We describe the characterization and utility of a new electrochemiluminescent (ECL) label for oligonucleotides, utilizing phosphoramidite chemistry. This phosphoramidite of the tris(2,2-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complex, bis(2,2-bipyridine)(4-[4-(2-cyanoethoxy-N,N-diisopropyl-amino) phosphinoxybutyl]4'-methyl)2,2-bipyridine ruthenium(II) dihexafluorophosphate or Origen phosphoramidite, enables t...

Three new phytoecdysteroid compounds, named niuxixinsterone A (1), B (2) and C (3) with acetal functions in the side-chain were isolated from Achyranthes bidentata Bl. The structures were established as (20R,22R,24S)-20-O,22-O-(5'-hydroxymethyl)-furfurylidene-2β,3β,14α,25-tetrahydroxy-5β-ergost-7-en-6-one (1), (20R,22R)-20-O,22-O-(5'-hydroxymethyl)-furfurylidene-2β,3β,25-trihydroxy-14β-methyl-1...

There has been considerable interest in the pro­ ducts of the reaction of 2 ,2 '-bipyridine with di­ bromoalkanes. The bridged diquaternary salt (1) from 2 ,2 '-bipyridine and 1 ,2 -dibromoethane is the well-known herbicide diquat dibromide [1]. Similar bridged salts are obtained with 1,3-dibromopropane and 1,4-dibromobutane [2] but reaction of 2,2'-bipyridine with 1,5-dibromopentane gives inst...

The syntheses and the electrochemical spectroscopic properties of a suite of asymmetrical bistridentate cyclometalated Ru(II) complexes bearing terminal triphenylamine (TPA) substituents are reported. These complexes, which contain structural design elements common to both inorganic and organic dyes that exhibit superior power conversion efficiencies in the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), are...

The single electron transfer (SET) reactivity of metal alkyls and hydrides is currently receiving growing attention [1-3]. Thus, it has been demonstrated that aluminum species AIX3 (X = R [4], H [5], Cl [6]) can react with reducible carbonyl compounds to form aluminium containing radical complexes [4-6]. Besides carbonyl compounds, certain N-heterocycles can also be used as electron transfer su...

In the main search, efforts are made to develop properties of PMMA resin that is used: To create a blend polymer for upper and lower prosthesis complete denture, several weight ratios poly vinyl pyrrolidone (pvp) (0,2%, 6%, 10%, 14%, 18%, 22%, 26%) were added cold-cured methyl methacrylate (PMMA). The effects external polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) concentrations on mechanical features such as hard...
