ABSTRACT
The characterization of a new irreversible optical absorption-based one-shot sensor for magnesium is described. The magnesium photoactive probe is 7-diethylamino-3-(3,4-ethylendioxybenzoyl)coumarin immobilized in a plasticized polymeric membrane. The magnesium selectivity can be explained in terms of size and charge density of magnesium and charge-separated resonance forms contribution in the excited state of coumarin. The selectivity obtained for magnesium over a variety of naturally occurring species in natural waters meets the requirements for the determination of this ion in water. The one-shot sensor responds between 0.14 and 14mgL(-1) with a sensor-to-sensor reproducibility of 1.3% as [Formula: see text] , at the medium level of the range. The performance of the optical one-shot sensor was tested in the analysis of magnesium in different types of natural waters and soft drinks validating results against a reference procedure.
ABSTRACT
Substituted 3-aroylcoumarins incorporated in a polyethylenoxy cryptand (2.2.2) by the 3-aroyl group were synthesized with the purpose of developing new markers to be used in time-resolved fluorimetric bioaffinity assays based on the unique luminescence properties of Eu(III) and Tb(III) ions. Some spectral properties and luminescence intensities of the complexes were measured in acetonitrile and MeOH. The mechanism of metal sensitization depended on lanthanide and will be discussed in detail.

The hydrophilic oxygen atoms of polyethylenoxide chains inserted as pillars in gamma-zirconium phosphate form hydrogen bonds with the acid groups of the host. As a result the pillars are almost perpendicular to the gamma layers. Upon changing the pH level of the supernatant solution the hydrogen bonds are broken and the pillars become almost perpendicular to the layers (shown schematically). Thus there is a reversible enlargement-shortening of the interlayer space.
ABSTRACT
New acyclonucleosides derived from 1,2,6-thiadiazine dioxide systems have been synthesized. Lipase-mediated deacylation procedure was used to obtain the deprotected derivatives. All the newly prepared compounds were tested as antiviral agents, but none of them showed significant activity.
