By adjusting to the steric and electronic requirements of differing metal centers, the new multidentate monoanionic ligand [N(2)P(2)] has demonstrated a unique ability to stabilize a range of transition metal-dinitrogen complexes in a variety of oxidation states and coordination geometries.

The fluorescence intensity of the iron-CP691 complex in the presence of a competing multidentate ligand is associated with pFe(3+) of the competing ligand and the relative fluorescence has a linear correlation with the pFe(3+) values. A correlation was also found to exist between the relative fluorescence and the ratio of a competing ligand to the probe CP691. Based on this assay, the pFe(3+) v...

This is a report of the studies conducted on synthesis, spectral, biological viz. antibacterial and antitumorous activities some Copper complexes synthesized from multidentate thiosemicarbazone ligand, HL2. based reaction between secondary amine viz.N-phenyl piperazine an N-substituted heterocyclic ketone 2-Benzoylpyridine.

Front Cover: In article number 2100238 by Dario R. Dekel, Charles E. Diesendruck and co-workers look at the ligand valency effect on alkaline stability of metallopolymer anion-exchange membranes. fuel cells electrolyzers, aggressive environment decomposes organic cations metallopolymers present a promising alternative. ROMP polynorbornenes with multidentate pyridine-Nickel complexes are used to...

One barrier to apply current tri-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) based quantum dots (QDs) to biomedical imaging is that the TOPO on TOPO-QDs can be replaced by the proteins in living system, which may cause the degradation of QDs and/or deactivation of protein. In order to develop biocompatible optical imaging agents, a novel triblock copolymer, designed as a multidentate ligand, was synthesized to...

The influence of organic-hexavalent-uranium [U(VI)] complexation on U(VI) reduction by a sulfate-reducing bacterium (Desulfovibrio desulfuricans) and an iron-reducing bacterium (Shewanella alga) was evaluated. Four aliphatic ligands (acetate, malonate, oxalate, and citrate) and an aromatic ligand (tiron [4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-benzene disulfonic acid]) were used to study complexed-uranium bioavailab...

The dimeric self-assembly program of a new, multidentate ligand with cuprous ions overcomes crystal packing forces, which leads to C(i) symmetry in the solid state, to form a no less than partially C(2)-symmetric structure in solution. The resulting tetranitro-substituted dicopper(i) metallocyclophane displays an exceptionally strong second harmonic frequency response (β = (3000 ± 600) × 10(-30...

A new dual-boron-cored luminogen ligated with a nitrogen-containing multidentate ligand and four bulky phenyl rings was readily synthesized. The unique molecular structure endows this BN-containing luminogen with rich photophysical properties in either solution or in the solid state, including a large Stokes shift, aggregation induced emission activity and reversible piezochromism. Furthermore,...
