A new fluorescent macrocyclic structure (L1) bearing two naphthalene units at both ends of a cyclic polyaminic chain containing phenanthroline was investigated with potentiometric and fluorescence (steady-state time-resolved) techniques. The emission spectra show the simultaneous presence three bands: short wavelength band (naphthalene monomer), middle (phenanthroline emission), long-wavelength band. All bands were found to be dependent on protonation state unit (including structures)....
MnII complexes of scorpiand-type azamacrocycles constituted by a tretrazapyridinophane core appended with an ethylamino tail including 2- or 4-quinoline functionalities show very appealing in vitro SOD activity. The observed behaviour is related to structural and electrochemical parameters.
The acid−base and coordination properties of a family pseudopeptidic ligands with C2 symmetry derived from valine (4a−e) have been studied using variety techniques as model for metal in peptides proteins. Cu2+ cation has selected studies, although, comparison, some results Zn2+ are also presented. Good agreement obtained between the by potentiometric titrations, spectroscopic analysis, mass spectrometry (ESI) studies. These highlight potential use ESI MS characterizing nature complex species...
We report here the remarkable catalytic efficiency observed for two Pd(II) azamacrocyclic complexes supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) toward oxygen reduction reactions. Beyond a main (>90%) 4e- process and an onset potential close to or better than those of commercial Pt electrodes, MWCNTs functionalization strategy, aimed at chemically defined Pd(II)-based centers, allowed half-cell exceed proton-exchange-membrane fuel-cell reference/target mass activity set by U.S....
Background The clinical use of purified SOD enzymes has strong limitations due to their large molecular size, high production cost and immunogenicity. These could be compensated by using instead synthetic mimetic compounds low weight. Background/Methodology We have recently reported that two compounds, the MnII complexes polyamines Pytren2Q Pytren4Q, displayed antioxidant activity in bacteria yeast. Since frequently molecules with properties or free-radical scavengers also anti-inflammatory...
The binding properties of HL1, HL2, and HL3 ligands toward Cu(II) Zn(II) ions, constituted by tetraaza-macrocyclic rings decorated with pyrimidine pendants, were investigated means potentiometric UV spectrophotometric measurements in aqueous solution, the objective using related HL-M(II) (HL = HL1-HL3; M Cu, Zn) complexes for preparation hybrid MWCNT-HL-M(II) materials based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), through an environmentally friendly noncovalent procedure.

A new G-(H2L)-Pd heterogeneous catalyst has been prepared via a self-assembly process consisting in the spontaneous adsorption, water at room temperature, of macrocyclic H2L ligand on graphene (G) (G + = G-(H2L)), followed by decoration macrocycle with Pd2+ ions (G-(H2L) G-(H2L)-Pd) under same mild conditions. This supramolecular approach is sustainable (green) procedure that preserves special characteristics and furnishes an efficient for Cu-free Sonogashira cross coupling reaction between...
Two new fluorescent macrocyclic structures bearing two naphthalene (Np) units at both ends of a cyclic polyaminic chain were investigated with potentiometric, fluorescence (steady-state and time-resolved) laser flash photolysis techniques. The emission studies show the presence an excimer species whose formation depends on protonation state polyamine chains implying existence bending movement (occurring in ground first singlet excited state), which allows to approach interact. For comparison...
