Double cyclization of short linear peptides obtained by solid phase peptide synthesis was used to prepare bridged bicyclic peptides (BBPs) corresponding to the topology of bridged bicyclic alkanes such as norbornane. Diastereomeric norbornapeptides were in ...
The work presented in this thesis entails the synthesis and characterisation of new iron(II) tris(dioxime) clathrochelate complexes functionalised with apical capping groups suitable for supramolecular applications, and their subsequent incorporation into ...
beta-Barrel pore-forming toxins (beta-PFT), a large family of bacterial toxins, are generally secreted as water-soluble monomers and can form oligomeric pores in membranes following proteolytic cleavage and interaction with cell surface receptors. Monalysi ...

Coordination-directed self-assembly has become a well-established technique for the construction of functional supramolecular structures. In contrast to the most often exploited transition metals, trivalent lanthanides Ln(III) have been less utilized in th ...
Two neutral and two cationic half-sandwich Os(II)-arene metallodendrimers, of general formula [DAB-PPI-{(eta(6)-p-cym)Os((C7H5NO)-kappa(2)-N,O)Cl}(n)] and [DAB-PPI-{(eta(6)-p-cym)Os((C6H5N2)-kappa(2)-N,N)Cl}(n)]PF6 (where n = 4 (G1) or 8 (G2)) have be ...
Laue's experiment in 1912 of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals led to one of the most influential discoveries in the history of science: the first determinations of crystal structures, NaCl and diamond in particular, by W. L. Bragg in 1913. For the fir ...
Gold( I) phosphine complexes of the general formula [AuCl(Ph(2)PfcCONHY-kappa P)], where Y is CH2CO2Me (7), CH2CONH2 (8), CH2CH2OH (9), CH(CH2OH)(2) (10), C(CH2OH)(3) (11), and CH2SO3(HNEt3) (12), and fc is ferrocene-1,1'-diyl, were prepared from [AuCl(tht ...
Two triphenyltin(IV) adducts of difunctional ligands, N-(n-pyridinyl) diphenylphosphinic amide (n = 2 and 4), have been synthesized and characterized by H-1, P-31, Sn-119 NMR and IR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic properties of the complexes were compared ...
Described are the synthesis and characterization of two, potentially tetradentate, N2S2 Schiff-base ligands, containing a disulfide bond, N,N'-bis(3-phenylprop-2-en-l-ylidene)-2,2'-disulfanediyldianiline (L-1) and N,N'-bis(3,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-ylidene)- ...
The title complex [Co-III{(naph)(2)dpt}(bzlan)]BPh4, where (naph)(2)dpt stands for bis-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimine)-N-dipropylenetriamine dianion and bzlan for benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis and H-1 NM ...
The neutral dinuclear complexes [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(2)Rh-2(mu-dhnq)Cl-2] (1) and [(eta(5)-C5Me5)(2)Ir-2(mu-dhnq)Cl-2] (2) (dhnqH(2) = 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) were obtained from the reaction of (eta(5)-C5Me5)M(mu-Cl)Cl (M = Rh, Ir) with dhnqH(2) ...
