Organometallic complexes with biological molecules II. Synthesis, solid-state characterization andin vivo Cytotoxicity of Diorganotin(IV)chloro and T…
1994
Several new diorganotin(IV)chloro and triorganotin(IV)chloro penicillin G derivatives have been prepared. The isolated compounds showed 1:1 stoichiometry, with formulae R2SnClpenG and R3SnClpenGNa, respectively (penG− = penicillin G− = 4- thia - 1 - azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate, 3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-(2-phenylacet-amido) anion; R = Me, Bu, Ph). The coordination environment around the the tin(IV) atom, in all of the complexes, was trigonal bipyramidal. Penicillin G behaved as a monoanionic, bismonodentate ligand in R2SnClpenG through the β-lactamic carbonyl and unidentate ester-type carboxylate anion, and as unidentate through the β-lactamic carbonyl in R3SnClpenGNa, as inferred on …
Structural characterization of triorganotin(IV) complexes with sodium fusidate and DFT calculations
2010
Abstract Three new complexes of the steroid sodium fusidate (sodium 2-[(1 S ,2 S ,5 R ,6 S ,7 S ,10 S ,11 S ,13 S , 14 Z ,15 R ,17 R )-13-(acetyloxy)-5,17-dihydroxy-2,6,10,11-tetramethyl tetracyclo[8.7.0.0 2,7 .0 11,15 ] heptadecan-14-ylidene]-6-methylhept-5-enoate = (NaFusidate, Na FA )]), with triorganotin(IV) moieties have been prepared and investigated by conventional techniques as FTIR, Mossbauer, ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopy. The isolated compounds showed stoichiometries organotin(IV)/fusidate 1/1, R 3 Sn(IV) FA (R = Me, FA1 ; Bu, FA2 ; Ph, FA3 ). The ligand coordination sites were determined by FTIR spectroscopic measurements. In the complexes, the carboxylate group of the fusidate li…
Tests of General Relativity with GW170817
2019
The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this new type of source. This source, for the first time, permits tests of strong-field dynamics of compact binaries in presence of matter. In this paper, we place constraints on the dipole radiation and possible deviations from GR in the post-Newtonian coefficients that govern the inspiral regime. Bounds on modified dispersion of gravitational waves are obtained; in combination with information from the observed electromagnetic counterpart we can also constrain effects due to large extra dimensions. Finally, the polari…
Revisiting the charge density analysis of 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone at 20 K
2017
A high-resolution X-ray diffraction measurement of 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ) at 20 K was carried out. The experimental charge density was modeled using the Hansen–Coppens multipolar expansion and the topology of the electron density was analyzed in terms of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). Two different multipole models, predominantly differentiated by the treatment of the chlorine atom, were obtained. The experimental results have been compared to theoretical results in the form of a multipolar refinement against theoretical structure factors and through direct topological analysis of the electron density obtained from the optimized periodic wavefunction. The si…
On the application of an experimental multipolar pseudo-atom library for accurate refinement of small-molecule and protein crystal structures
2007
International audience; With an increasing number of biomacromolecular crystal structures being measured to ultra-high resolution, it has become possible to extend to large systems experimental charge-density methods that are usually applied to small molecules. A library has been built of average multipole populations describing the electron density of chemical groups in all 20 amino acids found in proteins. The library uses the Hansen & Coppens multipolar pseudo-atom model to derive molecular electron density and electrostatic potential distributions. The library values are obtained from several small peptide or amino acid crystal structures refined against ultra-high-resolution X-ray diff…
Levels of 137Cs in game and soil in Opole Anomaly, Poland in 2012–2020
2021
Abstract Once deposited, radiocesium remains in the environment for a long time, and constantly enters the food chain. Over time, game species tend to accumulate 137Cs by two orders of magnitude more than farm animals. This occurs especially in places heavily contaminated, thus meat products made out of local game should be treated with caution. One of such areas, known as the Opole Anomaly, is located in South-Western Poland and represents one of most 137Cs contaminated regions across Europe after the Chernobyl accident. The aim of the study was to find out the 137Cs activity in soil and local game, the value of the soil-to-game aggregated transfer factor and to assess the effective dose o…

Surface Lattice Resonances in Self-Assembled Arrays of Monodisperse Ag Cuboctahedra
2019
Plasmonic metal nanoparticles arranged in periodic arrays can generate surface lattice plasmon resonances (SLRs) with high Q-factors. These collective resonances are interesting because the associated electromagnetic field is delocalized throughout the plane of the array, enabling applications such as biosensing and nanolasing. In most cases such periodic nanostructures are created via top-down nanofabrication processes. Here we describe a capillary-force-assisted particle assembly method (CAPA) to assemble monodisperse single-crystal colloidal Ag cuboctahedra into nearly defect-free >1 cm2 hexagonal lattices. These arrays are large enough to be measured with conventional ultraviolet-visibl…
A new bi-faced log periodic printed antenna
2005
In this paper, a new design of a broadband planar printed antenna based on the academic log periodic antenna is presented. The antenna consists of a series of printed dipoles, distributed on both faces of the substrate. Some configurations are explored, with a different number of printed dipoles. These are designed, simulated, fabricated, and measured. The calculated and measured return losses and radiation patterns are presented. The utility of the proposed antenna associated with its frequency bandwidth is better than 80%. The measured absolute gain is 6.5 dBi, and the front-to-back ratio is around 8 dB. The presented antenna should find wide applications in wireless communication systems…
Dual-band printed dipole antenna for Wi-Fi 802.11n applications
2010
A dual-band compact printed dipole antenna for Wi-Fi 802.11n applications in the 2.45 and 5.5 GHz bands is presented. The proposed antenna consists of two printed dipoles with the arms located onto both sides of the dielectric substrate and a bended stripline. This feed scheme makes easy the integration of the antenna with the electronic subsystem and avoids the radiation towards the device. For the design and optimisation, a specifically developed finite-difference time-domain based code is used. The antenna has then been fabricated, simulated and measured. The return losses highly match the Wi-Fi frequency specifications with a moderate gain (between 1 and 3 dBi) and efficiency better tha…
