Host–guest interactions: ferrocene in KY zeolite

Computationally designed monomers and polymers for molecular imprinting of theophylline and its derivatives. Part I

“…4. The simulations for the functional monomers indicate that itaconic acid (21) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (10) form the most stable complexes with all of the four ligands in the equilibrated states. 1-Vinylimidazole (1), acrylamide (6), acrylic acid (7) and acrylonitrile (8) are also fairly good candidates for the imprinting monomers.…”

“…Applications of imprinting technology are still very few and the field is relatively underdeveloped. Imprinting technology has a great potential for growth, for example, in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries [8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Formation and reactivity of CrIIcarbonyls hosted in polar and non polar supports

“…In particular, the inclusion of organometallic complexes inside host frameworks gives the possibility of several applications such as electronic devices, optical materials or heterogeneous catalysis. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Metallocenes are organometallic substrates of interest to investigate potential reactivity enhancement; among them, chromocene (Cp 2 Cr) is a challenging candidate, both for applicative (being precursor of the well known Union Carbide olefin catalyst 8 ) and for theoretical reasons (because the modeling of open shell systems is still a challenge). [9][10][11][12][13] The experimental approaches adopted so far to investigate the properties and the reactivity of these systems (such as matrix isolation technique 14 and dissolution in a solvent 15,16 ), suffered of some disadvantages.…”

Computationally designed monomers and polymers for molecular imprinting of theophylline—part II

“…Imprinting technology has a great potential for growth, for example, in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries [8][9][10][11][12][13]. Standard molecular imprinting is a process by which functional monomers are allowed to self-assemble around a template molecule and are subsequently cross-linked into place [14][15][16][17].…”
