Abstract

The noninnocent ligand H2LAP(Ph) contained a bulky phenyl substituent at the ortho position to the aniline moiety. The ligand reacted with 0.5 equiv of CuCl2·2H2O in the presence of Et3N under air and provided the corresponding Cu(II)-bis(imonosemiquinone) complex (1). The complex upon oxidation by a stoichiometric amount of ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate (FcPF6) yielded the four-coordinate [Cu(II)-(imonosemiquinone)(iminoquinone)]PF6 complex (3), while the oxidation by an equivalent amount of CuCl2·2H2O produced the five-coordinate Cu(I)-bis(iminoquinone)Cl complex (2). Thus, a ligand-based oxidation followed by ligand-to-metal electron-transfer was realized for the latter oxidation process. Removal of the Cl- ion from complex 2 rendered the four-coordinate complex 4. The oxidation state of both Cu(I) and iminoquinone moieties remained unaltered upon the change in the coordination number. All the complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography. Complexes 2, 3, and 4 were diamagnetic with an St = 0 ground state as evident by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and 1H NMR measurements. The UV-vis-NIR spectra of all the complexes were dominated by charge-transfer transitions. Two oxidations and two reductions waves were ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
