Tailoring of spin state energetics transition metal complexes and even the correct prediction resulting is still a challenging task, both for experimentalist theoretician. Apart from complexity in solid imposed by packing effects, molecular factors ordering are required to be identified quantified on equal rights. In this work we experimentally record states SCO energies within an eight-member ...

A novel octadentate 3-hydroxypyridin-2-one (2,3-HOPO) based di-macrocyclic ligand was evaluated for chelation of (89)Zr; subsequently, it was used as a bi-functional chelator for preparation of (89)Zr-labeled antibodies. Quantitative chelation of (89)Zr(4+) with the octadentate ligand forming (89)ZrL complex was achieved under mild conditions within 15 minutes. The (89)Zr-complex was stable in ...

The protonation constants of the macrocyclic ligand 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-N,N’,N”-triacetic acid (NOTA) have been measured by potentiometry, and the protonation sequence of the various amino and carboxylate groups of NOTA has been studied in DzO as a function of pD from the chemical shifts of the nonlabile protons. Shielding constants for protonation of the amino groups were determined in a N...

A series of metallo-macrocyclic based coordination polymers has been prepared from flexible amide ligands N-6-[(3-pyridylmethylamino)carbonyl]-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (L1-CH(3)) and N-6-[(4-pyridylmethylamino)carbonyl]-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (L2-CH(3)). In all but one case, self-assembled dinuclear metallo-macrocyclic units form the basis of the polymeric structures, whereby discrete met...

The formation and stability of alkali metal complexes with crown ethers containing an anthraquinone unit has been investigated in methanol and acetonitrile solutions by potentiometric methods. Complexes of 1:1 stoichiometry were observed for all the studied systems; 2:1 complexes were only detected for the larger alkali cations (Rb and Cs) and with the ligand with the larger macrocyclic cavity ...
