N-Glycosylamines of 4,6-O-ethylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranose: synthesis, characterisation and structure of CO2H, Cl and F ortho-substituted phenyl deri…
2000
A saccharide based ligand suitable for metal binding (HLCOOH) has been synthesized using 4,6-O-ethylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranose (4,6-O-EGP) and anthranilic acid. A few analogous glycosylamines with chloro and fluoro ortho substitutions have also been synthesized and characterised. Complexes of HLCOOH with Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+ have been isolated and characterised fully. The crystal structures of 4,6-O-EGP, the chloro analogue of HLCOOH and the K+ complex of L-COOH are established. The anomeric nature, orientation of the binding core and the co-ordination aspects of K+ have been derived from these structures.
Azacoronands and Azacyclophanes
2012
Azacycloalkanes and azacyclophanes are among the first macrocyclic ligands developed in the field of supramolecular chemistry. Since they are polyamines, they show dual nature in the coordination of both metal cations, when they are in the free-base form, and anionic species, when they are protonated. As a matter of fact, they played a key role in the birth of macrocyclic chemistry of transition metal complexes and anion coordination chemistry. Furthermore, azacyclophanes fostered also the birth of apolar complexation in aqueous solution, since their aromatic units act as binding sites for apolar substrates. Keywords: azacycloalkanes; azacyclophanes; metal complexes; anion complexes; apolar…
Chromatography of metal chelates
1973
The chromatographic behavior of metal bis(ethoxyethyl)dithiocarbamate was investigated. The chelates of 14 elements (V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Mo, Cd, Te, Hg, Tl, Pb and Bi) could be preconcentrated from water with an on-line system and were shown to be suitable for C18-reversed-phase liquid chromatography. A quaternary solvent mixture with admixture of a surfactant was used as eluent, UV-detection was performed at 254 nm. Thermostating the column to 40° C resulted in a significant increase in chromatographic resolution and in a decrease of analysis time. The recovery of the chelates from the aqueous solutions as well as reproducibility of the results are very sensitive to pH changes.
Palladium(II) sequestration by phytate in aqueous solution. Speciation analysis and ionic medium effects.
2010
Environmental context.In the last 20 years, the demand for palladium and other platinum-group elements has intensified, causing a significant increase in their concentration in the environment, with particular accumulation in urban areas. Knowledge about Pd2+ speciation in aqueous media is fundamental for the understanding of its biological and environmental activity in contaminated areas. Phytic acid appears to be a good sequestering agent towards Pd2+ under various conditions, indicating its potential use in the remediation of contaminated sites. Abstract. Palladium(II) speciation in the presence of phytate (Phy12–) was studied by H+ ion selective electrode (ISE) potentiometry at 25°C in…
Expanding the NUIG MOF family: synthesis and characterization of new MOFs for selective CO2 adsorption, metal ion removal from aqueous systems, and d…
2021
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their use in a wide range of environmental, industrial and biomedical applications. The employment of benzophenone-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid (bphdcH2) in MOF chemistry provided access to the 3D mixed metal MOFs [CoNa2(bphdc)2(DMF)2]n (NUIG2) and [ZnK2(bphdc)2(DMF)2]n (NUIG3), and the 2D homometallic MOF [Co2(OH)(bphdcH)2(DMF)2(H2O)2]n(OH)·DMF (1·DMF). 1·DMF is based on a dinuclear SBU and consists of interpenetrating networks with an sql topology. Dc magnetic susceptibility studies were carried out in 1·DMF and revealed the presence of weak antiferomagnetic exchange interactions between the metal centr…
Low-Temperature Optical Spectroscopy of Native and Azide-Reacted Bovine Cu,Zn Superoxide Dismutase. A Structural Dynamics Study
1994
The optical absorption spectra of native and N(3-)-reacted Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) has been studied in the temperature range 300-10 K. The broad d-d bands observed in the room temperature spectrum, centered at 14,700 cm-1 (native enzyme) and at 15,550 cm-1 (N(3-)-reacted enzyme), are clearly split at low temperature into two bands each, centered at 12,835 and 14,844 cm-1 and at 14,418 and 16,300 cm-1, respectively. The thermal behavior of the 23,720 cm-1 band present in the spectrum of the native enzyme indicates that this band belongs to the His61-->Cu(II) ligand to metal charge transfer transition. Analysis of the zeroth, first, and second moments of the various bands as a functi…
Hybrid Molecular Materials Based upon Organic π-Electron Donors and Inorganic Metal Complexes. Conducting Salts of Bis(ethylenediseleno)tetrathiafulv…
2002
Abstract The synthesis, structure and physical characterization of three new radical salts formed by the organic donor bis(ethylenediseleno)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDS-TTF or BEST) and the paramagnetic hexacyanoferrate(III) anion [Fe(CN)6]3− or the photochromic nitroprusside anion [Fe(CN)5NO]2− are reported: (BEST)4[Fe(CN)6] (1), (BEST)3[Fe(CN)6]2·H2O (2) and (BEST)2[Fe(CN)5NO] (3). Salts 1 and 3 show a layered structure with alternating organic (β–type packing) and inorganic slabs. Salt 2 shows an original interpenetrated structure probably due to the unprecedented presence of (BEST)2+ dications. The three salts are semiconductors although salt 1 exhibits a high room temperature conductivity …

Interactions of organotins with biological systems
1992
The bonding and structure in the environments of tin atoms in organotin-biological molecules has been investigated by 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy, mainly through the rationalization of the nuclear quadrupole splitting parameter by pointcharge model approaches. Organotin moieties R2SnIV and R3SnIV (R = Me, nBu, Ph) generally assume trigonal-bipyramidal type configurations in membranes of human erythrocytes, when incubated with whole erythrocytes and erythrocyte ghosts at the level of micromolar (μmol dm−3) organotin per mg of membrane protein. Corresponding structures are assumed by Me2SnIV and Me3SnIV in the cytoplasm. Ethanolic Me2SnCl2 yielded distorted trans-octahedral species when reac…
A Study of Polycarbonate-Liquid Crystal Polymer Blends
1992
BThe morphologican and mechanical properties of blends of bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) with a wholly aromatic liquid crystal copolyesteramide (Vectra-B) are discussed with reference to the conditions used for their preparation. The blends made by extrusion behave as mixtures of incompatible polymers. THe behaviour of the blends prepared in a batch mixer depends strongly on mixing time. A slight decrease in the mechanical properties accompanies the morphological changes associated with a progressive improvement in the compatibility of the two polymers
