Aggregation versus Biological Activity in Gold(I) Complexes. An Unexplored Concept
2021
The aggregation process of a series of mono- and dinuclear gold(I) complexes containing a 4-ethynylaniline ligand and a phosphane at the second coordination position (PR3-Au-C≡CC6H4-NH2, complexes 1-5, and (diphos)(Au-C≡CC6H4-NH2)2, complexes 6-8), whose biological activity was previously studied by us, has been carefully analyzed through absorption, emission, and NMR spectroscopy, together with dynamic light scattering and small-angle X-ray scattering. These experiments allow us to retrieve information about how the compounds enter the cells. It was observed that all compounds present aggregation in fresh solutions, before biological treatment, and thus they must be entering the cells as a…
Electron paramagnetic resonance and magnetic circular dichroism of Gd3+ ions in oxyfluoride glass–ceramics containing CaF2 nanocrystals
2015
Abstract Magnetic resonance investigations of the Gd3 + centre structure in the oxyfluoride glass and glass–ceramics (GCs) have been carried out. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements showed the presence of low symmetry Gd3 + centres in the glass sample. The cubic Gd3 + centre appeared in the glass–ceramics after heat treatment of the samples at temperatures above 650 °C. The magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) measurements of both glass and glass–ceramics showed wide absorption band around 310 nm. In the GC samples MCD–EPR of the cubic Gd3 + centre has been detected.
XAFS studies of local atomic structure of niobium tellurides
1997
Abstract We present XAFS (K-edge) studies of the local atomic structure around the Nb and Te ions in niobium tellurides (NbTe 2 , Nb 3 Te 4 and NbTe 4 ) in comparison with ZrTe 2 . Using a multi-shell best-fit analysis procedure, we have reconstructed local environments of the Nb and Te ions and compared them with the existing structural models. We found that at the Nb K-edge the XAFS data of NbTe 4 are extremely sensitive to metal clustering and to the subsequent departure from the average crystallographic positions. Moreover, at the Te K-edge the XAFS data allowed us to distinguished the different type of TeTe bonds, for instance: the dimer (TeTe: 2.9 A) and the squares (TeTe: 3.3 A) i…
Nonlinear optical spectra of conjugated polymers: Effect of long-range coulomb interactions
1993
Abstract Nonlinear optical spectra of conjugated polymers are theoretically studied in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model supplemented by long-range Coulomb interactions. Excitonic correlation for electron-hole excitations in explicitly taken into account by a standard method. Nonlinear susceptibilities χ (3) are calculated numerically with a standard sum-over-states method for finite chains (up to 1000 sites). Using moderate interaction strength, our calculations can reproduce many distinct features observed in the linear and nonlinear spectra (two-photon absorption, third-harmonic generation, and electroabsorption) of polydiacetylenes and some other polymers. Especially, a hump in the spectru…
Zur Frage der Resorption von Polyphosphaten
1965
Zur Klarung der Frage nach der Resorption von Polyphosphaten wurden Losungen von32P-markiertem Diphosphat, Triphosphat und einem Natriumpolyphosphat mit 64% P2O5 Ratten mit der Schlundsonde appliziert. Nach einer Verweildauer von 1, 2, 4, 8 und 16 Std dieser Polyphosphate im Magen-Darmtrakt wurden die Ratten dekapitiert und das erhaltene Frischblut radiometrisch und papierchromatographisch untersucht. Im enteiweisten Vollblut konnten nur Monophosphat und AMP nachgewiesen werden, d. h. es wird ausschlieslich anorganisches Monophosphat resorbiert, das durch enzymatische Aufspaltung der Polyphosphate gebildet wird. Dieses Monophosphat wird dann in die organische Bindung der AMP ubergefuhrt und…
Using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry for the characterization of functionalized carbon nanotubes
2013
RATIONALE Functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) generates complex systems that require the development of suitable characterization protocols. New techniques have been explored, and existing analytical and spectroscopic methods to characterize functionalized CNTs have been adapted. Presently, chemical characterization of functionalized CNTs (f-CNTs) remains a difficult task. METHODS Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) analysis is performed on f-MWCNT samples prepared via grafting or absorption of anti-oxidant (AO) molecules on both MWCNT-COOH and MWCNT-OH. Covalently functionalized MWCNTs were subjected to thermal degradation and/or hydrolysis reaction before analysis…
Methylium Ions with OPV Chains − New NIR Dyes
2001
Carbinols, which contain three OPV chains, were generated in convergent syntheses. The extension of the conjugation leads to a bathochromic effect that shifts the absorption from the UV into the visible region. The carbinol series has a convergence limit of the absorption at λmax = 415 nm. The corresponding carbenium ions exhibit a stronger bathochromic shift with the increasing number of repeating units in each chain. Thus, NIR dyes were obtained which show a convergence limit at λmax = 879 nm. The charge distribution in the ground state of the carbocations is discussed on the basis of 13C NMR spectroscopic data.
Monodisperse Oligo(2,5-dipropoxy-1,4-phenyleneethynylene)s
2002
Oligo(phenyleneethynylene)s 1 are rod-like compounds with undisturbed conjugation. In supplementation of the previously described members of this series 1a−e, with repeating units of up to n = 5, this work contains the preparation of higher oligomers 1f−i (n = 6, 7, 8, 10) through the use of the Sonogashira−Hagihara reaction. Both the absorption and the fluorescence bands showed convergence for increasing values of n, reaching limiting values at the effective conjugation length of nECL = 10.

Crystal and molecular structure of anhydrous betaine, (CH3)3NCH2CO2
1999
Abstract 1–Carboxy–N,N,N–trimethylmethanamanium inner salt or anhydrous betaine, (CH3)3NCH2CO2, FW=117.15 gmol −1 , crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a=14.544(2) A , b=6.859(3) A , c=6.131(1) A , V=611.7(3) A 3 , Z=4, D x =1.27 Mgm −3 , λ (MoK α )=0.71073 A , μ =0.091 mm −1 . The structure was resolved by direct methods and refined by least-square calculations to R=0.038 for 531 reflections. Observed changes in bond angles imply that there is a repulsion between nitrogen and oxygen. The melting point (measured at onset) is 570 K. FTIR spectra of anhydrous betaine and monohydrate were recorded. Clear differences were found between the two compounds based on infrared (i.r…
Impact of the synergistic collaboration of oligothiophene bridges and ruthenium complexes on the optical properties of dumbbell-shaped compounds.
2012
The linear and non-linear optical properties of a family of dumbbell-shaped dinuclear complexes, in which an oligothiophene chain with various numbers of rings (1, 3, and 6) acts as a bridge between two homoleptic tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes, have been fully investigated by using a range of spectroscopic techniques (absorption and luminescence, transient absorption, Raman, and non-linear absorption), together with density functional theory calculations. Our results shed light on the impact of the synergistic collaboration between the electronic structures of the two chemical moieties on the optical properties of these materials. Experiments on the linear optical properties …
