Synthesis and biological activity of gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes with long aliphatic side chains (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. Seven imidazolium salts have been synthesized from octadecylimidazole (Im18). These salts differ in the length of the alkyl chain length bound to the second nitrogen atom of the imidazolium ring [R...

Highly conductive single-molecule wires with controlled orientation by coordination of metalloporphyrins (2014)
Journal Article

Porphyrin-based molecular wires are promising candidates for nanoelectronic and photovoltaic devices due to the porphyrin chemical stability and unique optoelectronic properties. An important aim toward exploiting single porphyrin molecules in nanosc... Read More about Highly conductive single-molecule wires with controlled orientation by coordination of metalloporphyrins.

Supramolecular gels based on a gemini imidazolium amphiphile as molecular material for drug delivery (2014)
Journal Article

A novel physical gel was obtained using a gemini imidazolium-based amphiphilic molecule dissolved in ethanol-water mixtures. The structure of the gel is comprised of intertwining nanofibres with widths of approximately 80 nm. The ethanol/water ratio...

Identification of bovine embryos cultured in groups by attachment of barcodes to the zona pellucida (2014)
Journal Article

The low number of oocytes collected from unstimulated donors by ovum pick-up means that embryos produced from each individual female have to be cultured individually or in very small groups. However, it has been demonstrated that single-embryo cultur... Read More about Identification of bovine embryos cultured in groups by attachment of barcodes to the zona pellucida.

Water-soluble gold nanoparticles based on imidazolium gemini amphiphiles incorporating piroxicam (2014)
Journal Article

Water soluble gold nanoparticles were synthesized in a single step using a double layer of a gemini imidazolium-based amphiphile as both reagent and stabilizer. The synthetic strategy exploits the amphiphilic nature of the ligand, and different ratio...

Molecular recognition of aliphatic amines by luminescent Zn-porphyrins (2014)
Journal Article

Two new porphyrins and their zinc(II) complexes have been synthesized, their photophysical properties studied, and their use in the molecular recognition of amines has been analyzed. The luminescence properties of both series of compounds show a decr... Read More about Molecular recognition of aliphatic amines by luminescent Zn-porphyrins.
