We have studied the retention indices of 127 volatile substances on a C-78-paraffin and on its seven nearly isochor and isomorphous polar derivatives over a temperature range of 90-210 A degrees C. The retention index of a substance on the C-78 paraffin ha ...
Dinuclear ruthenium complexes were shown to exhibit strong antiproliferative properties in human tumor cell lines. In order to extend the structure−activity relationships (SARs), a series of new RuII(arene)X complexes (X = Cl, Br, I) linked by pyridinone-b ...
A review. Platinum complex-based chemotherapy is one of the major treatment options of many malignancies. Although severe side effects occur, and only a limited spectrum of tumors can be cured, Pt compds. are used in every second therapy scheme. Thus, many ...
The one-step conversion of cellulose to C6-alcs. via green and energy efficient approaches has, as far as we are aware, not been reported. Such a process presents a considerable challenge, the two key problems being (1) finding a suitable solvent that diss ...
Neutral metallamacrocycles with four or ten metal centers were obtained by reaction of [(R3P)PdCl2]2 with 2,3-dihydroxypyridine and derivatives or 2-hydroxynicotinic acid in the presence of base. In all these assemblies, the two O-donor atoms of the ligand ...
A heterobimetallic Ru(II)-Rh(I) complex has been identified as a potent catalyst precursor for the Oppenauer-type oxidation of alcohols. With 0.1-0.5 mol% of this complex and K2CO3 as the co-catalyst, it is possible to oxidize secondary and primary alcohol ...
