The title compound, [Ni(C(2)H(8)N(2))(C(6)H(18)N(4))]S(2)O(3)·3H(2)O, was accidentally synthesized under solvothermal conditions applying [Ni(en)(3)]Cl(2) (en is ethane-1,2-diamine) as the Ni source. The asymmetric unit consists of one discrete [Ni(tren)(en)](2+) complex [tren is N,N-bis-(2-amino-eth-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine] in which the Ni(2+) cation is sixfold coord-inated within a slightly dis...

Four organic-decorated quaternary TM-Hg-Sb-Q compounds, namely, [Mn(phen)](2)HgSb(2)S(6) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) (1) and isomorphic [TM(tren)]HgSb(2)Se(5) (TM = Mn (2), Fe (3), Co (4); tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine) have been solvothermally prepared, and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. 1 and 2 (3, 4) feature distinct one-dimensional neutral infinit...

The two novel compounds, [Mn(tren)]Sb2S4 (1 and 2), were obtained by the reaction of elemental Mn, Sb, and S in aqueous solutions of tren (tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, C6H18N4) after different reaction times. Compound 1 is formed up to a reaction time of 13 d, and an extension of the reaction time leads to the formation of 2. Both compounds crystallize in monoclinic space groups (1, P2(1)/c;...

Simple sulfonamide and amide derivatives of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (Tren) are known to promote the translocation or flip-flop of phosphatidylcholine, but not phosphatidylserine, across bilayer membranes. This paper describes the synthesis of a 300-member, spatially encoded library of Tren derivatives with appended peptide--sulfonamide and peptide--urea arms. The library was synthesized using t...

The heptapeptide H-Iva-Api-Iva-ATANP-Iva-Api-Iva-NHCH(3) (P1a), where Iva is (S)-isovaline, Api is 4-amino-4-carboxypiperidine, and ATANP is (S)-2-amino-3-[1-(1,4,7-triazacyclononane)]propanoic acid, has been synthesized. Its conformation in aqueous solution is essentially that of a 3(10)-helix. By connecting three copies of P1a to a functionalized Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (Tren) platform a new ...

known to have a coordination number of seven. Nearly all of them have the basic formulation [Ln(bidentate)3(unidentate)]. On the contrary, structurally characterized examples of a heptadentate ligand coordinating one metal ion are rare. Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) condenses with salicylaldehyde or its substituted analogs in a 1:3 molar ratio to form Schiff-bases which are potentially tribasi...

The thermodynamic selectivity for Gd(3+) relative to Ca(2+), Zn(2+), and Fe(3+) of two ligands of potential interest as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents has been determined by NMR spectroscopy and potentiometric and spectrophotometric titration. The two hexadentate ligands TREN-6-Me-3,2-HOPO (H(3)L2) and TREN-bisHOPO-TAM-EA (H(4)L3) incorporate 2,3-dihydroxypyridonate and 2,3-di...

A substituted TREN has been prepared in which the aryl groups in (ArylNHCH2CH2)3N are substituted at the 3- and 5-positions with a total of six OCH2(CH2)nCH═CH2 groups (n = 1, 2, 3). Molybdenum nitride complexes, [(ArylNCH2CH2)3N]Mo(N), have been isolated as adducts that contain B(C6F5)3 bound to the nitride. Two of these [(ArylNCH2CH2)3N]Mo(NB(C6F5)3) complexes (n = 1 and 3) were crystallograp...
