Phosphinate Analogues of Ida and Nta with Low Basicity of Nitrogen Atom: Acid-Base and Complexation Properties

Non-symmetrical bis(aminoalkyl)phosphinates: new ligands with enhanced binding of Cu(ii) ions

Novel, non-symmetrical bis(aminoalkyl)phosphinic acids exhibit enhanced efficiency in Cu(ii) ion binding.

DOTA analogues with a phosphinate-iminodiacetate pendant arm: modification of the complex formation rate with a strongly chelating pendant

The formation of highly stable out-of-cage complexes slows down the transfer of the metal ion into the cavity of the macrocyclic ligand.
