A novel ruthenium(II) complex with specific luminescent selectivity towards hybrid G-quadruplex DNA was developed that can easily be distinguished by the naked eye without further treatment.

Correspondence: Cem Yasar Sanhal e-mail: cemsanhal@ yahoo.com Objective. To compare the efficacy of five adhesions barrier products with a control group in a rat model. Methods. In this randomized controlled animal study, standardized lesions on parietal peritoneum of rats were created by sandpaper and three interrupted sutures. Afterwards, the lesions were treated with Seprafilm, Interceed, Pr...

As early as 1927, legislation in the United States governing the packaging of lyeand acidcontaining products mandated that warning labels be placed on these products. In response to the recognition that caustic exposures were more frequent in children, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act and Poison Prevention Packaging Act were passed in 1970; these acts mandated that all caustics with a conce...

S106 is a bipolar nebula illuminated and excited by a central star called S106 IR. Depending on its distance (literature values range from 500 pc to 5.7 kpc) this star is of late O to early B spectral type. There is evidence that S106 is physically associated with the molecular cloud complex of Cygnus X. The bipolar nebula is the dominant feature in an embedded cluster of young stars forming in...

A series of dithia[3.3]metaparacyclophane-based monometal ruthenium acetylide complexes have been synthesized. All of the complexes have been fully characterised by NMR spectrometry, X-ray crystallography and elemental analyses. At the same time, their basic optical properties, such as UV/Vis absorption spectra, and electrochemical properties have been determined. (1)H NMR and X-ray crystal str...

The ruthenium hydride of (Ar(4)CpOH)Ru(CO)(2)H exchanges cleanly and rapidly with D(2) at room temperature to generate the ruthenium deuteride. A chain mechanism is proposed to explain the much more rapid exchange of RuH/D(2) than RuCO exchange with (13)CO.

The behavior of the compound [RuCl(cym)(H2biim)][BAr'4] (cym = eta6-para-isopropylmethylbenzene, Ar' = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl), synthesized from [[RuCl(cym)]2(mu-Cl)2], H2biim and NaBAr'4, has been studied as a receptor of anions both in solution and in the solid state.
