A new Naringenin Schiff-base ligand (H3L) and its complex, [La(H2L)2(NO3).3H2O], have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductivities, mass spectra, 1H NMR, thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), UV spectra, and IR spectra. Spectrometric titrations, ethidium bromide displacement experiments, and viscosity measurements indicate that the two compounds, especially the La(III) complex, strongly bind with calf-thymus DNA, presumably via an intercalation mechanism. The intrinsic binding constants of the La(III) complex and ligand with DNA were 1.83 x 10(7) and 9.46 x 10(5) M(-1), respectively. Comparative cytotoxic activities of the La(III) complex and ligand were also determined by MTT [3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazoyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide] and SRB (sulforhodamine B) methods. The results showed that the La(III) complex had significant cytotoxic activity against the tested cells.

In the binuclear title complex, [La(CHO)(CHN)(HO)](NO)·0.5HO, the two lanthanum ions are nine coordinate in a distorted trigonal-prismatic geometry. Each La ion is bonded to three N atoms of the Schiff base, 1-(pyridin-2-yl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-ene)hydrazine and is coordinated by one acetate group, which acts in -bidentate mode and two acetate groups that act in -mode between the two La ions.

Bis-1,2,4-triazine ligands are amongst the most promising soft N-donor ligands for the partitioning of trivalent actinides from trivalent lanthanides; a key separation proposed in the future reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels. In an effort to improve the extraction properties of these benchmark ligands, we propose herein a general ligand design approach that is inspired by the field of drug discovery, and we apply it to a new class of ligands in which the bidentate 3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazine unit of the benchmark ligands is replaced by a bidentate 1,2,4-triazine-3-carboxamide unit. A series of nine novel ligands were synthesized by reactions of readily available ethyl 1,2,4-triazine-3-carboxylate building blocks with different polyamine cores and evaluated for their ability to extract and separate Am(III) and Cm(III) from Eu(III).

A novel Ce(III) complex with the triazole ligand 2b, which presents four H-bonded sites with amino acids of the MMP-2 receptor, was synthesized. The experimental IR and Raman spectra of this Ce(III) complex were well-interpreted based on their comparison to the theoretical scaled spectra using the scaling equations determined by two procedures and four density functional theory (DFT) levels. Therefore, the structure predicted for the synthesized Ce(III) complex was clearly characterized and confirmed.

Lanthanum(III)-amino acid chelate mitigates copper(II) stress in rice (Oryza sativa).

Lanthanum (La(III)) is recognized for its ability to mitigate heavy metal stress in plants. However, the inorganic La(III) salts and lanthanum oxide nanoparticles (LaO NPs) extensively used in agriculture are prone to soil immobilization, thereby compromising their bioavailability and posing environmental risks. This study synthesized and characterized the lanthanum(III)-amino acid chelate (La(III)-AA) from soybean protein isolate (SPI) hydrolysates.

The material with high adsorption capacity and selectivity is essential for recovering rare earth elements (REE) from ammonium (NH-N)-rich wastewater. Although the emerging metal-organic framework (MOF) has gained intensive attention in REE recovery, there are scientific difficulties unsolved regarding restricted adsorption capacity and selectivity, hindering its extensive engineering applications. In this work, a diethylenetriamine pentaacetic (DTPA)-modified MOF material (MIL-101(Cr)-NH-DTPA) was prepared through an amidation reaction.
