A Metal–Carbene Carbohydrate Amphiphile as a Low‐Molecular‐Mass Organometallic Gelator

Metal-containing nanofibers via coordination chemistry

“…They first prepared a carbohydrate derivative that functioned as a carbene ligand for Cr(CO) 5 (46, Fig. 45) [77]. This molecule was found to form stable gels, and high quality fibers were observed by TEM and SEM ( Fig.…”

Transition metal bioconjugates with an organometallic link between the metal and the biomolecular scaffold

“…10a) [46]. This Figure 10 a) Chromium carbene carbohydrate conjugate as a gelator [46]; b) pincer platinum glucose conjugate [47]; c) pincer platinum lactose conjugate for biosensor signal enhancement [47].…”

“…9) Building on these results, amphiphilic organometallic complexes have been prepared by modifying an acyclic glucose-derived chromium pentacarbonyl carbene complex with a long alkyl chain followed by the deprotection of the glucose moiety (Fig. 10a) [46]. This Figure 10 a) Chromium carbene carbohydrate conjugate as a gelator [46]; b) pincer platinum glucose conjugate [47]; c) pincer platinum lactose conjugate for biosensor signal enhancement [47].…”

Development of new methods in modern selective organic synthesis: preparation of functionalized molecules with atomic precision

“…806,827 DoÈ tz and co-workers 806 prepared the Fischer type cobalt carbene complex, which contained groups capable of gel formation, namely, a sugar residue and a hydrophobic alkyl tail. The resulting complex was able to gelate chloroform and mixtures of chloroform with toluene or benzene.…”
