Two potentially heptadentate (N4O3) tripodal Schiff-base ligands: tris(3(salicylideneimino)propyl)amine (H3L1) and tris(3-(4'-hydroxysalicylideneimino)propyl)amine (H3L2) have been prepared and characterized by various spectroscopic methods (IR, FAB-MS, NMR). They are derived from the condensation reactions of tris(3-aminopropyl)amine (tpt), with 3 equivalents of either salicylaldehyde or the r...

We report a generic approach for targeting proteins into micropatterns by in situ laser lithography. To this end, we have designed a photocleavable oligohistidine peptide for caging tris(nitrilo triacetic acid) (tris-NTA) groups on surfaces by multivalent interactions. Local photofragmentation of the peptide by UV illumination through a photomask or by a confocal laser beam uncages tris-NTA, th...

known to have a coordination number of seven. Nearly all of them have the basic formulation [Ln(bidentate)3(unidentate)]. On the contrary, structurally characterized examples of a heptadentate ligand coordinating one metal ion are rare. Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) condenses with salicylaldehyde or its substituted analogs in a 1:3 molar ratio to form Schiff-bases which are potentially tribasi...

Bis- and tris-Lewis acids, based on alkynylsilanes with terminal boron functions, were prepared tested for their ability to accept neutral Lewis base molecules.

The synthesis of tris(ortho-carboranyl)borane (BoCb3), a single site neutral Lewis superacid, in one pot from commercially available materials is achieved. high fluoride ion affinity (FIA) confirms its classification as superacid and the Gutmann-Beckett method well adducts with bases indicate stronger acidity over widely used fluorinated aryl boranes. electron withdrawing effect ortho-carborane...

Diaphorase Assay-Six-hundredths pmole of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol, 50 pmoles of Tris-HCl, pH 7.55, 1 pmole of EDTA, enzyme, and 0.44 pmole of DPNH in a volume of 3 ml were placed in a Beckman spectrophotometer equipped with a water jacket through which water at 25” was circulated. A control cuvette without enzyme was included, and absorbancy at 600 rnp was determined for 10 minutes. Under t...
