Intracellular ionized magnesium concentrations ([Mg2+]i) were measured in erythrocytes by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and zero-point titration in 14 controls and seven patients with renal magnesium loss. The mean intracellular ionized magnesium concentration in controls measured by 31P NMR was 0.20 (SD 0.03) mmol/L cell water, compared with 0.55 (SD 0.12) mmol/L cell water by zero-poin...

A series of racemic 2-[(2′-(dimethylamino)binaphthyl-2-ylimino)methyl]-4-R2-6-R(1)-phenols (L1H–L6H) were reacted with 1 equiv. of Mg[N(SiMe3)2]2 or Zn[N(SiMe3)2]2 to provide three heteroleptic magnesium silylamido complexes [(L4–(6))MgN(SiMe3)2] (4a: R(1) = R(2) = cumyl; 5a: R(1) = CPh3, R(2) = Me; 6a: R(1) = CPh3, R(2) = (t)Bu) and one heteroleptic zinc silylamido complex [(L(4))ZnN(SiMe3)2] ...

Chapter 1. Magnesium-dependent phosphate ester processing enzymes frequently employ a carboxylate-bridged dimetallic unit in their active sites. Biomimetic modelling chemistry of these magnesium centers has not been investigated previously. An brief introduction of the enzyme systems is presented, along with the focus of the present work. Chapter 2. Several dimagnesium(II) complexes were synthe...

Amide and alkoxide coordination complexes of calcium supported by beta-diiminato and bulky trispyrazolylborate complexes are reported together with their activity in lactide ring-opening polymerization; some are amongst the most active systems discovered to date.

New zinc and magnesium complexes of N-(2-carboxyphenyl)salicylidenimine) were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, and X-ray single-crystal analysis. These complexes exhibit tuneable luminescence in the solid state from blue to green by varying by metal ion and composition. Moreover, the quantum yields range from 0.11 to 0.41, while lifetimes were determined ...

Chloro-magnesium complexes of divergent tetradentate-monoanionic {ONNN}-type ligands which formed as either mononuclear or dinuclear complexes are reported. These complexes catalyze the ringopening polymerization of lactide with high activity and in a living manner, and enable the synthesis of well-defined stereo-diblock copolymers with Mn > 200 kDa, as well as stereo-n-block copolymers (n 1⁄4 ...

new hetero-binuclear hg-cu schiff base complexes were prepared by reaction of 2,2'-[1,1'-(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyldinitrilo)-diethyldyne]diphenolato}copper(ii) (cul1) and 6,6'-x-2,2'-[(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato copper(ii) [(x = ethoxy (cul2) and ‎methoxy (cul3)], with hgcl2 to give [cu(l1)hgcl2] (1), [cu(l2)hgcl2] (2), and [cu...
