In 1967 Pederson reported the synthesis of macrocyclic crown ethers and their ability to
selectively bind alkali and alkaline earth ions, 1, 2 and since then supramolecular …

Hydroxamic acids, RCC (O) N (RN) OH (RC= alkyl/aryl; RN= alkyl/aryl or H), coordinate a
wide variety of transition metal ions predominantly as the monoanionic hydroxamato or …

The strategy of using 'metal oximates' building blocks as ligands to synthesize various homo-
and hetero-metal paramagnetic complexes is reviewed. The modular approach with 'metal …

Metallacrowns (MCs) obtained by changing the single bond [Csingle bondCsingle bondO]
single bond fragments of organic crown ethers on single bond [Msingle bondNsingle bondO] …

This review on hydroxamic acids deals with their efficacy as inhibitors of enzymes including
cyclooxygenases, their synthesis, the complexity and structural diversity of their metal …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses high-nuclearity paramagnetic 3d-metal
complexes with oxygen-and nitrogen-donor ligands. The studies of high-nuclearity iron …

Chiral metallacrowns can be prepared by the reaction of resolved amino hydroxamic acids
with divalent metal ions. The 15-metallacrown-5 structure is achieved by the reaction of α …

The outstanding chemical and structural features of 12-MC-4 metallacrowns allow for
versatile applications in magneto-chemical research. Herein, we present three novel …

Five metal complexes of the third-generation quinolone antimicrobial agent sparfloxacin with
Fe3+, VO2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ and UO22+ have been prepared and characterized with …

The effect on DNA and the antibacterial activity of a series of high nuclearity nickel
compounds with three, four and five metal atoms were examined. The compounds have a …
