Two novel bidimensional coordination polymers, [Co(azbbpy)(4,4'-bipy)0.5(DMF)(NCS)2]·MeOH (1) and [Co(azbbpy)(bpe)0.5(DMF)(NCS)2]·0.25H2O (2), resulted from the assembling of cobalt(II) ions by 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)azulene, using either 4,4'-bipyridyl or 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene as neutral spacers. The nodes in 1 2 act single-ion magnets (SIMs).

A facile and feasible protocol for synthesis of functionalized reduced graphene oxide decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNP/rGO) in mild reaction conditions has been successfully developed. Starting from graphite, the following routes were developed: (1) preparation graphite oxide; (2) (GO) a compatible polymer; (3) (final compound). The surface morphology as-prepared AuNP/rGO was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) specific area determined BET method, while structural...

High catalytic activity and selectivity has been demonstrated for the oxidation of both aliphatic aromatic amines to nitriles under benign conditions with dioxygen or air using Ru2Cl4(az-tpy)2 complex. The conversion was found be strongly influenced by alkyl chain length reactant shorter have lower conversions than those longer chains. Importantly, ruthenium terpyridine complex functionalized azulenyl moiety at 4 position central pyridine core provided a much higher reactivity catalyst...

4′-Azulenyl-substituted terpyridines were efficiently synthesized following the Kröhnke methodology via azulenylchalcone intermediates. These azulenyl-containing showed fluorescent emission with a fluorescence quantum yield varying from 0.14, in case of parent terpyridine, to 0.64 when methyl groups are grafted on azulenyl seven-membered ring. According crystal structures and TDDFT calculations, different twisting aromatic constituents is responsible for observed behavior. The...
