Journal ArticleDOI

Carboxy and Phosphate Esters Cleavage with Mono- and Dinuclear Zinc(II) Macrocyclic Complexes in Aqueous Solution. Crystal Structure of [Zn2L1(μ-PP)2(MeOH)2](ClO4)2 (L1 = [30]aneN6O4, PP- = Diphenyl Phosphate)

TL;DR: The hydrolysis rate of BNP is increased almost 10-fold by the dinuclear [Zn(2)L1(OH)(2)](2+) complex with respect to the mononuclear L2-Zn-OH(+) one, indicating a cooperative role of the two metals in the hydrolytic mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermodynamic and structural properties of Gd(III) complexes with polyamino-polycarboxylic ligands: basic compounds for the development of MRI contrast agents

TL;DR: In this paper, the main purpose of the review is to collect equilibrium data in aqueous solution and structural properties in the solid state for significant examples of Gd(III) complexes with both acyclic and macrocyclic polyamino polycarboxylic ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermodynamics of phosphate and pyrophosphate anions binding by polyammonium receptors

TL;DR: Very stable 1:1 receptor-to-anion complexes are formed as discussed by the authors, and the stability trends of such complexes are not strictly determined by electrostatic forces, hydrogen bond interactions being of considerable importance in the complex formation, the thermodynamic data being consistent with different hydrogen bonding modes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carboxy and Diphosphate Ester Hydrolysis by a Dizinc Complex with a New Alcohol-Pendant Macrocycle

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the synthesis of the new alcohol-pendant macrocycle 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,4,7,16,19,22-hexaaza-10,13,25,28-tetraoxacyclotriacontane (L2) is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

CO2 Fixation by Novel Copper(II) and Zinc(II) Macrocyclic Complexes. A Solution and Solid State Study

TL;DR: In order to test the nucleophilic ability of the Zn(II) complexes, the kinetics of the promoted hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate has been studied and the spectromagnetic behavior of 4 has be studied.
