Defining the Conditions for the Development of the Emerging Class of Feᴵᴵᴵ-Based MRI Contrast Agents
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-07-26)
[Abstract] Fe(III) complexes are attracting growing interest in chemists developing diagnostic probes for Magnetic Resonance Imaging because they leverage on an endogenous metal and show superior stability. However, in ...
The role of ligand to metal charge-transfer states on the luminescence of Europium complexes with 18-membered macrocyclic ligands
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-02-27)
[Abstract] We report a detailed study of the photophysical properties of EuIII and TbIII complexes with two ligands based on a 3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane platform containing either four ...
Viologen–cucurbituril host/guest chemistry – redox control of dimerization versus inclusion
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-09-02)
[Abstract] Two calix[4]arene systems, C234+ and C244+ – where 2 corresponds to the number of viologen units and 3–4 corresponds to the number of carbon atoms connecting the viologen units to the macrocyclic core – have ...
Relevance of Palladium to Radiopharmaceutical Development Considering Enhanced Coordination Properties of TE1PA
(Wiley, 2022-06-10)
[Abstract] The limited use of palladium-103 and -109 radionuclides for molecular radiotherapy is surely due to the lack of appropriate ligands capable of fulfilling all criteria required for application in nuclear medicine. ...
Removal of Emerging Pollutants by a 3-Step System: Hybrid Digester, Vertical Flow Constructed Wetland and Photodegradation Post-treatments
(Elsevier, 2022-06-22)
[Abstract] The removal of emerging pollutants from municipal wastewater was studied for the first time using a three-step pilot-scale system: 1) hybrid digester (HD) as first step, 2) subsurface vertical flow constructed ...
On the Dissociation Pathways of Copper Complexes Relevant as Pet Imaging Agents
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract] Several bifunctional chelators have been synthesized in the last years for the development of new 64Cu-based PET agents for in vivo imaging. When designing a metal-based PET probe, it is important to achieve ...
The chemical consequences of the gradual decrease of the ionic radius along the Ln-series
(Elsevier, 2019-12-23)
[Abstract] In the periodical system, the lanthanides (the 15 elements in the periodic table between barium and hafnium) are unique in the sense that their trivalent cations have their valence electrons hidden behind the ...
Stimuli-responsive metal-directed self-assembly of a ring-in-ring complex
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-06-06)
[Abstract] Concentration, temperature and/or solvent polarity control the speciation on the metal-directed self-assembly of a ditopic pyridyl ligand L with cis-protected Pd(II) metal centers. This results into a controllable ...
[C–H⋯anion] interactions mediate the templation and anion binding properties of topologically non-trivial metal–organic structures in aqueous solutions
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-02-12)
[Abstract] Two synthetic approaches—temperature variation and anion templation—allowed for the selective formation of a [2]catenane ([2]C4+) or a trefoil knot (TK6+), or for the enhanced formation of a Solomon link (SL8+), ...
Cobalt Impregnation on Titania Photocatalysts Enhances Vis Phenol Photodegradation
(MDPI, 2023-06-01)
[Abstract] One of the main challenges of photocatalysis is to find a stable and effective photocatalyst, that is active and effective under sunlight. Here, we discuss the photocatalytic degradation of phenol as a model ...
