The synthesis and electronic as well as redox properties of four Ru(Ⅱ) complexes based on the ligand 4'-(4-pyridyl)-3,3';5',3"-bis-dimethylene-2,2';6',2"-terpyridine are reported. Each new complex is of the type [Ru(L)2]n+ and [Ru(tpy)(L)]n+, where L is the terdentate ligand with extra pyridine ring at 4'-position or is a N-methylated ligand and n=2, 3, or 4. Cyclic voltammetry indicates that the first electron added to the complex enters the viologen-type acceptor in N-methylated ligand.

The synthesis and antimicrobial activity of N-substituted glycol derivatives of Norfloxacin were described. Norfloxacin was treated with chloroacetyl chloride to yield chloroacetyl norfloxacin (1). This compounds was reacted with alkyldiamines to afford bivalent ligand quinolone carboxylic acids (2-6), which was added to pivaloyloxymethyl chloride to give bivalent ligand pivaloyloxymethyl quinolone carboxylates (7-11). Chloroacetyl norfloxacin (1) treated with alkylamines to obtain monovalent ligand quinolone carboxylic acids (12-15), which was reacted with pivaloyloxymethyl chloride to get monovalent ligand pivaloyloxymethyl quinolone carboxylates (16-19). Free carboxylic quinolones (2-6, 12-15) showed little stronger activities to their pivaloyloxymethyl esters (7-11, 16-19). In monovalent ligand quinolone analogues, longer a1kyl chain com-pounds showed stronger activities than shorter one.

A long, bis(monodentate), linking Schiff-base ligand L (py-CH=N-$C_6H_4$-N=CH-py) was prepared from 1,4-phenylenediamine and 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde by the Schiff-base condensation. Ligand L has two terminal pyridyl groups capable of coordinating to metals through their nitrogen atoms. In contrast, the same reaction between 1,2-phenylenediamine and 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde produced a mixture of imidazol isomers (2-pyridin-3-yl-1H-benzoimidazole), which are connected to one another by the N-H…N hydrogen bonding to form a tetramer. From Zn($NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ and ligand L under various conditions, one discrete molecule, trans- [Zn($H_2O)_4L_2]{\cdot}(NO_3)_2{\cdot}(MeOH)_2$, and two 1-D zinc polymers, [Zn$(NO_3)(H_2O)_2(L)]{\cdot}(NO_3){\cdot}(H_2O)_2$ and [Zn(L) (OBC)($H_2O$)], were prepared. In ligand L, the N$\ldots$N separation between the terminal pyridyl groups is 13.994 $\AA$, with their nitrogen atoms at the meta positions (3,3’) in a trans manner. The corresponding N$\ldots$N separations in its compounds range from 13.853 to 14.754 $\AA$.

CD95 receptor is a member of tumor necrosis factor receptor family that mediates apoptosis in many cell types when bound by CD95 ligand or cross-linked by agonistic anti-CD95 antibodies. To determine the role of neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase) on CD95-mediatd apoptosis, human Jurkat T lymphocytes were exposed to recombinant human CD95 ligand. Treatment with CD95 ligand induced cell death in a concentration and time-dependent manner. CD95-induced cell death was suppressed by inhibitors of SMase such as AY9944 or desipramine. Transfection with human nSMase1 siRNA plasmid into CD95 ligand-treated cells significantly prevented CD95-mediated cell death. CD95-mediated elevation of intracellular ceramide level detected by FACS analysis with anti-ceramide antibody was also decreased by nSMase1 siRNA. Knock-down of nSMase1 expression also blocked cytochrome c release into cytosol and caspase-3 cleavage in CD95-treated cells. Taken together, these results suggest that nSMase1 may play an important role in CD95-mediated apoptotic cell death in Jurkat T cells.

