Chemosensors

The primary cilium is an important sensory organelle present in most mammalian cells. The cilium is involved in regulating various essential cellular processes and by virtue of its structure and location; the most important function of the primary cilium is to act as a sensor. T…

Condensation of Ph2PCH2OH with a range of polyaromatic substituted secondary amines afforded a new set of 'hybrid' phosphine ligands of the type {RCH2N(CH2PPh2)CH2}2 and RCH2N(CH2PPh2)CH2CH3 (R = various planar aromatic groups). The coordination chemistry of these new mono and b…
