Dinuclear copper(II) complexes hold by crab-shaped pincer ligands: Syntheses, structures, luminescent and magnetic properties

A Toughening and Anti-Counterfeiting Benzotriazole-Based High-Performance Polymer Film Driven by Appropriate Intermolecular Coordination Force

It is of great significance to circumvent the inherent trade-off between strength and extensibility for epoxy resins. Herein dynamic Cu-benzotriazole cross-links are incorporated, as the appropriate intermolecular coordination interaction, into high performance epoxy networks, and the resulting epoxy resins exhibits outstanding thermal stability and mechanical properties, their strength and extensibility are simultaneously improved. Additionally, local manipulation of coordination crosslinking confers the film with anti-counterfeiting function.

A polycarboxylic chelating ligand for efficient resin purification of His-tagged proteins expressed in mammalian systems

We describe the synthesis of a novel polyamino polycarboxylic ligand, its ability to coordinate metal-ions and attachment to a solid support designed for protein purification through Immobilised Metal-ion Affinity Chromatography (IMAC). The resin was found to be highly efficient for purification of His-tagged HCV E2 glycoproteins expressed in 293T mammalian cells.

Synthesis of quinolinyl-based pincer copper(ii) complexes: an efficient catalyst system for Kumada coupling of alkyl chlorides and bromides with alkyl Grignard reagents

Well-defined quinolinamide-based pincer copper complexes have been developed and demonstrated in the Kumada coupling reaction of nonactivated alkyl chlorides and bromides with alkyl magnesium chloride.
