A comprehensive suite of vertically-resolved volatile organic compound (VOC) measurements were conducted at the Bolder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO) in Erie, Colorado from 18 February to 13 March 2011 as part of the Nitrogen, Aerosol Composition, and Halogens on a tall tower (NACHTT) campaign. The main purpose of this experiment was to investigate and quantify the contribution of monoterpene ox...

Dicationic sandwich complexes containing thiophene, 2-methylthiophene7 2,5-dimethylthiophene, and tetramethylthiophene react with ammonia to give salts of the formula [(ring)Ru(SC4R4NH2)lX where ring = CsMe6 or cymene. The thiophene, 2-methylthiophene, and 2,5-dimethylthiophene complexes undergo C-S cleavage to give iminium-thiolato derivatives. In the case of the 2,5-dimethylthiophene complex,...

Examples of singly-metallated derivatives of 1,1'-bis(o-carborane) have been prepared and spectroscopically and structurally characterised. Metallation of [7-(1'-1',2'-closo-C2B10H11)-7,8-nido-C2B9H10](2-) with a {Ru(p-cymene)}(2+) fragment affords both the unisomerised species [1-(1'-1',2'-closo-C2B10H11)-3-(p-cymene)-3,1,2-closo-RuC2B9H10] (2) and the isomerised [8-(1'-1',2'-closo-C2B10H11)-2...

Reactions of [(η(6)-cymene)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]2 with acylpyrazolone ligands HQ' (HQ' in general; in detail, HQ(CH2Cl) = 2-chloro-1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)ethanone), HQ(hex) = 1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)heptan-1-one), HQ(nPe) = 1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-3,3-dimethylbutan-1-one)), in the presence of base, gave the corresponding [(η(6)-cymene...

RuII(arene) complexes have emerged as a versatile class of compounds to design metallodrugs as potential treatment for a wide range of diseases including cancer and malaria. They feature modes of action that involve classic DNA binding like platinum anticancer drugs, may covalent binding to proteins, or multimodal biological activity. Herein, we report the synthesis and urease inhibition activi...
