Strongly Red-Emissive Molecular Ruby [Cr(bpmp)2]3+ Surpasses [Ru(bpy)3]2+
2021
Gaining chemical control over the thermodynamics and kinetics of photoexcited states is paramount to an efficient and sustainable utilization of photoactive transition metal complexes in a plethora of technologies. In contrast to energies of charge transfer states described by spatially separated orbitals, the energies of spin-flip states cannot straightforwardly be predicted as Pauli repulsion and the nephelauxetic effect play key roles. Guided by multireference quantum chemical calculations, we report a novel highly luminescent spin-flip emitter with a quantum chemically predicted blue-shifted luminescence. The spin-flip emission band of the chromium complex [Cr(bpmp)2]3+ (bpmp = 2,6-bis(…
Cell expression of GDAP1 in the nervous system and pathogenesis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4A disease
2007
Abstract Mutations in the mitochondrial protein GDAP1 are the cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4A disease (CMT4A), a severe form of peripheral neuropathy associated with either demyelinating, axonal or intermediate pheno-types. GDAP1 is located in the outer mitochondrial membrane and it seems that may be related with the mitochondrial network dynamics. We are interested to define cell expression in the nervous system and the effect of mutations in mitochondrial morphology and pathogenesis of the disease. We investigated GDAP1 expression in the nervous system and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neuron cultures. GDAP1 is expressed in motor and sensory neurons of the spinal cord and other large neu…
Ni-Cr based dental alloys; Ni release, corrosion and biological evaluation.
2011
Abstract In the last years the dental alloy market has undergone dramatic changes for reasons of economy and biocompatibility. Nickel based alloys have become widely used substitute for the much more expensive precious metal alloys. In Europe the prevalence of nickel allergy is 10–15% for female adults and 1–3% for male adults. Despite the restrictions imposed by the EU for the protection of the general population in contact dermatitis, the use of Ni–Cr dental alloys is on the increase. Some questions have to be faced regarding the safety risk of nickel contained in dental alloys. We have collected based on many EU markets, 8 Ni–Cr dental alloys. Microstructure characterization, corrosion r…
Polynitrile anions as ligands: Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of a new three-dimensional coordination polymer with the 2-dicyanomethyle…
2005
cited By 12; International audience; Reaction between CuCl2 and K2tcpd (tcpd2- = C[C(CN)2]32- = 2-dicyanomethylenc-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropanediide anion) in presence of the neutral ligand tn (1,3-diaminopropane) in aqueous solution yields the new compound [Cu(tn)(tcpd)] (1) which was characterized by X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure of 1 consists of one [Cu(tn)]2+ unit and one tcpd2- anion, both located on general positions. Each Cu atom presents an essentially octahedral coordination with four nitrogen atoms arising from four polynitrile ligands and two nitrogen atoms from the chelating tn ligand. Despite its six nitrile groups potentially bridging, the tcpd ligand acts with a μ…
Silicatein conjugation inside nanoconfined geometries through immobilized NTA–Ni(ii) chelates
2013
The chemical modification and bioconjugation processes inside confined geometries by His-tagged silicatein promote sensitive changes in the polarity and surface charge density that mainly contribute to the ionic current rectification properties of the single conical nanopores.
Label-free histamine detection with nanofluidic diodes through metal ion displacement mechanism
2017
[EN] We design and characterize a nanofluidic device for the label-free specific detection of histamine neurotransmitter based on a metal ion displacement mechanism. The sensor consists of an asymmetric polymer nanopore fabricated via ion track-etching technique. The nanopore sensor surface having metal-nitrilotriacetic (NTA-Ni2+) chelates is obtained by covalent coupling of native carboxylic acid groups with N-alpha,N-alpha-bis(carboxymethyl)-L-lysine (BCML), followed by exposure to Ni2+ ion solution. The BCML immobilization and subsequent Ni2+ ion complexation with NTA moieties change the surface charge concentration, which has a significant impact on the current-voltage (I-V) curve after…
Formation of layered titania and zirconia catalysed by surface-bound silicatein
2005
Silicatein immobilised on self-assembled polymer layers using a histidine-tag chelating anchor group retains its hydrolytical activity for the formation of biosilica, and catalyses the formation of layered arrangements of biotitania and biozirconia.
Magneto-structural and theoretical study of the weak interactions in a Mn(II) complex with a very unusual N,O-chelating coordination mode of 2-aminot…
2017
International audience; The Mn(II) complex {[Mn(atpa)(H2O)2]·H2O}n (1),with the dicarboxylate ligand 2-aminoterephthalic acid (H2atpa), has been synthesized and crystallographically, spectroscopically and magnetically characterized. Complex 1 shows a very unusual 1κ2N,O coordination mode of the aminoterephthalate dianion with the Mn(II) ion. One of the carboxylate groups shows a syn-anti-μ2-η1:η1 binding mode to form a 2D square grid. The magnetic properties of this compound can be very well reproduced with a regular S = 5/2 chain model with a very weak antiferromagnetic coupling constant of J = −0.2 cm−1 through the single syn-anti carboxylate bridges. EPR measurement also supports the exp…
Analysis of the infectious entry pathway of human papillomavirus type 33 pseudovirions.
2002
AbstractHuman papillomavirus type 33 (HPV-33) pseudovirus infection is a slow process dependent on the initial interaction with cell-surface heparan sulfate (T. Giroglou, L. Florin, F. Schafer, R. E. Streeck, and M. Sapp, 2001a, J. Virol. 75, 1565–1570). We have now further dissected the initial steps of pseudovirus uptake using removal of cell-surface proteoglycans and selective inhibition of entry pathways. Treatment of cells with heparinase I, but not with phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C (PIPLC), prevented binding of papillomavirus-like particles and infection with HPV-33 pseudovirions, indicating that GPI-linked proteoglycans (glypicans) are not required for productive infectio…

2005
Abstract Tri-organotin(IV) complexes of the triazolo-pyrimidine derivatives 4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-[1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5 a ]pyrimidine (5HtpO), 4,7-dihydro-5-methyl-7-oxo-[1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5 a ]pyrimidine (HmtpO), and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-5,7-dioxo-[1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5 a ]pyrimidine (H 2 tpO 2 ), and the diorganotin derivative n -Bu 2 Sn(tpO 2 ), were synthesized and characterized by means of infrared and 119 Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy. In all the complexes obtained the triazolopyrimidines act as multidentate ligands producing polymeric structures. A trigonal bipyramidal arrangement of the ligands around the tin atom is proposed for triorganotin(IV) derivatives, with organic groups on the equatoria…
