent interactions in the crystals. EPR and electronic spectral characteristics are discussed for the four classes of compounds.

Ce(dipic) 3 3ion functions as a metallo-ligand by linking the alkali ions. While the lightest alkali ion forms a 2D coordination network (1, n = 6, m = 3), all others form 3D networks (Na: 2, n = 8, m = 7; K: 3, n = 9, m = 3; Rb: 4 and 5, n = 6, m = 2; Cs: 6, n = 6, m = 3). The structure of compound 2 was inferred from the isomorphous NaÀGd compound (7) which formed better quality crystals. Remarkably, both Na and K networks are built around alkali ion-water chains. In the case of the three lighter alkali ions, the lattice water molecules are assembled into water clusters: tetramer (Li); acyclic heptamer (Na); water tape (K). X-ray powder diffraction studies show that the hydrated structures could be regenerated by exposure of the dehydrated samples to moisture in the case of Li, Na and K, but not for Rb and Cs.
