Nowadays, gold compounds constitute a family of very promising experimental agents for cancer treatment. Indeed, several gold(I) and gold(III) compounds were shown to manifest outstanding antiproliferative properties in vitro against selected human tumor c ...
The formation of feathery grains during semi-continuous casting of Al-alloys [1, 2] is an interesting problem from both practical and theoretical points of view. These structures are formed by a lamellar sequence of twinned and untwinned regions separated ...
Reductive dissolution of redox-sensitive minerals such as manganese (Mn) oxides in natural sediments is an important mechanism for trace element mobilization into groundwater. A gel probe sampler has been constructed to study in situ reductive dissolution ...
This overview presents recent work on the coordination chemistry and catalytic activity of bis-phosphine ruthenium(II)-arene complexes, RuCl(PPh3)(PR3)(eta(6)-arene), carried out in the Laboratory of Organometallic and Medicinal Chemistry at the EPFL. ...
The potentially hexadentate ligand L, which contains two terminal coumarin fluorophores, forms dinuclear double-stranded helicates with dicationic metal ions, giving species of the generic form M2L2. In solution the free ligand was fluorescent with e ...
In recent years ever-increasing amounts of pharmaceuticals are being detected in the aquatic environment and in some cases, they have even been discovered in drinking water. Their presence is attributed mainly to the inability of sewage treatment plants to ...
A model for the homogenization of the elastoplastic properties of particle reinforced composites is proposed. The microstructure is described by means of a novel technique, consisting of generating particles in a pre-existent constrained Delaunay tetrahedr ...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dye to become a constituting material of a dye-sensitized solar cell having a high conversion efficiency and excelling in the durability. SOLUTION: The dye is represented by formula (1): ML1L2L3 ...
The incommensurately modulated structure of the mineral natrite has been refined for the first time. Two single-crystal grains, Lv and Kh, from two different occurrences [Mt. Karnasurt, Lovozero massif (Lv), Kola peninsula, Russia, and the pegmatite of Mt. ...
We present a study of binary mixtures of eye lens crystallin proteins. A coarse-grained model of aqueous aand γ-crystallin mixtures based on molecular dynamics simulations and SANS experiments is proposed. Thermodynamic perturbation theory is implemented t ...
