TL;DR: The two macrocyclic ligands H 2 L 1 and L 2 L 2 are not very different, but their Fe II Fe III complexes are remarkably so as discussed by the authors, and the difference in properties of these complexes is also reflected in their electronic spectra, in their electrochemical and magnetic behavior, and in their structures.
Abstract: The two macrocyclic ligands H 2 L 1 and H 2 L 2 are not very different, but their Fe II Fe III complexes are remarkably so. [L 1 Fe 2 (μ-OAc) 2 ](ClO 4 ) is valence-delocalized on the Mossbauer time scale over the range 1.8-364 K, whereas [L 2 Fe 2 (μ-OAc)(OAc)(H 2 O)](ClO 4 )·2H 2 O is valence-trapped even at room temperature. The difference in properties of these complexes is also reflected in their electronic spectra, in their electrochemical and magnetic behavior, and in their structures.

TL;DR: In this article, a phenyl functionalized 2D-hexagonal mesoporous silica material has been synthesized by cationic/non-ionic mixed surfactant templating route.
Abstract: Phenyl functionalized 2D-hexagonal mesoporous silica material has been synthesized by cationic/non-ionic mixed surfactant templating route. The phenyl group of this mesoporous material is further functionalized via nitration and then reduction of that nitro group to amino functionality, followed by Schiff base condensation and heterogenization of a palladium(II) complex, yielded an ortho-metalated palladium(II) complex anchored in a ordered mesoporous silica matrix. This supported metal complex acts as an efficient catalyst in the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction and shows high selectivity for the bi-aryl products.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the nonlinear optical switching and optical limiting of cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) using nanosecond Z-scan measurement.
Abstract: The semiconductor nanocrystals are found to be promising class of third order nonlinear optical materials because of quantum confinement effects. Here, we highlight the nonlinear optical switching and optical limiting of cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) using nanosecond Z-scan measurement. The intensity dependent nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refraction of CdSe QDs were investigated by applying the Z-scan technique with 532 nm, nanosecond laser pulses. At lower intensities, the nonlinear process is dominated by saturable absorption (SA) and it is changed to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) at higher intensities. The SA behaviour is attributed to the ground state bleaching and the RSA is ascribed to free carrier absorption (FCA) of CdSe QDs. The nonlinear optical switching behaviour and reverse saturable absorption makes CdSe QDs are good candidate for all-optical device and optical limiting applications.

TL;DR: Three new flexidentate 5-substituted salicylaldimino Schiff base ligands based on 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine and their nickel(II) complexes have been reported, and 2 and 3 have been structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis.
Abstract: Three new flexidentate 5-substituted salicylaldimino Schiff base ligands (L1-OH-L3-OH) based on 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine (X=H, L1-OH; X=NO2, L2-OH; and X=Br, L3-OH) and their nickel(II) complexes (1a, 1b, 2, and 3) have been reported. The piperazinyl arm of these ligands can in principle have both boat and chair conformations that allow the ligands to bind the Ni(II) center in an ambidentate manner, forming square-planar and/or octahedral complexes. The nature of substitution in the salicylaldehyde aromatic ring and the type of associated anion in the complexes have profound influences on the coordination geometry of the isolated products. With the parent ligand L1-OH, the product obtained is either a planar red compound [Ni(L1-O)]+, isolated as tetraphenylborate salt (1a), or an octahedral green compound [Ni(L1-NH)(H2O)3](2+), isolated with sulfate anion (1b); both have been crystallographically characterized. In aqueous solution, both these planar (S=0) and octahedral (S=1) forms are in equilibrium that has been followed in the temperature range 298-338 K by 1H NMR technique using the protocol of Evans's method. The large exothermicity of the equilibrium process [Ni(L1-O)]+ + 3H2O + H+ [Ni(L1-NH)(H2O)3](2+) (DeltaH degrees=-46 +/- 0.2 kJ mol(-1) and DeltaS degrees=-133 +/- 5 J K(-1) mol(-1)) reflects formation of three new Ni-OH2 bonds in going from planar to the octahedral species. With the 5-nitro derivative ligand L2-OH, the sole product is an octahedral compound 2, isolated as a sulfate salt while with the bromo derivative ligand L3-OH, the exclusive product is a planar molecule 3 with associated tetraphenylborate anion. Both 2 and 3 have been structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis.
