The use of different metals in Magnetic Resonance Imaging will be briefly described.This overview will be more a qualitative description than a full paper on this topic, in other words, this paper contributes to explaining how and why some metal ions have been chosen for MRI.Paramagnetic compounds are currently used in clinical practice. The main differencesin the four gadolinium complexes come...

Novel macrocyclic saccharide receptors that possess terpyridine skeletons as a hydrogen-bonding site are presented. On modification of the hydrogen-bonding sites and the macrocyclic bridges, the receptors showed selective bindings for ribofuranosides, deoxyribofuranosides, and glucopyranosides, respectively. The binding affinities of the receptors were very high, so that native monosaccharides ...

Some new macrocyclic dibenzotrioxadiamides, dibenzotetraoxadiamide, dibenzopentaoxadiamide, dibenzothiatrioxadiamide, tribenzotrioxadiamides and tetrabenzohexaoxadiamide (14-21), (26) and (27) have been prepared. These compounds were obtained in the macrocyclization step by reacting the diamine (4) with appropriak dicaxboxylic acid dichlorides (5-13) and (24). The cyclization does not requ...

Small-molecule fluorescent probes play a myriad of important roles in chemical sensing. Many such systems incorporating a receptor component designed to recognise and bind a specific analyte, and a reporter or transducer component which signals the binding event with a change in fluorescence output have been developed. Fluorescent probes use a variety of mechanisms to transmit the binding event...

Understanding of structure–affinity relationships is crucial for rational receptor design, however, such studies for anion receptors are still limited. Therefore, we investigated this issue in the case of amide-based macrocyclic receptors derived from aromatic diacids (i.e., isophthalic and dipicolinic). Using these model compounds, we examined the macrocyclic effect, the influence of intramole...

Together, helminth parasites are the most important animal health constraint to global ruminant livestock production. Better control of gastrointestinal and lungworm nematodes (and liver flukes) in Irish and UK cattle is a priority to meet the need for food security through efficient livestock production. Persistent acting macrocyclic lactone anthelmintics are convenient to use and highly effec...

In the title compound, C(24)H(44)N(6) (6+).6C(7)H(7)O(3)S(-).2H(2)O, the macrocycle crystallizes in its hexaprotonated form, accompanied by six p-toluenesulfonate ions and two water molecules, and lies on an inversion center. The three independent p-toluenesulfonate anions and their inversion equivalents at (1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z) are linked to the macrocyclic cation through N-Hcdots, three dots,...

Two sets of supramolecular rhenium carbonyl-phenanthroline complexes were prepared: fac-[Re(Cl)(CO)(3)(N,N)] and fac-[Re(Etpy)(CO)(3)(N,N)](+), where N,N is 2,9-di-anisyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dap) or two related macrocyclic ligands, where the two anisyl groups are connected by a polyether chain of different length and rigidity (m27, m30), which wraps around and above the equatorial Re(CO)(2) gr...
