Ferromagnetism in Cu II 4 and Co II 4 Complexes Derived from Metal‐Assisted Solvolysis of Di‐2,6‐(2‐pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine: Syntheses, Structures, …
2008
Metal-assisted solvolysis of di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyr-idine (pyCOpyCOpy, dpcp) by M(0 2 CMe) 2 ·xH 2 O (M II = Cu II , CO II ) led to complex [Cu 4 {pyC(O) 3 pyC(O)(OEt )py}(O 2 CMe )5-(EtOH) 2 ] (1), when the reaction was carried out in EtOH, and to complex [Co4{pyC(O)(OMe )pyC(O)(OMe )py} 2 (02CMe)2-(N 3 ) 2 ] (2), when the reaction was carried out in MeOH in the presence of azide anions. Complex 1 consists of four Cu II ions bridged by the hemiacetal-gem-diol form of the ligand, which is found in a μ 4 -η 2 :η 2 :η 2 :η 1 :η 1 :η 1 coordination mode. It exhibits ferromagnetic couplings among all nearest neighbors and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interactions (J 12 = J 1 =…
Phosphoraneiminato complexes of manganese and cobalt with heterocubane structure
1999
The phosphoraneiminato complexes [MnBr(NPEt3)]4 (1) and [M4Br5{NP(NMe2)3}3] with M = Mn (2) and M = Co (3) are prepared by melting reactions from the anhydrous metal dibromides with the silylated phosphaneimines Me3SiNPR3 (R = Et, NMe2) in the presence of potassium fluoride. All complexes are characterized by crystal structure analyses. 1 forms an only slightly distorted Mn4N4 heterocubane skeleton with an approximate Td symmetry and short Mn…Mn distances of average 295.7 pm. In the structures of 2 and 3 one μ3-NPEt3 ligand of 1 is replaced by one bromine atom with μ3-function. This leads to the novel heterocubane type M4N3Br with approximate C3 symmetry. The deformation of the cubic skelet…
Copper(II) and nickel(II) chelates with dihydrogen Trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetate(2−) ion (H2CDTA2−). Synthesis, XRD structure a…
1996
Abstract Stoichiometric reactions of metal hydroxycarbonates with the acid trans -1,2-cyclohexanediaminotetraacetic acid (H 4 CDTA) in water under reduced pressure yielded [Cu(H 2 CDTA)]·H 2 O ( I ) and [Ni(H 2 CDTA) (H 2 O)]·4H 2 O ( II ). Both compounds were characterized by TG-DTA analysis, spectral properties (IR, reflectance and RSE) and X-ray diffraction. In I the copper(II) atom exhibits a distorted square-base coordination (type 4+1) by chelation of one H 2 CDTA 2− ligand through two N and two O (carboxylate) at the square base and one O (carboxylic) at the apex of the coordination polyhedron; a second carboxymethyl group of H 2 CDTA 2− remains free. In II the H 2 CDTA 2− chelating …
Fluorescent metal-based complexes as cancer probes.
2020
Abstract The ability to track drugs inside of cells and tumours has been highly valuable in cancer research and diagnosis. Metal complexes add attractive features to fluorescent drugs, such as targeting and specificity, solubility and uptake or photophysical properties. This review focuses on the latest fluorescent metal-based complexes, their cellular targets, photophysical properties and possible anticancer effects.
Effects of Candelilla and Carnauba Wax Incorporation on the Functional Properties of Edible Sodium Caseinate Films
2020
International audience; The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of candelilla (CAN) or carnauba wax (CAR) incorporation on functional properties of edible sodium caseinate (CAS) films. Glycerol and Tween-80 were used as the plasticizer and the emulsifier, respectively. The results showed that the incorporation of waxes increased film opacity, total color differences (∆E), and mechanical resistance and reduced film lightness, water vapor permeability (WVP), and elongation at break. Scanning electron microscopy showed heterogeneous structure of emulsion films with regular distribution of lipid particles. A different internal arrangement was observed as a function of the film composi…
Color change of the bleached enamel treated with calcium silicate- sodium phosphate-sodium monofluorophosphate-based system
2018
Background The increasing demand of tooth bleaching has also increased the need of researches focusing on the durability of the resultant color. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a system based on calcium silicate, sodium phosphate and sodium monofluorophosphate (Regenerate™) on color maintenance of bleached enamel considering two waiting times for the contact with a cola drink. Material and Methods This in vitrostudy was performed on bovine enamel specimens (n = 100), bleached with 35% H2O2 and treated with: G1 Distilled water; G2 Artificial saliva; G3 RegenerateTM Serum and Toothpaste; G4 RegenerateTM Toothpaste; G5 RegenerateTM Serum. The groups G3, G4 and G5 received o…
Spectrophotometric evidence for the solubilization site of betalain pigments in membrane biomimetic systems.
2007
The solubilization site of two betalain pigments, namely, betanin and indicaxantin, into l-alpha-dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) vesicles was investigated by a spectrophotometric study. Pigment absorbance was monitored by varying phospholipid concentration, at a constant temperature that was varied in a range including the main phase transition temperature (Tm) of the relevant phospholipid bilayer. Maximum betanin absorption increased with the increase of DPPC concentration within the entire temperature range, reaching a plateau. The binding constant (Kb) of the pigment, calculated according to a pseudo-two-phase model, varied with the temper…
Magnetically Induced Cavitation for the Dispersion of Particles in Liquid Metals
2018
A contactless excitation of cavitation is possible by superposition of induction heating with a static axial magnetic field. This creates an alternating electromagnetic body force in a liquid metal which in turn produces pressure oscillations. Using this method, the onset of cavitation has been clearly observed in various liquid metals (tin, zinc, aluminum, steel SAE 304) at pressure oscillations in the range of 28…50 kPa. The present study aims to extend the previous work by producing steel metal matrix composites (MMC) and assessing the feasibility of the proposed method for particle dispersion in steel. Stainless steel (SAE 316L) samples with different ceramic inclusions, e.g. TiN, Al2O3…
Scattering Processes in Nanocarbon-Based Nanointerconnects
2017
Cluster approach based on the multiple scattering theory (MST) formalism, realistic analytical and coherent potentials as well as effective medium approximation (EMA–CPA) can be effectively used for nanosized systems modelling. Major attention is paid now to applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with various morphology which possess unique physical properties in nanoelectronics, e.g. contacts of CNTs or GNRs with other conducting elements of a nanocircuit, which can be promising candidates for interconnects in high-speed electronics. The main problems connected with the resistance of C–Me junctions with metal particles appear due to the influence of chirali…
Resistance simulations for junctions of SW and MW carbon nanotubes with various metal substrates
2011
Abstract This theoretical study focuses on junctions between the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and contacting metallic elements of a nanocircuit. Numerical simulations on the conductance and resistance of these contacts have been performed using the multiple scattering theory and the effective media cluster approach. Two models for CNT-metal contacts have been considered in this paper: a) first principles “liquid metal” model and b) semi-empirical model of “effective bonds” based on Landauer notions on ballistic conductivity. Within the latter, which is a more adequate description of chirality effects, we have simulated both single-wall (SW) and multi-wall (MW) CNTs with different morphology. Res…
