Hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide modulated (HCN) ion channel currents are activated by hyperpolarization and modulated in response to changes in cytosolic adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations. A cDNA chimera combining the rat HCN2 cyclic nucleotide binding domain and the DNA binding domain of the cAMP receptor protein (CRP) from E. coli and the histidine tag (...

A series of RuII complexes stabilized with the pentapyridyl ligand Py5Me2 (Py5Me2 = 2,6-bis(1,1-bis(2-pyridyl)ethyl)pyridine) and with an axial X ligand (X = Cl-, H2O, N3-, MeCN) were prepared and characterized in the solid state and in non-aqueous solution. The cyclic voltammograms of these complexes in MeCN reflect a reversible substitution of the axial X ligand with MeCN. Irreversible ligand...

Dissymmetry for selectivity: NHC ligand with two different pendant group allows the selective formation of cyclic oligomers in place of polymers opening new strategy to generate macrocycles.

The oxovanadium(IV) template was formed with the reaction between vanadyl sulfate pentahydrate, 2-hydroxybenzophenone-S-allylthiosemicarbazone, and 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde. synthesized complex, along starting ligand, subjected to UV-Vis, FTIR, mass, magnetic measurement. square pyramidal structure proven single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. Stronger crystals were π-π interactions, which al...

The ligand-field strength in metal complexes of polydentate ligands depends critically on how the ligand backbone places the donor atoms in three-dimensional space. Distortions from regular coordination geometries are often observed. In this work, we study the isolated effect of ligand-sphere distortion by means of two structurally related pentadentate ligands of identical donor set, in the sol...

The synthesis, characterization, electrochemical and photophysical properties of three novel polypyridine rhenium(I) complexes coordinated to an organoselenide ligand, 4-(phenylseleno)-pyridine (PhSepy), structurally related ligands, fac-[Re(CO)3(NN)(PhSepy)]+ NN = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (ph2phen) pyrazino[2,3-f]-1,10-phenanthroline (dpq), are reported. In ...

We report on the tetraruthenium macrocycles Ru4-5 and -6 with a π-conjugated pyrene-appended 5,8-divinylquinoxaline ligand either isophthalate or thiophenyl-2,5-dicarboxylate linkers their charge-transfer salts formed by oxidation two equivalents of F4TCNQ. Both macrocyclic complexes were characterized NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, cyclic square-wave voltammetry, IR, UV–vis–NIR, EPR spec...

Controlling the structure of multi-component assemblies is one of the leading challenges for the supramolecular chemist. One of the simplest assemblies is the dinuclear doublestranded helicate, and the rules that govern the formation of this species are largely established. The formation of the helicates’ higher nuclearity cousin, the cyclic helicate, is conversely less well understood. One of ...
