Self-assembly of novel trimers using dipyrromethene ligands
Ligands comprising two dipyrromethene units linked at the beta-position have been used to prepare trimeric complexes with Zn-II and Co-II; the structure of the Zn-II complex is confirmed by X-ray analysis. -
Sodium distribution in sodium tellurite glasses probed with spin-echo NMR
We present results on the spatial distribution of sodium cations in sodium tellurite glasses as a function of sodium oxide content, obtained using a spin-echo NMR experiment. Glasses were studied with sodium oxide content ... -

Spin waves and quantum criticality in the frustrated XY pyrochlore antiferromagnet Er2Ti2O7
We report detailed measurements of the low temperature magnetic phase diagram of Er2Ti2O7. Heat capacity and time- of- flight neutron scattering studies of single crystals reveal unconventional low- energy states. Er3+ ... -
Step-wise synthetic approach is necessary to access g-conjugates of folate: folate-conjugated prodigiosenes
Despite the vast literature that describes reacting folic acid with a pharmacophore, this route is ineffective in providing the correct regioisomer of the resulting conjugate. We herein present a step-wise route to the ... -
Structural principles and amorphouslike thermal conductivity of Na-doped Si clathrates
The postulated low thermal conductivity and the possibility of altering the electronic conductivity of metal-doped clathrates with semiconducting host elements have stimulated great interest in exploring these compounds ... -
Structure and Disorder of Phosphates in Ag2o-Agi-P2o5 Glasses
We directly probe the microstructure of the different phosphates in several glasses in the Ag2O-AgI-P2O5 system, by means of variable angle correlation NMR spectroscopy. This two-dimensional experiment separates the ... -
Structure, thermal, and transport properties of the clathrates Sr8Zn8Ge38, Sr8Ga16Ge30, and Ba8Ga16Si30
The structural parameters, thermal properties, and transport properties of three type I clathrates, namely Sr8Zn8Ge38, Sr8Ga16Ge30, and Ba8Ga16Si30, have been determined at or below room temperature. The structural ... -
A study of phase transitions in cadmium perchlorate hexahydrate (Cd(ClO4)2.6H2O) by adiabatic calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy.
A calorimetric study of Cd(ClO4)2.6H2O from 20 to 345 K shows 3 phase transformations, at 124.8, 238.45, and 271.62 K. IR spectra indicate that the low-temp. structure (below 124.8 K) contains 1 type of [Cd(OH2)6]2+, of ... -
Synthesis and Antimalarial Activity of Prodigiosenes
Several analogues of the natural compound prodigiosin with modified A- and C-rings were synthesised as were some of their tin, cobalt, boron and zinc complexes. The antimalarial activity of these prodigiosenes was evaluated ... -
Synthesis and biological evaluation of prodigiosene conjugates of porphyrin, estrone and 4-hydroxytamoxifen
To generate the first series of prodigiosene conjugates, the tripyrrolic skeleton was appended to estrone, tamoxifen and porphyrin frameworks by way of ester linkers and various hydrocarbon chain lengths. The ability of ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of the unsubstituted dipyrrin and 4,4-dichloro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene: improved synthesis and functionalisation of the simplest BODIPY framework
An improved and scalable synthesis of the unsubstituted 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene framework facilitates access to the previously unreported parent dipyrrin HCl salt, as well as 4,4-dichloro-4-bora-3a,4a- ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Pyrrolyldipyrrin F-BODIPYs
A series of synthetic analogs of the tripyrrolic natural product prodigiosin were complexed with boron trifluoride to generate the corresponding F-BODIPYs. The maximum wavelengths of absorption and emission of the ...
