Phosphinidenes
Of the low-valent organophosphorus compounds phosphinidenes occupy a special place. In ‘free’ phosphinidenes the phosphorus atom carries a single... -
Asymmetric Processes Catalyzed by Chiral (Salen)Metal Complexes
A wide variety of highly selective asymmetric reactions catalyzed by chiral (salen)metal complexes have been disclosed over the past decade. Salen... -
Laser Application of Polymers
Laser ablation of polymers has been studied with designed materials to evaluate the mechanism of ablation and the role of photochemically active... -
On the Prebiotic Synthesis of Nucleobases, Nucleotides, Oligonucleotides, Pre-RNA and Pre-DNA Molecules
All the strategies for the prebiotic syntheses of RNA and DNA assume the adequate availability of the presumptive precursors such as purine and... -
Sparteine as a Chiral Ligand for Asymmetric Catalysis
While the use of stoichiometric amounts of sparteine and related ligands in various asymmetric reactions often lead to highly enantioselective... -
The Zintl–Klemm Concept Applied to Cations in Oxides. II. The Structures of Silicates
The structures of ternary and quaternary silicates are revisited on the basis of the Zintl–Klemm concept and the Pearson's generalised octet rule.... -
Probing Hydrogen Bonding in Solids Using Solid State NMR Spectroscopy
Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful and versatile technique for probing structural and dynamic properties of... -
Determination of the absolute fringe number in Rayleigh interference patterns in systems at sedimentation equilibrium via a newly defined function (kΔ)
Analysis of data from the analytical ultracentrifuge used in sedimentation equilibrium modes calls for knowledge of the absolute (as distinct from... -

Polarons and Transport in DNA
It has been widely considered that the wavefunction of an extra electron or hole on the base stack of a DNA molecule is confined to a single site,... -
Heat Capacity Studies of Spin Crossover Systems
As the spin crossover phenomena occurring in Oh symmetry involve a transfer of electrons between the eg and t2g orbitals, the metal-to-ligand bond... -
Time-Resolved Relaxation Studies of Spin Crossover Systems in Solution
This chapter focuses on the kinetics of spin-state relaxation, primarily in iron(II) complexes in solution. Initial work carried out during the 1970s... -
Density Functional Theory Calculations for Spin Crossover Complexes
Density functional theory (DFT) provides a theoretical framework for efficient and fairly accurate calculations of the electronic... -
Comparative modeling of giant annelid hemoglobins
The information provided by small-angle X-ray scattering, electron microscopy and hydrodynamics for the giant hemoglobins from different annelid... -
Characterization of bovine serum albumin/chlorogenic acid solution mixtures by analytical ultracentrifugation
The aim of this work was to investigate a possible interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) in KH2PO4/K2HPO4 buffer... -
The state of association of the Na+-translocating reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide:quinone oxidoreductase in detergent solution – an ultracentrifugation study
Na+:reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide:quinone reductase (Na+ -NQR) is a redox-driven sodium pump found in some bacterial respiratory chains.... -
Octahedral Zirconium Complexes as Polymerization Catalysts
The synthesis and X-ray structure of various octahedral zirconium complexes and their catalytic properties in the polymerization of α-olefins are... -
The Rise of Organophosphorus Derivatives in π-Conjugated Materials Chemistry
This chapter concerns the synthesis and properties of π-conjugated oligomers and polymers containing phosphorus moieties, an area of increasing... -
Carboselenothioic and Carbodiselenoic Acid Derivatives and Related Compounds
In this chapter we consider derivatives of carboselenothioic and carbodiselenoic acids, and compounds related to them. Ammonium salts and inner salts... -
Development of Technetium-99m and Rhenium-188 Radiopharmaceuticals Containing a Terminal Metal–Nitrido Multiple Bond for Diagnosis and Therapy
The chemistry of nitrido complexes of technetium has played an important role in the search of new Tc-99m radiopharmaceuticals and in providing...
