Recent advances in polyoxothiometalate chemistry

Recent advances in spin chemistry*

The great success in controlling chemical reactivity by spin manipulation was achieved in the last decade, and many remarkable spin and magnetic phenomena have been discovered. Among those discoveries, the most chemically important highlights are magnetic isotope effect, spin catalysis, and single-spin tunneling spectroscopy. This paper summarizes recent advances in these new and hot areas of m...

Recent advances in planar tetracoordinate carbon chemistry

We summarize our contributions on the quest of new planar tetracoordinate carbon entities (new carbon molecules with exotic chemical structures and strange bonding schemes). We give special emphasis on the rationalization why in this type of molecules the planar configuration is favored over the tetrahedral one. We will concentrate on the latter and will show that molecules containing planar te...

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...

Recent Advances in Chemistry in Relation to Medical Practice

In the preface to this edition the author says, "The surgical as well as all other arts are most effective when presented with the greatest simplicity. This book attempts to eliminate the nonessential." The enthusiasm which this statement arouses is somewhat dampened on finding that the early chapters contain several purely facetious remarks, quotations of such favorite phrases of the author as...
