Confinement Effects on Chemical Equilibria: Pentacyano(Pyrazine)Ferrate(II) Stability Changes within Nanosized Droplets of Water by Teofilo Borunda, Alexander J. Myers, J. Mary Fisher, Debbie C. Crans, Michael D. Johnson

“…Nanoscale confinement is known to impact properties of molecules and we observed changes in the reactivity of an iron coordination complex, pentacyano(pyrazine)ferrate(II). The confinement of two coordination complexes in a sodium AOT/isooctane reverse micellar (RM) water droplet was found to dramatically increase the hydrolysis rate of [Fe(CN)5pyz]3− and change the monomer-dimer equilibria between [Fe(CN)5pyz]3− and [Fe2(CN)10pyz]6−. …”

Heme Degradation in Pathophysiology of and Countermeasures to Inflammation-Associated Disease by Donald David Haines, Arpad Tosaki

“…The class of tetrapyrrol “coordination complexes” called hemes are prosthetic group components of metalloproteins including hemoglobin, which provide functionality to these physiologically essential macromolecules by reversibly binding diatomic gasses, notably O₂, which complexes to ferrous (reduced/Fe(II)) iron within the heme porphyrin ring of hemoglobin in a pH- and PCO₂-dependent manner—thus allowing their transport and delivery to anatomic sites of their function. …”

“Turn-On” Fluorescent Assay of Biothiols Based on Nitrogen-Rich Polymer Carbon Nanostrips and Its Application in Cell Imaging by Xiangying Meng, Jinjuan Qiao, Ronglan Zhao, Hairong Chu, Ying Wang, Xiangyu Chen, Zhengjun Yi

“…Ag+ ion can induce the fluorescence quenching of NRPCNSs due to the formation of nonfluorescent coordination complexes via robust Ag-N interaction. Once addition of biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH), Ag+ ions prefer to interact with biothiols rather than NRPCNSs, which could be attribute to the formation of Ag-S bond, thus leading to effective fluorescent recovery of NRPCNSs. …”

Water Soluble Iron-Based Coordination Trimers as Synergistic Adjuvants for Pancreatic Cancer by Marco Cordani, Esther Resines-Urien, Arturo Gamonal, Paula Milán-Rois, Lionel Salmon, Azzedine Bousseksou, Jose Sanchez Costa, Álvaro Somoza

“…In this study, based on cell lines, triazole-based coordination trimers made with soluble Fe(II) in an aqueous media were explored for the first time as adjuvant agents for the treatment of this condition. These coordination complexes were effective at relatively high concentrations and led to an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) in two pancreatic cancer cell lines, PANC-1 and BXPC-3, and this effect was accompanied by a significant reduction in cell viability in the presence of gemcitabine (GEM). …”
