چکیده
The reaction mechanism leading to metalated DNA fragments in which guanine-N7,O6 spans the metal-metal bond of dirhodium antitumour complexes in a bridging fashion at equatorial sites has been unravelled by a comprehensive prediction of intermediates and transition states.

Stabilities and quantum molecular descriptors of cyclophoshphamide (an anticancer drug)-functionalized (8,0) zigzag and (4,4) armchair carbon nanotubes (CNTs) complexes in water were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Two attachments namely the sidewall- and tip-attachments are considered for the model constructions. Calculations of the total electronic energy (Et) and ...

متن کاملA charge transfer single crystal field effect transistor operating at low voltages.
An organic FET employing a single crystal of a donor-acceptor system based on coronene tetracarboxylate and a methyl viologen derivative exhibited an impressive mobility of 0.53 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), operating under 2 V in the ambient atmosphere. Quantum mechanical calculations have provided an insight into the hole-dominant transport in the crystal.
متن کاملHalogen Photoelimination from Dirhodium Phosphazane Complexes via Chloride-Bridged Intermediates.
Halogen photoelimination is a critical step in HX-splitting photocatalysis. Herein, we report the photoreduction of a pair of valence-isomeric dirhodium phosphazane complexes, and suggest that a common intermediate is accessed in the photochemistry of both mixed-valent and valence-symmetric complexes. The results of these investigations suggest that halogen photoelimination proceeds by two sequ...
