Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful non-invasive diagnostic tool that can provide important insights for medical treatment monitoring and optimization. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a minimally invasive treatment for various types of tumors,...

We report the synthesis and characterization of [Cu(P^P)(N^S)][PF₆] complexes with P^P = bis(2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl) ether (POP) or 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9- dimethylxanthene (xantphos) and N^S = 2-(iso-propylthio)pyridine (iPrSpy) or 2-(t...

We have theoretically studied the formation of hydrogen-bonded (HB) and halogen-bonded (XB) complexes of halogen oxoacids (HXO_n) with Lewis bases (NH₃ and Cl⁻) at the CCSD(T)/CBS//RIMP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. Minima structures have been f...

The enzyme nitrogenase naturally hydrogenates N₂ to NH₃, achieved through the accumulation of H atoms on FeMo-co, the Fe₇MoS₉C(homocitrate) cluster that is the catalytically active site. Four intermediates, E₁H₁, E₂H₂, E₃H₃, and E₄H₄, carry these hyd...

It is with great pleasure to welcome readers to this Special Issue of Inorganics, devoted to “Coordination Chemistry of Silicon” [...]

Rigorous peer-review is the corner-stone of high-quality academic publishing [...]

Tetrazolato-bridged dinuclear platinum(II) complexes ([{cis-Pt(NH₃)₂}₂(μ-OH)(μ-5-R-tetrazolato-N2,N3)]²⁺; tetrazolato-bridged complexes) are a promising source of next-generation platinum-based drugs. β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) forms inclu...

Cancer is known to be one of the major causes of death nowadays. Among others, chemotherapy with cisplatin is a commonly used treatment. Although widely employed, cisplatin is known to cause severe side effects, such as nerve and kidney damage, nause...

The synthesis, characterization and reactivity of several bi- and tridentate, N-ligated manganese carbonyl trifluoromethyl complexes are presented. These complexes exhibit elongated Mn–C_CF3 bonds (versus Mn(CF₃)(CO)₅), suggesting a lability tha...

The HIV nucleocapsid protein NCp7 was previously shown to play a number of roles in the viral life cycle and was previously identified as a potential target for small molecule intervention. In this work, the synthesis of the previously unreported com...

Since the discovery of cisplatin and its potency in anticancer therapy, the development of metallodrugs has been an active area of research. The large choice of transition metals, oxidation states, coordinating ligands, and different geometries, allo...
