Formation of mixed-ligand Pd2+ complexes between canonical nucleoside 5'-monophosphates and five metal-ion-binding nucleoside analogs has been studied by 1H-NMR spectroscopy to test the ability of these nucleoside surrogates to discriminate between unmodified nucleobases by Pd2+-mediated base pairing. The nucleoside analogs studied included 2,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-, 2,6-bis(1-methylhy...

The electrochemistry and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of a series of europium chelates, cryptates, and mixed-ligand chelate/cryptand complexes were studied. The complexes were of the following general forms:  EuL(4)(-), where L = β-diketonate, a bis-chelating ligand (such as dibenzoylmethide), added as salts (A)EuL(4), where A = tetrabutylammonium ion or piperidinium ion (pipH(+)); ...

Oxovanadium(IV), manganese(II) and copper(II) complexes of a Schiff base ligand derived from 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane have been encapsulated in the nanocavity of zeolite-Y by flexible ligand method and characterized by metal analysis, IR spectroscopic studies and X-ray diffraction patterns. The encapsulated complexes abbreviated here as CuL-Y, MnL-Y and VOL-Y catalyz...

Few novel cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes [M(fmp)3]Cl2, [M(fmp)(bpy)2]Cl2,[M(fmp)(phen)2]Cl2 and [M(fmp)(phen)(bpy)]Cl2 (fmp = 3-furan-2-ylmethylene-pentane-2,4-dione, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) have been synthesized andcharacterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements,IR, electronic, EPR, mass spectra and cyclic voltammetri...
