Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of a series of ruthenium(II) diimine complexes with appended crown ethers derived from 1,10-phenanthroline was studied via either the annihilation route or the coreactant schemes, and the ECL efficiency has been determined. The effect of an FSN surfactant on the ECL properties was also studied in buffer solutions. The effect of cation binding on the ECL behavior w...

Two classes of novel tetra-iron substituted sandwich-type arsenotungastates (ATs) with supporting lanthanide (Ln) pendants KNa2 [Ln(H2O)7][Fe4(H2O)10(B-β-AsW9O33)2]·21H2O [Ln = La(III) (1), Pr(III) (2), Nd(III) ()3, Sm(III) (4)] and [Ln(H2O)8]2[Fe4(H2O)8(l-thr)2(B-β-AsW9O33)2]·20H2O [Ln = La(III) (5), Pr(III) ()6, Nd(III) (7), Sm(III) (8), Eu(III) (9), Gd(III) (10), Tb(III) (11), Dy(III) (12), ...

In this paper, part of a gilded attire set for decorating clothes is published, from the Museum Srem, belonging to Hungarian arts-and-crafts milieu period immediately after their settling in Pannonian Plain. The group finds, consisting total 14 pieces, was gifted middle 20th century as legacy Franjo Rački, who parson Sremska Mitrovica and trustee Archaeological Zagreb. It assumed that finds ori...

Two ligands with guanidinium/ammonium groups were synthesized and their copper complexes, [Cu(L1)Cl2](ClO4)2.H2O (1) and [Cu(L2)Cl2](ClO4)2 (2) (L1 = 5,5'-di[1-(guanidyl)methyl]-2,2'-bipyridyl cation and L2 = 5,5'-di[1-(amino)methyl]-2,2'-bipyridyl cation), were prepared to serve as nuclease mimics. X-Ray analysis revealed that Cu(II) ion in 1 has a planar square CuN2Cl2-configuration. The shor...

A novel light-emitting monomer M1 and its side-chain polymer P1 containing three conjugated aromatic pendants, including one pyridyl terminus, were successfully synthesized via Wittig and Pd-catalyzed Heck coupling reactions. The fluorescence of polymer P1 was efficiently quenched upon addition of different metal ions due to the facile energy transfers from the pendent groups of polymer P1 to s...

В Северной Галлии на могильниках Бюлль, Врон и Арси-Сент-Реститю (Пикардия) найдено несколько бронзовых трапециевидных подвесок со штампованным декором V-VIII вв. Они имеют восточноевропейское происхождение и, вероятно, попадают в Галлию результате морских контактов через Балтику Северное море.
