Gas-Phase Formation of Large Neutral Alkaline-Earth Metal Tryptophan Complexes

Gas-phase formation of large neutral alkaline-earth metal tryptophan complexes.

We report on the first observation of isolated large neutral metal amino acid complexes such as Trp(n)Me(k), with Me=Ca, Ba, Sr, cluster combinations covering n=1...33, k=0..2 and masses beyond 6500 u. The cluster beam is generated using UV laser desorption from a mixed powder of alkaline-earth metal salts and tryptophan inside a cluster mixing channel. The particles are detected using VUV phot...

Exafs Investigations of Earth-alkaline Metal Uranyl Tricarbonato Complexes

Carbonate and bicarbonate are the common anions found in significant concentrations in many natural waters, and are exceptionally strong complexation agents for actinide ions. Seepage, flooding and mining waters from the uranium mining area in the south-east of Germany (Saxony and Thuringia) contain relatively high amounts of magnesium, calcium, carbonate and sulphate ions. In these waters the ...

Alkaline and alkaline earth metal complexes of dianhydride derivatives of clodronate and their hydrolysis products.

Alkaline and alkaline earth metal complexes of P,P'-diacetyl- (L1(2-)); new P,P'-dipropanoyl- (L2(2-)) and P,P'-dibenzoyl(dichloromethylene)bisphosphonates (L3(2-)) and their hydrolysis products were prepared and characterized using the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique and spectroscopy, with the intention of studying the hydrolysis and coordinating properties of these potential prodru...

Chemistry of the Alkaline Earth Metal Enolates

Aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic esters, carboxylic amides, imines and N,N-disubstituted hydrazones react as electrophiles at their sp2-hybridized carbon atoms. These compounds also become nucleophiles, if they contain an H atom in the a-position relative to their C O or C N bonds. This is because they can undergo tautomerization to the corresponding enol as seen in Chapter 12. They are also C,H-...
