The employment of cyclodextrin host-guest complexation to construct supramolecular assemblies with an emphasis on polymer networks is reviewed. The main driving force for this supramolecular assembly is host-guest complexation between cyclodextrin hosts and guest groups either of which may be discrete molecular species or substituents on a polymer backbone. The effects of such complexation on p...

The complexation of uranium(VI) and samarium(III) with oxydiacetate (ODA) in 1.05 mol kg(-1) NaClO(4) is studied at variable temperatures (25-70 degrees C). Three U(VI)/ODA complexes (UO(2)L, UO(2)L(2)(2-), and UO(2)HL(2)(-)) and three Sm(III)/ODA complexes (SmL(j)((3-2)(j)+) with j = 1, 2, 3) are identified in this temperature range. The formation constants and the molar enthalpies of complexa...

Host-guest complexation with various hydrophobic drugs has been used to enhance the solubility, permeability, and stability of guest drugs. Physical changes in hydrophobic drugs by complexation have been related to corresponding increases in the bioavailability of these drugs. Carbohydrates, including various derivatives of cyclodextrins, cyclosophoraoses, and some linear oligosaccharides, are ...

Raman spectra of the cyclic hexapeptide cyclo-(L-prolylglycyl)3 and its Na+, K+, and Ca2+ complexes are reported for the solid state and for samples in solution. Model compounds and N-deuteration were used to aid mode identification. Spectra of the uncomplexed ionophore in solution are consistent with previously proposed solution conformations and permit the identification of spectral lines cha...

An in-depth study of the ion transfer facilitated by complexation in the organic phase (TOC mechanism) in liquid membrane systems of one and two polarized interfaces is carried out by taking into account the kinetic effects associated with the complexation reaction. Explicit analytical equations for the normal pulse voltammetric (I/E) and chronoamperometric (I/t) responses with an explicit depe...

the dependence on ionic strength of protonation of glycine and its complexation with dioxouranium (vi) is reported in sodium perchlorate and sodium chloride solutions as background salts. the measurements have been performed at 25±0.1°c and various ionic strengths in the range 0.1 to 1.0 mol , using a combination of potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques. the overall analysis  of the ...

The introduction of the combination of open metal site (OMS) and π-complexation into MOF has led to very high ethylene-ethane adsorption selectivity at 318 K, as illustrated in the context of MIL-101-Cr-SO3Ag. The interactions with ethylene from both OMS and π-complexation in MIL-101-Cr-SO3Ag have been investigated by in situ IR spectroscopic studies and computational calculations, which sugges...

the complexation reaction between 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (kryptofix5) ligand with zn2+, ni2+, co2+, pb2+, mn2+ and cu2+ ions were studied conductometrically in different acetonitrile-nitromethane (an-nm) and acetonitrile-methanol (an-meoh) mixtures. the formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes were calculated from the computer fitting of the molar conductan...

Available surface complexation models for birnessite required the inclusion of bidentate bonds or the adsorption of cation-hydroxy complexes to account for experimentally observed H/M exchange. These models contain inconsistencies and therefore the surface complexation on birnessite was re-examined. Structural data on birnessite indicate that sorption sites are located on three oxygens around a...

The Ca2+ concentration and hydrolysis degree [-COO-] dependence of the self-complexation of partially hydrolyzed poly(acrylamide) (HPAM) chains in CaCl2 aqueous solution was systematically investigated by a combination of static and dynamic laser light scattering. We have, for the first time, revealed a transition between the intrachain and interchain complexations. For each given HPAM sample, ...
