Amidate-bridged diplatinum(II) entities [Pt(2)(bpy)(2)(μ-amidato)(2)](2+) (amidate = pivalamidate and/or benzamidate; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) were covalently linked to one or two Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)-type derivatives. An amide group was introduced at the periphery of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) derivatives to give metalloamide precursors [Ru(bpy)(2)(BnH)](2+) (abbreviated as RuBnH, n = 1 and 2), where deprotonatio...

The binary A(8)B phase (prototype Pt(8)Ti) has been experimentally observed in 11 systems. A high-throughput search over all the binary transition intermetallics, however, reveals 59 occurrences of the A(8)B phase: Au(8)Zn(dagger), Cd(8)Sc(dagger), Cu(8)Ni(dagger), Cu(8)Zn(dagger), Hg(8)La, Ir(8)Os(dagger), Ir(8)Re, Ir(8)Ru(dagger), Ir(8)Tc, Ir(8)W(dagger), Nb(8)Os(dagger), Nb(8)Rh(dagger), Nb(...

Although fetal pulmonary trunk (PT) blood pressure may exceed aortic trunk (AoT) pressure, the specific mechanism(s) underlying this pressure difference remain undefined. To evaluate the potential role of ventricular and vascular factors in the generation of a fetal PT-AoT pressure difference, nine anesthetized late-gestation fetal sheep were instrumented with PT and AoT micromanometer catheter...

Synthesis and characterization of the monomeric complex ((t)bpy)Pt(Me)(NHPh) ((t)bpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-dipyridyl) has been accomplished. Mechanistic studies reveal that 1,2-addition of dihydrogen across the Pt-anilido bond to initially produce ((t)bpy)Pt(Me)(H) and free aniline is catalyzed by elemental Pt rather than through a pathway that involves direct activation of H(2) by Pt and 1...

Structures of carbon supported Pt-Ru catalyst in a polymer-electrolyte-fuel-cell (PEFC) were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAFS). XRD analysis identified a face-centered-cubic (fcc) alloy structure for Pt-Ru. XAFS analysis revealed that Pt and Ru atoms were, however, not randomly distributed in the Pt-Ru fcc lattice. A Pt atom was more likely surrounded ...

In the crystal structure of the acid platinum phosphate dipotassium di-μ-hydrogenphosphato-bis-[aqua-platinum(III)](Pt-Pt), K(2)[Pt(2)(HPO(4))(4)(H(2)O)(2)], the (Pt(2))(6+) dumbbells within the paddle-wheel complex show Pt-Pt distances of 2.4944 (5) and 2.4892 (5) Å. The pottassium ions are seven-fold coordinated by hydrogenphosphate groups. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to establi...

The inhibitory effect of benzoic acid hydrazide (bah) and 3-methoxybenzoic acid hydrazide (mbah) on Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains has been compared to that of their platinum(II) complexes: cis-[Pt(mbah)2X2], cis-[Pt(NH3)(mbah)Cl2].0.5 H2O, cis-[Pt(mbah)2X2] and cis[Pt(NH3)(mbah)Cl2] (mean = Cl, Br = I), and cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]. The minimal inhibitory concentrations for bah and mbah were 5000-2...

Platinum (Pt) nanocrystals have demonstrated to be an effective catalyst in many heterogeneous catalytic processes. However, pioneer facets with highest activity have been reported differently for various reaction systems. Although Pt has been the most important counter electrode material for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), suitable atomic arrangement on the exposed crystal facet of Pt for t...
