Laser-induced iron oxidation

Oxidation Inhibits Iron-Induced Blood Coagulation

Blood coagulation under physiological conditions is activated by thrombin, which converts soluble plasma fibrinogen (FBG) into an insoluble clot. The structure of the enzymatically-generated clot is very characteristic being composed of thick fibrin fibers susceptible to the fibrinolytic degradation. However, in chronic degenerative diseases, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, cancer, ...

Oxidation-Induced Degradable Nanogels for Iron Chelation

Iron overload can increase cellular oxidative stress levels due to formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS); untreated, it can be extremely destructive to organs and fatal to patients. Since elevated oxidative stress levels are inherent to the condition in such patients, oxidation-induced degradable nanogels for iron chelation were rationally designed by simultaneously polymerizing oxidation-...

Laser induced phase transition in iron thin films

Sulfur versus iron oxidation in an iron-thiolate model complex.

In the absence of base, the reaction of [Fe(II)(TMCS)]PF6 (1, TMCS = 1-(2-mercaptoethyl)-4,8,11-trimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) with peracid in methanol at -20 °C did not yield the oxoiron(IV) complex (2, [Fe(IV)(O)(TMCS)]PF6), as previously observed in the presence of strong base (KO(t)Bu). Instead, the addition of 1 equiv of peracid resulted in 50% consumption of 1. The addition ...
