Modeling of the role of conformational dynamics in kinetics of the antigen-antibody interaction in heterogeneous phase.
2012
[EN] A novel approach that may potentially be used to study biomolecular interactions including the simultaneous determination of structural and kinetic binding parameters is described in this Article for the first time. It allows a rigid distinction between the possible reaction mechanisms of biomolecular recognition, induced fit and conformational selection. The relative importance of the two pathways is determined not by comparing rate constants but the structural aspects of the interaction instead. So the exact location of antigen molecules with respect to the capture antibody is depicted experimentally, avoiding the use of X-ray crystallography. The proposed pattern is applied to study…
Chiral self-sorting behaviour of [2.2]paracyclophane-based bis(pyridine) ligands
2019
Two constitutionally isomeric chiral bis(pyridine) ligands based on planar chiral 4,15-difunctionalized [2.2]paracyclophanes were synthesized, the respective enantiomers were separated via HPLC on a chiral stationary phase, and their self-assembly behaviour upon coordination to palladium(ii) ions was studied with regard to chiral self-sorting effects. As proven by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, CD spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography both ligands form the expected dinuclear complexes upon coordination to cis-protected di- or tetravalent palladium(ii) ions, respectively, however, with distinct differences concerning their chiral self-sorting ability. peerReviewed
Metal Doping of Au25(SR)18- Clusters : Insights and Hindsights
2019
The structure, properties, and applications of atomically precise gold nanoclusters are the object of active research worldwide. Over the last few years, research has been also focusing on selective doping of metal nanoclusters through introduction of foreign-metal atoms. Doping has been studied for several clusters, especially the atomically precise Au25(SR)18. Doping has been carried out with noble metals, such as platinum, and less noble metals, such as cadmium and mercury, also because of the ease by which monodoping can be achieved with these metals. Previous studies, which relied extensively on the use of mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray crystallography, led to assign the sp…
Unexpected behaviour of copper(I) towards a tridentate Schiff base: Synthesis, structure and properties of new Cu(I)-Cu(II) and Cu(II) complexes
2001
cited By 17; International audience; The reaction of CuBr with 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine L afforded a new Cu(I)-Cu(II) derivative [CuBrL]2[Cu2Br4] (1), while the reaction of [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 with L in THF yielded the new Cu(I) compound CuL(THF)(CH3CN)PF6 (2). Derivative 2 further reacted with halogenated solvents to yield halogeno-Cu(II) salts, [CuClL]PF6 (3) using CHCl3 and [CuBrL]Br3 (4) using CHBr3. Compounds 1, 3 and 4 have been fully characterised by X-ray crystallography; they contain essentially similar [CuXL]+ cations with a square planar copper(II) co-ordination. However, the structure of compound 1 must be viewed as built of tetranuclear units since two […
A two-dimensional magnetic architecture with bridging polynitrile and 2,2′-bipyrimidine ligands
2004
cited By 7; International audience; A new polymeric, two-dimensional compound [Co2(bpym)(dcne) 4 (H2O)2] (1) (dcne = [(CN)2CC(O) OEt)]- = 2,2-dicyano-1-ethoxyethenolate anion and bpym = 2,2'-bipyrimidine) has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The structure is monoclinic space group P21/a and consists of two-dimensional networks of octahedrally coordinated Co(II) ions, bridged by bis-bidentate 2,2'-bipyrimidine and μ2-dcne anions. Magnetic measurements revealed a broad maximum in the xm vs T plot at 20 K which is characteristic of antiferromagnetic exchange between the high spin cobalt(II) centres. © EDP Sciences.
New charge transfer salts of two organic π-donors of the tetrathiafulvalene type with the paramagnetic [Cr(NCS)6]3- anion
2003
cited By 9; International audience; The electrochemical combination of the paramagnetic anion [Cr(NCS)6]3- with the organic π-donors bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET) and 4,5-bis(2-hydroxyethylthio) -4′,5′-ethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalene (DHET-EDTTTF) leads to two new radical cation salts, namely (ET)4 [Cr(NCS 6]·PhCN 1 and (DHET-EDTTTF)2 (NEt4)[Cr(NCS)6] 2. Both have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, magnetic and resistivity measurements. The structure of 1 consists of alternating inorganic layers generated by the anions and organic layers in which the PhCN molecules are inserted; the organic sub-lattice is built up from four different ET units, three of them with a ch…
Synthesis, structural studies and reactivity of vanadium complexes with tridentate (OSO) ligand
2007
The direct reaction between [VCl3(thf)3] or [VO(OEt)3] and 2,2′-thiobis{4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-butyl)phenol (tbopH2) leads to the formation of [V2(µ-tbop-κ3O,S,O)2Cl2(CH3CN)2] (1)·4CH3CN or [V2(µ-OEt)2(O)2(tbop-κ3O,S,O)2] (2), respectively, in high yield. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by chemical and physical techniques including X-ray crystallography and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility studies (J = −29.1 cm−1) for 1. Complexes 1 and 2 were supported on MgCl2 and when activated with aluminium alkyls, were found to effectively polymerize ethene to produce polyethylene with a narrow molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn ∼ 3.
