Pulse-dipolar EPR is an appealing strategy for structural characterization of complex systems in solution that complements other biophysical techniques. Significantly, the emergence genetically encoded self-assembling spin labels exploiting exogenously introduced double-histidine motifs conjunction with CuII-chelates offers high precision distance determination nonpermissive to thiol-directed l...

Although fullerene (C60) has attracted great interest as a carbon-based nanomaterial with unique properties, today, little is known about the interaction of its water-soluble derivates, including fullerenol higher plants. Here, we investigated how [C60(OH)22-24] affects Zea mays, Strategy II plant, depending on iron status. Iron deficiency chlorosis common nutritional disorder affecting Maize p...

The title compound, [Cu(NO3)(C12H8N2)2]NO3·C7H6O5·H2O, consists of a mononuclear complex cation with the central CuII atom in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination sphere. Two N atoms of two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands occupy the axial sites, and the remaining N atoms of the two ligands, as well as one nitrate O atom the equatorial positions. One mol-ecule each of gallic acid and water ...

Two new copper(II) complexes, [Cu2(3-bpfp)(2,6-PDA)2(H2O)2] (1) and [Cu(4-bpfp)0.5 (glu)]·H2O (2), have been hydrothermally synthesized by self-assembly of isomeric bis(pyridylformyl)piperazine ligands [3-bpfp = bis(3-pyridylformyl)piperazine, 4-bpfp = bis(4pyridylformyl)piperazine], rigid pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (2,6-H2PDA) or flexible glutaric acid (H2glu), and copper(II) chloride. Sin...

new hetero-binuclear hg-cu schiff base complexes were prepared by reaction of 2,2'-[1,1'-(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyldinitrilo)-diethyldyne]diphenolato}copper(ii) (cul1) and 6,6'-x-2,2'-[(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato copper(ii) [(x = ethoxy (cul2) and ‎methoxy (cul3)], with hgcl2 to give [cu(l1)hgcl2] (1), [cu(l2)hgcl2] (2), and [cu...
