Supramolecular photochemistry as well as solar cells are fascinating topics of current interest in Inorganic Photochemistry and very active research fields which have attracted wide attention in last two decades. A brief outline of the investigations in these fields carried out in our Laboratory of Inorganic Photochemistry and Energy Conversion is given here with no attempt of an exhaustive cov...

Reactions of lithium salts of the bulky guanidinate ligands, [ArNC(NR2)NAr](-) (NR2 = N(C6H11)2 (Giso-) and cis-NC5H8Me2-2,6 (Pipiso-); Ar = C6H3Pri2-2,6), with GeCl2.dioxane afforded the heteroleptic germylenes, [(Giso)GeCl] and [(Pipiso)GeCl], the former of which was structurally characterised. The further reactivity of these and the related complexes, [(Piso)GeCl] and [(Priso)GeCl] (Piso- = ...

Few novel cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes [M(fmp)3]Cl2, [M(fmp)(bpy)2]Cl2,[M(fmp)(phen)2]Cl2 and [M(fmp)(phen)(bpy)]Cl2 (fmp = 3-furan-2-ylmethylene-pentane-2,4-dione, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) have been synthesized andcharacterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements,IR, electronic, EPR, mass spectra and cyclic voltammetri...

the effects of coatingtreatments (waxand plasticbags) combined with methylsalicylate on the fruit quality and chilling injury of moro blood orange were studied during storage. treated fruits were kept in storage for 80 days at 5 oc and 90-95% relative humidity. some characteristics such as pulp and skin total phenolics, antioxidant capacity, total anthocyanin, lipid peroxidation, and the chilli...

Positive ion mode matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) was used to explore nonspecific interactions between proteins and oligonucleotides. The formation of noncovalent complexes showed correlation with the type of oligonucleotide bases and with the amino acid composition of the proteins. Among the four DNA homooligomers, abundant protein-nucleic acid complexe...

Singly-charged complexes of (8S,9R)-tert-butylcarbamoylquinine (tBuCQN), N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-(S,R)-leucine (DNB-S/R-leucine), and alkali metal counter ions (Li(+), Na(+), K(+)) were investigated by density-functional theory. It is shown that the cations prefer formation of an ionic pair with the carboxylate group of DNB-Leu over the formation of a cation-π interaction. The [tBuCQN·DNB-S/R-Leu·...

in this paper, two double helical dinuclear copper(ii) complexes of bis-n,o-bidentate schiff base ligands bis(3-methoxy-n-salicylidene-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl)sulfone (l1) and bis(5-bromo-n-salicylidene-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl)sulfone (l2) were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses (chn), as well as thermal analysis. elemental analyses (chn) suggested that the reaction between ligands and ...

security as one of the basic human needs has a special place in relaxation, comfort and spiritual needs provision. for this reason, security is always of managers, planners, architects and urban designers' interest. solutions and strategies of security provision have been fundamentally changed following prevailing change of housing architecture patterns from homes to residential complexes ...
