The development of polymers is the biggest achievements made in chemistry which has a significant effect on everyday life. Remarkable improvement in humanitys progress has been observed from the "Stone era" to the "Iron era" to the "Bronze era" to the "Polymer era". Polyimide is a polymer of imide monomer. Polymerization by Diels-Alder reaction is one of the promising trends in the preparation of polyimides. Furan ring is one of the most thoroughly studied diene which display a pronounced dienic character, makes it highly suitable as diene. The use of bismaleimide as dienophile is very useful...

The development of polymers is one of the biggest achievements made in chemistry which has a significant effect on everyday life. Polymeric metal complexes are defined as polymeric substances which are composed of metal ions or clusters connected by poly topic organic linkers via strong coordination bonds. Polymeric metal complexes are sometimes referred to as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or coordination polymers. Owing to the published work on these topics and long-standing interest of my laboratory in the study of this class of compounds, synthesis of various novel ligands and oligomeric...

The chemistry of acridine and its derivatives has been studied for over a century owing to their diverse biological activities viz., antitubercular, antimalarial, antitumour, vasorelaxing, antiviral etc. Polyhydroacridine-1,8-diones are polyfunctionalized 1,4-dihydropyridine type derivatives. 1,4-Dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) are well-known compounds because of their biological activities. The chemical modifications on the DHP ring, such as different substituents or heteroatoms, have allowed the study of the extended structure and activity relationship and also provided some insight into the...

The development of bioactive organometallic compound is one of the biggest achievements made in chemistry which has a significant effect on everyday life. Remarkable improvement in humanity's progress has been observed from the "Hydrocarbons" to the "Allylic compounds" to the "Aryl compounds" to the "Organometallic compound." "Organometallic compound" is now a household word. Organometallic compound derived from transition metal ions are defined as hybrid substances which are composed of metal ions or clusters connected by poly topic organic linkers via strong coordination bonds....

The last few decades have seen a flurry of activity in the synthesis and development of 8-hydroxy-quinoline (8HQ) derivative. Various strategies can be envisaged to synthesize or modify 8HQ structures by exploiting the reactivity of this heterocycle with their derivatives by various researchers. 8-hydroxyquinoline and its derivatives were also reported to have promising bioactivities, including anticancer, antibacterial, antidyslipidemic and antioxidative properties, vasorelaxing properties, antivirus and antiplatelet activities. The aim of this book is to provide a brief knowledge about...

Our prime objective is to prepare a series of copper complex compounds which possess enhance biological activity by introducing 4-hydroxycoumarins and fluoroquinolones segments together. In the present article, we have synthesized twelve novel ligands and their Cu (II) complexes. We have focused much on antimicrobial activity, antioxidant and antitubarcular activity. Results from antimicrobial activity revealed that Cu (II) complexes were found biologically active as compared to its ligands. Few of the complexes have been found more potent antimicrobial agent against gram positive bacteria....

In recent years, the design and construction of polymeric metal complexes have attracted increasing attention. Hence, we have carried out the synthesis and characterization of various ligands and its coordination polymers derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline and 2,2'-(phenyl azanediyl) diethanol derivatives, we have carried out biological activity of all synthesized compounds. The aim of this book is to provide a brief knowledge about the microbial activity of ligands and their coordination polymers. This study was carried out Dr. Khyati D. Patel at Chemistry Department, Sardar Patel University,...
