Photo-induced copper-RDRP in continuous flow without external deoxygenation

Removing Copper from Contaminated Water Using Activated Carbon Sorbent by Continuous Flow

Introduction: A major concern of human being is accumulation and toxicity of heavy metals in their body. Copper is a heavy metal ion that in concentration of 2 mg/l can cause numerous complications. Different treatment methods have been proposed for removing metals from contaminated water by researchers. Among these methods, sorption seems a better method with high removal efficiency. In this s...

Continuous flow coupling and decarboxylation reactions promoted by copper tubing.

A convenient and efficient flow method for Ullmann condensations, Sonogashira couplings, and decarboxylation reactions using a commercially available copper tube flow reactor (CTFR) is described. The heated CTFR effects these transformations without added metals (e.g., Pd), ligands, or reagents, and in greater than 90% yield in most cases examined.

“ Photo ” Chemistry Without Light ?

In the early seventies, Giuseppe Cilento (São Paulo University), Emil White (Johns Hopkins University) and Angelo Lamola (AT&T Bell Laboratories) postulated that typical photochemical reactions could occur in dark parts of living organisms if coupled to enzymatic sources of electronically excited products. Their paradoxical hypothesis of “photochemistry without light” was chemically anchored on...

Chemical Risk without Concurrent External Exposure!

Ferrocenyl-L-amino acid copper(II) complexes showing remarkable photo-induced anticancer activity in visible light.

Ferrocene-conjugated copper(ii) complexes [Cu(Fc-aa)(aip)](ClO4) () and [Cu(Fc-aa)(pyip)](ClO4) () of l-amino acid reduced Schiff bases (Fc-aa), 2-(9-anthryl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (aip) and 2-(1-pyrenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (pyip), where Fc-aa is ferrocenylmethyl-l-tyrosine (Fc-Tyr in , ), ferrocenylmethyl-l-tryptophan (Fc-Trp in , ) and ferrocenylmethyl-l-met...
