In-plane electrical characteristics of non-peripherally octyl(C[Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text]- and hexyl(C[Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text]-substituted liquid crystalline (LC) double decker lanthanide bisphthalocyanine (LnPc[Formula: see text] complexes with central metal ions lutetium (Lu), and gadolinium (Gd) have been measured in thin film formulations on interdigitated gold (Au) electrodes for the applied voltage ([Formula: see text] range of [Formula: see text]. The conduction mechanism is found to be Ohmic within the bias of [Formula: see text] while the bulk limited Poole–Frenkel mechanism is responsible for the higher bias. The compounds show individual characteristics depending on the central metal ions, substituent chain lengths and their mesophases. Values of 67.55 [Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] and 42.31 [Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] have been obtained for room temperature in-plane Ohmic conductivity of as-deposited octyl lutetium (C[Formula: see text]LuPc[Formula: see text] and hexyl gadolinium (C[Formula: see text]GdPc[Formula: see text] films, respectively while C[Formula: see text]GdPc[Formula: see text] films exhibit nearly two orders of magnitude smaller conductivity. On annealing at 80[Formula: see text]C, Ohmic conductivities of C[Formula: see text]LuPc[Formula: see text] and C[Formula: see text]GdPc[Formula: see text] are found to have increased but the conductivity of C[Formula: see text]GdPc[Formula: see text] decreased by more than one order of magnitude to 1.5 [Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]. For physical interpretation of the charge transport behavior of these three molecules, their UV-vis optical absorption spectra in the solution and in as-deposited and annealed solid phases and atomic force microscopy study have been performed. It is believed that both orientation and positional reorganizations are responsible, depending upon the size of the central ion and side chain length.

Abstract This article aimed at the synthesis and molecular docking assessment of new diimine Schiff base ligand, namely 2-((E)-(2-((Z)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyvinyl)hydrazono) methyl)-6-methoxyphenol (methoxy-diim), via the condensation of 1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-hydrazino-ethenol compound with 2-((E)-(2-((Z)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy vinyl) hydrazono)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol in acetic acid as well as the preparation of new binuclear complexes of Co(ii), Ni(ii), Cu(ii), and Zn(ii). The following synthesized complexes were prepared in a ratio of 2:1 (metal/ligand). The 1H-NMR, UV-Vis, and FTIR spectroscopic data; molar conductivity measurements; and microanalytical, XRD, TGA/DTG, and biological studies were carried out to determine the molecular structure of these complexes. According to the spectroscopic analysis, the two central metal ions were coordinated with the diamine ligand via the nitrogen of the hydrazine and oxygen of the hydroxyl groups for the first metal ions and via the nitrogen of the hydrazine and oxygen of the phenol group for the second metal ions. Molecular docking for the free ligand was carried out against the breast cancer 3hb5-oxidoreductase and the 4o1v-protein binding kidney cancer and COVID-19 protease, and good results were obtained.

MetLigDB (http://silver.sejong.ac.kr/MetLigDB) is a publicly accessible web-based database through which the interactions between a variety of chelating groups and various central metal ions in the active site of metalloproteins can be explored in detail. Additional information can also be retrieved, including protein and inhibitor names, the amino acid residues coordinated to the central metal ion, and the binding affinity of the inhibitor for the target metalloprotein. Although many metalloproteins have been considered promising targets for drug discovery, it is difficult to discover new inhibitors because of the difficulty in designing a suitable chelating moiety to impair the catalytic activity of the central metal ion. Because both common and specific chelating groups can be identified for varying metal ions and the associated coordination environments, MetLigDB is expected to give users insight into designing new inhibitors of metalloproteins for drug discovery.

The spatial distribution of toluene and THF in the polyester poly(diethylene glycol-co-succinic acid) and its Mg2+-containing "telechelic" derivative was described by Kirkwood–Buff–Zimm (KBZ) cluster integrals. The values of KBZ integrals as a function of the volume fraction of solvent in the polymer–solvent systems were obtained from finite concentration inverse gas chromatography measurements utilizing the elution-on-a-plateau technique. The results show that toluene has a higher self-affinity to form clusters in the pure polyester than THF, which is more homogeneously distributed in the polymer. Data for preferential solvation indicate that a segregation of parts of the polymer chains is present in the toluene–polyester system. When metal ions are introduced, the self-affinity of the solvent molecules to gather increases, whereas solvent clusters of toluene form in the free volume, and the gathering of the THF is likely to take place close to the metal ions. Based on the electron donacity values of the various donor groups present in the metal-ion-containing polymer it was assumed that THF in the Mg2+-containing polyester will be bound to the central metal ion while the apolar toluene will participate in the solvation of the apolar parts of the polymer and will be "repelled" from the ion-containing regions. The concentration of these ionic centres, which act as effective cross-links in the coordination polymer, was determined from measurements of thermodynamic activity. A comparison of the experimental and estimated effective cross-link density values indicates a nearly atomic dispersion of Mg2+ in the metal-ion-containing polyesters. Keywords: inverse gas chromatography, cluster integrals, solvent partition in polymers, metal-ion-containing polyesters, Flory–Huggins interaction parameter.
