Light driven styrene epoxidation and hydrogen generation using H2O as an oxygen source in a photoelectrosynthesis cell
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-10-02)
A dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cell (DSPEC) has been prepared for the oxidation of alkenes to
epoxides and evolution of hydrogen using water as an oxygen source and sunlight. A Ru oxidation catalyst,
2,2+
, is ...
Synthesis of migrastatin analogues as inhibitors of tumour cell migration: Exploring structural change in and on the macrocyclic ring
(Wiley, 2015-11-04)
Migrastatin and isomigrastatin analogues have been synthesised in order to contribute to structure-activity studies on tumour cell migration inhibitors. These include macrocycles varying in ring size, functionality and ...
Sulfamerazine: Understanding the influence of slip planes in the polymorphic phase transformation through X-ray crystallographic studies and ab initio lattice dynamics
(American Chemical Society, 2015-08-28)
Understanding the polymorphism exhibited by organic active-pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), in particular the relationships between crystal structure and the thermodynamics of polymorph stability, is vital for the ...
DNA damage and induction of apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells by a new dinuclear bis(triazacyclonane) copper complex
(Elsevier, 2015-01-26)
The dinuclear copper(II) complex [Cu-2{bcmp(-H)}(mu-OH)](NO3)(2)center dot H2O (1, bcmp = 2,6-bis(1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-ylmethyl)-4-methylphenol) has been synthesized and characterized by electrospray ionization mass ...
Cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity of triorganotin(IV) complexes of phenylcyanamide prepared by sonochemical synthesis
(Elsevier, 2015-09-25)
This article describes the synthesis and characterization of novel triorganotin(IV) complexes and their potential medicinal applications. Triorganotin(IV) complexes with formulas [(SnMe3)(2)(mu-bp)(H2O)(2)], 1, and ...
Scaling behavior of polymers at liquid/liquid interfaces
(American Chemical Society, 2015-09-14)
The dynamics of a polymer chain confined in a soft 2D slit formed by two immiscible liquids is studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations. We show that the scaling behavior of a polymer confined between two liquids ...
Glycoclusters as lectin inhibitors: comparative analysis on two plant agglutinins with different folding as a step towards rules for selectivity
(Elsevier, 2015-09-23)
The emerging physiological significance of carbohydrate (glycan) protein (lectin) recognition engenders the interest to design synthetic inhibitors with a high level of selectivity among natural sugar receptors. Plant ...
Experimental and kinetic modeling study of 2-methyl-2-butene: allylic hydrocarbon kinetics
(American Chemical Society, 2015-03-20)
Two experimental studies have been carried out on the oxidation of 2-methyl-2-butene, one measuring ignition delay times behind reflected shock waves in a stainless steel shock tube, and the other measuring fuel, intermediate, ...
Comparison of the performance of several recent syngas combustion mechanisms
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-01-22)
A large set of experimental data was accumulated for syngas combustion: ignition studies in shock tubes (732 data points in 62 datasets) and in rapid compression machines (492/47), flame velocity determinations (2116/217) ...
An experimental and kinetic modeling study of the pyrolysis and oxidation of n-C-3-C-5 aldehydes in shock tubes
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-08-24)
Due to the increasing interest in the use of biofuels for energy production, it is of great importance to better understand the combustion and thermal decomposition characteristics of species such as aldehydes. These are ...
