Abstract:
We developed a new strategy, ligand exchange strategy, for tuning the response speeds of helicity inversion of a metal-containing helical structure. This is based on the exchange of the two axial amine ligands of the octahedral Co3+ centers in the metallocryptands [LCo3 X6 ] (X=axial amine ligand). The response speeds of the helicity induction were controlled by using different combinations of achiral and chiral amines as the starting and entering ligands, respectively. The response speeds of the helicity inversion from P to M were also tuned by using different combinations of chiral amines.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
