Isomerization Mechanisms of Stereolabile tris- and bis-Bidentate Octahedral Cobalt(II) Complexes: X-ray Structure and Variable Temperature and Pressure NMR Kinetic Investigation

Rosario Scopelliti, André Merbach, Lothar Helm, Fabrice Riblet

The isomerization dynamics of five labile octahedral Co(II) compounds have been investigated by variable temperature and pressure 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopy in dichloromethane solution. The X-ray crystal structure of the two tris-chelates, [Co(HFA)2bpic] ...

A ruthenium-based metallostar: synthesis, sensitized luminescence and 1H relaxivity

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Lothar Helm, Alain Borel, Loïck Moriggi, Annina Aebischer

Ru-based metallostars Na4{Ru[Ln2bpy-DTTA2(H2O)4]3} (Ln = Y, Gd, and Eu) have been self-assembled in aqueous solution and their relaxivity and optical properties unravelled. The ynthesis and the purification of the new, highly stable heptametallic entities ...

In vitro and in vivo studies of new photoluminescent oxygen sensors for non-invasive intravascular pO 2 measurements

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

The concentration of oxygen and its rate of consumption are important factors playing a role in PDT and radiotherapy. One of the methods for measuring the tissular oxygen partial pressure (pO 2) is based on the use of luminophores presenting an oxygen-depe ...

Electron counting at room temperature in an avalanche bipolar transistor

Giovanni Boero, Radivoje Popovic, Marc Lany

We report on real-time detection of single electrons inside a n-p-n bipolar junction transistor at room temperature. Single electrons injected through the base-emitter junction trigger with a high probability the avalanche breakdown of the strongly reverse ...

Highly efficient MRI contrast agents : from monomers to nanoparticles

Loïck Moriggi

Since contrasts agents are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), numerous efforts have been done to increase their relaxivity (parameter allowing to quantify contrast agent efficiency). Few years ago, the Merbach group developed the chelating agent DTT ...

Physicochemical Properties of the High-Field MRI-Relevant [Gd(DTTA-Me)(H2O)2]− Complex

Lothar Helm, Loïck Moriggi

To study the physicochemical properties of the DTTA chelating moiety (H4DTTA = diethylenetriaminetetraacetic acid = N,N′-[iminobis(ethane-2,1-diyl)]bis[N-(carboxymethyl)glycine]), used in several compounds proposed as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contr ...

Mécanismes d'isomérisation et d'échange de ligand de complexes octaédriques labiles de cobalt (II) : étude par RMN et haute pression

Fabrice Riblet

There are only few structural thermodynamic and kinetic studies on labile octahedral complexes available today. Octahedral paramagnetic compounds of cobalt(II) have an optimum electronic relaxation leading to NMR spectra with good resolution. Therefore, th ...
