Photolysis of porphyrin-ruthenium(IV) dichlorate complexes with visible light results in homolytic cleavage of the O-Cl bond in the chlorates to form trans-dioxoruthenium(VI) species bearing either sterically encumbered or unencumbered porphyrin ligands.

the antioxidant potential of crude methanol extract (ce) as well as chloroform (cf), ethyl acetate (ef) and n-butanol (nf) soluble fractions of enhydra fluctuans lour, which is widely used in indigenous system of medicine for different purposes, were studied. the antioxidant potential of extract/different fractions were evaluated using different in vitro antioxidant models. in addition, total a...

we investigate the long-term behavior of solutions of the difference equation[ x_{n+1}=x_{n}x_{n-3}-1 ,, n=0 ,, 1 ,, ldots ,, ]noindent where the initial conditions $x_{-3} ,, x_{-2} ,, x_{-1} ,, x_{0}$ are real numbers.  in particular, we look at the periodicity and asymptotic periodicity of solutions, as well as the existence of unbounded solutions.
