In the following discussion of the toxicology of the ' newer' metals, it is perhaps more accurate to refer to them as metals which have only recently become of industrial importance. Most of the metals mentioned have long been known, and in some instances have actually been used in quantity. However, many new types of use have developed, or unusual compounds have become important industrially a...

The authors report on the interaction of atomic hydrogen with Sn and thin Ru film at room temperature. The study is done using a combination of photoelectron and low energy ion scattering spectroscopies as well as scanning electron microscopy. The adsorption of hydrogen on a Sn surface leads to the formation of stannane SnH4 , which dissociatively adsorbs on the surface of polycrystalline Ru fi...

Noni (Morinda citrifolia) fruit is a well-known plant used as traditional medicine for preventing some diseases because of its abundance in chemical compounds. This research aimed to determine the phytochemical concentration, composition, and antifungal activity M. citrifolia extract. was extracted with methanol then distilled water partition Subsequently, extract fractionated using various non...

Due to a combination of their promising anticancer properties, limited supply from the marine sponge source and their unprecedented molecular architecture, spirastrellolides represent attractive and challenging synthetic targets. A modular strategy for the synthesis of spirastrellolide A methyl ester, which allowed for the initial stereochemical uncertainties in the assigned structure was adopt...

A group of sterically encumbered peri-substituted acenaphthenes have been prepared, containing tin moieties at the 5,6-positions in 1-3 ([Acenap(SnR3)2], Acenap = acenaphthene-5,6-diyl; R3 = Ph3 (1), Me3 (2); [(Acenap)2(SnMe2)2] (3)) and phosphorus functional groups at the proximal peri-positions in 4 and 5 ([Acenap(PR2)(P(i)Pr2)] R2 = Ph2 (4), Ph((i)Pr) (5)). Bis(stannane) structures 1-3 are d...
