Cover illustration: A new zirconium(IV) com­plex, [Zr(QCa)2(H2O)2]·2DMF, with 8-hy­droxy­quinoline-2-carb­oxy­lic acid (HQCaH) was prepared and characterized. The ZrIV atom in this mononuclear com­plex is octa­coordinated by two QCa2− ligands and two aqua ligands. The com­plex and the HQCaH ligand showed low anticancer activity with IC50 > 200 µM. On the other hand, the com­plex inter­calates in CT DNA and also inter­acts with HSA. See Harmošová, Vilková, Kello, Smolko, Samol'ová & Šebová [Acta Cryst. (2023), C79, 316–323].

Two cadmium tri-tert-but­oxy­silane­thiol­ates with 1,4-bis­(3-amino­prop­yl)pi­per­a­zine were obtained from identical molar ratios of reagents in different solvents. The structures of the com­plexes have a direct impact on their spectral properties, as well as their anti­fungal properties.

The title Schiff base was synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-4-methyl­phenol with 4-meth­oxy­naph­tha­lene-1-carbaldehyde in a 1:1 ratio. The com­pound exhibits significant anti­corrosion properties for iron and copper.
