	abstract = {This tutorial review will highlight recent advances in medicinal inorganic chemistry pertaining to the use of multifunctional ligands for enhanced effect. Ligands that adequately bind metal ions and also include specific targeting features are gaining in popularity due to their ability to enhance the efficacy of less complicated metal-based agents. Moving beyond the traditional view of ligands modifying reactivity, stabilizing specific oxidation states, and contributing to substitution inertness, we will discuss recent work involving metal complexes with multifunctional ligands that target specific tissues, membrane receptors, or endogenous molecules, including enzymes.},

	abstract = {{The new potentially multidentate ligand (EDDA-KA)(2) has been prepared and its acid-base properties determined. Its coordination properties with three lanthanide ions (La3+, Gd3+, and Lu3+) and Fe3+ have been studied in aqueous solution (I = 0.16 M NaCl, 25degreesC) by potentiometric pH, spectrophotometric, and H-1 NMR titrations. In total, eight pK(a) values could be determined by these diverse methods. From the H-1 NMR titrations, all the deprotonation steps could be determined and assigned (in groups). Strong hydrogen bonding among two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom on the pyrone ring was observed, and the corresponding pK(a) values were estimated to be 13.2 and 14.0. By comparison with similar systems, an equilibrium constant for the formation of the hydrogen bond was estimated},

H(2)L2), and H-2(Br)bbpen (N,N{\textquoteright}-bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)-N,N{\textquoteright}-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediam ine H(2)L3) with Ln(III) ions in the presence of a base in methanol resulted in three types of complexes: neutral mononuclear ([LnL(NO3)]), monocationic dinuclear ([Ln(2)Ln(2)(NO3)](+)), and monocationic trinuclear ([Ln(3)L(2)(X)(n)-(CH3OH)](+)) when X = bridging (CH3COO-) and bidentate ligands (NO3-, CH3COO-, ClO4-) and n is 4. The formation of a complex depends on the bose (hydroxide or acetate) and the size of the respective Ln(III) ion. All complexes were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analyses; in some cases, X-ray diffraction studies were also performed. The structures of the neutral mononuclear [Yb(L1)(NO3)], dinuclear [Pr-2(L1)(2)(NO3)(H2O)]NO3.CH3OH and [Gd-2(L1)(2)(NO3)]NO3.CH3OH.3H(2)O, and trinuclear [Gd-3(L3)(2)(CH3- COO)(4)(CH3OH)]ClO4.5CH(3)OH and [Sm-3(L1)(2)(CH3COO)(2)(NO3)(2)(CH3OH)]NO3.CH3OH.3.65H(2)O were solved by X-ray crystallography. The [LnL(NO3)] or [Ln(2)L(2)(NO3)](+) complexes could be converted to [Ln(3)L(2)(X)(n)(CH3-OH)](+) complexes by the addition of 1 equiv of a Ln(III) salt and 2-3 equiv of sodium acetate in methanol. The trinuclear complexes were found to be the most stable of the three types, which was evident from the presence of the intact monocationic high molecular weight parent peaks ([Ln(3)L(2)(X)(n)](+)) in the mass spectra of all the trinuclear complexes and from the ease of conversion from the mononuclear or dinuclear to the trinuclear species. The incompatibility of the ligand denticity with the coordination requirements of the Ln(III) ions was proven to be a useful tool in the construction of multinuclear Ln(III) metal ion arrays.},
