Electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes are characterized by charge-transfer (CT) processes between electron-rich and electron-poor counterparts, typically resulting in a new absorption band at higher wavelength. In this paper, we report series of novel 2,6-di(imino)pyridine ligands with different aromatic substituents their 1:2 (metal/ligand) zinc(II) which the formation CT species is promoted...

The project report entitled, “ Charge Transfer Comlexes of drugs with  acceptors” is divided into two parts. Part-I deals with the spectrophotometric studies of molecular complexes of drugs with TCNE and Paraquat and Part II deals with Ion-pair charge transfer complexes of drugs with acidic triphenylmethane dyes. Each part is further divided into 1) Introduction 2) Experimental and 3) Results ...

By combining upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye molecules, multicolor emission based on energy transfer is achieved. The complexes can be dissolved in epoxy resin, and self-assembled hemispherical microstructures are fabricated through a hydrophobic effect. A luminescence temperature sensor takes advantage of the high temperature sensitivity of the complexes due to e...

We have recently shown that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP) is a lipid transfer protein that catalyzes two distinct reactions: movement of bacterial LPS (endotoxin) from LPS micelles to soluble CD14 (sCD14) and movement of LPS from micelles to reconstituted high density lipoprotein (R-HDL) particles. Here we show that LBP facilitates a third lipid transfer reaction: movement of L...

Four neutral mononuclear Cu(I) complexes, [Cu(pyin)(PPh(3))(2)] (1a), [Cu(pyin)(DPEphos)] (1b), [Cu(quin)(PPh(3))(2)] (2a) and [Cu(quin)(DPEphos)] (2b) (Hpyin = 2-(2-pyridyl)indole, Hquin = 2-(2-quinolyl)indole and DPEphos = bis(2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)ether) have been synthesized. X-Ray crystal structure analysis revealed that the central Cu(I) ion in all complexes is in a distorted tetrah...

There are only a few studies of noncovalent association in fluorous solvents and even fewer that are quantitative. A full understanding, particularly of stoichiometry and binding strength of noncovalent interactions in fluorous solvents could be very useful in improved molecular-receptor-based extractions, advancements in sensor technologies, crystal engineering, and supramolecular chemistry. T...

The rates of oxidation of ferrocene derivatives by brominated molecules R-Br (CBr3CN, CBr4, CBr3NO2, CBr3COCBr3, CBr3CONH2, CBr3F, and CBr3H) were consistent with the predictions of the outer-sphere dissociative electron-transfer theory. The similar redox-reactions of the R-Br electrophiles with the typical halogen-bond acceptors tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) or iodide were much faster ...
