The cyclic tetraimidazolium salt (H4-)(PF6)4 with flexible linkers between the imidazolium groups has been synthesized following a stepwise synthetic approach. In situ deprotonation of (H4-)(PF6)4 in the presence of different metal ions leads to complexes where the tetracarbene ligand shows differing coordination modes depending on the metal center. Due to its high flexibility the tetracarbene ...

We report here the synthesis of [Cu2(TFA)4(tBu2S)2] (1), [Ag4(TFA)4(tBu2S)4] (2) and [AuCl(tBu2S)] (3) (TFA=trifluoroacetate), which decompose in solution medium at ultra-low temperature (e. g., boiling toluene) to afford phase-pure highly crystalline Cu9S5, Ag2S metallic Au nanoparticles, respectively. The low decomposition these precursors is attributed facile mechanism di-tertiary-butyl sulf...

In the tetra-nuclear mol-ecule of the title compound, [Ag4(C9H10O4)2(C18H15P)4], the Ag(I) ion is coordinated by one P and three O atoms in a considerably distorted tetra-hedral environment. The two 2,2-di-allyl-malonate anions bridge four Ag(I) ions in a μ4-(κ(6) O (1),O (3):O (3):O (1'),O (3'):O (1')) mode, setting up an Ag4O8P4 core (point group symmetry -4..) of corner-sharing tetra-hedra. ...

Monoclonal antibody AB/3 was produced from a fusion of spleen cells of a human breast cancer cell-primed BALB/c mouse with the murine myeloma cell line P3-NS1-Ag4-1. The antibody reacted strongly with the plasma membrane of human breast cancer cells. Tissue sections of both malignant and benign human mammary carcinomas and tumors of non-breast origin as well as apparently normal tissues were te...

By using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, four monoclonal antibodies were selected after fusion of mouse P3-NS1-Ag4-1 myeloma cells with spleen cells isolated from BALB/c mice that had been immunized with aflatoxin Ml (AFMI) conjugated to bovine serum albumin. Two of these antibodies were found to be specific for AFMI and were designated AMW-1 and AMW-4. The specificities of AMW-1...
