Phosphate anions are one of the most important constituents of living systems. Together with
heterocyclic bases and sugars, phosphates make up DNA, the hereditary element of living …

Reversible anion binding at lanthanide centres in aqueous media has emerged as an
effective means of signalling and sensing the presence of selected anions. The constitution …

Inorganic phosphate has numerous biomedical functions. Regulated primarily by the
kidneys, phosphate reaches abnormally high blood levels in patients with advanced renal …

Over past 15 years, lanthanide complexes have been studied in a wide range of different

The ability to study cellular metabolism and enzymatic processes involving adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) is impeded by the lack of imaging probes capable of signalling the …

In this microreview we describe the principle of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)
occurring between closely spaced energy-donor and-acceptor molecules. The theoretical …

A series of five europium (III) complexes has been prepared from heptadentate N5O2

A set of 15 lanthanide-containing model systems was used to evaluate the performance of
15 commonly available density functionals (SVWN, SPL, BLYP, G96LYP, mPWLYP, B3LYP …

Density functional theory (DFT) has become a general tool to investigate the structure and
properties of complicated inorganic molecules, such as lanthanide (III) coordination …
