Platelets undergo shape change upon activation with agonists. During shape change, disc-shaped platelets turn into spiculated spheres with protruding filopodia. When agonist-induced cytosolic Ca(2+) increases were prevented using the cytosolic Ca(2+) chelator, 5, 5'-dimethyl-bis-(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (5, 5'-dimethyl-BAPTA), platelets still underwent shape change, alt...

• The salts with protonated bipyridines and [W(CN) 6 (bpy)] 2- were synthesized. layered structure of compared to their analogues alkali metal cations. dimethyl substituted bipyridine as a cation shows 3D dimensionality. cation-anion distance was discussed in relation position the UV-Vis bands. ion-pair-charge-transfer transitions these found 8 ] 4− analogues. series 2− 2,2′-bpy (1), 4,4′-bpy (...

Copper(II)  complex  [Cu(dmbt)2(H2O)](ClO4)2 (1)  was  prepared  from  the  reaction  of  copper(II) perchlorate  hexahydrate  with  2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-bithiazole  (dmbt)  ligand  in  methanol  at  ambient temperature. The complex was quantitatively and qualitatively characterized by elemental analysis, absorption  and  infrared  spectrometries.  Complex  [Cu(DMSO)5](ClO4)2 (2)  was  also  synt...
