Manganese-Salicyloximate Clusters Starting from [MnII(hfacac)2]: From Mn4to Mn12

Clonorchiasis control: starting from awareness

Clonorchiasis is caused by infection with food-borne liver fluke, namely Clonorchis sinensis, which is also considered to be a neglected tropical disease. It is estimated that over 10 million people are infected with C. sinensis in China and, subsequently, several thousand new cholangiocarcinoma cases occur annually. On May 18, 2014, China Central Television broadcasted an episode on the habit ...

Chalcogen rich lanthanide clusters from halide starting materials (II): selenido compounds.

Lanthanides reduce mixtures of I(2) and PhSeSePh in THF, and the resultant heteroligand mixture reacts further with elemental Se in pyridine to give (THF)(6)Ln(4)I(2)(SeSe)(4)(mu(4)-Se).THF (Ln = Tm, Ho, Er, Yb). These selenium rich clusters contain a square array of Ln(III) ions connected through a single (mu(4)-Se) ligand. There are two I(-) ligands coordinating nonadjacent Ln(III) ions on th...

Two Distinct Fluorescent Quantum Clusters of Gold Starting from Metallic Nanoparticles by pH-Dependent Ligand Etching

Address correspondence to [email protected] ABSTRACT Two fl uorescent quantum clusters of gold, namely Au25 and Au8, have been synthesized from mercaptosuccinic acid-protected gold nanoparticles of 4 5 nm core diameter by etching with excess glutathione. While etching at pH ~3 yielded Au25, that at pH 7 8 yielded Au8. This is the fi rst report of the synthesis of two quantum clusters starting ...
