Summary: Many Schiff bases derived from 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole and isatin have been used to form [ML2]Cl2 type Co(II) complexes. Nitrogen from azomethine, oxygen from lactonyl, and nitrogen atoms of the thiazole ring contribute to coordinating the metallic ion. The complexes consist entirely of metal and have a geometrical octahedron structure, as confirmed by analytical, magnetic, and spectroscopic investigations.

Summary: In this study, a new series of Schiff base metal complexes were synthesized and characterized. The thermal stability and photophysical properties of these complexes were investigated. The results showed that the metal ions affected the thermal strength and fluorescence quenching constant of the complexes, with the Cu(II) complex exhibiting the highest thermal strength. Due to their high fluorescence quenching constants, these complexes could be potential active ingredients in anticancer drug transport systems.

Summary: In this study, experimental and computational investigations were conducted on a Schiff base and its metal complexes. The azote atom coordinates with the metal according to the FT-IR spectra. Powder X-ray Diffraction experiments show that the crystalline nature of metal complexes is responsible for their enhanced crystallinity. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that the binding energy of the nitrogen atom's 1s electrons is increased in metal complexes due to complexation. Cyclic voltammograms and DPPH radical scavenging assay demonstrate that transition metal complexes are more effective at scavenging DPPH radicals compared to the free ligand. The theoretical analysis of the investigated complexes provides evidence of the metal's bonding potential in the environment.

Summary: In this study, the synthesis, characterization, and anti-corrosion performance of 2-furaldehyde semi-carbazone Schiff base (FSC) complexes of cobalt (II), zinc (II), and manganese (II) on XC38 carbon steel immersed in 1 M HCl solution were investigated. Experimental investigations and quantum chemical simulation approaches were used. The results showed that these compounds are powerful inhibitors with significant adsorption on the steel surface, providing considerable inhibition. SEM analysis revealed that FSC and its complexes formed a barrier between the inhibitors and the vacant d-orbital of iron on the XC38 carbon steel surface.

Summary: In this study, ONS-donor atom containing Schiff base ligands (1, 2) were utilized to synthesize complexes 1a and 2a. The ligands were prepared using 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and 4-benzoxybenzaldehyde with a precursor in an ethanol medium. Pd(II) complexes (1a, 2a) were then formed by reacting the corresponding [PdCl2(CH3CN)2] with the Schiff base ligands in a 1:1 molar proportion. The molecular structures of the Schiff bases (1, 2) and their Pd(II) complexes (1a, 2a) were characterized using various analytical/spectroscopic techniques. The results demonstrated that the presence of complexes 1a and 2a as catalysts could facilitate Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions, leading to high-yield coupling products.

Summary: Cross-coupling reactions are powerful tools for carbon-carbon bond formation in organic synthesis. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have attracted significant attention. Two new Schiff base-Pd(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The complexes were applied in Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions, showing high yields. Electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on aryl halides can produce coupling products in perfect yield in the presence of these complexes.

Summary: In this study, cetyl alcohol was microencapsulated with titanium-n-butoxide using the coacervation method. The thermal and structural analyses confirmed that cetyl alcohol has phase change material properties. Microencapsulated samples were prepared by adding barite, boron nitride, marble powder, and fly ash. The structural and thermal properties of the microencapsulated PCM and composite-supported microencapsulated PCMs were analyzed using FTIR, DSC, TGA, and SEM devices. The results showed that barite and boron nitride microencapsulated samples exhibited the most suitable structural and thermal properties for thermal energy storage in buildings.
