Phosphonium-Boronate Amino Acid Derivatives as Fluoride Pincers for 18F-Labelling
2015
The synthesis of phosphonium-boronate amino acid derivatives was achieved by quaternization of o-boronatophenylphosphine with iodo-amino acid derivatives. Preliminary radiolabelling studies demonst...
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Water + Acetic Acid + Potassium Acetate
2004
Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria for water + acetic acid + potassium acetate at different salt concentrations as well as for solvent + potassium acetate binary mixtures have been obtained at 100 kPa. Potassium acetate is more effective in the salting-out effect (on water) than lithium and sodium acetates. The eNRTL-CT model, which is a combination of electrolyte nonrandom two-liquid and chemical theory models, has been used to fit the experimental data. The binary parameters of the model have been obtained from the experimental binary vapor−liquid equilibria which have been used to suitably reproduce the vapor−liquid equilibria (VLE) for water + acetic acid + potassium acetate ternary syste…
Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity of palladium(II) complexes with some alkyl derivates of thiosalicylic acids: Crystal structure…
2012
Abstract S-Alkyl (R = benzyl, methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl) derivatives of thiosalicylic acid and the corresponding palladium(II) complexes were prepared and their structures were proposed on the basis of infrared, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The cis geometrical configurations of the isolated complexes were proposed on the basis of an X-ray structural study of the bis(S-benzyl-thiosalicylate)–palladium(II), [Pd(S-bz-thiosal)2] complex. Antimicrobial activity of the tested compounds was evaluated by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum microbicidal concentration (MMC) in relation to 26 species of microorganisms. The tested ligands, with a few exceptions, sho…
Stereoselective glycosylation of Alcohols and Silyl Ethers Using Glycosyl Fluorides and Boron Trifluoride Etherate
1985
The stereoselective glycosylation of alcohols and their silyl ethers has been achieved using O-alkyl-, O-acyl-, and acetal-protected glycosyl fluorides of the pyranose and furanose series and boron trifluoride etherate in CH2Cl2.
Divergent reactivity of nucleophilic 1-bora-7a-azaindenide anions
2017
The reactions of 1-bora-7a-azaindenide anions, prepared in moderate to excellent yields by reduction of the appropriate 1-bora-7a-azaindenyl chlorides with KC8 in THF, with alkyl halides and carbon dioxide were studied. With alkyl halides (CH2Cl2, CH3I and BrCH(D)CH(D)tBu), the anions behave as boron anions, alkylating the boron centre via a classic SN2 mechanism. This was established with DFT methods and via experiments utilizing the neo-hexyl stereoprobe BrCH(D)CH(D)tBu. These reactions were in part driven by a re-aromatization of the six membered pyridyl ring upon formation of the product. Conversely, in the reaction of the 1-bora-7a-azaindenide anions with CO2, a novel carboxylation of …

Bis(trimethylammonium)hexane diiodide encapsulates iodine from solution and through a gas/solid reaction yielding in a predictable and controllable manner the selective formation of the rare polyiodide species I(-)...I-I...I(-), which matches in length to the chosen dication.
Study of the role of sulfur functionalities in humic acids for uranium(VI) complexation
2009
Humic substances influence the speciation and migration behavior of toxic and radiotoxic metal ions, such as actinides, in the environment. Depending on their origin, humic substances contain different amounts of sulfur ranging from 0.1 to 3.6% and 0.5 to 1.43% in soil and aquatic humic substances, respectively [1]. Reduced, intermediately oxidized and highly oxidized sulfur functionalities occur in humic substances [1]. Although sulfur functionalities occur in small concentrations, they can play an important role in the complexation of selected metal ions. Knowledge about the impact of sulfur functionalities on the metal ion complexation by humic substances and their significance compared …
From Single Molecules to Nanoscopically Structured Materials: Self-Assembly of Metal Chalcogenide/Metal Oxide Nanostructures Based on the Degree of P…
2011
A chemically specific and facile method for the immobilization of metal oxide nanoparticles onto the surface of IF-MoS2 nested fullerenes is reported. The modification strategy is based on the chalcophilic affinity of transition metals such as Fe2+/Fe3+, Fe3+, or Zn2+ as described by the Pearson HSAB concept. The binding capabilities of the 3d metals are dictated by their Pearson hardness. Pearson hard cations such as Fe3+ (Fe2O3) do not bind to the chalcogenide surfaces; borderline metals such as Fe2+ (Fe3O4) or Zn2+ (ZnO) bind reversibly. Pearson-soft metals like Au bind irreversibly. The immobilization of metal oxide nanoparticle colloids was monitored by transmission electron microscopy…
Hydrogen Bonding in Amorphous Alkaline Earth Carbonates
2018
Amorphous intermediates play a crucial role during the crystallization of alkaline earth carbonates. We synthesized amorphous carbonates of magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium from methanolic solution. The local environment of water and the strength of hydrogen bonding in these hydrated modifications were probed with Fourier transform IR spectroscopy,
Characterization of a Double Metal Cyanide (DMC)-Type Catalyst in the Polyoxypropylation Process: Effects of Catalyst Concentration
2014
The alkaline catalysts commonly applied to alkoxylation are characterized by a limited spectrum of activity caused by an irreversible termination of the polyether chains. The presented results show that double metal cyanide (DMC) catalysts reduce or eliminate the aforementioned adverse rearrangement of hydroxyl groups. Moreover, DMC catalysts indicate high activity at low concentrations (ppm range), as expressed by high polymerization rates. It was demonstrated that decreased concentrations of DMC catalyst irreversibly influence its reactivity and the dispersity of the obtained products, as exemplified by the production and determination of selected polyoxypropylenediols at different concen…
