Complexes of lanthanide (III) ions have been used in structural studies of biomolecules and as contrast agents (CA). Clinically approved CAs have only one water molecule in their first coordination sphere. Structure and water exchange rate of these complex ...
A synthetic path to poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide), a substitute for the "KLE" surfactant was developed. For this purpose, mono hydroxyl end-functionalized poly(ethylene-co-butylene) (similar to 3800 g mol(-1)) was modified with a tr ...
Two new tripodal heptadentate ligands, H4dpaba (N,N'-bis[(6-carboxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]aspartic acid) and H3mpatcn(1,4-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-7-[(6-carboxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1,4,7-triazacyclononane), which bear one or two picolinate pendant arms, have been ...
Herein we report a detailed H-1 and O-17 relaxometric investigation of Mn(II) complexes with cyclenbased ligands such as 2-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-1-yl)acetic acid (DO IA), 2,2 '-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4-diyI)diacetic acid (1,4-DO2A), 2,2 ...
A series of novel symmetrically and unsymmetrically coordinated platinum(IV) complexes with monodentate carboxylato ligands was synthesized. The compounds exhibit a general coordination sphere of [Pt(en)(OCOR)(2)(OCOR')(OCOR '')1, where the carboxylato lig ...
Ionic liquids doped with I-2, usually resulting in the formation of polyiodide anions, are extensively used as electrolytes and in iodination reactions. Herein, NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction were used to rationalize the structures o ...
Nitranilic acid (2,5-dihydroxy-3,6-dinitro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione) as a strong dibasic acid in acidic aqueous media creates the Zundel cation, H5O2+. The structural unit in a crystal comprises (H5O2)(2)(+)(2,5-dihydroxy-3,6-dinitro-1,4-benzoquinonate ...
The title complex [Co-III{(naph)(2)dpt}(bzlan)]BPh4, where (naph)(2)dpt stands for bis-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimine)-N-dipropylenetriamine dianion and bzlan for benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis and H-1 NM ...
A series of cationic dinuclear p-cymene ruthenium complexes containing three thiolato bridges with different substituents at the sulfur atoms, (eta(6)-p-(MeC6H4Pr)-Pr-i)(2)Ru-2(mu(2)-SR1)(2)(mu(2)-SR2) (R-1 = CH2Ph, R-2 = Ph: 4; R-1 = CH2Ph, R-2 = p-( ...
A compound binding three Gd3+ ions, {Ph-4Gd(DTTA)(H2O)(2) (3)} (where H(5)DTTA is diethylenetriaminetetraacetic acid), has been synthesized around a hydrophobic center made up of four phenyl rings. In aqueous solution the molecules start to self-aggre ...
