Pyrene-based metal organic frameworks: from synthesis to applications

Berend Smit, Daniele Ongari, Christopher Patrick Ireland, Andres Adolfo Ortega Guerrero, Fatma Pelin Uran

Pyrene is one of the most widely investigated aromatic hydrocarbons given to its unique optical and electronic properties. Hence, pyrene-based ligands have been attractive for the synthesis of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in the last few years. In this ...

An Organometallic Compound which Exhibits a DNA Topology-Dependent One-Stranded Intercalation Mode

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ursula Röthlisberger, Giulia Palermo, Benjamin Samuel Murray, Thibaud Edouard Alistair von Erlach

Understanding how small molecules interact with DNA is essential since it underlies a multitude of pathological conditions and therapeutic interventions. Many different intercalator compounds have been studied because of their activity as mutagens or drugs ...

Systems Toxicology Approach to Understand the Kinetics of Benzo(a)pyrene Uptake, Biotransformation, and DNA Adduct Formation in a Liver Cell Model

Kristin Schirmer

Cell-based models are important for deriving mechanistic information about stress response pathways that have evolved to protect cells from toxic insult, such as exposure to environmental pollutants. One determinant of the stress response is the amount of ...

Sorption kinetics and equilibrium of the herbicide diuron to carbon nanotubes or soot in absence and presence of algae

Arnaud Magrez, Laura Sigg

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are strong sorbents for organic micropollutants, but changing environmental conditions may alter the distribution and bioavailability of the sorbed substances. Therefore, we investigated the effect of green algae (Chlorella vulgaris) ...

Atomic Oxygen Chemisorption on Carbon Nanotubes Revisited with Theory and Experiment

Wanda Andreoni, Fabio Pietrucci, Alessandro Curioni

Density-functional-theory based calculations of two single-walled carbon nanotubes of different chirality settle open issues on the sidewall chemisorption of atomic oxygen at low concentrations. Ether groups are the thermodynamically favored configurations ...

Transcriptional signatures of regulatory and toxic responses to benzo-[a]-pyrene exposure

Kristin Schirmer

Background: Small molecule ligands often have multiple effects on the transcriptional program of a cell: they trigger a receptor specific response and additional, indirect responses ("side effects"). Distinguishing those responses is important for understa ...

"Functional Poly(ethylene glycol)": PEG-Based Random Copolymers with 1,2-Diol Side Chains and Terminal Amino Functionality

Frederik Roman Wurm

A series of poly(ethylene glycol-co-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether) (P(EO-co-IGG)) random copolymers with different fractions of 1,2-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether (IGG) units was synthesized. After acidic hydrolysis a new type of "function ...

Total Synthesis of (-)-Pseudolaric Acid B

Jérôme Waser

We report a full account of our work toward the total synthesis of pseudolaric acid B (1a), a diterpene acid isolated from the bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi Gordon (pinaceae). Compound 1a is an antifungal and antifertility agent. Furthermore, its capacity ...
