Interest in using 89Zr is rapidly increasing for immuno-PET applications due to its unique characteristics and increased availability. The focus of this study was to develop an optimized semi-automated methodology for producing 89Zr-oxalate/89Zr-chloride, and evaluate the potential application o...

N-Acetylchondrosine was activated at pH 4.75 with excess 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride to give an O-acylisourea that consists of equimolar amounts of N-acetylchondrosine and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylurea, with concomitant uptake of 0.94 mol of hydrogen ion p...

ObjectiveWe explore a plausible method of targeting bendamustine hydrochloride (BM) to circulatory monocytes by exploiting their intrinsic endocytic/phagocytic capability.

The present study describes the synthesis, characterization, DNA binding and in vitro biological evaluation of ferrocene-enhanced thioureas. The new complexes (N1–N6) were prepared by reacting ferrocenyl anilines (A-B) with freshly prepared isothiocyanates in dry acetone. A crystallographic stu...

A ferrocenyl boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) has been developed and utilized as a dark quencher to construct a cathepsin B-responsive fluorescent probe and photosensitizer. The smart fluorescent probe and photosensitizer (Pc-FcQ) contains a zinc(II) phthalocyanine as the fluorescent and photosensi...

A series of 4′-ferrocenyl-2,2′:6′,2′'-terpyridine coordination metal complexes, [M(Fctpy)2][PF6]x with M = Co (2), Fe (3), and Rh (4) and x = 2 (for 2 and 3) or 3 (for 4), was subjected to an electrochemical and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic study. The formal reduction potential of ...

In this work, a series of Mannich bases bearing ferrocenyl groups were synthesized via Mannich reactions. The effects of different conditions on the reaction were explored, and the newly synthesized compounds were well characterized by NMR and FT-IR. All compounds have been screened for in vitro...

Four synthesized d10 metal complexes, namely, ferrocenyl based pyridyl functionalized dithiocarbamates macro-cyclic metal-organic coordination polymers, [M(L)2]∞ (M = Zn(II), L = (N-ferrocenyl-methyl-N-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)dithiocarbamate Zn-2; Cd (II), L = (N-ferrocenyl-methyl-N-pyridin-3-ylmeth...

Shaped carbon nanomaterials (SCNMs) were synthesized via the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique by using typical metallocenes (ferrocene, nickelocene, cobaltocene, and ruthenocene), and more interestingly, by use of novel ferrocenyl imidazolium derivatives, containing -Cl (FcImCl), -NO2 ...

Phenyl- and bioisosteric ferrocenyl-derived aminoquinoline-benzimidazole hybrid compounds were synthesised and evaluated for their in vitro antiplasmodial activity against the chloroquine-sensitive NF54 and multi-drug resistant K1 strains of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. All...

A series of ferrocenyl functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNT-Fc-n,n = 1,2,3) were synthesized and used as electrode materials for high performance supercapacitors. The results of galvanostatic charge-discharge measurement show that the specific capacitances of CNT-Fc-3 based electrode increase wi...

The synthesis of ferrocenyl-terminated pyridylphenylene dendrimers based on trifunctional core via the Diels-Alder cycloaddition of ferrocenyl-containing cyclopentadienone and ethynyl terminated phenylene derivatives is presented. Dendrimers of two generations were synthesized and characterized ...

This study highlights that dicyanobis(phenanthroline)iron(III); [FeIII(phen)2(CN)2]+ oxidises 1-ferrocenylethanone; [CpFeIICpCOMe], and 1-ferrocenylethanol; [CpFeIICpCHOHMe] through a complex mechanism. The kinetic data suggest that the reaction(s) whilst undergoing completion passed through thr...

Iron tetrasulfophthalocyanine (FePcS) has been anchored on the surface of functionalized MCM-48 and MCM-41 silicas by means of chemical bonding to aminosilane groups. The prepared materials, FePcS/NH2-MCM-48 and FePcS/NH2-MCM-41, were characterized by diffuse reflectance UV–vis and infrared (IR...

We report the characteristics and electrochemical sensing features of iron-tetrasulfophthalocyanine (FeTSPc)-functionalized graphene nanosheets (GNs) composites. The noncovalently FeTSPc-functionalized GNs (GNs–FeTSPc) possess an improved solubility in aqueous solution and the GNs–FeTSPc film ...

A Fe-based macromolecule composite was synthesized by functionalizing graphene nanosheets (GNs) with iron tetrasulfophthalocyanine (FeTSPc), a non-noble electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media in a simple and greener way. Utilizing GNs as a support can avoid FeTSPc ...

The Vilsmeir formylation of 1,1′-diethylferrocene, [3]- and [4]ferrocenophane has been shown to produce mainly, but not exclusively, the β-isomer and the ratio of β/α for the acetylation of [3]-ferrocenophane depends on the reagent used in the reaction. These aldehydes are directly converted...
