Spherical assemblies of the type [PdnL2n]2n+ can be obtained from PdII salts and curved N-donor ligands, L. It is well established that the bent angle, α, of the ligand is a decisive factor in the self-assembly process, with larger angles leading to comple ...
Three new lanthanide heterocyclic beta-diketonate complexes [Dy(PPI)(3)(EtOH)(2)] (1), [Dy(PPI)(3)(DPEPO)] (2), and [Tb(PPI)(3)(DPEPO)] (3) [where HPPI = 3-pheny1-4-propanoyl-5-isoxazolone and DPEPO = bis(2(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)ether oxide] have been s ...
Electron-spin relaxation is one of the determining factors in the efficacy of MRI contrast agents. Of all the parameters involved in determining relaxivity it remains the least well understood, particularly as it relates to the structure of the complex. On ...
There are only few structural thermodynamic and kinetic studies on labile octahedral complexes available today. Octahedral paramagnetic compounds of cobalt(II) have an optimum electronic relaxation leading to NMR spectra with good resolution. Therefore, th ...
