      Cuyacot, Ben Joseph R.; Badri, Zahra; Ghosh, Abhik; Foroutan-Nejad, Cina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-01)
      The nature of magnetically induced current densities (MICD) of metallabenzenes and related compounds has been examined with relativistic DFT calculations to assess the magnetic aromaticity of the molecules. The origin of the total MICD has been analyzed in terms of individual molecular orbital (MO) contributions. Our study reveals that the s-framework of the molecules always makes a diamagnetic ...
    • Supramolecular coronation of platinum(II) complexes by macrocycles: Structure, relativistic DFT calculations, and biological effects 

      Sojka, Martin; Chyba, Jan; Paul, Shib Shankar; Wawrocka, Karolina; Honigova, Katerina; Cuyacot, Ben Joseph R.; Castro, Abril C.; Vaculovic, Tomas; Marek, Jaromir; Repisky, Michal; Masarik, Michal; Novotny, Jan; Marek, Radek (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-05)
      Platinum-based anticancer drugs are actively developed utilizing lipophilic ligands or drug carriers for the efficient penetration of biomembranes, reduction of side effects, and tumor targeting. We report the development of a supramolecular host–guest system built on cationic platinum(II) compounds bearing ligands anchored in the cavity of the macrocyclic host. The host–guest binding and hydrolysis ...
