Visible light-driven intermolecular electron transfer was observed from a reduced species Ru(bpy)3+, photogenerated via a reductive quenching of the ruthenium photosensitizer by a diethyldithiocarbamate anion, to bioinspired [2Fe2S] model complexes of the iron-only hydrogenase active site. The results indicate that Ru(bpy)32+ can act as a photoactive functional model of the [4Fe4S] cluster, pla...

ajor emphasis is placed today on treating plating solutions and rinsewater to reduce the concentration of toxic metals to below established limits prior to discharge or water reuse. Available technology is adequate for partial treatment of most wastewater; however, new technology is needed to scavenge heavy metals from complexed or chelated compounds in rinsewater. Several report^^-'^ from this...

We compared an immunochemical method specific for plasma proteins with a chemical method, in which interfering substances are separated by gel filtration and "total" urinary protein is determined by the biuret reaction followed by reaction of protein-bound copper with diethyldithiocarbamate after a second gel filtration to remove nonprotein-bound copper. More than 250 24-h urine samples were an...

Thallium-201 diethyldithiocarbamate ([201TI]DDC) was studied in humans as an agent for cerebral blood flow imaging. Brain uptake proved to be complete 90 sec after injection with no appreciable washout or redistribution for hours. Intracarotid injection suggested an almost 100% extraction during the first passage. Whole-body distribution studies demonstrated a brain uptake of 4.3% of the dose c...

Inverse vulcanization is a potential route to the use of large excesses elemental sulfur, creating high-sulfur-content polymers with many applications. The addition metal diethyldithiocarbamate catalyst was previously found bring several benefits inverse vulcanization, making process more attractive industrially. Herein reported establishment and exploration library catalysts for vulcanization....

(DDC)2Zn, disulfiram (DS) metabolite, has shown promisinganticancer effects in vitro but further investigations vivo are limited by itspoor water solubility. In this study, liposomes assessed as a deliverysystem for (DDC)2Zn. Liposomes were prepared the thin-filmhydration method, followed high-pressure homogenisation (HPH) sizereduction. The nano-liposomes then characterised size, polydispersit...

Controlled radical polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole (NVK) via microwave-assisted reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is described. As chain transfer agent, 1,3,5-benzyl tri (diethyldithiocarbamate), was used. The chain transfer agent, containing a 1.3.5-trisubstituted benzene ring as core and three dithiocarbamate functionalities attached through an intermed...
