[structure: see text] A new type of donor-spacer-acceptor podand system has been synthesized and proved as an efficient dual channel fluorosensor for Li+, Mg2+, and Ca2+. The known ability for the N-oxide function to bind Lewis acids is the key step in the appearance of a new emitting charge-transfer (CT) excited state. The occurrence of this CT state for alkaline earth (Mg2+ and Ca2+) and not ...

Suitable single crystals of the title compound, barium dicobalt(II) bis-[orthoarsenate(V)], were prepared under hydro-thermal conditions. This phase belongs to a series of compounds with general formula AM(2)(XO(4))(2), where A = alkaline earth metal, M = Mg or a divalent first-row transition element, and X = P, As or V. BaCo(2)(AsO(4))(2) is isotypic with BaNi(2)(XO(4))(2) (X = P, V or As) and...

The partial positive charge of amide protons is used to promote macrocyclization and form crown-ether analogs. Their deprotonation generates very selective pH-switchable alkaline earth ion receptors only in the presence of an appropriate substrate.

The alkaline earth metals calcium and magnesium are critically involved in many biomolecular processes. To understand the hydration thermodynamics of these ions, we have performed molecular dynamics simulations using a polarizable potential. Particle-mesh Ewald for point multipoles has been applied to the calculation of electrostatic interactions. The parameters in this model have been determin...

Two new chelating resins (o-HAP-DDE-HCHO and o-HAP-DDE-FFD), having multiple functional groups are synthesised by condensing the Schiff base of o-hydroxyacetophenone-4,4'-diaminodiphenylether (o-HAP-DDE) with formaldehyde and furfuraldehyde, respectively. The extent of loading of metal ions Cu(II) and Ni(II) was studied in both competitive and non-competitive conditions varying the time of cont...

Tetrahydroisoquinoline frameworks may be accessed with 100% atom efficiency through the alkaline earth catalyzed addition of primary amines to ene-yne substrates through a sequence of intermolecular alkene and intramolecular alkyne hydroamination steps.

Correcting for atmospheric e ects is an essential part of surface-re ectance recovery from radiance measurements. Model-based atmospheric correction techniques improve the accuracy of the identi cation and classi cation of terrestrial re ectances from multi-spectral imagery. Successful and e cient removal of atmospheric e ects from remote-sensing data is a key factor in the success of Earth obs...
