Isostructural Ln(III) mononuclear complexes [Ln(NO3)2L]PF6·MeCN (Ln = Nd, Tb, or Dy; L denotes a helical hexa-dentate ligand) were synthesized, and their slow magnetic relaxation behavior was investigated. In these complexes, oblate-type Ln(III) ions are located in an axially stressed ligand field with two nitrate anions, and can exhibit single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior. Field-induced SMM ...

The stability constants of Fe(III) and Cr(III) with methyl cysteine and nitrilotriacetate (NTA) were determined by paper electrophoretic technique. Beside binary ternary complexes have also been studied, in which nitrilotriacetate and methyl cysteine acts as primary and secondary ligand, respectively. The stability constants of mixed ligand complexes metal (M)-nitrilotriacetate-methyl cysteine ...

In Staphylococcus aureus B47 grown in iron-restricted medium, six new, iron-regulated proteins occurred in cytoplasmic membrane. Protein of 14kDa has bound two complexes of iron: Fe(III)-staphylobactin and Fe(III)-acinetoferrin. Complexes of Fe(llI)-ferrichrome and Fe(III)-rhodotorulic acid were not bound to any of new membrane protein. Iron of Fe(III)-staphylobactin and Fe(IIl)-acinetoferrin c...

The quadridentate N-heterocyclic ligand 6-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-3-yl)-2,2' : 6',2''-terpyridine (CyMe(4)-hemi-BTBP) has been synthesized and its interactions with Am(III), U(VI), Ln(III) and some transition metal cations have been evaluated by X-ray crystallographic analysis, Am(III)/Eu(III) solvent extraction experiments, UV absorption spectrophotometry, NM...

A new series of Cr(III) , Co(II), Fe(III) and Cu(II) complexes with the chalcone ligand were prepared and spectroscopic method and elemental analysis verified their structures. All the prepared complexes have been identified by available spectroscopic tools (UV-Visible and IR) in addition the structure of complexes was characterized by magnetic moments and molar conductance in DMSO solution .Fr...

Extraction-separation of Eu(III) and Th(IV) ions from nitrate media into the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate by a phosphorylated salen extractant, bis(chlorophosphoryle)decahydro-2,4-di(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzo[d][1,3,6]oxadiazepine (DPO), is investigated. It is found that Eu(III) ions are extracted via a solvation mechanism, and the extraction of Th(IV) i...

Presently, there is large interest in analysing the interactions in vitro with plasma proteins of some novel antitumor ruthenium(III) complexes that are in preclinical or clinical phase. The joint application of separation and spectroscopic techniques provides valuable information on the nature and the properties of the resulting ruthenium/protein adducts. Recent work carried out in our laborat...

The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) system is an adaptive immune system that targets viruses and other mobile genetic elements in bacteria and archaea. Cells store information of past infections in their genome in repeat-spacer arrays. After transcription, these arrays are processed into unit-length crRNA (CRISPR RNA) that is loaded into effector complexes enc...
