Synthesis, structures, and aggregation properties of novel primary and secondary N-acylamidines

Novel Primary & 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

Past President of IUPAC on the IYC 2011
For the first time in the 100-year history of the IUPAC, the worldwide chemistry community will be celebrating the achievements of chemistry

An Array of Colorful Polymers
Researchers have synthesized different colored polyesters simply by changing the ratio of the starting materials
