Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and structural characterisation of cadmium(II) and zinc(II) coordination polymers with an angular dipyridyl bridging ligand: parallel interpenetration of two-dimensional sheets with 4.82 topology
TL;DR: In this article, a 1∶1 ratio of Cd(NO3)2 with dpt in MeCN-CH2Cl2 has been shown to obtain a 1.82 two-dimensional sheet in the solid state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective extraction and transport of the [PtCl6]2- anion through outer-sphere coordination chemistry.

TL;DR: A series of tripodal receptors designed to recognise the outer coordination sphere of the hexachlorometallate anion [PtCl(6)](2-), and thus show selectivity for ion-pair formation over chloride binding, has been synthesised and characterised.
Journal ArticleDOI
High pressure co-ordination chemistry of a palladium thioether complex: pressure versus electrons.
TL;DR: The mononuclear Pd(ii) complex converts at 44 kbar pressure into an intensely coloured chain polymer, which exhibits distorted octahedral co-ordination at the metal centre and an unprecedented [1233] conformation for the thioether crown.
Journal ArticleDOI
An acid labile arginine derivative for peptide synthesis: NG-2,2,5,7,8-pentamethylchroman-6-sulphonyl-L-arginine
TL;DR: A labile protecting group for the guanidine side chain function of arginine has been developed and cleaved rapidly in TFA or 50% TFA in dichloromethane at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing the solvent dependent photophysics of fac-[Re(CO)3(dppz-X2)Cl] (dppz-X2 = 11,12-X2-dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine); X = CH3, H, F, Cl, CF3).

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of electrochemical measurements, density-functional theory calculations, emission and time-resolved IR (TRIR) spectroscopic studies for fac-[ReCl(CO)3(dppz-X2)], (Dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine; X = CH3, H, F, Cl, CF3) are reported.
