Two chargeless VO(IV) complexes with 3-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid (H2hpic), [VO(Hhpic-O,O)(Hhpic-O,N)(H2O)].3H2O (1) and the cyclic tetramer [(VO)4(mu-(hpic-O,O',N))4(H2O)4].8H3O (2), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, mass, infrared, electronic absorption, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopies, and X-ray crystallography. Their coordination structures are

UV-matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (UV-MALDI-MS) with 3-hydroxypicolinic acid as matrix and IR-MALDI-MS with succinic acid as matrix have proved their feasibility for highly accurate and sensitive mass determination of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). In this work, a

We found that picolinic acid is a very good matrix for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry of oligonucleotides, proteins and tRNA. Among the oligonucleotides, picolinic acid was shown to be effective for homo-oligonucleotides, d(G)40 and d(C)60, and for
