Nonlinear hairy layer theory of electrophoretic fingerprinting applied to consecutive layer by layer polyelectrolyte adsorption onto charged polystyr…
1997
The consecutive layer-by-layer adsorption of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) on colloidal charged latex particles is investigated by measuring the electrophoretic mobility as a function of pH and ionic strength over a broad range (electrophoretic fingerprinting). Meaningful interpretation of the data required the development of a nonlinear approach to hairy particle electrophoresis including dissociation, adsorption, and association. Steric and electrostatic exclusion of mobile ions from the hairy layer has been considered. Also, the surface conductivity correction is extended to the case of charged hairy layer particles. We deposited up to three polyel…
Some observations on the fluorometric determination of metallic elements in micellar media
1989
Abstract Experimental evidence is given allowing us to interpret why the detection limits obtained in micellar media are higher than those expected according to fluorescence enhancements for the niobium-lumogallion-tartrate system in the presence of different nonionic surfactants. The residual fluorescence of the surfactant solution and the competitive interaction with micelles between complexes and free ligands were studied. Near the critical micelle concentration of surfactants, remarkable changes in the emission spectra were observed in the case of both complex and free ligand solutions, which indicate the existence of interactions between the chemical system and surfactant monomers and …
Hypervalent tin-organic compounds: Vibrational spectroscopy in the solid as a tool for structure determination
1997
Abstract A full set of IR- and Raman spectra down from 600 cm1 has been determined and assigned for 60 penta- or hexacoordinated tin-compounds in the groups RSn(CH2CH2CH2)3N (R = Cl, Br, I, Me), RR'Sn(MCH2CH2)2X (R,R′ = Cl, Br, I, Me, Ph, M = CH2 S; X = NMe, O, S), RPh2SnCH2CH2CH2NMe2 (R = Cl, Br, I) and RMe2Sn—CHD—COOMe (R = F, Cl, Br, I, Me). In these hypervalent compounds an approach of the donor atom X to the central atom tin outlines a ‘path’ of nucleophilic attack from a tetrahedron to a trigonal bipyramid. Along this ‘reaction path’ the bond lengths of the axial ligand increase continuously while the bond lengths of the equatorial ligands slightly decrease. The number of similar hype…
3D-transition metal mono-substituted Keggin polyoxotungstate with an antenna molecule: synthesis, structure and characterization
2008
Three new organic-inorganic hybrid complexes based on 3d-transition metal monosubstituted Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs) with imidazole (Im) as pendant ligands, formulated as (HIm)(6-)[SiW11O39NiIm]0.8[SiW11O39Ni(H2O)]0.2.7H2O (1), (Im)4Na6[SiW11O39MnIm]0.69[SiW11O39Mn(H2O)]0.31.7.5H2O (2) and (HIm)6[SiW11O39CoIm]0.63[SiW11O39Co(H2O)]0.37.7H2O (3), have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, elemental analysis, TG analysis, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic properties, EPR and single-crystal/powder X-ray diffraction. The structural analyses indicate that the 3d metal atoms are incorporated into the vacancy of the alpha-[SiW11O39](8-) (SiW11). Complexes 1-…
Synthesis and X-ray structure of cationic β-diimine palladium complexes containing π-methallyl ligand
2005
High yield of cationic palladium β-diimine complexes [(CH 2 (MeCNAr) 2 )Pd(η 3 -C 4 H 7 )][Y] (Ar = C 6 H 5 , Y = PF 6 (8); 2-Me-C 6 H 4 , Y = PF 6 (9); 2,6-Me 2 -C 6 H 3 , Y = PF 6 (10); 2,6-iPr 2 -C 6 H 3 , Y = PF 6 (11), Y = B(3,5-(CF 3 ) 2 -C 6 H 3 ) 4 (12)) have been obtained by an oxidative addition of the methallyloxyphosphonium salts (5, 6) to a preformed complex Pd(dba) 2 (7) in the presence of the β-iminoamine ligands (1-4). These complexes are thermally stable and have been characterized by 'H and 1 3 C{ 1 H} NMR as well as IR spectroscopy. The structure of the cationic allyl palladium complex (12) has been solved by X-ray crystallography.
Synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, NMR characterization and theoretical calculations on [Cp2Ta(η2-H2)(CO)]+, the first thermally stable group 5 dihy…

Protonation of Cp2TaH(CO) (Cp = C5H5, 1a; C5H4But, 1b) by HBF4·Et2O at −78 °C in CH2Cl2 affords [Cp2TaH2(CO)]BF4 (2, 3) as mixtures of 2 isomers. The minor ones (2a, 2b) contain the known trans-dihydride [Cp2TaH2(CO)]+ cations whereas the major ones (3a, 3b) are [Cp2Ta(η2-H2)(CO)]BF4, the first group 5 dihydrogen complexes. The crystal structure of the analogous complex 3a·BArf4 recorded at 120 K confirms the presence of the coordinated dihydrogen ligand, which displays an H–H separation of 1.09(2) A in agreement with distances calculated from NMR data. Protonation of Cp2TaH2(SiMe2Ph) by (Et2O)2 ·HBArf4 does not lead to an analogous silane derivative but to the new dinuclear complex [(Cp2…
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…
A 4-tert-butylcalix[4]arene tetrahydroxamate podand based on the 1-oxypiperidine-2-one (1,2-PIPO−) chelate. Self-assembly into a supramolecular ionop…
2014
An octadentate tetrahydroxamic calix[4]arene podand incorporating 1-hydroxypiperidine-2-one (1,2-PIPOH) binding units has been designed as a specific chelator for tetravalent metal cations like Zr4+ or Hf4+. This receptor, which can be considered as the first ever abiotic ligand possessing only cyclic six-membered hydroxamate groups, has been synthesized and characterized in its tetraprotonated form (1H4). Contrary to expectation, however, this new chelator did not form a 1 : 1 complex upon reaction with M(acac)4 (M = Zr and Hf; acac = acetylacetonate), but rather self-assembled into a dimeric species of 2 : 2 stoichiometry. The latter could be characterized in solution by mass spectrometry…
Toward luminescence vapochromism of tetranuclear AuI-Cu I clusters
2013
A family of triphosphine gold–copper clusters bearing aliphatic and hydroxyaliphatic alkynyl ligands of general formula [HC(PPh2)3Au3Cu(C2R)3]+ (R = cyclohexyl (1), cyclopentyl (2), But (3), cyclohexanolyl (4), cyclopentanolyl (5), 2,6-dimethylheptanolyl (6), 2-methylbutanolyl (7), diphenylmethanolyl (8)) was synthesized via a self-assembly protocol, which involves treatment of the (AuC2R)n acetylides with the (PPh2)3CH ligand in the presence of Cu+ ions and NEt3. Addition of Cl– or Br– anions to complex 8 results in coordination of the halides to the copper atoms to give neutral HC(PPh2)3Au3CuHal(C2COHPh2)3 derivatives (Hal = Cl (9), Br (10)). The title compounds were characterized by NMR …
Scanning Force Microscopy of Artificial Membranes
2002
Visualization of biological membranes by scanning force microscopy (SFM) has tremendously improved the current understanding of protein ‐ lipid interactions under physiological conditions. SFM is the only tool to directly image processes on surfaces in aqueous solution at molecular resolution. Besides being a supportive means to confirm results on lipid phases and domains obtained from fluorescence spectroscopy, calorimetry, and X-ray crystallography, SFM has contributed distinct aspects on the formation of 2D crystals of various membrane-confined proteins and morphological changes of membranes due to the interaction of peptides and proteins. This review will focus on recent results in SFM …
