General description

2-Mercaptophenol (H2mp) is a 1,2-bidentate sulfur containing ligand. It exhibits versatile coordination modes in its ligation to the transition metal atoms.

Application

2-Mercaptophenol may be employed as a complexing agent for the microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of mercury species from sediments and zoobenthos samples. It may be used for the synthesis of Vanadium (IV) complexes having mixed O, S donor ligands.

Reaction of VO(acac)(2) with 2-mercaptophenol (mpH(2)) in the presence of triethylamine gives the mononuclear tris complex (Et(3)NH)(2)[V(mp)(3)] (1), in which the vanadyl oxygen has been displaced. An analogous reaction using 2-mercapto-4-methylphenol (mmpH(2)) afforded (Et(3)NH)(PNP)[V(mmp)(3)] (2), which was structurally characterized. 2

Early T-cell precursor leukaemia (ETP-ALL) is a high-risk subtype of human leukaemia that is poorly understood at the molecular level. Here we report translocations targeting the zinc finger E-box-binding transcription factor ZEB2 as a recurrent genetic lesion in immature/ETP-ALL. Using
