Discrete cubic water cluster: An unusual building block of 3D supramolecular network

Design, synthesis and characterization of novel chromone based-copper(ii) antitumor agents with N,N-donor ligands: comparative DNA/RNA binding profile and cytotoxicity

“…S9 † ). 57 Enhancement in intensity of the band at 270 nm with increase in concentration of complexes 1–3 was in agreement with the intercalative binding mode of complexes with tRNA. Furthermore, absence of any shift in the CD bands at 210 and 270 nm revealed that there was no change in the conformation of tRNA.…”

Synthesis, spectral, thermal, crystal structure, Hirschfeld analysis of [bis(triamine)Cadimium(II)][Cadimum(IV)tetra-bromide] complexes and their thermolysis to CdO nanoparticles

“…The design and development of novel functional materials utilizing non-covalent interactions in complexes have attracted considerable attention [17–20]. Various weak dispersive interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and other weak interactions involving π-cloud of the aromatic ring represents the backbone of self-assembly process to stabilize the crystals [22].…”

Mild, green copper/4-dimethylaminopyridine catalysed aerobic oxidation of alcohols mediated by nitroxyl radicals in water

“…The tetracopper(II) structure unit is unexpected, as a mononuclear Cu(DMAP) 4 Cl 2 complex would form without the presence of TEMPO during the reaction of CuCl 2 with DMAP as previously reported. 17 Although we were unable to obtain crystals of intermediates from a CuCl/DMAP/TEMPO reaction system, the observation of 1 has important implications in the possible active catalytic species, considering that CuCl 2 also served as a good metal source for the aerobic oxidation in water (entry 14, Table 1). 1 was also tested as a catalyst in the presence of added TEMPO.…”
