Transition-metal alkane-thiolates (i.e., organic salts with formula Me(SR)x, where R is a linear aliphatic hydrocarbon group, –CnH2n+1) undergo a thermolysis reaction at moderately low temperatures (close to 200 °C), which produces metal atoms or metal sulfide species and an organic by-product, disulfide (RSSR) or thioether (RSR) molecules, respectively. Alkane-thiolates are non-polar chemical ...

We describe novel ex vivo method for elimination of tumor cells from cell suspension, Laser Activated Nanothermolysis and propose this method for purging of bone marrow and blood transplants. K562 and human lympholeukemia cells were eliminated in experiments by laser-induced micro-bubbles that emerge inside individual target cells around selectively formed clusters of light-absorbing gold nanop...

Thermal rearrangement of spirans (14) and (31) yields the xanthones (16,34) and diphenylrnethane (15, 32), respectively. The structure for xanthone (16), isolated from thermolysis, has been established by reduction to xanthene (20) followed by reoxidation to give xanthone (16). Alternatively, methylation of the diphenylmethane (15) followed by heating with selenium dioxide also yields xant...

A stability-indicating LC assay method was developed and validated for a simultaneous determination of meropenem and potassium clavulanate in the presence of degradation products formed during acid-base hydrolysis, oxidation and thermolysis. The isocratic RP-HPLC method was developed with a LiChrospher RP-18 (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) column and gradient elution of 12 mmol/L ammonium acetate a...

A new nano-sized lead(II) coordination polymer, [Pb(2-bpdh)(NO3)2]n (1); (2-bpdh = 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene)}, was synthesized by a sonochemical method. The structure of 1 may be considered coordination polymer of lead(II) consist of metallocyclicchains formed by bridging NO3- and 2-bpdh l...

The reusable and easily separable nano-copper ferrite has been used to study its excellent catalytic behavior for thermolysis of modified nitrotriazolone (NTO), an insensitive energetic material act as oxidizer chemical propulsion systems.
