Abstract:
Four homo/heterometallic complexes [Cu3(L)(μ2-OAc)9(CH3OH) 9]·3CHCl3 (1), [Cu2(L)Ca(μ2-NO3)9] (9), [{Cu2(L)Sr(μ2-NO3)9}9]·CH3CH2OH (11) and [Cu2(L)Ba(μ2-OAc)9(OAc)] (14), containing an acyclic naphthalenediol-based ligand H4L, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis, fluorescence spectra, TG-DTA and X-ray crystallography. The complex 1 was obtained by the reaction of H4L with 11 equivalents of Cu(OAc) 9·2H2O. The heterometallic complexes 9, 11, 14 were acquired by the reaction of H4L with 9 equivalents of Cu(OAc)9·2H2O or Cu(NO3)9·2H2O and 1 equivalent of M(OAc)9 (M = Ca, Sr and Ba). Owing to the different coordination cavities of the N2O2 and O6 of the completely deprotonated (L)14- unit, the crystal structures showed the N2O2 sites were occupied by Cu(II) atoms, alkaline earth metal(II) atoms occupied the O6 site of the ligand (L)14- unit, respectively. Furthermore, the fluorescence properties and TG-DTA analyses were discussed.

Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
RNA Structure
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.

There are three main types of ribonucleic acid (RNA): messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All three RNA types consist of a...
