By means of EPR spectroscopy the behaviour of the vanadocene dichloride (I), Cp(2)VCl(2) (Cp=eta(5)-C(5)H(5)), in various deoxygenated and non-deoxygenated physiological media and therapeutic solution as well as in blood plasma and stabilized human blood was studied. On the basis of measured values of isotropic spectroscopic splitting factor g(iso) and isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A(is...

Background: Paraquat dichloride is a highly toxic herbicide which is still used in many developing countries. African cat fish (Clarias gariepinus) is a commercially important species in many countries and was selected assess accumulation and elimination of paraquat dichloride in its tissues. Methods: Groups of ten fish with equal lengths and weights were exposed to varying concentrations of...

The title compound, [Pd(NH3)4]Cl2·4NH3, was crystallized in liquid ammonia from the salt Pd(en)Cl2 (en is ethylenediamine) and is isotypic with [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2·4NH3 [Grassl & Korber (2014 ▶). Acta Cryst. E70, i31]. The Pd(2+) cation is coordinated by four ammonia mol-ecules, exhibiting a square-planar geometry. The chloride anions are surrounded by nine ammonia mol-ecules. These are either bound ...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(20)H(18)N(2)O(2) (2+)·2Cl(-), is composed of one-half of the 2,5-dibenzoyl-benzene-1,4-diaminium dication, located on a centre of inversion, and one Cl(-) ion. The dihedral angle between the central benzene ring and the benzoyl phenyl ring is 53.3 (2)°. In the crystal structure, ions are linked to form a two-dimensional network parallel to the (10) p...

The anions and cations of the title compound, C(5)H(9)N(3) (2+)·2Cl(-), are connected by two chloride-bridged three-centered N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. The aromatic rings are not involved in stacking inter-actions.

In the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, C12H14N2S2 (2+)·2Cl(-)·2H2O, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings in the dication is 9.03 (17)° and the C-S-S-C torsion angle is 96.8 (2)°. The crystal packing can be described as alternating organic and anionic water layers lying parallel to (100), which are linked by N-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and aromatic π-π stacking...

A series of (±)- and (R,R)-tridentate diamino, ortho/para disubstituted phenolate proligands H(NNO(R)) with various phenolate substituents was synthesized and used to prepare indium dichloride complexes (NNO(R))InCl2via salt metathesis of the deprotonated ligands with indium trichloride. These complexes are dinuclear in the solid state, in contrast to previously reported complexes with t-butyl ...

The phase transfer catalysed nucleophilic displacement of 1,3-bis(bromomethyl)benzene, 2-methoxy-5methyl-1,3-bis(bromomethyl)benzene (2) and 1,4-bis(bromomethyl)benzene with 2-mercaptoethanol gives the respective diols 3, 4 and 12 (80–85%), which undergo intermolecular cyclodehydrochlorination with thiodiglycolyl dichloride and pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyl dichloride?HCl to provide m-phenylene (7–10...

Ruthenium complexes are an object of great attention in the field of medicinal chemistry because of their selective antimetastatic properties and low systemic toxicity in comparison to cisplatin, the widely used antitumor drug. Ruthenium-para-cymene-μ-O-dichloride, a newly synthesised Ruthenium compound was used against Dalton’s lymphoma in vivo and in vitro to examine the cytotoxicity of the d...

Allylindium dichloride is an effective reagent for carrying out photolytically initiated radical allylation reactions, as also proved by EPR experiments. In the presence of suitable azides that can give rise to electrophilic radicals, a homolytic chain reaction occurs with formation of allylated compounds. With delta-azido esters and chlorides generation of primary indiumaminyl radicals is foll...
