Synthesis, characterisation and ROP catalytic evaluation of Cu(II) complexes bearing 2,2ʹ-diphenylglycine-derived moieties. Polyhedron, 195, Article 114977. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.poly.2020.114977

The treatment of CuX2 (X = Cl, Br) with an equimolar amount of 2-2ʹ-diphenylglycine (DpgH) in EtOH at reflux afforded, after work up, the complexes [CuCl(Dpg)(EtOH)]2 (1) and [(CuBr2)2(Dpg)2Cu(EtOH)4] (2), respectively. The compounds were obtained mi... Read More about Synthesis, characterisation and ROP catalytic evaluation of Cu(II) complexes bearing 2,2ʹ-diphenylglycine-derived moieties.

Evaluation of a bispidine‐based chelator for gallium‐68 and of the porphyrin conjugate as PET/PDT theranostic agent (2020)
Journal Article
Price, T., Yap, S. Y., Gillet, R., Savoie, H., Charbonnière, L. J., Boyle, R. W., Nonat, A. M., & Stasiuk, G. J. (2020). Evaluation of a bispidine‐based chelator for gallium‐68 and of the porphyrin conjugate as PET/PDT theranostic agent. Chemistry: a European journal, 26(34), 7602-7608. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201905776

In this study a bispidine ligand has been applied to the complexation of gallium(III) and radiolabelled with gallium-68 for the first time. Despite its 5-coordinate nature, the resulting complex is stable in serum for over two hours, demonstrating a...
