a binuclear macrocyclic ligand containing dissimilar n(amine)2o2 and n(imine)2o2 coordination sites sharing two phenolic oxygen atoms, was prepared by cyclic condensation of dialdehyde precursor l1h2 with 1,3-diaminopropane. the ligand includes two propionitrile pendant arms on the amine nitrogen atoms. the homobimetallic complex [znl2zn(oac)]pf6 was synthesized by one step procedure. heterobim...

2-Aminoethyl DOTA analogues with unsubstituted (H3L1), monomethylated (H3L2) and dimethylated (H3L3) amino groups were prepared by improved synthetic procedures. Their solid-state structures exhibit an extensive system of intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which is probably present in solution and leads to the rather high value of the last dissociation constant. The protonation sequence of H3L1 in ...

In the title complex, [Ni(NCS)(2)(C(17)H(20)N(4))], the Ni(2+) ion (site symmetry 2) is coordinated by the N,N,N,N-tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand and two thio-cyanate ligands, forming a distorted NiN(6) octa-hedral geometry, with the thio-cyanate N atoms in a trans orientation. The pendant methyl group of the central propane-1,2-diamine fragment of the ligand is statistically disordered over ...

Our group recently prepared a hybrid catalyst containing a rhodium complex, Rh(Cp)(cod), with a maleimide moiety at the peripheral position of the Cp ligand. This compound was then inserted into a β-barrel protein scaffold of a mutant of aponitrobindin (Q96C) via a covalent linkage. The hybrid protein is found to act as a polymerization catalyst and preferentially yields trans-poly(phenylacetyl...

This article synthesized and characterized a novel antibacterial hydrogel, which is formed using maleimide–thiol conjugation. Two precursors chitosan functionalized thiol groups dextran maleimide prepared by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Key features of the such as gelation time, swelling behavior, viscoelastic properties, degradation rate, were thoroughly examined. From time result, we fou...

The complete mol-ecule of the title mononuclear zinc(II) complex, [Zn(NCS)(2)(C(13)H(13)N(3))], is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the metal atom lying on the rotation axis. The pendant methyl group of the ligand is statistically disordered over two sites. The Zn(2+) cation is coordinated by the N,N',N''-tridentate Schiff base ligand, and by two thio-cyanate N atoms, formin...

Polymeric maleimido-quaternary ammonium (QA) compounds have been shown to function as molecular tape measures when covalently tethered to external cysteine residues of a Shaker K(+) channel (Blaustein R.O., P.A. Cole, C. Williams, and C. Miller. 2000. Nat. Struct. Biol. 7:309-311). For sufficiently long compounds, the cysteine-maleimide tethering reaction creates a high concentration, at the ch...

To understand the extent of the cross-linking of proteins by the bifunctional reagent p-NN'-phenylenebismaleimide, a quantitative study of competing reactions has been undertaken. The two reactive maleimide rings of the bismaleimide are hydrolysed in mildly alkaline aqueous solutions much more rapidly than is the single maleimide ring of the monofunctional analogue N-ethylmaleimide. The kinetic...
