Mono- and binuclear VO(IV), Ce(III), Th(IV) and UO(2)(VI) complexes of thiosemicarbazone, semicarbazone and thiocarbohydrazone ligands derived from 4,6-diacetylresorcinol were synthesized. The structures of these complexes were elucidated by elemental analyses, IR, UV-vis, ESR, (1)H NMR and mass spectra as well

In this study, a new chitosan derivative (ketimine) was synthesized by condensation of chitosan with 4,6-diacetylresorcinol (DAR) at heterogeneous medium. The ketimine derivative of chitosan (DAR-chitosan) was characterized by elemental (C, H, N), spectral (DR-UV-vis and FT-IR spectroscopy), structural (powder

Potentially hexadentante [O(-),N,E:E,N,O(-)] chalcogenated bisimine ligands L1-L3 have been synthesized by reaction of 1,1'-(4,6-dihydroxy-1,3-phenylene)bisethanone with H2N(CH2)2SPh, H2N(CH2)2SePh and H2N(CH2)2TeC6H4-4-OMe respectively. The L1-L3 react with Na2PdCl4 resulting in their partial hydrolysis, which appears to be metal-promoted. Of the two [(CH3)CN(CH2)2EAr] fragments
