The coordination chemistry of a series of pro-ligands ([L¹]-[L⁶]) with cobalt and zinc derivatives has been studied. All complexes have been characterized by multinuclear NMR, elemental analysis, and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Polymerization of rac-lactide takes place at 130 °C in the presence of cobalt and zinc complexes to yield polymers under solvent free conditions with co...

Cyclopentyl substituted silanetriol can be prepared and isolated. Its condensation yields the corresponding disiloxanetetrol as a primary condensation product. Further condensation leads to the hexameric polyhedral silsesquioxane cage T6. The latter has been mentioned in the literature before however, lacking structural data. All compounds have been characterized with multinuclear NMR spectrosc...

The title compound (2) was prepared by reaction of 4-chlorocinnoline with glycidol/sodium hydride in dry DMF, since treatment of cinnolin-4-ol with epichlorohydrin as well as oxidation of 4-allyloxycinnoline did not succeed. Reaction of 2 with primary and secondary amines leads to aminoalcohols characterized by a high tendency to rearrangement and/or elimination. The obtained products were subj...

Stirring Lewis-basic transition metal complexes with the salts M[BAr(Cl)4] (M = Ag, Tl; Ar(Cl) = 3,5-C6H3Cl2) resulted in the formation of diplatinum complexes [{(Cy3P)2Pt}2(μ-Ag)][BAr(Cl)4] (3) and [{(Cy3P)2Pt}2(μ-Tl)][BAr(Cl)4] (4) and the diiron compound [{(OC)3(Me3P)2Fe}2(μ-Ag)] (5) featuring bridging, unsupported metal cations. Their properties were investigated by multinuclear NMR spectro...

A binuclear tungsten(0) complex with an asymmetric bridging 1,2-diphosphole ligand was prepared by the photolysis of tungsten hexacarbonyl in presence 1-isopropyl-2-phenyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydroacenaphtho [5,6-cd][1,2]diphosphole. The 1 characterized high resolution mass spectrometry, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 31P), and elemental microanalysis. structure trans isomer resolved single c...

Metal ions are indispensable for ribonucleic acids (RNAs) folding and activity. First they act as charge neutralization agents, allowing the RNA molecule to attain the complex active three dimensional structure. Second, metal ions are eventually directly involved in function. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy offers several ways to study the RNA-metal ion interactions at an atomic l...

An integrated computational method which couples classical molecular dynamics simulations with density functional theory calculations is used to simulate the solid-state NMR spectra of amorphous CaSiO(3). Two CaSiO(3) glass models are obtained by shell-model molecular dynamics simulations, successively relaxed at the GGA-PBE level of theory. The calculation of the NMR parameters (chemical shiel...

Growth of the A549 cell line in a perfusion system suitable for use in a magnetic resonance study has been characterized and shown to be stable physiologically and hence appropriate for serial observations. Several methods of monitoring cell growth were compared to assess the behavior of the cells in this system. Comparison between NMR metabolite data and cell growth via cell counting showed th...

Two novel Sb(III) and Sb(V) peri-substituted acenaphthene phosphorus−antimony compounds were prepared. The compound, 1, was prepared via reacting the organolithium precursor with dichloro(p-tolyl)Stibine, 2 by chlorination of 1. Both 1 characterized multinuclear (1H, 13C 31P) NMR spectroscopy, their molecular structures resolved single-crystal X-ray diffraction. show a dative P−Sb interaction a...

The very early hydration behavior of a hydraulic binder phase, ye’elimite, Ca4Al6O12SO4, in the absence and presence calcium sulfate, has been investigated. A time-resolved situ multinuclear magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic suite involving 1H 27Al MAS as well two-dimensional multiple quantum (MQMAS) experiments employed to detect transient species govern...
