AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The synthesis and coordination properties of two fluorescent chemosensors, featuring [9]aneN (1,4,7-triazacyclononane; L1) and [12]aneNS (1-aza-4,7,10-trithiacyclododecane; L2) as receptor units, and a quinoline pendant arm with an amide group as a functional group spacer are described. The optical responses of L1 and L2 in the presence of several metal ions were analysed in MeCN/H O (1 : 4 v/v) solutions. A selective chelation enhancement of fluorescence (CHEF) effect was observed in the presence of Zn in the case of L1, and in the presence of Cd in the case of L2, following the formation of a 1 : 1 and a 1 : 2 metal/ligand complex, respectively, which was also confirmed by potentiometric measurements. H and C NMR measurements in CD CN/CDCl in combination with molecular mechanics calculations show that for both complexes of L1 and L2 with Zn and Cd , respectively, the coordination of the carbonyl group from the pendant arm could be the origin of the observed optical selectivity.

Copper radioisotopes can be used for imaging as well as for therapy and, thus, can form ideal theranostic pairs. The Cu(II) complexes of cross-bridged cyclam (cb-cyclam) derivatives are considered to be highly stable . However, the complexes are mostly formed under harsh conditions not compatible with sensitive biomolecules.

A flexible tripodal pyrrole-imine ligand (HL) has been used to facilitate the controlled and sequential single-electron reductions of the uranyl dication from the U(VI) oxidation state to U(V) and further to U(IV), processes that are important to understanding the reduction of uranyl and its environmental remediation. The uranyl(VI) complexes UO(HL)(sol) (sol = THF, py) were straightforwardly accessed by the transamination reaction of HL with UO{N(SiMe)}(THF) and adopt 'hangman' structures in which one of the pyrrole-imine arms is pendant. While deprotonation of this arm by LiN(SiMe) causes no change in uranyl oxidation state, single-electron reduction of uranyl(VI) to uranyl(V) occurred on addition of two equivalents of KN(SiMe) to UO(HL)(sol).

A novel class of thienyltriazine triamides (TTTAs) was facile synthesized and firstly used as cathode interlayers (CILs) for organic solar cells (OSCs). By utilizing different aromatic arms and pendant polar groups, their optoelectronic properties and aggregation behaviors were effectively modulated. The combination of thienyltriazine (TT) core, naphthylamide arm and imidazole pendant group endows TT-N-M with suitable energy levels, intensified work function tunability, higher conductivity, and well-balanced crystallinity and film-forming ability, boosting both the performance and stability of OSCs significantly.

In recent years, the coordination chemistry of high-spin Fe(III) complexes has increasingly attracted interest due to their potential as effective alternatives to Gd(III)-based MRI contrast agents. This paper discusses the results from our study on Fe(III) complexes with two EDTA derivatives, each modified with either one (EDTA-BOM) or two (EDTA-BOM) benzyloxymethylene (BOM) groups on the acetic arm(s). These pendant hydrophobic groups enable the complexes to form noncovalent adducts with human serum albumin (HSA), leading to an observed increase in relaxivity due to the reduction in molecular tumbling.
