A novel class of derivatized hydroxamic acid linkages for robust sensitization of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) under various aqueous conditions is described. The stability of linkages bound to metal oxides under various conditions is important in developing photocatalytic cells which incorporate transition metal complexes for solar energy conversion. In order to compare the standard carboxylate anc...

Acid dissociation constant (pKa) of some para-substituted benzohydroxamic, 4-XC6H4CONHOH, and N-methyl parasubstituted benzohydroxamic acids, 4XC6H4CON(OH)CH3, where X = H, CH3, CH3O, NO2, Cl, have been determined spectrophotometrically by nucleophilic substitution reactions of pnitrophenyl acetate with hydroxamate ions at 27± 0.1C. All reactions in this study follow pseudo-first order kinetics...

A small zinc-binding group (ZBG) library of deoxy-2-C-branched-monosaccharides, for example, 1,5-anhydroglucitols, consisting of either monodentate ligand binding carboxylic acids or bidentate ligand binding hydroxamic acids, were prepared to assess the zinc affinity of the putative metalloenzyme 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-phosphatidylinositol de-N-acetylase (EC 3.5.1.89) of g...

A new family of relatively stable Cr(V) complexes, [Cr(V)O(L)(2)](-) (LH(2) = RC(O)NHOH, R = Me, Ph, 2-HO-Ph, or HONHC(O)(CH(2))(6)), has been obtained by the reactions of hydroxamic acids with Cr(VI) in polar aprotic solvents. Similar reactions in aqueous solutions led to the formation of transient Cr(V) species. All complexes have been characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance spectros...

cause the hydroxamic acid is readily reduced both in vivo and in vitro (9, 13, 16, 22), the balance of the N-hydroxyla tion and reduction reactions is of considerable importance in determining the carcinogenic dose applied to the tissues. Studies on the microsomal system which N-hydroxylates AAF have been reported by Irving (13) and are in progress in this laboratory (17). The present paper rep...
