Very strong −N–X+⋯−O–N+ halogen bonds
2016
A new (-)N-X(+)(-)O-N(+) paradigm for halogen bonding is established by using an oxygen atom as an unusual halogen bond acceptor. The strategy yielded extremely strong halogen bonded complexes with very high association constants characterized in either CDCl3 or acetone-d6 solution by (1)H NMR titrations and in the solid-state by single crystal X-ray analysis. The obtained halogen bond interactions, RXB, in the solid-state are found to be in the order of strong hydrogen bonds, viz. RXB ≈ RHB.
Reduction and catalytic behaviour of heterobimetallic copper–lanthanide oxides
2008
Abstract The reduction of the heterobimetallic copper–lanthanide oxides 2CuO·CeO2 and 3CuO·Ln2CuO4 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd) was studied by H2-TG/DTA and H2-TPR. All systems exhibit two main reduction steps accompanied by mass losses in the temperature range 20–1000 °C. The first step was attributed to CuO reduction, whereas the second step is due either to copper reduction in the Ln2CuO4 phase with the concomitant formation of Ln2O3 or to the surface reduction of CeO2. The products were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, and BET techniques and are better described as supported copper type materials. They were active for the mesityl oxide (4-methyl-2-penten-2-one) gas phase hydrogenation.
Pneumococcal histidine triads – involved not only in Zn2+, but also Ni2+ binding?
2018
Polyhistidine triad proteins, which participate in Zn2+ uptake in Streptococcus pneumoniae, contain multiple copies of the HxxHxH (histidine triad motif) sequence. We focus on three such motifs from one of the most common and well-conserved polyhistidine triad proteins, PhtA, in order to understand their bioinorganic chemistry; particular focus is given to (i) understanding which of the PhtA triads binds Zn2+ with the highest affinity (and why) and (ii) explaining whether Ni2+ (also crucial for bacterial survival and virulence) could potentially outcompete Zn2+ at its native binding site. There is no significant difference in the stability of zinc(II) complexes with the three studied protei…
Asymmetric [N–I–N]+halonium complexes in solution?
2020
Assessment of the solution equilibria of [bis(pyridine)iodine(I)]+ complexes by ESI-MS and NMR reveals the preference of iodine(I) to form complexes with a more basic pyridine. Mixtures of symmetric [bis(pyridine)iodine(I)]+ complexes undergo statistical ligand exchange, with a predominant entropic driving force favoring asymmetric systems. The influence of ligand basicity, concentration, temperature, and ligand composition is evaluated. Our findings are expected to facilitate the investigations, and the supramolecular and synthetic applications of halonium ions’ halogen bonds. peerReviewed
Surfactant-assisted synthesis of Cd1−xCoxS nanocluster alloys and their structural, optical and magnetic properties
2010
We report the synthesis of Co-doped CdS nanoclusters (Cd1−xCoxS) for different doping concentrations (x = 0.10, 0.20 and 0.30) and characterization of their structural, optical, and magnetic properties. The structural properties studied by X-ray diffraction revealed hexagonal-greenockite structure and a decrease of the lattice parameters (a and c) with doping, showing incorporation of Co in the lattice. The morphology of the nanoclusters was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The optical absorption studies, using diffused reflectance spectroscopy, revealed that Co doping modifies the absorption band edge. Ferromagnetic phase was observed in the magnetization measurements at room-tempe…
Potent affinity material for tracing acetone and related analytes based on molecular recognition by halogen bonds.
2014
Affinity materials based on halogen bonds turned out to be a powerful tool for the molecular recognition of acetone or related carbonyl compounds in the presence of ubiquitous protic molecules. The superior selectivity and sensitivity were found by the gravimetric detection of volatile organic compounds by quartz crystal microbalances.
Inhibitoren der Korrosion 25(1) - Über die Rolle der Kationen in Neutralsalzen bei der Korrosion von Eisenwerkstoffen in Gegenwart von Sauerstoff
1979
Die Geschwindigkeit des Sauerstoffverbrauchs bei der Korrosion von jeweils 500 mg DAB6-Eisenpulver wird in Abhangigkeit von der Art des Kations in Neutralsalzen (Chloriden) unter Standardbedingungen bestimmt. In Gegenwart von Alkali-, Quartaren Ammonium, Quartaren Phosphonium-und Erdalkalichloriden ist die Geschwindigkeit des Sauerstoffverbrauches vergleichbar gros. Mit Zink-, Cadmium-, Nickel-und Kobaltchloriden wird aber im Bereich von pH5 bis pH7 eine uberraschend grose Verzogerung der Sauerstoffaufnahme beobachtet. Es handelt sich mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit um eine Blockade der kathodischen Bezirke in der Eisengrenzflache durch Abscheidung der schwerloslichen basischen Hydroxyde von Z…
Iron(iii) oxamato-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes by dioxygen and pivalaldehyde
1997
A new iron(III)–carbonato monomeric complex of orthophenylenebis( oxamato) (opba) 1 is synthesized, and spectroscopically and structurally characterized; it is a moderately efficient non-heme catalyst for the aerobic epoxidation of alkenes with co-oxidation of pivalaldehyde.

Tetraiodoethynyl resorcinarene cavitands as multivalent halogen bond donors
2014
The first examples of iodoethynyl resorcinarene cavitands as rigid 3D halogen bond (XB) donor molecules are presented. These concave macrocycles form strong, RXB = 0.78–0.83, halogen bonds with dioxane oxygen, pyridine nitrogen and a bromide anion in tetraproropyl ammonium bromide resulting in deep cavity cavitand structures.

2010
Graphitically encapsulated cobalt nanocrystal assemblies are chemically prepared by one-pot reaction at380 degrees C followed by a reversed etching process to produce porous graphitic structure for revealing their self-assembling nature.
