This work illustrates a simple approach for optimizing the lanthanide luminescence in molecular dinuclear lanthanide complexes and identifies a particular multidentate europium complex as the best candidate for further incorporation into polymeric materials. The central phenyl ring in the bis-tridentate model ligands L3–L5, which are substituted with neutral (X = H, L3), electron-withdrawing (X...

PURPOSE To identify the most effective multidentate 1,2-HOPO and Me-3,2-HOPO ligands for chelation of Pu(IV) in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two sets of ligands with four identical backbones were prepared containing two, three or four bidentate 1,2-HOPO or Me-3,2-HOPO groups, and 3,4,3-LI(1,2-HOPO) was resynthesized in a higher yielding procedure. They were evaluated in mouse for acute toxicit...

Over the past decade, several technologies have emerged to access nucleic acid-tagged libraries and select the fittest compound within such libraries. This perspective focuses on recent development with PNA-tagged small molecules displayed on DNA templates for screening purposes and to probe the optimal geometry in multivalent interactions.

The present review discusses the state of the art of the thermodynamic treatment for variable charge at solid/liquid interfaces. The most important equations are given for the case of generic surface sites. This can easily be extended to the more general case for multiple surface sites. Detailed aspects involving thermodynamic standard states of simple and multidentate surface complexes are add...

To provide utility in understanding the molecular evolution of ion-selective biomembrane channels/transporters, globular proteins, and ionophoric compounds, as well as in guiding their modification and design, we present a statistical mechanical basis for deconstructing the impact of the coordination structure and chemistry of selective multidentate ionic complexes. The deconstruction augments ...

At present, thiol ligands are generally used whenever the classical Brust-Schiffrin two-phase method is employed to prepare metal nanoparticles. In general, the previous research was mainly focused on utilizing small molecular thiol compounds or thiol polymers as the stabilizers in organic phase to obtain small sized and uniform gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). Such preparations are usually associa...

Asymmetric catalysis of the Mukaiyama aldol reaction has been reported with complexes derived from Al, B, Sn(II), and Ti(IV).l The levels of asymmetric induction for the addition of propionate-, isobutyrate-, and acetate-derived silyl thioketene acetals to aldehydes parallel those obtained with chiral-auxiliarybased methodologies.2 However, silyl ketene acetals derived from 0-alkyl acetates uni...
