Binding of Organometallic Ruthenium(II) Anticancer Compounds to Nucleobases: A Computational Study

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Christian Gossens

The reaction of the anticancer compound (eta(6)-benzene)Ru(en)(OH2) (1) toward the nucleobases guanine, adenine, and cytosine is studied computationally using DFT/BP86 calculations. The aqua leaving group of such compounds is known to undergo ligand ...

Chelating NHC Ruthenium(II) Complexes as Robust Homogeneous Hydrogenation Catalysts

Gabor Laurenczy, Antonia Neels

A series of ruthenium(II) N-heterocyclic carbene chelate complexes were prepd. by using bidentate chelating alkene-carbene, thioether-carbene, carboxylate-carbene and bis-carbene ligands. Metalation of 1-R-3-X-imidazolium salts (1-3, R = Me, X = allyl, MeS ...

Microwave-Assisted Organometallic Syntheses: Formation of Dinuclear [(Arene)Ru(-Cl)3RuCl(L-L')] Complexes (L-L'= Chelate Ligands with P/N/S-Donor Atoms) by Displacement of Arene pi-Ligands

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Sébastien Gauthier

Microwave heating was employed to promote arene displacement in reactions of [{(p-cymene)RuCl2}(2)] or [{(1,3,5-C-6,H(3)iPr(3))RuCl2}(2)] with neutral chelate ligands L-L' [L-L': 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane, 1,1'- bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene, ...

Neutral ligands with exceptional donor ability for palladium-catalyzed alkene hydrogenation

With four site: Catalytic olefin hydrogenation is observed with palladium complexes when the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand is changed from the normal C2- to the unusual C4-bonding mode (see scheme). In a cis coordinating framework, the electron density at ...

Comparative transient analysis of critical and subcritical 80-MW Pb-Bi eutectic-cooled reactor systems

Rakesh Chawla, Konstantin Mikityuk

A consistent analytical comparison has been made of the transient behavior of critical and subcritical fast-spectrum reactor systems, the basic core design assumed in each case being that of the 80-MW(thermal) mixed-oxide-fueled, Pb-Bi-cooled, experimental ...

Analysis of the Synergistic Effect of Carbonylplatinum Complexes on the Iridium-Catalysed Carbonylation of Methanol to Acetic Acid

Gabor Laurenczy

High-pressure NMR mechanistic investigations into the promoting role of dicarbonyldiiodoplatinum complex in the iridium-catalysed carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid are consistent with iodide abstraction from the [IrI3(CH3)(CO)2]– resting state speci ...

Cooperative effect between iridium and platinum in the carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid

Gabor Laurenczy

The iodocarbonyl monomer [PtI2(CO)2] 7 promotes the iridium catalyzed carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid at low water contents. Studies based on low pressure or high pressure NMR and the use of labeled reactants were cond ...

Quantum Chemical Study of Adsorption and Dissociation of H2S on the gallium-rich GaAs (001)-4x2 surface

Wei Chen, Min Xu

H2S adsorption and dissociation on the gallium-rich GaAs( 001)- 4 x 2 surface is investigated using hybrid density functional theory. Starting from chemisorbed H2S on the GaAs( 001)- 4 x 2 surface, two possible reaction routes have been proposed. We find t ...

Promoting Role of [PtI2(CO)]2 in the Iridium-Catalyzed Methanol Carbonylation to Acetic Acid and Its Interaction with Involved Iridium Species

Gabor Laurenczy

The catalytic activity of the iridium complexes involved in methanol carbonylation is significantly enhanced when the carbonyliodoplatinum dimer [PtI2(CO)]2 (10') is added to the reaction mixt. Under CO this complex readily affords th ...

Planar photonic crystals infiltrated with liquid crystals: optical characterization of molecule orientation

Romuald Houdré, Libero Zuppiroli, Liza Carol Andrea Dunbar, Rolando Ferrini, Barbara Wild, Vasily Zabelin

Nematic liquid crystals are infiltrated into InP-based planar photonic crystals. Optical measurements as a function of temperature and polarization are used to study the average director field configuration in the nanometer-size holes: a planar equilibrium ...
