Two halide sensitive acridinium ̄uorophores have been synthesised and immobilised in a hydrophilic copolymer. Thin ®lms of the copolymers swell in aqueous media allowing dye ̄uorescence to be dynamically quenched by the di€usion of halide ions. The new sensor ®lms have been characterised in terms of their sensitivity and selectivity towards halide and are compared to ®lms containing both bound ...

The development of a competitive solid-phase immunoassay for digoxin making use of the acridinium chemiluminescence system is described. Two different instrumental approaches are compared. One is based on a continuous flow system using a peristaltic flow injection analysis pump; the other uses a new sequential injection technique. In both systems a flow cell, consisting of transparent PTFE tubi...

In the title compound, (C(13)H(11)N(2))(2)[Zn(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)]·3H(2)O, the Zn(II) ion is six-coordinated with the N(4)O(2) donor set being a distorted octa-hedron through two almost perpendicular (r.m.s. deviation of ligand atoms from the mean plane is 0.057 Å) tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate ligands [dihedral angle between the ligands = 86.06 (4)°]. The charge is compensated by two 9-...

The title compound, (C(13)H(11)N(2))(2)[Ni(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)]·3H(2)O, consists of a mononuclear anionic complex, two 9-amino-acridinium cations and three uncoordinated water mol-ecules. Two pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate (pydc) ligands are bound to the Ni(II) ion, giving an NiN(2)O(4) bonded set. The coordination geometry around the Ni(II) atom is distorted octa-hedral. There are two types of robu...

Nucleophilic dearomatization of azaarenium salts is a powerful strategy to access 3D scaffolds interest from easily accessible planar aromatic azaarene compounds. Moreover, this approach yields complex dihydroazaarenes by allowing the functionalization scaffold simultaneously step. On other side, organocatalysis nowadays recognized as one pillars asymmetric catalysis field research and well-kno...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(13)H(11)N(2))[Fe(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)]·4H(2)O, contains a 9-amino-acridinium cation, one anionic complex and four uncoordinated water mol-ecules. In the anionic complex, the Fe(III) ion is six-coordinated by two almost perpendicular [dihedral angle = 88.78 (7)°] pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, an...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(13)H(11)N(2))(2)[Mn(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)]·3H(2)O, consists of a discrete mononuclear [Mn(2,6-pydc)(2)](2-) anionic complex (2,6-pydc is pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate) associated with two 9-amino-acridinium counter-ions for neutralization of charge and three uncoordin-ated water mol-ecules. The Mn(II) atom is six-coordinated by (2,6-pydc)(2-) anions in a ...
