Two new cyclometallated platinum(II) complexes have been prepared that incorporate a terdentate N^C^N-coordinating ligand and a monodentate acetylide co-ligand. The complexes, namely [PtL– C^C–C6H3F2] and [PtL 6–C^C–C6H3F2] (where HL 3 1⁄4 5-methyl-1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene; HL 1⁄4 5-mesityl-1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene; H–C^C–C6H3F2 1⁄4 3,5-difluorophenylacetylene), were prepared by ligand metathes...

The acquisition of myoblast commitment to the myogenic linage requires rises in intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i). Putative cell membrane pathways involved in these [Ca(2+)]i increments are P2 receptors (P2Rs) as well as connexin (Cx) and/or pannexin (Panx) hemichannels and channels (Cx HChs and Panx Chs), respectively, which are known to permeate Ca(2+). Reserve cells (RCs) a...

A simple column electrode, S-CE, with a glassy carbon fibers working electrode stuffed into a Teflon tube was developed. The current-potential curves for the reductions of [Fe(CN)(6)](3-) and Fe(3+) observed at the S-CE were analyzed based on a theory for those at an ordinary column electrode. A quantitative electrolysis was performed at the S-CE rapidly within 20 s. An accurate and precise cou...

Different catalytic oxidation effects of Ce on W(110) and W(111) were observed with photoemission spectroscopy. On Ce-covered W(110), the top W layer is quickly oxidized to a surface monoxide at room temperature. Oxidation is almost halted after the completion of one monolayer of WO. On Ce/W(111), instead of WO, WO3 grows on the surface under the same conditions. The monolayer suboxide formatio...

A series of ceria nanocatalysts have been prepared to study the structure dependency of the CO oxidation reaction. The ceria samples with well-defined nanostructures (nanocubes/Ce-NC and nanorods/Ce-NR) have been prepared using the hydrothermal method. Mesoporous ceria (Ce-MES) and ceria synthesized with solution combustion technique (Ce-SCS) have also been prepared for comparison. The lowest C...
