An assemblage of a Tb(III) ion and two mononuclear [Zn(II)(L)] complexes as antenna chromophores (H(2)L: Schiff base ligand) afforded a luminescent single-molecule magnet. The f-f emission spectrum had partially resolved fine structure which provides detailed information on the magnetic anisotropy of the (7)F(6) ground multiplet of the Tb(III) ion.

There are many reports that divalent alkaline earth, first-row transition metals, and Zn(II) ions have α-glucosidase inhibitory effects. Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions, in particular, have strong α-glucosidase inhibitory effects. Several Schiff bases also display α-glucosidase inhibitory effects. In this study, we focused on safe and highly effective complexes including Zn(II) ion. We prepared and characterized the Zn(II) complexes with four different Schiff bases (N-salicylidene-β-alanine (Nsβ), N-N'-bis (salicylidene) ethylenediamine (N-bsE), N, N'-bis (salicylidene)-phenylenediamine (NbsP), and 1-[(2-dimethylaminoethylimino) methyl]naphtholate (DMN)) and investigated their α-glucosidase inhibitory effects in vitro, using α-glycosidases from Saccharomyces sp. and rat small intestine, and in vivo, using a sucrose tolerance test. The Zn(II) complexes with DMN showed the highest in vitro and in vivo α-glucosidase inhibitory effects in this study.

Die Isoxazoliumsalze (I) ergeben durch Reduktion mit Natriumborhydrid Gemische aus den 4‐Isoxazolinen (I1), den Borankomplexen (III) und den Ringöffnungsprodukten (IV), die sich durch Chromatographie an Kieselgel voneinander trennen lassen.
