Transitional metals and metal compounds have been used in versatile platforms for biomedical applications and therapeutic intervention. Severe side effects of anticancer drugs produce an urgent urge to develop new classes of anticancer agents with great potency as well as selectivity. In this background, recent studies demonstrate that monomeric manganese (MnII) thiocyanate complex (MMTC) holds...

A lot of work has been devoted to the study of the magnetic interactions between two paramagnetic centres bridged by an aromatic ring.[1] The study of the spin delocalisation and polarisation effects is helpful in order to understand the nature of these magnetic interactions. The spin-polarisation mechanism itself provides a key tool for predicting the kind of magnetic interactions in high-spin...

The high-resolution (R ≈ 10) nearultraviolet IUE spectrum of the peculiar post Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) supergiant HD 101584 (F0Iape) has been analyzed. In the wavelength range between 2500 and 3000 Å, 291 out of 332 absorption features are identified. The main contribution comes from FeII, CrII and MnII. Most of the absorption features are blends from several absorption lines. This i...

an iodide ion-selective pvc membrane sensor based on copper (π)-bis-nphenilsalicyldenaminatocomplex as a novel sensing material is successfully developed. theelectrode showed a good selectivity for iodide ion with respect to common inorganic anions. thesensor exhibited a good linear response with slope of _58.6 ± 0.4 mv per decade over theconcentration range of 5.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1 mol l-1,...

Ammonium sulfate is one of the subsidiary components in the stealth liposome structure. The ratio of ammonium ion bound to liposome sphere to ammonium ions outside the liposome plays an important role in drug delivery formulation; accordingly, in order to quantify the ammonium ion in the liposome structure, a rapid and sensitive method was validated using a conductivity detector. Through this m...
