While MnII complexes meet increasing interest in biomedical applications, ligands are lacking that enable high complex stability and selectivity vs. ZnII, the most relevant biological competitor. We report here two new bispidine derivatives, which provide rigid large coordination cavities perfectly match size of MnII, yielding eight-coordinate with record stabilities. In contrast, smaller ZnII ...

To further the accurate direct potentiometry of plasma electrolyte concentrations, we investigated the effects of solution composition on the residual liquid junction potential (RLJP) during measurement of K+. Assuming that the binding constant between K+ and proteins or bicarbonate is no greater than with Na+, we calculate that the amount of bound K+ can be neglected. A significant RLJP exists...

Complexation and conformational studies of coenzyme NAD+ with aluminum were conducted in acidic aqueous solutions (pH 2-5) by means of potentiometry as well as multinuclear (1H, 13C, 31P, 27Al) and two-dimensional (1H, 1H-NOESY) NMR spectroscopy. These led to the following results: (1) Al could coordinate with NAD+ through the following binding sites: N7' of adenine and pyrophosphate free oxyge...

The C-3 phenolic hydroxy group containing morphine derivatives (morphine, oxymorphone, naloxone, naltrexone) are excellent candidates for the synthesis of 3-O-functionalized molecules. Achieving free carboxylic gives opportunity further modification and conjugation that could be used immunization immunoassays. For this purpose ethyl bromo- chloroacetate can as O-alkylating agents. Hydrolyzing p...

The electrochemical formation of Neodymium–Nickel (Nd–Ni) alloys was investigated in a molten CaCl 2 –NdCl 3 (1.0 mol%) system at 1123 K. Cyclic voltammograms for Molybdenum (Mo) and Ni electrodes showed the electrodeposition/dissolution metallic Nd formation/dissolution Nd–Ni alloys, respectively. equilibrium potential 3+ /Nd determined 0.27 V (vs. Ca 2+ /Ca) by open-circuit potentiometry Mo e...

Uma avaliação sistemática de um eletrodo tubular de Fe2O3 em grafite epóxi foi realizada através de medições de pH em um sistema de injeção em fluxo de linha única. O eletrodo tubular foi obtido pela deposição de uma mistura de óxido de ferro(III), pó de grafite e resina epóxi no interior de um orifício feito previamente no canal de injeção (de resina poliuretana). O efeito da composição do ele...
