Electron-spin relaxation is one of the determining factors in the efficacy of MRI contrast agents. Of all the parameters involved in determining relaxivity it remains the least well understood, particularly as it relates to the structure of the complex. On ...
The potentially hexadentate ligand L, which contains two terminal coumarin fluorophores, forms dinuclear double-stranded helicates with dicationic metal ions, giving species of the generic form M2L2. In solution the free ligand was fluorescent with e ...
Deviations from statistical binding, that is cooperativity, in self-assembled polynuclear complexes partly result from intermetallic interactions Delta E-M,E-M, whose magnitudes in solution depend on a balance between electrostatic repulsion and solvation ...
As the need for targeting luminescent biolabels increases, for mapping selected analytes, imaging of cells and organs, and tracking in cellulo processes, lanthanide bimetallic helicates are emerging as versatile bioprobes. The wrapping of three ligand stra ...
The hydrothermal synthesis and structural characterization of the lanthanide silicate system [Na6Ln2Si12O30x H2O] (Ln=La3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+), named AV-21, has been reported. Structural elucidation of the Sm3+ analogue (isomorphous with the Eu3+, ...
Ribonuclease H (RNase H) belongs to the nucleotidyl-transferase (NT) superfamily and hydrolyzes the phosphodiester linkages that form the backbone of the RNA strand in RNA x DNA hybrids. This enzyme is implicated in replication initiation and DNA topology ...
Recently, using a numerical surface cooling approach, we have shown that highly energetic discrete breathers (DBs) can form in the stiffest parts of nonlinear network models of large protein structures. In the present study, using an analytical approach, w ...
Different strategies for the creation of optical sensors with metal–dye complexes are discussed. The focus is on sensors, which are used in conjunction with pattern recognition protocols. It is shown that remarkably powerful sensors can be obtained by comb ...
The knowledge and understanding of the mechanism as well as the rate constant of the solvent exchange reactions are fundamental, since these reactions represent an important step in complex formation reactions on metal ions. Solvent exchange reactions in a ...
Metallica: A large contraction of the PtPt bond in the triplet excited state of the photoreactive [Pt2(P2O5H2)4]4- ion is determined by time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (see picture). The strengthening of the PtPt interaction is accompanied by a ...
