Two organic ionic crystals were successfully synthesized, namely [N(CH 2 CH 3 ) (CH Cl)][ClO 4 ] (1) and Cl)][BF (2), with high-temperature reversible phase transitions. In addition, compounds 1 also show obvious CD signals.

The reaction of [Rh(μ-Cl)(cod)]2 with diimines, differing in their steric and electronic properties, diphenylphosphine oxide leads to the oxidative addition products, hydrido-phosphinito-Rh(III) complexes {Rh(PPh2OH)(PPh2O)(NN)(H)Cl} (1), stabilized by formation a hydrogen bonded phosphinous acid-phosphinito quasi-chelate [(PO⋅⋅⋅HOP)-κ2P]. Exchange hydride chloride afford {Rh(PPh2OH)(PPh2O)(NN)...

The genotoxicity of the rhodium(III) complex cis-[Rh(biq)(2)Cl(2)]Cl (complex R) in cultured human lymphocytes was studied using the chromosome aberrations (CAs) assay. Lymphocyte cultures were initiated from two adult healthy non-smoking male volunteers and were exposed to the complex for a duration of 3 or 20 h prior to cell collection. The reduction in mitotic indices (MI) and the induction ...

Mono- and binuclear arene–ruthenium(II) complexes with imidazole-containing ligands were prepared by the reaction of (L1 = bis(imidazole-1-yl)methane; ImH 1H-Imidazole; BImH 1H-Benzimidazole) [(p-cym)Ru(µ-Cl)2]2 dimers. When bis(imidazole-1-yl)methane reacted in methanol, a complex type [Ru2(L1)2(p-cym)2Cl2]Cl2 (2) cyclic structure was synthesized, whereas using acetonitrile as solvent under sa...

Ganglioside patterns of a cloned Simian virus 40- (SV40) induced hamster tumor cell (Cl(2)TSV(5)-S), its normal variant (Cl(2)TSV(5)-R) which are Cl(2)TSV(5)-S gradually adapted to grow in the presence of 2 microg/ml actinomycin D and exhibit certain normal phenotypic characteristics, and its back variant (Cl(2)TSV(5)-RR), which are Cl(2)TSV(5)-R cells grown in the absence of actinomycin D for ...

The title tetra-nuclear Sn(IV) compound, [Sn(4)(C(7)H(6)Cl)(8)Cl(2)O(2)(OH)(2)], has site symmetry . Two O(2-) and two OH(-) anions bridge four Sn(IV) cations to form the tetra-nuclear compound. The two independent Sn(IV) cations assume SnO(3)C(2) and SnO(2)C(2)Cl distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometries. Intra-molecular O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding is present in the structure. One Cl ...

The state-selective positive-ion and negative-ion dissociation pathways of gaseous and condensed Si(CH(3))(2)Cl(2) following Cl 2p, Cl 1s, and Si 2p core-level excitations have been characterized. The excitations to a specific antibonding state (15a(1) (*) state) of gaseous Si(CH(3))(2)Cl(2) at the Cl 2p, Cl 1s, and Si 2p edges produce significant enhancement of fragment ions. This ion enhancem...

The interactions of the parent complexes [AuCl(Terpy)]Cl(2) and [PtCl(Terpy)]Cl with DNA were analysed by various physicochemical methods. Surprisingly, these metal complexes produce different interaction patterns with DNA in spite of their profound structural similarity. Indeed, important modifications are detected in the characteristic UV-Vis bands of [PtCl(Terpy)]Cl upon addition of ct-DNA, ...

metalloporphirins; cu(tpp), mn(tpp)cl, co(tpp), fe(tpp)cl, zn(tpp) and mn(obp)cl catalyze region and chemoselective silylation of hydroxyl groups with hmds. fe(tpp)cl is the most effective catalyst and silylation occurs immediately in its presence at room temperature.
