Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers an amazing number of ways to probe the human body. It is a wonderful symbiosis of engineering, science and medicine. The power of MRI is its ability to probe a variety of physical mechanisms that can then not only re ...
Organometallic ruthenium(II)-arene (RA) antitumour compounds of the general type [Ru(II)(η6-arene)(X)2(pta)], RA-pta, and [Ru(II)(η6-arene)X(en)], RA-en, (X=leaving group; pta=1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane, en=ethylenediamine) have been investigated com ...
The mechanism of the enantioselective hydrosilylation of styrene catalyzed by Pd0 species generated in situ from dichloro[1-[(R)-1-[(S)-2(diphenylphosphino-kP)ferrocenyl]ethyl]-3-trimethylphenyl-5-1H-pyrazole-kN]palladium (1) was investigated in detail thr ...
Neutral metallamacrocycles with four or ten metal centers were obtained by reaction of [(R3P)PdCl2]2 with 2,3-dihydroxypyridine and derivatives or 2-hydroxynicotinic acid in the presence of base. In all these assemblies, the two O-donor atoms of the ligand ...
The tetradentate chelate ligand tris[(1-vinylimidazol-2-yl)methyl]amine (10) was synthesized in five steps from commercially available starting materials. Upon reaction with MCl2 (M = Zn, Cu, Ni, Co) in the presence of NH4PF6, the complexes [M(10)Cl]PF6 (M ...
New polydentate ligands (e.g., Tsox and TsoxMe) have been synthesized to take advantage of the chelating effect of bidentate 8-hydroxyquinolinate subunits connected to a N,N,N¢,N¢-tetraaminopropyl-1,2-ethylenediamine framework and with the aim of sensitizi ...
Three immobilized Cu(II) complexes were generated by the following: (a) homopolymerization of the N,N',N '' chelate ligand tris[2-(1-vinylimidazolyl)]phosphine (1) and subsequent metalation with CuCl2; (b) copolymerization of 1 with ethyleneglycol dimethac ...
The ligand N,N'-bis[6-carboxy-2-pyridylmethyl]ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid (H4bpeda) was synthesized using an improved procedure which requires a reduced no. of steps and leads to a higher yield with respect to the published procedure. It was obtaine ...
The labile cobalt (II) complex [Co(TUF)2(Pic)2] with 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedione (TUF) bidentate and 4-methylpyridine (Pic) monodentate ligands was studied by variable temp. (VT) 19F NMR from 184 to 312 K. In contrast to the solid state, ...
The diastereoselective synthesis of chiral coordination compounds with d metals proved the effectiveness of the pinene-bipyridine approach in predetermining the chirality at the metal centre. The strong Lewis acidic character of lanthanide cations required ...
