Three novel Zn(II) mononuclear complexes with the general formula ZnL2Cl2 (L = 2-(4-R-phenylmethylene)benzimidazol-2-hydrazines; R-H (1), R-CH3 (2), and R-OCH3 (3)) were synthesized and fully characterized by various means. These complexes demonstrat...

Lanthanum (La(III)) is one of the high-demand rare earth elements with applications in various products. However, La(III) in mining waste streams and electronic waste also poses environmental and health concerns. Therefore, the recovery of La(III) in...

Organometallic complexes of fac-tricarbonylrhenium have been shown to exhibit anticancer properties. Anthrapyrazole anticancer agents act as DNA intercalators and topoisomerase IIα inhibitors, leading to double-strand breaks (DBS) and cell cycl...

This concise review provides an update on the use of calcium-based materials for the prevention of dental caries. Some calcium-based materials promote remineralization and neutralize bacterial acids, disrupting cariogenic biofilms and inhibiting bact...

The development of biosensors for determining the most diverse biomolecules is a constant focus of many research groups. There is a latent need to propose sensors that combine portability, simple measurements, and good analytical performance. Here, w...

Nickel transition metal complexes have shown various biological activities that depend on the ligands and geometry. In this contribution, six Ni(II) nitrate complexes with pyridoxal-semi, thiosemi, and isothiosemicarbazone ligands were examined using...

In oxygen production on plateaus, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) oxygen production is currently the most commonly used oxygen production method. In plateau regions, low pressure leads to a decrease in adsorbent nitrogen–oxygen separation perfo...

The use of metals in biological [...]

Folic acid (FA) is an essential vitamin involved in crucial metabolic processes, while copper(II) ions play significant roles in various biological functions. This study aims to investigate the interaction between FA and Cu2+ using 1H and 13C NMR spe...

Chromium nitride is an important transition metal nitride for studying fundamental properties and for advanced technological applications. It is considered a model system for exploring structural, electronic, and magnetic transitions. These transitio...
