2 coordination polymers with rare NiP2 and kgd topologies synthesized; for the time an indazole cycle formed through intramolecular amination cyclization

In Situ Synthesis of MOFs

Phosphatidylserine – Novel Receptor
Phosphatidylserine lipid photoaffinity cross-linking probes synthesized for identification of novel receptors (discovery biology, anti-inflammatory therapeutics, cellular delivery)

Novel Primary & Secondary N-acylamidines
Synthesis, structures, and aggregation properties of novel primary and secondary N-acylamidines

Singlet Oxygen Photosensitizers
Water-soluble Pt and Pd tetrasulfophthalocyanines show good photostability and photosensitize the generation of singlet oxygen, which can be efficiently used in ene reactions for synthetic purposes

Proton Affinity and Gas-Phase Basicity of SO2
New gas-phase experiments and theoretical calculations revise significantly downward the proton affinity and gas-phase basicity of SO2

Increasing Oxygen Delivery
Allosteric Effectors of Human Hemoglobin

Tackling Mad Cow Disease and its Relatives
Hope for previously untreatable, prion-caused diseases comes from the indole-3-glyoxylamide family

Adding Value to Biodiesel By-Products
Iron and vanadium-based catalyst converts the major by-product of biodiesel production into acrylic acid and acrolein

Cytotoxic Amphidinin B Synthesized
The first stereoselective total synthesis of Amphidinin B has been achieved on a gram-scale, allowing biological evaluation
