Synthesis and characterization of six new Schiff's bases, potential hexadentate ligands, containing amide groups and pyridine rings with shallow structures are described. The two step reactions involving ring opening of isatoic anhydride with diamines followed by condensation with pyridine aldehydes proceed smoothly to give Schiff's bases containing pyridine rings in high purity and better yields.
Complexes of iron(III), ruthenium(III) and rhodium(III) with three new tetraaza macrocyclic ligands, oxo4bzo3[14]triene-N4 [TBTAC14Tone], oxo4bzo2[14]diene-N4 [DBTAC14Tone] and oxo4bzo2[15]diene-N4 [DBTAC15Tone] have been prepared and characterised. The complexes are found to have the formulae [FeLCl2]Cl. 2H2O, [RuLCl2]Cl. 3H2O and [RhLCl2]Cl. 2H2O. The cations adopt a trans-dichloro configuration with the six-coordinated trivalent metal ions in a pseudo-octahedral geometry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
