Careful evaluation of the corresponding aminopyridine manganese complexes in asymmetric epoxidation of olefins revealed a broad substrate scope in the presence of 0.2 mol% manganese complex and 0.5 equiv. 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid, with aqueous hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. A variety of olefins including styrenes, chromenes, and cinnamamides were transformed successfully into the target epoxides with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity（yield up to 95%, ee up to 99%）.展开更多

The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 7.4490（15）, b = 8.2650（17）, c = 27.615（6） A°, β= 101.69（3）°, V = 1664.9（6）A°^3, Z = 4, Mr = 357.70, Dc = 1.427 g/cm^3, F（000） = 744, μ = 1.493 mm^-1, R = 0.0309 and wR = 0.0771. The Zn（Ⅱ） is coordinated by one nitrogen atom from 2-aminopyridine and four oxygen atoms from two acetylacetone anions to furnish a distorted square pyramid geometry. The complex forms a three-dimensional network through intermolecular hydrogen bonds.展开更多

It was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared, and elemental analysis. Density Functional Theory calculations were performed in order to gain insights into the role of weak molecular interactions in the complex that influence the self-assembly process and crystal packing. X---H (X = H, C, N and S) inter-actions. S-H interactions (30.2%) were found to be the main interactions that hold the molecules in the crystal structure. Furthermore, the thermolysis of the complex was studied in order to evaluate whether it was suitable as a precursor for zinc sulphide.展开更多

The quantum mechanical and chemical reactivity parameters such as chemical hardness, chemical potential, electronegativity, electrophilicity index and Homo-Lumo energy gap were obtained theoretically and were used to understand the biological activity of the prepared compounds. Some complexes were tested for their in-vitro cytotoxic activity in human lung cancer cell lines (A-549 cell line), and structureactivity relationships were established. In general, the coordination to Co<sup>2+</sup> increased the cytotoxicity while the Ni<sup>2+</sup> complexes show reduced cytotoxic activity compared to the metal-free 3-aminopyridine.展开更多
