New polynitramino compounds were synthesized and fully characterized using IR and multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, (15)N) NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

In applications of ELDOR (electron-electron double-resonance) spectroscopy to metal centres, significant g-anisotropy and spin-coupling within multinuclear clusters have to be considered. We show the difficulties and the advantages arising from these effects.

A new rotaxane containing the 3-amido-phenyl-triazolium group incorporated into the interlocked structure's axle component has been prepared by a chloride anion templated clipping strategy. Proton NMR titration experiments reveal that the interlocked host displays a high degree of halide anion recognition in competitive 1 : 1 CDCl3-CD3OD solvent mixture. Chloride and bromide anions are bound st...

A set of six multinuclear manganese complexes was screened for the ability to catalyse reactions yielding O(2) under coherent experimental conditions; we identify a much larger number of manganese compounds than previously known that catalyse oxygen formation.

Synthesis of a ligand platform to generate di- and tri-mesoionic carbenes is reported together with their multinuclear Pd(II) complexes. Complete structural characterization and preliminary electrochemical data are presented.

Nanoparticles formed via electrostatic interactions between methoxy-polyethylene glycol-block-poly(glutamic acid) (MPEG-PGA) and a multinuclear platinum(II) drug, di-cisPt, exhibit efficient platinum loading, improved cellular uptake, in vitro cytotoxicity, and enhanced in vivo efficacy.
