The new one-dimensional polymer [Tb(pzam)3(H2O)Mo(CN)8]•H2O has been synthesized and characterized; magnetic susceptibility data indicate a substantial ferromagnetic superexchange between Tb(III) and Mo(V) via the cyanido bridge, and the occurrence of long- range magnetic ordering between chains at Tc ≈ 1 K.

New complexes with 5(3)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3(5)-methylpyrazole (H2phpz), [Co2(H2phpz)(Hphpz)2(phpz)2]·3CH3CN (1), [Ni(Hphpz)2] (2) and [Cu(Hphpz)2] (3), were synthesized and structurally characterized. The ligand coordinates in the form of 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-methylpyrazole in all cases, except for one ligand in the CoIII complex, where it coordinates in the 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-methylpyrazole mode. Crystallographic analysis revealed that 1 contains

A linear trinuclear copper(II) complex containing phenoxido- and alkoxido-bridges between the metal centers has been isolated and structurally characterized. The complex cation consists of a linear array of three copper ions, assembled by means of two doubly deprotonated ligands. The octahedral coordination sphere of the two peripheral copper(II) ions is completed by weakly bound methanol molecules, and the square-planar central metal ion is located

Iron complexes of two ligands, HphoxCOOH and HphoxiPr, have been synthesized and characterized by crystal structure analyses. The complexes (HNEt3)2[Fe(phoxCOO)2](ClO4) and [Fe(phoxiPr)3] are reported. Reactions of the ligands rac-HphoxCOOH and rac-HphoxiPr with iron(II) or iron(III) perchlorate result in the formation of iron(III) complexes with pseudo-octahedral geometry around the metal center. The iron complex obtained from rac-HphoxCOOH crystallized

The reactions of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide with europium(III) and terbium(III) triflates led to the formation of mononuclear complexes of formula [Ln(pcam)3](CF3SO3)3 (Ln = Eu 1, Tb 2; pcam stands for pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide). From single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, the complexes were found to be isomorphous and isostructural. The [Ln(pcam)3]3+ cations and triflate counterions are connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, resulting

This XXIII biennial meeting will address all areas of fundamental and applied photochemistry and related science. The conference will be of interest to all those involved in using light to initiate and study chemical, physical and biological processes. The conference is co-organized by the German Chemical Society (GDCh) and its photochemistry division http://www.icp2007.net/index.html

The conference will cover developments at the frontiers of green chemistry and sustainable technologies. It will focus on the design, development and implementation of chemical products and processes that reduce or preferably eliminate the use of hazardous substances and the generation of waste while maintaining economic viability. The conference will provide an international forum for scientists and policy makers from industry, academia and government

The reaction of Ln(NO3)3·6H2O with 5-methyl-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid (Hmpca) and K4[W(CN)8]·2H2O has led to the formation of a unique three-dimensional network structure which contains open channels.

With 18 technical symposia, one workshop, an exhibit and much more, the 2007 E-MRS Spring Meeting will offer you both classic and cutting-edge materials, research and product information. http://www.emrs-strasbourg.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=157&Itemid=75

The synthesis and characterization is reported of four new iron(III) complexes, [Fe(L-1)](ClO4) (1), [Fe(L-1)](BF4) (2), [Fe(L-2)](ClO4) (3), [Fe(L-2)](BF4) (4) with the N4O2-donor hexadentate Schiff-base ligands (L-1 = N,N',N '',N'''-1,5,8,12-tetraazadodecane-bis(salicylaldiminato), L-2=N,N',N '',N'''-1,5,8,12-tetraazadodecane-bis(3-methoxysalicylaldiminato)) obtained from salicylaldehyde, or a 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde. The iron(III) complexes have
