Dipicolylamine (dpa) based platinum(II) complexes [Pt(L1-3)Cl]Cl (1-3), where L2 and L3 are green and red light BODIPY-tagged dpa ligand and L1 is benzyl derivative of dpa, were synthesized, characterized and...

A cisplatin-based platinum(IV) prodrug, [Pt(NH3)2Cl2(OH)(L1)], having L1 as red-light active boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) pendant, was synthesized, characterized and its application as a chemo-cum-photodynamic therapy agent studied. Me-L1 as the ligand precursor...

Investigations of two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) have been achieved with two model experimental systems, covering two distinct, non-overlapping regimes of the 2DES phase diagram, namely the quantum liquid phase in semiconducting heterostructures and the classical phases observed in electrons confined above the surface of liquid helium. Multielectron bubbles in liquid helium offer an exciting possibility to bridge this gap in the phase diagram, as well as to study the properties of electrons on curved flexible surfaces. However, this approach has been limited because all experimental studies have so far been transient in nature. Here we demonstrate that it is possible to trap and manipulate multielectron bubbles in a conventional Paul trap for several hundreds of milliseconds, enabling reliable measurements of their physical properties and thereby gaining valuable insight to various aspects of curved 2DES that were previously unexplored.
