Structure-dependent spectroscopic and redox properties of copper(I) complexes with bidentate iminopyridine ligands

Dichlorido[2-(phenyliminomethyl)quinoline-N,N′]palladium(II)

“…For related structures, see: Motswainyana et al (2011); Massa & Dehghampour (2009) ;Keter et al (2008); Singh et al (2007); Doherty et al (2002).…”

“…The transition metal-diimine ligands are well known and have been used extensively as catalyst stabilisers in many reported catalytic processes Massa et al, 2009;Tiangpengfei et al, 2011;Ardizzoia et al, 2009). Several of these complexes, besides being heavily utilized in the catalytic field, equally double up as therapeutic agents (Keter et al, 2008;Singh et al, 2007).…”

Cd(II) and Zn(II) Complexes Containing N,N'-Bidentate N-(Pyridin-2-ylmethylene)cyclopentanamine: Synthesis, Characterisation and Methyl Methacrylate Polymerisation

“…Transition metal complexes containing ancillary ligands, pyridyl-imines and N-substituted 2-iminoalkylpyridines have been applied for synthetic, spectroscopic and kinetic studies, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] photoluminescence and photochemistry, 11 as catalysts for organic transformation, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] electrochemistry, [19][20][21] bioinorganic chemistry, 22,23 supramolecular chemistry, 24,25 molecular magnetism [26][27][28][29] and olefin polymerisation. [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] In contrast, poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) is a universal polymer with optical applications.…”

“…Although the ligand impy has been applied to rhenium, copper, palladium and platinum complexes, rhenium and copper complexes did not utilized as catalyst for MMA polymerisation. 4,54,55 Previously, we reported the palladium and platinum complexes with N-cyclopentyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine (impy), in which Pd(II) complex demonstrated a very high activity for MMA polymerisation. 54 Thus, we have prepared zinc and cadmium complexes containing the impy to get the higher activity than Pd(II) complexes for the MMA polymerisation.…”

Spectroscopic characterization of schiff base-copper complexes immobilized in smectite clays

“…10 When reduced to copper(I) state they can additionally provide long-lived electronically excited states, and exhibit intense luminescence. [11][12][13] The redox potential of acyclic and macrocyclic Schiff base complexes has deserved a strong interest since it seems to be directly related to some of the biologically important properties of this type of compounds. Mostly, Schiff-base copper complexes have been intensively investigated as enzyme mimics by their dioxygen binding ability, and catalytic activity in oxidative processes.…”
