Study of derivatization reactions for ESI-MS analysis of hardly ionizable rhenium aryl chlorocomplexes
Vlk, Mikuláš ; Štícha, Martin (advisor) ; Kozlík, Petr (referee)
Mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization is an excellent method for structural analysis of coordination compounds with outstanding sensitivity and selectivity. However, it fails to detect some low-polar rhenium complexes. This master thesis describes derivatization method of non-ionizable rhenium complexes with 1,2-dihydroxybenzene and 2,3- dihydroxytoluenene. Fragmentation mechanisms and structure of prepared complexes was studied using high resolution mass spectrometry and collision-induced dissociation (CID). Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) computational method was used for prediction of bond cleavage based on bond lengthening.

Dynamics of paramagnetic complexes observed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Blahut, Jan ; Hermann, Petr (advisor) ; Botta, Mauro (referee) ; Dračínský, Martin (referee)
In this Thesis, structure and dynamics of paramagnetic complexes for medical application are studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). It focuses mainly on development of contrast agents (CA) for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) which is one of the most effective radiodiagnostic method nowadays. Most of the MRI CAs contains paramagnetic complexes of d- and f-metal ions. The presence of unpaired electron in proximity of NMR active nuclei has two main effects: paramagnetically induced shift and paramagnetically induced relaxa- tion. Both processes can dramatically change the NMR spectrum and often make it unobservable at all. Nevertheless, in many cases, acquisition of such spectra is possible and sometimes even less time-consuming than observation of diamag- netic molecules. Enhanced T1 relaxation allows faster pulse sequence repetition and increased chemical shift dispersion may lead to resolution of originally over- lapped signals. Moreover, the analysis of paramagnetic effects can provide useful information about the structure and dynamics of the studied system. Theoretical background of these effects is described in the Introduction of the Thesis. In the first part of Discussion in the Thesis, a new class of contrast agents for 19F-MRI based on nickel(II) and cobalt(II/III) ions is introduced...

Coordination chemistry of pharmaceuticals
Malová, Zuzana ; Lukeš, Ivan (advisor) ; Vojtíšek, Pavel (referee)
Present methods for diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases are rather limited and in clinical practise are missing. This thesis is focused on utilization of the positron emission tomography using isotope 64 Cu(II). For the project, two contrast agents were proposed containing ligand for Cu (II) coordination and thioflavine T derivative as fluorescent dye, also as a targeting compound. Structure of the thioflavine T derivative was defined by X-ray structural analysis. The selected fluorescent dye has a high affinity for incipient amyloids and, when bound to their structure, has enhanced fluorescent properties. The proposed ligands are tetraazacyclic. The first one is a diamide, where the thioflavin T derivative is part of a macrocyclic ring. The second selected ligand is linked to the thioflavin T derivative via a linker. Key words: complexes; pharmaceuticals; transition metals

Reactivity of a ferrocene distibane
Antala, Jakub ; Štěpnička, Petr (advisor) ; Gyepes, Róbert (referee)
5 Title: Reactivity of ferrocene distibane Author: Jakub Antala Department: Department of Inorganic Chemistry Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Petr Štěpnička, Ph.D., DSc. Consultant: RNDr. Jiří Schulz, Ph.D. Abstract: The aim of this bachelor thesis is preparation of 1,1'-bis(diphenylstibino)ferrocene (L), an antimony analogue of the widely studied ligand 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene and study into its coordination properties. Two ruthenium(II) (1, 3) and two rhodium(III) complexes (2, 4) were prepaired, in which the ligand L coordinates as bridging or chelating ligand. Two ruthenium(II) and one rhodium(III) precursors with π-coordinated arene ligands were used for the preparation of complexes. When preparing chelate complexes, sodium hexafluorophosphate was also necessary. All complexes were characterised by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and crystal structure was determined by X-ray structural analysis. The structures of the stibine complexes were compared with their analogs resulting from 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene. Key words: ferrocene, stibines, complexes, ruthenium, rhodium, structure elucidation

Electrophoretic Determination of Tantalum in Recycled Coolants
Gogulin, Semen ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Coufal, Pavel (referee)
This master thesis deals with the development of electrophoretic methods for determination of tantalum in recycled coolants used in the production of tantalum capacitors, as well as the separation of tantalum from chemically similar niobium. Developed methods are based on the formation of negatively charged complexes of tantalum and niobium with a number of ligands added to the separation electrolyte, especially tartaric and citric acid and 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol. The separations were performed in a fused silica capillary of the inner diameter of 50 µm and the effective length of 36.5 cm, a negative voltage of -25 kV was applied to the capillary. Using a separation electrolyte containing 0.1 mol·l-1 of tartaric and citric acid at pH = 2, separation of niobium and tantalum was achieved in less than 3 minutes; the absorption spectrometric detection was carried out in the ultraviolet region at a wavelength of 200 nm, the detection limit was 2.8 ppm of tantalum, and the quantification limit was 9.2 ppm of tantalum. Addition of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol reduced the detection limit to 0.8 ppm of tantalum and the quantification limit to 2.6 ppm of tantalum; the electrolyte contained 0.1 mmol·l-1 of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol, 10 mmol·l-1 of tartaric acid, 10 mmol·l-1 of citric acid, and 25 mmol·l-1...

Utilization of mass spectrometry for analysis of biologically active compounds
Kaliba, David
This PhD thesis provides a commented set of four publications. These publications are focused on capillary electrophoresis, liquid chromatography, and UV/Vis spectrometry used to study complexes of rhenium with aromatic ligands. The methods of mass spectrometry with soft ionization techniques, 1 H and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance, and infrared spectrometry were used for structural characterization of the individual complexes. The complexes were synthetized in reactions of the rhenium precursor tetrabutylammonium tetrachlorooxorhenate with the corresponding ligand under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In the course of the research, it was revealed that the prepared complexes (with Re in the oxidation number +V and +VI) are unstable and their oxidation numbers change to another more stable form (Re+VII ). Sub-projects which were successfully implemented during the research were as follows: Design and successful realization of the process of synthesis of selected rhenium complexes with aromatic ligands 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene, and 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene in reactions with and without air access, and their structural characterization by ESI-MS, APPI- MS, LDI-MS, ESI-MS/MS, NMR, and IR. ESI-MS SRM and UV/Vis time studies of the behaviour of primary rhenium complexes...

Phosphonate and phosphinate derivatives of dipicolylamine
Hlinová, Veronika
The Diploma Thesis deals with preparation of one phoshonate and two phospinate derivatives of dipicolylamine. Dissociation constants of prepared ligands were determined by potentiometric and NMR titration. Coordination properties of the compounds were studied by combination of potentiometry and UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Stability constants of complexes with selected transition metal ions (Cu2+ , Ni2+ a Zn2+ ) and alkali-earth metals ions (Ca2+ , Mg2+ ) were calculated. Acid-base and coordination properties in the solid state were studied by X-ray diffraction on single-crystals.
