A fire sometimes ignited an organic solvent in a chemical laboratory. A mechanochemical synthesis may be a good way to reduce the amount of organic solvents or without organic solvents compared to conventional synthesis in solutions. The solvent affected the product, namely solvent methanol acted as a ligand, although the quality of the data of X-ray crystallography is usually difficult to report in a strict research article in the case of our Azo-Schiff base metal complexes. Thus substitution of synthesis methods associated with potentially dangerous organic solvents may be possible depending on the application or purpose.

AbstractTreatment of [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2]2 with one equivalent of chlorodiphenylphosphine in tetrahydrofuran at reflux afforded a neutral complex [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2(κ1-P-PPh2OH)] (1). Similarly, the reaction of [Ru(bpy)2Cl2·2H2O] (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) and chlorodiphenylphosphine in methanol gave a cationic complex [Ru(bpy)2Cl(κ1-P-PPh2OCH3)](PF6) (2), while treatment of [RuCl2(PPh3)3] with [2-(C5H4N)CH=N(CH2)2N(CH3)2] (L1) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature afforded a ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(PPh3)Cl2(κ3-N,N,N-L1)] (3). Interaction of the chloro-bridged complex [Ru(CO)2Cl2]n with one equivalent of [Ph2P(o-C6H4)CH=N(CH2)2N(CH3)2] (L2) led to the isolation of [Ru(CO)Cl2(κ3-P,N,N-L2)] (4). The molecular structures of the ruthenium(II) complexes 1–4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The properties of the ruthenium(II) complex 4 as a hydrogenation catalyst for acetophenone were also tested.

( E)-4-[2-(Pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]benzaldehyde, containing both a 4-vinylpyridine and an aldehyde functionality, is utilized to develop new, highly conjugated chalcone compounds and a bis-Schiff base azine compound. The chalcone-containing compounds are further explored for their protonation, methylation and silver(I) coordination chemistry using the pyridine moiety. In parallel, a cyano-containing analogue, ( E)-4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]benzonitrile is also synthesized and studied for its silver(I) coordination chemistry. These new compounds are fully characterized by mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques. The methylated product of ( E)-1-(9-anthryl)-3-{4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]phenyl}prop-2-en-1-one and a silver complex of ( E)-4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]benzonitrile are structurally determined by X-ray crystallography.

AbstractSynthesis and structural characterization of two heterodinuclear ZnII-LnIII complexes with the formula [ZnLn(HL)(µ-OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)x(MeOH)1-x]NO3 · n H2O · n MeOH [Ln = Pr (1), Nd (2)] and the crystal and molecular structure of [ZnNd(HL)(µ-OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)] [ZnNd(HL)(OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)](NO3)2 · n H2O · n MeOH (3) are reported. The asymmetrical compartmental ligand (E)-2-(1-(2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)-ethyl)imidazolidin-2-yl)-6-methoxyphenol (H2L) is formed from N1,N3-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine (H2valdien) through intramolecular aminal formation, resulting in a peripheral imidazoline ring. The structures of 1–3 were revealed by X-ray crystallography. The smaller ZnII ion occupies the inner N2O2 compartment of the ligand, whereas the larger and more oxophilic LnIII ions are found in the outer O2O2’ site. Graphic Abstract Synthesis and structural characterization of two heterodinuclear ZnII-LnIII complexes (Ln = Pr, Nd) bearing an asymmetrical compartmental ligand formed in situ from N1,N3-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine (H2valdien) through intramolecular aminal formation are reported.

Description: Design methods of nanoparticle formulations are divided into break-down methods and build-up methods. The former is further divided into dry and wet processes. For drug nanoparticle preparations, the wet process is generally employed, and organic solvents are used in most formulations. Method: In this study, we investigate the preparation of nifedipine (IB) and griseofulvin (GF) nanoparticles without using organic solvent. Both IB and GF nanoparticles, with a mean particle size of approximately 50 nm, were prepared without organic solvent by employing a combination of roll milling and high-pressure homogenization. Result: The X-ray diffraction peak of the IB and GF samples prepared by roll milling was present at a position (2θ) identical to that of IB and GF crystals, indicating that no peak shift was induced by interaction with phospholipids. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that most IB and GF nanoparticles exist as crystals in phospholipids.

A series of complexes of the type trans-[Co((BA)2en)(amine)2]ClO4 — where (BA)2en is the bis(benzoylacetone)ethylenediimine dianion and the amines are morpholine (mrpln) 1, aniline (aniln) 2, benzylamine (bzlan) 3, piperidine (pprdn) 4, p-toluidine (p-toldn) 5, and pyrrolidine (prldn) 6 — has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV–vis, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structure of trans-[Co((BA)2en)(mrpln)2]ClO4 (1) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical reduction of these complexes at a glassy-carbon electrode, in the potential range of 0.5 to –2.0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), in acetonitrile solution, indicates that the first reduction potential of Co(III/II) is irreversible, which is accompanied by the dissociation of the axial amine–cobalt bonds. This potential is dependent on the pKa of the axial amines. The second reduction potential of Co(II/I) shows reversible behavior and is also independent of the axial amine pKa. These results indicate the loss of the axial amines in the first redox process and the involvement of a four-coordinate species in the second redox step.Key words: Schiff base, cobalt(III), axial amine, electrochemical properties, crystal structure.
