In the title complex, trans-[PtCl(2)(C(9)H(7)N)(2)], the Pt(II) ion is four-coordinated in an essentially square-planar coordination environment defined by two N atoms from two quinoline (qu) ligands and two Cl(-) anions. The Pt atom is located on an inversion centre and thus the asymmetric unit contains one half of the complex; the PtN(2)Cl(2) unit is exactly planar. The dihedral angle between...

Platinum(iv) complexes take advantage of the exclusive conditions that occur within the tumor to carry out their cytotoxic activity. On the other hand, silk fibroin has natural properties which make it very interesting as a biomaterial: high biocompatibility, biodegradability, low immunogenicity, high cellular penetration capacity and high reactive surface. Herein we report the preparation of s...

We study the production of hadrons in Au+Au collisions in the region 0.6 < xF < 1.2, which we refer to as the trans-fragmentation region (TFR), since it corresponds roughly to η′ > 0, where η′ = η−ybeam, depending on pT . We show how hadrons can be produced in that region when the hadronization process is parton recombination. The inclusive x-distributions for proton and pion production are cal...

The synthesis and photophysical study of (C/\N)Pt(II)Q complexes, where C/\N is a bidentate cyclometalating ligand and Q is 8-hydroxyquinoline or quinoline-8-thiol, are presented. The compounds were obtained as a single isomer with N atoms of the C/\N and Q ligands trans-coordinated to the Pt(II) center as shown by X-ray crystallography. These chromophores absorb intensely in the visible region...

Mismatch repair proteins, DNA damage-recognition proteins and translesion DNA polymerases discriminate between Pt-GG adducts containing cis-diammine ligands (formed by cisplatin (CP) and carboplatin) and trans-RR-diaminocyclohexane ligands (formed by oxaliplatin (OX)) and this discrimination is thought to be important in determining differences in the efficacy, toxicity and mutagenicity of thes...

The preparation of Pt(ii) complexes of the type trans-L2Pt(Ar)Cl, L2Pt(Ar)2, and L2Pt(Ar)(Ar') (L = PBu3, Ar = arylene) by CuI catalyzed reaction of cis-(PBu3)2PtCl2 with aryl-stannanes is reported. The reactions proceed at 25-60 °C in moderate to good yields. The reaction is demonstrated to occur with phenyl- and 2-thienyl-stannanes that include a variety of functionality, and all of the resul...

Single crystals of cis-[Pt(NO2)2(NH3)2], were obtained by means of hyper-saturation directly out of a plating electrolyte. The square-planar coordination environment of the divalent Pt(II) atom is formed by four N atoms belonging to two ammine and two monodentate nitrite ligands. The ligands adopt a cis configuration. The crystal structure contains stacks of close-packed mol-ecules which run pa...

Four platinum (II) complexes (13-16) were synthesized by reacting either [Pt trans-DACH](NO(3))(2) with a 6-maleimidocaproic acid, a 15-maleimido-4,7,10,13-tetroxapentadecanoic acid, and a 6-maleimido-4-oxacaproic ester derivative of cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid (CDBA) or [Pt(NH(3))(2)](NO(3))(2) with a 6-maleimido-4-oxacaproic ester derivative of CBDA. Both complexes containing the 6-male...

The quadruplex structures of the human telomere sequences AG3(T2AG3)3 I and (T2AG3)4 II were investigated in the presence of Na+ and K+ ions, through the cross-linking of adenines and guanines by the cis- and trans-[Pt(NH3)2(H2O)2](NO3)2 complexes 1 and 2. The bases involved in chelation of the cis- and trans-Pt(NH3)2 moieties were identified by chemical and 3'-exonuclease digestions of the pro...
