Glycosiderophores: Synthesis of tris-hydroxamate siderophores based on a galactose or glycero central scaffold, Fe(III) complexation studies

► Artificial trishydroxamate siderophores series with tunable pFe. ► Tunable pFe by chemical design. ► The central scaffold was based on a galactose or a glycerol. ► The length between the central and the hydroxamate moieties was varied to test the effect on the pFe.
