Tumor cell uptake and selectivity of gadolinium(III)-phosphonium complexes: The role of delocalisation at the phosphonium centre
Published 2017-12-01The synthesis of a series of bifunctional Gd(III) complexes 1–3 covalently bound to arylphosphonium cations possessing a varying degree of delocalisation at the phosphonium centre is presented. The influence of the degree ...Open AccessArticle -
Efficient radiosynthesis of a [18F]-phosphonium salt containing closo-carborane
Published 2017-11-15An efficient synthesis of an 18F-labelled phosphonium salt containing closo-carborane is described. The preparation of this salt was attempted using both single-step and two-step protocols, with greater success found for ...Open AccessArticle -
Site-specific synthesis of a hybrid boron-graphene salt
Published 2016-01-01We report the first example of an ionic graphene salt containing boron. An anionic charge is introduced to the graphene surface by means of 7,8-nido-[C2B9H11]− carborane clusters covalently and electronically bound to the ...Open AccessArticle -
Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence studies of a bromine-labelled cyclic RGD peptide interacting with individual tumor cells
Published 2013-01-01The first example of synchrotron X-ray fluorescence imaging of cultured mammalian cells in cyclic peptide research is reported. The study reports the first quantitative analysis of the incorporation of a bromine-labelled ...Open AccessArticle -
Supramolecular beta-cyclodextrin adducts of boron-rich DNA metallointercalators containing dicarba-closo-dodecaborane
Published 2013-08-28A chiral, isomeric series of novel boron-rich PtII metallointercalators ([PtL2(phen)](NO3)2: L = (x)-(1,y-closo-carboran-1-yl)pyrid-z-ylmethanol: x = R, S; y = 7, 12; z = 3, 4) wre prepared and fully characterized. By means ...Open AccessArticle
