Chelating NHC Ruthenium(II) Complexes as Robust Homogeneous Hydrogenation Catalysts

A series of ruthenium(II) N-heterocyclic carbene chelate complexes were prepd. by using bidentate chelating alkene-carbene, thioether-carbene, carboxylate-carbene and bis-carbene ligands. Metalation of 1-R-3-X-imidazolium salts (1-3, R = Me, X = allyl, MeS ...

Organometallic complexes that interconvert between trimeric and monomeric structures as a function of pH and their effect on human cancer and fibroblast cells

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Wee Han Ang, Zacharias Immanuel Grote

Organometallic half-sandwich complexes based on ruthenium with aminomethyl-substituted 3-hydroxy-2-pyridone ligands exist in aqueous solution as monomeric O,O′-chelate complexes or trimeric metallamacrocycles depending upon the pH. We hypothesized that adm ...

Vibrational coherences and relaxation in the high-spin state of aqueous [Fell(bpy)3]2+

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Amal El Nahhas, Cristina Consani, Mirabelle Prémont-Schwarz

Dizzy cooling: Femtosecond excitation of the singlet states of aqueous [FeII(bpy)3]2+ (bpy=2,2-bipyridine) leads to the formation of a vibrationally hot quintet state that exhibits wave-packet dynamics arising from a chelate-ring and bending mode. The vibr ...

Near-Infrared Luminescence of Nine-Coordinate Neodymium Complexes with Benzimidazole-Substituted 8-Hydroxyquinolines

Rosario Scopelliti, Jean-Claude Bünzli, Frédéric Gumy

A new class of benzimidazole-substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline ligands has been prepared that contain a monoanionic tridentate N,N,O-coordinating unit. These ligands form charge-neutral lanthanide complexes of the type [Ln(LR) 3] · nH2O or [Ln2(L2)3] · nH2O ( ...

Physicochemical Properties of the High-Field MRI-Relevant [Gd(DTTA-Me)(H2O)2]− Complex

Lothar Helm, Loïck Moriggi, Cora Prestinari

To study the physicochemical properties of the DTTA chelating moiety (H4DTTA = diethylenetriaminetetraacetic acid = N,N′-[iminobis(ethane-2,1-diyl)]bis[N-(carboxymethyl)glycine]), used in several compounds proposed as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contr ...

Highly efficient MRI contrast agents

Loïck Moriggi

Since contrasts agents are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), numerous efforts have been done to increase their relaxivity (parameter allowing to quantify contrast agent efficiency). Few years ago, the Merbach group developed the chelating agent DTT ...

Lanthanide Bimetallic Helicates for in Vitro Imaging and Sensing

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Caroline Vandevyver, Bo Song, Steve Comby

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 ...

Facile synthesis and relaxation properties of novel bispolyazamacrocyclic Gd3+ complexes: An attempt towards calcium-sensitive MRI contrast agents

Eva Jakab Toth, Anurag Mishra

Three novel GdDO3A-type bismacrocyclic complexes, conjugated to Ca2+ chelating moieties like ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid and diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid bisamides, were synthesized as potential "smart" magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent ...

pH prediction and control in bioprocesses using mid-infrared spectroscopy

Ian William Marison, Jonas Schenk

An on-line pH monitoring method based on mid-infrared spectroscopy relevant to bioprocesses is presented. This approach is non-invasive and does not require the addition of indicators or dyes, since it relies on the analysis of species of common buffers us ...

Linear Polynuclear Helicates as a Link between Discrete Supramolecular Complexes and Programmed Infinite Polymetallic Chains

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Frédéric Gumy, Michal Borkovec

The contribution of the solvation energies to the assembly of polynuclear helicates reduces the free energy of intermetallic repulsion, DEMM, in condensed phase to such an extent that stable D3-symmetrical tetranuclear lanthanide-containing triplestranded ...
