Binuclear Transition‐Metal Complexes of an Oxaloyl Dihydrazone Ligand: DNA Binding and Catalytic Oxidation of Cyclohexene
A polydentate oxaloyl dihydrazone ligand (H 2 L) was synthesized using 2‐hydroxy‐1‐naphthaldehyde and oxaloyl dihydrazide, and its transition metal complexes with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Fe(II) were prepared. The structures of the ligand and complexes were characterized by FT‐IR, UV–vis, LC–MS/MS, TGA/DTA, and...
