An unprecedented octahedral {Cd(30)} nanocage supported by twelve pendant-armed tetraacetate macrocyclic ligands was synthesized through the reaction of macrocyclic tetraethyl ester and Cd(OAc)(2)·2H(2)O in a 1 : 2 stoichiometry, where the surface photovoltage and photoluminescent properties have been studied for the nanocage.

The electrochemical ion-sensor performance of the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) 3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine, which is known as a metal ionophore, was examined using triad composed ferrocene, an and tripodal trithiol with adamantane core. voltammetry SAM-modified Au electrode showed large positive change (280 mV) in ferrocene oxidation potential via addition Pb2+, detection limit 10–6 M. A Langmu...

Abstract The decentralisation of accurate determination the ammonium ion (NH 4 + ) is relevant for environmental monitoring (i. e., nitrogen cycle) and certain clinical applications (e. g., kidney liver diseases). Potentiometric ionophore‐based sensors are one alternative these purposes in terms versatile implementation, though potassium (K known to be a major source interference. We herein inv...

Background The role of calcium in physiological phenomenona such as sperm acrosome reaction and hyper-activation has been well known. Calcium ionophore A23187 is routinely used for induction of acrosome reaction in mammalians sperm. Therefore, we decided to evaluate the effect of calcium ionophore A23187 on the sperm hyper-active motility patterns. MaterialsAndMethods Ten semen samples from ind...

The addition of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 to rabbit neutrophils stimulated [14C]arachidonic acid incorporation into phosphatidylinositol and lysosomal enzyme secretion. A significant increase in phosphatidylinositol labelling was observed after a 2 min exposure to 0.1 microM-ionophore A23187. Maximum increases in rate of labelling were obtained with 1 microM-ionophore A23187 within 1 min, decli...

The enzymatic recycling of polymacrolactones using the N435 biocatalyst provides macrocyclic oligoesters that could be repolymerized.

in this paper, the structure of a new 16-membered macrocyclic schiff base compound n,n′-(3,3′-dimethoxy-2,2′-(propane-1,3-diyldioxy)dibenzylidene)propane-1,3-diamine, c22h26n2o4 (1), derived from 1,3-propanediamine and 3,3′-dimethoxy-2,2′-(propane-1,3-diyldioxy)dibenzaldehyde has been studied by single crystal x-ray diffraction, dft calculations at b3lyp/6-31g** and ft-ir spectroscopy. the titl...

Macrocyclic heterobinuclear Zn(II)–Cu(II) complexes with phenol based dicompartmental ligands possessing contiguous hexa- and penta-coordination sites were prepared by a stepwise procedure. The ligands include similar N4O2 and dissimilar N(imine)3O2 and N(amine)3O2 coordination sites sharing two phenolic oxygen atoms. The six-coordination site comprises two pyridyl pendant arms on the amine nit...
