A series of new nickel complexes bearing benzoxazolylpyridines was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopic and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of two representative complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex [NiCl2[2-(2-benzoxazolyl)-6-methylpyridine]] (5) is a centrosymmetric dinuclear compound

The title compound, [CrSn(C6H5)3(C7H6NO2)3Cl][Sn(C6H5)3Cl(CH4O)], was obtained from the reaction of Ph3SnCl with the complex [Cr(C7H6NO2)3] in methanol. The structure contains [Ph3SnCl(MeOH)] (A) and [Ph3SnClCr(C7H6NO2)3] (B) molecules. In molecule A, the Sn atom of Ph3SnCl is coordinated by one methanol molecule.

In this study, proton affinitive derivatization using picolinic acid and its analogs (3- and 6-methylpicolinic acid and 5-butylpicolinic acid) with proton affinitive moieties was performed for the highly sensitive determination of testosterone (T) and 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in saliva by LC-ESI-MS/MS.
