Synthesis,Biological Studies of Macrocyclic Transition Metal Complexes


Book Description

This book presents the important facts about the synthesis and biological studies of macrocyclic transition metal complexes. A detailed synthetic discussion of the reaction steps in each mechanism and their relationship with transition metal complexes has been considered. Macrocyclic ligands and their transition metal complexes depends upon the nature of reactants and the corresponding metal ion. The macrocyclic ligand are a growing class of compounds with varying chemistry a wide range of different molecular topologies and set of donor atoms. Aza type ligands appear as very promising to be used as antifertile, antibacterial, antifungal and other biological properties. Macrocyclic metal complexes play a central role in the construction of molecular materials, which display magnetic properties and find applications in material and supramolecular chemistry and biochemistry. It is believed that the present book will provide a succinct and clear introduction to synthesis, characterization and biological studies macrocyclic ligands with transition metal complexes that meets the needs of researchers at a variety of levels in several disciplines.







Coordination and Transport Properties of Macrocyclic Compounds in Solution


Book Description

This book covers the fundamental physical principles of the selective complexation, extraction, and transport of ions and molecules by macrocyclic compounds - both natural and synthetic. It also treats the use of these compounds for the extraction and transport of substrates in chemical and biological systems. Included are solution kinetic and thermodynamic properties of the complexes, along with relevant experimental methods, complemented by solution and solid-state structures. General and specific methods for the synthesis of macro(poly)cyclic specialised ligands are described. The book is useful as additional reading for undergraduate courses in chemistry (e.g. inorganic complexation chemistry, analytical chemistry, solution kinetics, synthesis) and biochemistry (ion transport/membrane phenomena); for graduate students in chemistry and biochemistry; for research workers in macrocyclic chemistry and biophysical chemistry; and for industrial laboratories involved in metal ion extraction and recovery.







Transition Metals in Coordination Environments


Book Description

This book focuses on the electronic properties of transition metals in coordination environments. These properties are responsible for the unique and intricate activity of transition metal sites in bio- and inorganic catalysis, but also pose challenges for both theoretical and experimental studies. Written by an international group of recognized experts, the book reviews recent advances in computational modeling and discusses their interplay using experiments. It covers a broad range of topics, including advanced computational methods for transition metal systems; spectroscopic, electrochemical and catalytic properties of transition metals in coordination environments; metalloenzymes and biomimetic compounds; and spin-related phenomena. As such, the book offers an invaluable resource for all researchers and postgraduate students interested in both fundamental and application-oriented research in the field of transition metal systems.
