Pyrophosphate mimics: Iminodiacetic acid phosphoramidates of deoxyadenosine monophosphate analogues, either bearing an extended aliphatic chain in the amino acid function or a phosphonic acid moiety, serve as potential substrates for HIV‐1 reversetranscriptase. Iminodipropionicacid was found to be an excellent mimic of the pyrophosphate.
N-Benzyl and N-aryl bis(phospha-Mannich adducts): Synthesis and catalytic activity of the related bidentate chelate platinum complexes in hydroformylation
The microwave-assisted double Kabachnik–Fields (phospha-Mannich) reaction of benzylamine and arylamines, two equivalents of paraformaldehyde and the P(O)H reagent, such as dialkyl phosphites, ethyl phenyl-H-phosphinate and diphenylphosphine oxide gave the bis(P(O)CH2)amine derivatives in good yields. The bis(diphenylphosphinoxido) derivatives were converted to the corresponding ring platinum complexes
Non-covalent Conjugates between Cationic Polyamino Acids and GdIII Chelates: A Route for Seeking Accumulation of MRI-Contrast Agents at Tumor Targeting Sites
Three novel Gd chelates containing on their external surface pendant phosphonate and carboxylate groups, which promote the interaction with the positively charged groups of polyornithine and polyarginine, have been synthesized. Their solution structures have been assessed on the basis of H-1- and P-31-NMR spectra of the Eu and Yb analogues. A thorough investigation of the relaxometric (H-1 and O-17) Properties of the Gd chelates has been carried out and the observed relaxivities have been accounted for the sum of three contributions arising from water molecules in the first, second, and outer coordination layers, respectively. It has been found that the occurrence of a tight second coordination coating renders the dissociation of the water molecule directly coordinated to the Gd ion more difficult. The binding interactions between the negatively charged Gd chelates and the positively charged groups of polyornithine (ca. 140 residues) and polyarginine (ca. 204 residues) have been evaluated by means of the proton relaxation enhancement (PRE) method. Although the binding interaction decreases markedly in the presence of competitive anions in the solution medium, the affinity is strong enough that in blood serum it is possible to meet the conditions where most of the chelate is bound to the polyamino acid substrate. On this basis one may envisage a novel route for a MRI location of tumors as it is known that positively charged polyamino acids selectively bind to tumors having a greater negative charge than non-tumor cells.

Addition of Tb3+ salts to a solution of a (YbLD) complex in D2O resulted in the formation of [(YbLD)(2)Tb-x] (x = 1 to 3) complexes that, upon NIR excitation at 980 nm, showed an unprecedented Yb to Tb upconversion sensitization phenomenon resulting in the observation of the typical green emission of Tb.
