Journal ArticleDOI
Structures of a novel trinuclear palladium(II) dithiocarbamate complex and of bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)dibromopalladium(IV)
TL;DR: In this article, the crystal structure of bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)dibromopalladium(IV) (I) has been determined and it has a distorted octahedral geometry, with the bromide ligands mutually cis.
Journal ArticleDOI
An eight-coordinate zinc complex containing the highly pre-organized ligand 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid: Solvothermal synthesis, supramolecular structure and CSD studies
TL;DR: A new anionic coordination complex of Zn(II) containing the highly pre-organized ligand 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylate (PDA), (H3O)2[Zn(PDA)2]·2CH3NO2·2H2O·(1), has been synthesized by solvothermal methods and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
C-H activation in a co-ordinated catenand: Ortho-metallation of cat30 by palladium(II)
Alexander J. Blake,Christiane Dietrich-Buchecker,Timothy I. Hyde,Jean-Pierre Sauvage,Martin Schröder +4 more
TL;DR: Insertion of Pd2+ into the catenand ligand cat30 yields the monocation [PdII(cat30–H)]+via ortho-metallation of one of the ligand phenyl rings to give square planar co-ordination by an N3C donor set.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescent probe for detection of bacteria: conformational trigger upon bacterial reduction of an azo bridge
Nicholas J. W. Rattray,Waleed A. Zalloum,David Mansell,Joe Latimer,Carl H. Schwalbe,Alexander J. Blake,Elena V. Bichenkova,Sally Freeman +7 more
TL;DR: Using biomimetic chemical reduction or Clostridium perfringens cell extract containing azoreductase, the dimer-fluorescent probe is reduced to the tetra-equatorial 2,4-O-bisdansyl-cyclohexyl-3,5-bisammonium salt which exhibits fluorescence indicative of a dansyl monomer.
