"New hydrophilic 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone chelators with ether-derived substituents: synthesis and evaluation of analytical performance in the determination of iron in waters". Three new hydrophilic 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone chelators containing ether-derived substituents were prepared by a more sustainable synthetic protocol that involves the use of microwave heating and commercially available amines, allowing the successful production of highly water soluble chelators with improved reaction yields and reaction times.

The synthesis of a highly water soluble 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone ligand, functionalized with a hydrophilic ethylene glycol chain (PEG-HPO), was successfully achieved and is reported together with that of its iron (III) complex. The improved hydrophilicity of both the PEGylated 3,4-HPO ligand and its iron(III) complex were fully investigated in an analytical application and, the new chelator is propo (2015): http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/18825.