A novel polyaminopolycarboxylate ligand with many coordination sites, N,N,$N^1,N^1,N^2,N^2$-[( 2,4,6-tri(aminomethyl)-pyridine]hexakis(acetic acid) (TPHA), was designed and synthesized and its lanthanide complexes $Na_6Tb_2$(TPHA)$Cl_6{\cdot}14H_2O$, $Na_6Eu_2$(TPHA)$Cl_6{\cdot}8H_2O$, $Na_6Gd_2$(TPHA)$Cl_6{\cdot}11H_2O$ and $Na_6Sm_2$(TPHA)$Cl_6{\cdot}9H_2O$ were successfully prepared. The ligand and the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, mass, NMR and TG-DTA. The TG-DTA studies indicated that the complexes had a high thermal stability, whose initial decomposition temperature was over $270^{\circ}C$. The luminescence properties of the complexes in solid state were investigated and the results suggested that $Tb^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions could be sensitized efficiently by the ligand, especially the Tb(III) complex displayed a very strong luminescence intensity (> 10000) and only displayed characteristic metal-centered luminescence. Also, the correlative comparison between the structure of ligand and luminescence properties showed how the number of the coordination atoms of ligand can be a prominent factor in the effectiveness of ligand-to-metal energy transfer.

The electronic absorption spectra of trans-$[CrX_2([15]aneN_4)]ClO_4\;([15]aneN_4$=1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclopentadecane; X=F, Cl) complexes have been interpreted using the ligand field theory. An AOMX program is used to optimize the differences between the calculated and the observed positions for the spin-allowed transition bands. The crystal field theory(CFT) parameter is directly related to the angular overlap model(AOM), normalized spherical harmonic hamiltonians(NSH), and semiempirical parameters. The various ligand field parameters are discussed in terms of their chemical significances. According to the ligand field analysis, we can confirm that the fluoride ligand is a very strong ${\sigma}-$ and ${\pi}-$donor while the chloride has weak ${\sigma}-$ and ${\pi}-$donor properties toward chromium(III) ion.

The electrochemistry and valence tautomerism of CoⅢ(N-N)(SQ)(Cat), [N-N=N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA); SQ=3,5- or 3,6-di-tert-butyl-semiquinone, Cat=3,5- or 3,6-di-tert-butyl-catechol], have been investigated by spectroscopic, electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical methods in nonaqueous solvents under anaerobic condition. The transition temperature between tautomers is dependent upon the donation effect of substituted quinone ligand and solvent. It increases with the increase of donation effect of solvent and quinone ligand. CoⅢ(TMEDA)(SQ)(Cat) is reduced to [CoⅡ(TMEDA)(SQ)(Cat)]-, and then reduces to [CoⅡ(TMEDA)(Cat)2]2-. CoⅢ(TMEDA)(SQ)(Cat) is oxidized to [CoⅢ(TMEDA)(SQ)2]+, but the stability of the oxidized form in DMF is dependent upon the solution temperature. With the increase of solution temperatrue the oxidized form may be converted to [CoⅡ(TMEDA)(SQ)(BQ)]+ by intramolecular electron transfer from SQ ligand to CoⅢ.

The tridentate schiff base ligand, salicyliden amino-o-hydroxy benzene, has derived from salicylaldehyde and o-amino phenol. This ligand reacts with a series of Mo (VI), Mo (V), Mo (IV), and Mo (III) oxidated states and forms a new complexes; [Mo O$_2(H_2O)\;(C_{13}H_9O_2N)]$, [MoO Cl$(H_2O)\;(C_{13}H_9O_2N)]$, [Mo(SCN)$_2(H_2O)\;(C_{13}H_9O2_N)]$ 및 $[Mo(H_2O)_2\;(C_{13}H_9O_2N)]_2O$. The Mo (VI), Mo(V) and Mo(Ⅳ) ions in these complexes are octahedron, hexa coordinate, and the mole ratio of these ions to the ligand are 1 : 1, but Mo (III) Complex is a Mo-O-Mo oxygen bridge bond and polynuclear, and the mole ratio of Mo (III) to the ligand 1 : 1 above facts are identified from the data of Infrared spectra, visible spectra, and elemental analysis.
