We report the addition of M–H bonds (M1⁄4 Al, Zn, Mg) to a Rh(III) intermediate generated from the reductive elimination of triethylsilane from [Cp*Rh(H)2(SiEt3)2]. A series of new heterobimetallic complexes possessing Rh–M bonds have been isolated and characterised by a number of spectroscopic (H, Si, C, Rh NMR, infrared, and X-ray diffraction) and computational techniques (NBO and QTAIM analy...

Antagonists of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), unlike the LH-RH agonists, suppress gonadotropins and sex steroid secretion immediately after administration, without initial stimulatory effects. [Ac-D-Nal(2)1,D-Ph(4Cl)2,D-Pal(3)3,D-Cit6,D-Ala10]LH-R H (SB-75; Cetrorelix) is a modern, potent antagonistic analog of LH-RH. In this study, the binding characteristics of receptors for L...

In the title compound, trans-[RhCl{P(C(10)H(7))(3)}(2)(CO)]·3C(3)H(6)O, where P(C(10)H(7))(3) is trinaphthyl-phosphine, the Rh-P bond lengths are 2.3360 (10) and 2.3258 (10) Å, while the Rh-Cl bond length is 2.3525 (11) Å. The coordination around the Rh atom shows a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement.

     The aim of the present research was to study the effects of weak cation exchange resins, polacrilex with exchangeable H+ and polacrillin potassium and strong cation exchange resin sodium polystyrene sulfonate on water uptake behavior of ranitidine hydrochloride. Drug resin complexes (DRC) were prepared and evaluated for the percentage of moisture gain when placed in a humidity c...

Single-crystal to single-crystal solid/gas reactivity and catalysis starting from the precursor sigma-alkane complex [Rh(Cy2PCH2CH2PCy2)(h h-NBA)][BAr4] (NBA 1⁄4 norbornane; Ar 1⁄4 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) is reported. By adding ethene, propene and 1-butene to this precursor in solid/gas reactions the resulting alkene complexes [Rh(Cy2PCH2CH2PCy2)(alkene)x][BAr F 4] are formed. The ethene (x 1⁄4 2) comp...

Binuclear rhodium(II) complexes [Rh(2)Cl(2)(mu-OOCR)(2)(N-N)(2)], [Rh(2)(mu-OOCR)(2)(N-N)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](RCOO)(2) and [Rh(2)Cl(2)(mu-OOCCH(3))(terpy)(2)](H(3)O)Cl(2).9H(2)O (R = H, Me, Bu(n), ph, PhCHOH; N-N = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) and 6,7-dimethyl-2,3- di(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline (dmpq); terpy 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) have been sy...

We recently reported an efficient molecular homogeneous photocatalytic system for hydrogen (H2) production in water combining [Rh(III)(dmbpy)2Cl2](+) (dmbpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) as a H2 evolving catalyst, [Ru(II)(bpy)3](2+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) as a photosensitizer and ascorbic acid as a sacrificial electron donor (Chem. - Eur. J., 2013, 19, 781). Herein, the possible rhodium int...

Single-crystal to single-crystal solid/gas reactivity and catalysis starting from the precursor sigma-alkane complex [Rh(Cy2PCH2CH2PCy2)(h h-NBA)][BAr4] (NBA 1⁄4 norbornane; Ar 1⁄4 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) is reported. By adding ethene, propene and 1-butene to this precursor in solid/gas reactions the resulting alkene complexes [Rh(Cy2PCH2CH2PCy2)(alkene)x][BAr F 4] are formed. The ethene (x 1⁄4 2) comp...

Milked Friesian dairy cows were given 1 or 2 i.v. injections of synthetic LH-RH. The second of 2 injections of LH-RH given 1.5 h apart induced a significantly greater release of LH than did the first. The response to this injection was also significantly greater than that caused by injections given 6 h apart. There was no significant difference between the LH responses to the two injections giv...

The title rhodium Vaska-type complex, trans-[RhCl{P(C(6)H(11))(2)(C(6)H(4)-4-C(3)H(7))(2)}(2)(CO)], crystallizes with an accompanying acetone solvent mol-ecule. The metal atom shows a distorted square-planar coordination environment with selected important geometrical parameters of Rh-P = 2.3237 (6) and 2.3253 (6) Å, Rh-Cl = 2.3724 (6) Å, Rh-C = 1.802 (2) Å, P-Rh-P = 173.42 (2)° and Cl-Rh-C = 1...
