The synthesis, characterization, and photophysical properties are reported for several Ln(III) complexes of a tetradentate chelate, 5LIO-MAM, derived from the common flavor enhancer "maltol". Eu(III), Yb(III), and Nd(III) form stable ML2 complexes in aqueous solution that emit in the red

The O,S-donor analogues of maltol and deferiprone (DMHP), respectively, thiomaltol and DMHTP, have been investigated in solution for their iron-complexation ability, as well as their electrochemical behaviors, in the presence and absence of iron, aimed at the rationalization of their

The N,N'-bis[(3-hydroxy-4-pyron-2-yl)methyl]-N,N'-dimethylethylendiamine (malten) and 4,10-bis[(3-hydroxy-4-pyron-2-yl)methyl]-1,7-dimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (maltonis) were synthesized and characterized. The acid-base behavior, structural characterizations, and biochemical studies in aqueous solution were reported. Each compound contains two 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone units (maltol) symmetrically spaced by a polyamine fragment, the 1,4-dimethylethylendiamine (malten), or

Organometallic ruthenium-arene compounds bearing a maltol ligand have been shown to be nearly inactive in in vitro anticancer assays, presumably due to the formation of dimeric Ru(II) species in aqueous solutions. In an attempt to stabilize such complexes, [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)(XY)Cl] (XY=pyrones

The family of hydroxypyrones and close congeners, the hydroxypyridinones, is a particularly versatile class of ligands. The most widely investigated for medicinal applications are the 3-hydroxy-4-pyrones and the 1,2- 3,2- and 3,4-hydroxypyridinones. Key features of these ligands are: a six-membered
