The activation of a CX bond with a transition metal leading to the CC bond formation has
furnished an enormous variety of fascinating transformations in organic synthesis. 1-6 The …

In this tutorial review the use of macrocyclic complexes as building blocks in a selection of
supramolecular systems is discussed with emphasis on the properties, such as enhanced …

Some 20 years ago, I was privileged to share in writing a book on the descriptive chemistry
of the 4d, 5d, 4f and 5f metals that included these eight elements within its compass (SA …

The synthesis, properties and structures of complexes of mono-, bi-, poly-dentate and
macrocyclic seleno-and telluro-ethers with both d-block and p-block elements reported in …

A range of metal thioether macrocyclic complexes has been used as templating agents in
the preparation of extended multi-dimensional polyiodide arrays. A selection of unusual and …

A PVC membrane sensor for mercury (II) ions based on hexathia-18-crown-6-tetraone as
membrane carrier was prepared. The sensor exhibits a Nernstian response for Hg2+ ions …

A highly selective optical sensor was developed for the Hg2+ determination by chemical
immobilization of 2-[(2-sulfanylphenyl) ethanimidoyl] phenol (L), on an agarose membrane …

Considerable progress has been made in recent years in controlling the assembly and
orientations of individual molecules to create specific aggregates. It is the aim of this review …

Modeling approaches have been used to developinsight into the nature of the redox active
site of the free-radical-containing copper metalloenzyme galactose oxidase. The optical …

A highly sensitive and selective flourimetric optode membrane for the determination of trace
amounts of Ag+ ions was prepared. The plasticized PVC-membrane incorporating …
