As expected, both molecular structures of 1 and 2 adopt a trans configuration about the central C=N double bond. 2 is an ionic compound with the protonation at N（1） of pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde-4- aminoantipyrine.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and DNA-Binding Property of a Mn(Ⅱ) Complex Based on 5-(Tri-fluoromethyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic Acid

A new complex Mn(Htpc)2(H2O)2(1, Htpc = 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TG and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 belongs to triclinic system, space group P■ with a = 5.0885(10), b = 6.5574(13), c = 14.016(3) ?, β = 90.67(3)o, V = 436.34(17) ?3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.793 g·cm-3, μ = 0.855 mm-1, Mr = 471.18, F(000) = 235, the final R = 0.0454 and wR = 0.1134 for 1998 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The Mn(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated by two N and two O atoms from two Htpc as well as two O atoms from two coordinated water molecules, forming a 0D motif with distorted octahedral coordinate geometry. The adjacent 0D units are linked into 1D chains through hydrogen bond O(1W)–H(1 WB)···O(2), and via the O(1 W)–H(1 WA)···O(1) hydrogen bond the neighboring 1D chains are connected into a 2D supramolecular layer. Moreover, the interactions between the ligand and its complex with CT-DNA were studied by EtBr fluorescence probe, which suggested that these compounds bind to CT-DNA through an intercalation mode. The binding constants were 0.41 and 0.64 for Htpc and complex 1, respectively. It indicates that the interaction between complex 1 and CT-DNA is stronger than Htpc.

Synthesis and fluorescence properties of Tb(Ⅲ) complexes with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid derivatives

Two novel ligands named 4-styrylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (4-SPDA) and 4-(4-(2-(2, 6-dicarboxypyridin-4-yl)- vinyl)styryl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid(DSPDA) and their complexes with Tb(Ⅲ) were synthesized and characterized by infrared spectrometry, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, elemental analysis and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry. The ligand synthetic route was optimized. The fluorescence properties of the complex in solid state, in different kind of solvents and in solutions with different pH values were investigated in detail. The results show that the yields of DSPDA and 4-SPDA reach over 78% by Wittig-Horner reaction and other eight pyridine-2, 6-dicarboxylic acid derivatives with different substituents on pyridine ring, and their complexes with Tb(Ⅲ) are also obtained. The fluorescence intensities of the complexes with electron-donating groups are more intense than those of the complexes with electron-withdrawing groups on pyridine ring; fluorescence intensities of the complexes are the strongest in neutral solution (pH=7), and the less the dipole moment of solvent molecule is, the stronger the fluorescence intensity is. It is found that the two ligands (4-APDA and DSPDA) are the good sensitizers for Tb(Ⅲ) ion.

Influence of surfactant concentration on counter-ion induced solubility of poly(pyridine-2,5-diyl)

Protonating the pyridine rings of poly(pyridine-2,5-diyl) with dodecybenzenesulfonic acid and camphorsulphonic acid produces polymer materials which can be dissolved in chloroform (in contrast to the unprotonated polymer, which can only be dissolved in strong acids such as formic acid) and allows mixing the protonated polymers with other chloroform soluble conju- gated polymers for use in electronic devices. The protonating behavior of poly(pyridine-2,5-diyl) with two kinds of surfactants is different in some levels. Dodecybenzenesulfonic acid has higher protonating ability than camphorsulphonic acid.

Polymerization of 1,3-Butadiene Catalyzed by Cobalt(Ⅱ) and Nickel(Ⅱ) Complexes Bearing Pyridine-2-imidate Ligands

Cobalt and nickel complexes （la-ld and 2a-2d, respectively） supported by 2-imidate-pyridine ligands were synthesized and used for 1,3-butadiene polymerization. The complexes were characterized by IR and element analysis, and complex la was further characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The solid state structure of complex la displayed a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Upon activation with ethylaluminum sesquichloride （EASC）, all the complexes showed high activities toward 1,3-butadiene polymerization. The cobalt complexes produced polymers with high cis-1,4 contents and high molecular weights, while the nickel complexes displayed low cis-l,4 selectivity and the resulting polymers had low molecular weights. The catalytic activities of the complexes highly depended on the ligand structure. With the increment of polymerization temperature, the cis-1,4 content and the molecular weight of the resulting polymer decreased.

Relationship between Coordination Structure and Biological Activity of Copper(II) Nicotinate

The copper（Ⅱ） complexes of pyridine-3-carboxylic acid （nicotinic acid） and pyridine-2-carboxylic acid （isonicotinic acid） were synthesized, and their structures were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectrum, powder X-ray diffraction and so on. The results show that under experimental conditions, the ligands of synthesized copper nicotinate and copper isonicotinate are coordinated simultaneity with copper（Ⅱ） via the nitrogen of pyridine group and an oxygen of carboxylic acid group to form bidentate chelates. The crystal of copper nicotinate with two six-membered chelate rings belongs to monoclinic system, while that of copper isonicotinate having two five-membered chelate rings is of triclinic system. The tests show that the biological activities, such as the improvement of feed utilization, growth, anti-oxidation ability of organism and disease-resistant power, are different when copper nicotinate, copper inicotinate, copper-lysine chelate, copper-methionine chelate and copper sulphate are added in pig＇s feed, respectively. Due to its higher biological activity, less pollution and lower toxicity, copper nicotinate has wide potential applications as a feed additive.

The proposed technique to synthesise poly {（2,5-diyl pyrrole）（2-pyrrolyl methine）}（PPPM） copolymer by condensation of pyrrole and pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde monomers catalyzed by Maghnite-H＋ is introduced.The protons are exchanged with Maghnite-H＋, which is available in the form of a montmorillonite silicate clay sheet. The effect of several parameters such as time and temperature of copolymerization, [pyrrole]/[pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde] molar ratio, amount of Maghnite-H＋, and solvent on the produced poly（2,5-diyl pyrrole-2-pyrrolyl methine） semiconductor copolymer material（yield%） was investigated.

Also, the synthesized copolymer is more soluble than polypyrrole in most of the commonly used organic solvents. Hence, copolymerization of pyrrole with pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde will overcome the insolubility of polypyrrole. In addition, the resultant copolymer exhibits good film formability. The produced copolymer has several potential applications in the field of rechargeable batteries, sensors, capacitors, light emitting diodes, optical displays, and solar cells.
