Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The research led to the preparation of a new bromo-bissalicylaldehyde building block, which can be coupled to boronic acids/esters via standard Suzuki coupling conditions. Its attachment to metal complexes could in principle lead to new metal receptors for biomolecules in water using biomolecule-metal interactions. The advantage of the salicylaldehyde units over conventional aldehyde units is their increased stability against oxidation. The gained knowledge was utilized for the preparation of a review on artificial bioreceptors.
