Herein, the ligand-based concept of shortening quintuple bonds and some of its limitations are reported. In dichromium-diguanidinato complexes, the length of the quintuple bond can be influenced by the substituent at the central carbon atom of the used lig ...
The reactivity of three cytotoxic trans-PtII complexes bearing aliph. amine ligands, with transferrin and single-stranded oligonucleotides as DNA models, was investigated by ESI-MS and the results obtained are discussed in comparison with cisplatin. Tandem ...
Non-covalent interactions play a prominent role in chemistry and biology. While a myriad of theoretical methods have been devised to quantify and analyze intermolecular interactions, the theoretical toolbox for the intramolecular analogues is much scarcer. ...
Handling and storing chemicals in the industrial world require a conscientious hazards assessment and the implementation of appropriate measures to ensure safety for the workers, the company, the environment and the society. Reliable evaluations and predic ...
Photoswitchable ligands are powerful tools to control biological processes at high spatial and temporal resolution. Unfortunately, such ligands exist only for a limited number of proteins and their development by rational design is not trivial. We have dev ...
An azo derivative of 1H-pyrazole has been chosen to study the information obtained from different techniques for determining the structure of a non-crystalline compound in the solid-state and in solution. Syn-anti isomerism of the azo group, prototropic ta ...
Six diiodido-diamine platinum(II) complexes, either cis or trans configured, were prepared, differing only in the nature of the amine ligand (isopropylamine, dimethylamine, or methylamine), and their antiproliferative properties were evaluated against a pa ...
We use ab initio density functional calculations to investigate the structural stability and vibrational spectra of small boron aggregates in different charge states. In search of candidates for the largest stable 2D boron aggregates, we focus on systems w ...
We propose several covalent functionalizations for carbon nanotubes that display switchable on/off conductance in metallic tubes. The switching action is achieved by reversible control of bond-cleavage chemistry in [1 + 2] cycloadditions via the sp(3) reve ...
The polar phosphinyl carboxamide, 1'-(diphenylphosphino)-1-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)carbamoyl]ferrocene [I; Z = null; (1)] , reacts readily with H2O2 and elemental S to give the corresponding phosphine oxide I [Z = O (2)] and phosphine sulfide I [Z = S (3)], res ...
