The continuous progress in medicinal chemistry requires more versatile synthetic strategies for the generation of large libraries of active compounds and their analogues. As a result, the research for new effective cyclization and cycloaddition reactions i ...
This thesis works reports on the magnetic properties of single transition metal atoms and hydrogenated compounds adsorbed on crystal surfaces. It is an experimental study, based on scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), initiated by the project of demonstrat ...
The author describes her experience as a Maitre-assistance at the University of Geneva and the significant influence of Jacques Buff le on her development as an environmental chemist. ...
The peculiar chemical properties of metal-based drugs impart innovative pharmacological profiles to this class of therapeutic and diagnostic agents, most likely in relation to novel molecular mechanisms still poorly understood. However, inorganic drugs hav ...
The present thesis deals with luminescent compounds based on lanthanide complexes that are suitable for color reproduction and optical document security with invisible luminescent inks. This thesis is divided in two distinct fields: chemistry, which produc ...
In undergraduate level organometallic chem. courses students are usually taught that organometallic compds. are toxic and unstable in air and water. While this is true of many complexes, some are also non-toxic and stable in air and water. Indeed, bioorgan ...
Respiration is a fundamental catalytic process in the aerobic and anaerobic energy metabolism of many prokaryotic and most eukaryotic organisms. The major difference between these organisms is that various organic and inorganic substrates can be used to do ...
This paper is aimed at introducing the organometallic chemist to the fascinating area of organometallic pharmaceuticals. It commences by identifying the properties of organometallic (transition metal) compounds that lend themselves to medical applications. ...
D. functional theory (DFT) has progressively emerged in the last 40 years as a leading methodol. for the modeling and simulation of chem. systems. In this paper, some historical landmarks in the development of this method are outlined, emphasizing on its m ...
As other monosaccharide mimics such as the azasugars and the carbasugars (with nitrogen and carbon atom, respectively, instead of oxygen atom in the ring) the thiosugars (with sulfur atom instead of oxygen atom in the ring) have gained importance in glycob ...
