Pt···Pt···Pt interactions via their d(8) orbitals, combined with π-π stacking of deprotonated, chelating 2-(3'-pyrazolyl)pyridine (pyzpy) ligands, are responsible for trans-Pt(pyzpy)(2) (2) crystallization in a stack of three molecules unsupported by any bridging ligand.

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) efficiencies of DNA lesions can vary by orders of magnitude, for reasons that remain unclear. An example is the pair of N-(2'-deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-aminofluorene (dG-C8-AF) and N-(2'-deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene (dG-C8-AAF) adducts that differ by a single acetyl group. The NER efficiencies in human HeLa cell extracts of these lesions are significant...

An efficient process was described to prepare a novel 6?bromo?2?chloro?3-butylquinazolin-4(3H)-one. The targeted compound synthesized from available chemicals and assessed for anti-bacterial activity. This new structure crystallises in the triclinic system with P-1 space group. Its unit cell parameters are (a = 4.91550(10) Å, b 11.4764(2) c 12.1670(3) Å), volume (638.11(4) Å3), ?= 110.079(8)°, ...

In the title compound, [Cu(C(8)H(8)NO)(2)], a strictly square-planar geometry about the Cu(II) metal atom is observed. Substitution of an O atom with a methyl-functionalized N atom does not significantly alter the bond distances and angles in the copper(II) complex when compared with a similar bis-(troponato)copper(II) complex. π-π stacking is observed between the tropolone rings, with inter-pl...

In the title compound, [Pb(C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Pb(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and four O atoms from two 4-methyl-benzoate anions in a distorted pseudo-square-pyramidal environment, considering one of the carboxyl-ate anions as an apical ligand. Pairs of complex mol-ecules related by inversion centers are organized into dimers via pairs...
