Three immobilized Cu(II) complexes were generated by the following: (a) homopolymerization of the N,N',N '' chelate ligand tris[2-(1-vinylimidazolyl)]phosphine (1) and subsequent metalation with CuCl2; (b) copolymerization of 1 with ethyleneglycol dimethac ...

The condensation of multiple building blocks in a ball mill allows molecular cages with a size up to 3.1 nm to be built. ...

Five different types of β-diketiminate ligands, bearing electron-donating to strongly electron-withdrawing substituents, were synthesized and used in the synthesis of Cp* ruthenium complexes (Cp* = η5-C5Me5). One series consists of complexes with a covalen ...

The aggregation-induced emission properties of tetraarylethenes (TAEs) have led to numerous applications in chemistry, biology, and materials science. Herein, we describe two fluorinated tetraarylethenes, which can be employed as universal tags for the syn ...

Molecular cages with arylboronate ester caps at the vertices are described. The cages were obtained by metal-templated polycondensation reactions of a tris(2-formylpyridine oxime) ligand with arylboronic acids. Suited templates are triflate or triflimide s ...

A simple but powerful method for the sensing of peptides in aqueous solution has been developed. The transition-metal complexes [PdCl2(en)], [{RhCl2Cp*}2], and [{RuCl2(p-cymene)} 2] were combined with six different fluorescent dyes to build a cross-reactiv ...

The synthesis of a cylindrical, imine-based cage composed of two trimeric metallamacrocycles is described. The cage acts as a heterotopic receptor for alkali metal cations. The small cations Li+, Na+, and K+ bind to the outside of the cage with good select ...

The present invention relates to a novel method for preparing triazenes. Further, the invention relates to novel triazenes and the use of N2O for preparing a compound comprising a triazene group. Further, the invention relates to the use of the novel triaz ...

Organometallic half-sandwich complexes based on ruthenium with aminomethyl-substituted 3-hydroxy-2-pyridone ligands exist in aqueous solution as monomeric O,O′-chelate complexes or trimeric metallamacrocycles depending upon the pH. We hypothesized that adm ...

Ruthenium complexes with bridging dicarboxylate ligands were combined with 1,2-di-4-pyridylethylene (dpe), 2,4,6-tri-4-pyridyltriazine (4-tpt), or 2,4,6-tri-3-pyridyltriazine (3-tpt) to give a tetranuclear rectangle or hexanuclear coordination cages. The c ...

The introduction of two nucleophiles in the vicinal position of arenes via Sandmeyer‐type reactions is compromised by the problematic diazotization of ortho‐diaminoarenes. Herein, it is shown that vicinal substitution reactions are facilitated by the use ...

Triazenes are valuable compounds in organic chemistry and numerous applications have been reported. Furthermore, triazenes have been investigated extensively as potential antitumor drugs. Here, we describe a new method for the synthesis of triazenes. The p ...

Thirteen palladium-ligand assemblies with different structures and topologies were investigated for the ability to bind lithium ions. In one case, the addition of LiBF4 resulted in a profound structural rearrangement, converting a dincluclear [Pd2L4]2 comp ...

Fluorinated pyridones are an important scaffold displaying relevant biological activities. Efficient assembly strategies of pyridones are transition metal-catalyzed C–H annulations with alkynes. The inaccessibility and extreme lability of fluoro alkynes re ...

The chemical activation of nitrous oxide (N2O) can be achieved by organocalcium, organosodium, and organolithium compounds. Grignard reagents, on the other hand, are believed to be inert. We demonstrate that this generalization is not correct. Some aliphat ...

The design of structurally defined heteroleptic coordination cages is a challenging task, and only few examples are known to date. Here we describe a selection approach that allowed the identification of a novel hexanuclear Pd cage containing two types of ...

A simple assay for the detection of fluoride in water by fluorescence spectroscopy was developed. The assay is based on commercially available reagents and allows sensing of fluoride in the low millimolar concentration range with high selectivity over othe ...

The facile synthesis of anionic bipyridyl ligands with dinuclear clathrochelate cores is described. These metalloligands can be obtained in high yields by the reactions of M(ClO4)(2)(H2O)(6) (M: Zn, Mn, or Co) with 4-pyridylboronic acid and 2,6-diformyl-4- ...

The dye disodium 3,4:3’,4’-bibenzo[b]thiophene-2,2’-disulfonate can be used as molecular probe for the fluorimetric detection of caffeine in aqueous solution. The fluorescence response is attributed to non-covalent interactions of caffeine with the dye in ...

Kinetic and spectroscopic analyses were performed to gain information about the mechanism of atom-transfer radical reactions catalyzed by the complexes [RuCl2Cp*(PPh3)] and [RuClCp*(PPh3)2] (Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), in the presence and in the abse ...
