Synthesis and tumour cell uptake studies of gadolinium(III)–phosphonium complexes
Published 2021The synthesis of a new series of Gd(III)-arylphosphonium complexes is described and the solution stability of selected compounds is reported. Their lipophilicity and uptake in human glial (SVG p12) and human glioblastoma ...Open AccessArticle -
Fluoride binding by an anionic receptor: tuning the acidity of amide NH groups for basic anion hydrogen bonding and recognition
Published 2019Here we report a family of bis-amide receptors for anion binding that contain carboxylic acid groups vicinal to the amide function. Deprotonation of the carboxylic acids decreases the acidity of amide NHs, switching on ...Open AccessArticle -
Supramolecular transmembrane anion transport: new assays and insights
Published 2018Transmembrane anion transport has been the focus of a number of supramolecular chemistry research groups for a number of years. Much of this research is driven by the biological relevance of anion transport and the search ...Open AccessArticle -
Anion Recognition Using a Simple Cyclic Peptide
Published 2020The head-to-tail cyclic hexapeptide, [cyclo(Val-Thr)3], was found to bind to a range of anions in DMSO-d6 with higher affinity for tetrahedral oxo-anions than halides. 1H NMR spectroscopy indicated that anion binding results ...Open AccessArticle -
Soft ferromagnetism in mixed valence Sr1_ xLa xTi0.5Mn0.5O3 perovskites
Published 2014The structural, magnetic and electrical properties of the mixed Ti–Mn oxides Sr1−xLaxTi0.5Mn0.5O3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) are reported. At room temperature the oxides have a cubic structure in space group Pmm for x ≤ 0.25 and ...Article
