These objects represent components currently relevant composites with a hybrid structure, unique optical magnetic properties for optoelectronic devices. relationships between geometric parameters, LC properties,...

4-Aza-6-nitrobenzofuroxan (ANBF) reacts with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and other CH acids to give carbon-bonded 1,4-adducts - 1,4-dihydropyridines fused with furoxan ring. In the case of most acidic β-diketones, which exist mainly in the enol form in polar solvents, the reactions proceed in the absence of any added base emphasizing the highly electrophilic character of ANBF. The resulting compou...

2-Hydroxy-N-{2-[2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethyl}benzamide (L¹H₃) and 2-hydroxy-N-{2-[2-hydroxybutyl)amino]ethyl}benzamide (L²H₃) ligands coordinate to copper ions to give anionic metalloligands, L¹Cu⁻ and L²Cu⁻, after deprotonation of their amide, alcohol and phenol functions. In presence of ancillary ligands as diketones, these metalloligands react with lanthanide salts to yield tetranuclear [Cu-Ln...

A 21-mer peptide that can be used to covalently introduce synthetic molecules into proteins has been developed. Phage-displayed peptide libraries were subjected to reaction-based selection with 1,3-diketones. The peptide was further evolved by addition of a randomized region and reselection for improved binding. The resulting 21-mer peptide had a reactive amino group that formed an enaminone wi...
