NMR and luminescence binding studies of ytterbium, thulium, and europium macrocyclic complexes with phosphorus(V) oxy anions (2005)
Journal Article
Atkinson, P., Bretonniere, Y., Parker, D., & Muller, G. (2005). NMR and luminescence binding studies of ytterbium, thulium, and europium macrocyclic complexes with phosphorus(V) oxy anions. Helvetica Chimica Acta, 88(3), 391-405

The binding of a series of phosphate anions to coordinatively unsaturated macrocyclic complexes of Yb, Tm, and Eu was studied by H-1-NMR, emission and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectroscopy. Each ternary adduct was distinguished by its... Read More about NMR and luminescence binding studies of ytterbium, thulium, and europium macrocyclic complexes with phosphorus(V) oxy anions.

A pH-insensitive, ratiometric chemosensor for citrate using europium luminescence (2005)
Journal Article
Parker, D., & Yu, J. (2005). A pH-insensitive, ratiometric chemosensor for citrate using europium luminescence. Chemical Communications, 3141-3143

A chemoselective sensor for the citrate anion has been devised, based on a new europium complex that offers ratiometric analysis of the long-lived emission.

Synthesis of a europium complex for anion-sensing involving regioselective substitution of cyclen (2005)
Journal Article
Yu, J., & Parker, D. (2005). Synthesis of a europium complex for anion-sensing involving regioselective substitution of cyclen. European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 4249-4252

A regioselective synthetic route that allows the construction of tri-functionally substituted cyclen is described. This facilitates the synthesis of a europium complex that exhibits a good photoresponse to malate, forming the basis of a chemoselectiv...

The DNA sequence of the human X chromosome (2005)
Journal Article
Ross, M., Grafham, D., Coffey, A., Scherer, S., McLay, K., Muzny, D., …Sear, S. (2005). The DNA sequence of the human X chromosome. Nature, 434(7031), 325-337

The human X chromosome has a unique biology that was shaped by its evolution as the sex chromosome shared by males and females. We have determined 99.3% of the euchromatic sequence of the X chromosome. Our analysis illustrates the autosomal origin of... Read More about The DNA sequence of the human X chromosome.

Synthesis and characterisation of highly emissive and kinetically stable lanthanide complexes suitable for usage 'in cellulo' (2005)
Journal Article
Poole, R., Bobba, G., Cann, M., Frias, J., Parker, D., & Peacock, R. (2005). Synthesis and characterisation of highly emissive and kinetically stable lanthanide complexes suitable for usage 'in cellulo'. Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 3(6), 1013-1024. https://doi.org/10.1039/b418964g

The synthesis and photophysical characterisation are reported of a series of cationic, neutral and anionic europium and terbium complexes based on structurally related, nonadentate ligands based on the cyclen macrocycle. Each complex incorporates a t... Read More about Synthesis and characterisation of highly emissive and kinetically stable lanthanide complexes suitable for usage 'in cellulo'.

Efficient relaxivity enhancement in dendritic gadolinium complexes: effective motional coupling in medium molecular weight conjugates (2005)
Journal Article
Fulton, D., O'Halloran, M., Parker, D., Senanayake, K., Botta, M., & Aime, S. (2005). Efficient relaxivity enhancement in dendritic gadolinium complexes: effective motional coupling in medium molecular weight conjugates. Chemical Communications, 474-476

Enhancement of the relaxivities of Gd-based MRI contrast agents is achieved by placing the metal ion at the barycentre of the molecular complex in order to improve motional coupling.
