Pseudotetrahedral Zn(II)-(R or S)-dihalogen-salicylaldiminato complexes with Λ- or Δ-chirality induction at-metal

Reactions of enantiopure (S or R)-N-1-(phenyl)ethyl-2,4-X1,X2-salicylaldimine (S-H or R-H; X1, X2 = dihalogen) with Zn(II)-nitrate give bis[(S or R)-N-1-(phenyl)ethyl-2,4-X1,X2-salicylaldiminato-κ2N,O]-zinc(II), (Δ-ZnS or Λ-ZnR) with Δ/Λ-chirality induction at-metal in the C2-symmetric molecules....

Heteroleptic enantiopure Pd(ii)-complexes derived from halogen-substituted Schiff bases and 2-picolylamine: synthesis, experimental and computational characterization and investigation of the influence of chirality and halogen atoms on the anticancer activity

To investigate the effect of chirality and different halogen substituents on the anticancer activity, seven enantiomeric pairs of palladium complexes were synthesized and characterized.

Schiff base ligands derived from 1,2-bis(2′-nitro-/amino-phenoxy)-3-R-benzene and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and their Cu/Zn(ii) complexes: synthesis, characterization, X-ray structures and computational studies

Racemic crystals of Cu/Zn(ii)-tetradentate Schiff base ligands with Λ/Δ-chirality induction at-metal center.

A Cu/Zn heterometallic complex with solvent-binding cavity, catalytic activity for the oxidation of 1-phenylethanol and unusual magnetic properties

Mononuclear and polymeric complexes of zinc(ii) and copper(ii) have been synthesized using two isomers of the hemi-salen ligand with a different mutual orientation of donor atoms. The heterometallic Cu/Zn metallocycle features a catalytic niche filled with the molecule of water and molecules of methanol. This unusual compound exhibits both pronounced catalytic activity in the reaction of oxidation of a secondary alcohol to ketone and field induced slow magnetic relaxation, which is a very rare phenomenon among Cu(ii) complexes.

A series of helical coordination polymers based on two racemic bis(pyridylmethylene) propane-1,2-diamine ligands: relationship of conformations, structures and properties

The self-assembly of d¹⁰ metal salts and two racemic bis(pyridyl) diamine ligands generates ten complexes, showing diverse helical and wavelike chains, (4,4) layers, as well as 3D sqc and uog nets.

Molecular tectonics: enantiomerically pure chiral crystals based on trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol

Enantiomerically pure trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol ((R,R) or (S,S)) based organic ligands act self-complementary units. In addition, their coordination behavior towards Cd²⁺ cation in the presence of N donor ancillary ligand was investigated.
