Reaction of the dimeric rhodium complex [{(η5-C5Me5)Rh(μ-Cl)Cl}2] with an excess of 1-(4-cyanophenyl)-imidazole in dichloromethane afforded neutral mononuclear complex [(η5-C5Me5)RhCl2(CPI)] (CPI = 1-(4-cyanophenyl)-imidazole) 1. The complex 1 reacted with EPh3 (E = P, As, Sb) and N–N donor ...

Tocopherols (TOH) are lipophilic antioxidants which require the phenolic OH group for their redox activity. In contrast, non-redox active esters of α-TOH with succinate (α-TOS) were shown to possess proapoptotic activity in cancer cells. It was suggested that this activity is mediated via mito...

The antioxidant activity of vitamin E (VE) homologs α, γ and δ-tocotrienamines (4b–6b), never studied before, and α, γ and δ-tocopheramines (4a–7a) was investigated by means of different total antioxidant capacity (TAC) tests. In all the test model systems, compounds 4a–7a and 4b–6b sh...

The title compound has been obtained in considerable yield by reacting Ru3(CO)12 with 2-pentynal-diethyl-acetal [CH3CH2CCC(H)(OEt)2] (PDA) in hydrocarbon solvents. The X-ray analysis shows that the title complex belongs to the well known family of the flyover derivatives. Some X-ray structural s...

This work presents a new formula to calculate the surface tension of alcohols.As a first step, an analysis of the data available on the surface tension of alcohols was made. A total of 2121 data were collected for n-alcohols, aromatic alcohols, cycloaliphatic alcohols, 2-alkanols and methyl alka...

An Artificial Neural Network model is proposed for the calculation and prediction of the surface tension of alcohols. A total amount of 4316 data for 147 alcohols was used for training, validating and testing the network model. After considering different architectures, the one giving better res...

Three 1D-coordination networks namely {[Ln(L)(DMF)(H2O)]·DMF}n. represented as EuL, GdL and TbL were obtained using the synthetized 4,4′,4″-((benzene-1,3,5-triyltris(methylene))tris(oxy))tribenzoic acid (H3L) as a ligand and lanthanide nitrate salts (Ln(NO3)3) (Ln = EuIII, GdIII or TbIII). Th...

Novel hybrids N-(4-phenoxybenzyl)aniline were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their potential AChE inhibitory activity along with antioxidant potential. The inhibitory potential (IC50) of synthesized analogs was evaluated against human cholinesterases (hAChE and hBChE) using Ellman’s m...

5‐Methyl‐2‐[(4‐methyl‐2‐nitrophenyl)amino]‐3‐thiophenecarbonitrile is an example of conformational and color polymorphism. The compound crystallizes in red (R), dark red (DR), light red (LR), and orange (O) modifications. There are two specific goals for this study. One is to characteriz...

An investigation of absorption and fluorescence behaviour of 6-amino-3-methyl-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carbonitrile (NDPPC) at room temperature was carried out using a series of twelve organic solvents with different polarities. Ground and excited state dipole moments...

Present work describes the corrosion inhibition efficiency of 2-amino-3-methyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(phenylthio)-3H-pyrrole-4-carbonitrile (INH) on mild steel in 1M HCl using weight loss, electrochemical, surface and molecular dynamics simulation methods. The weight loss results show that inhibit...

ABSTRACTSolid–solid transformation of 5-methyl-2-[(4-methyl-2-nitrophenyl)amino]-3-thiophenecarbonitrile from the dark-red to the red form was investigated. By controlled crystallization, the dark-red form was prepared and the crystals were sieved into fractions: coarse (>250 µm), medium (125–...

The hydrothermal reaction of NaN3, acetonitrile and KSCN in the presence of [Cu(CH3CN)4]ClO4 yields two new d10 coordination polymers, [Cu2(μ3-SCN)(μ4-mtta)]n (1) and its supramolecular isomer [Cu2(μ4-SCN)(μ4-mtta)]n (2) (mtta = 5-methyl tetrazolate), involving in situ formation of the 5-met...

The new copper(I) coordination polymers poly[(di-μ2-thiocyanato-N,S)-(μ2-2,5-dimethylpyrazine-N,N)] dicopper(I) (I) and poly[di-μ2-thiocyanato-N,S)-(μ2-2,3-dimethyl-pyrazine-N,N)] dicopper(I) (II) were prepared by the reaction of copper(I) thiocyanate with 2,3- and 2,5-dimethylpyrazine in ac...

Copper(II) thiocyanate forms a series of closely related complexes when reacted with substituted pyridines (XPy) in methanol. Although these compounds are nominally square planar trans-[Cu(NCS)2(XPy)2], most show N,S-thiocyanate bridging via long Cu–S bonds of ⩾2.7 Å. The resulting Jahn-Teller ...

We report here the all-solution-processed, high-efficiency quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED) employing inorganic copper (I) thiocyanate (CuSCN) as hole injection layer. In comparison with the widely used injection material of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT...
