The search for new anticancer drugs based on biogenic metals, which have weaker side effects compared to platinum-based drugs, remains an urgent task in medicinal chemistry. Titanocene dichloride, a coordination compound of fully biocompatible titani...
The development of efficient C-C bond-forming reactions remains an important objective in organic chemistry. These reactions are fundamental tools for building complex molecules for diverse applications. Among the various strategies available, radica...
Bent metallocene dichlorides (Cp2MCl2, M = Ti, Mo, Nb, …) have found interest as anti-cancer drugs in order to overcome the drawbacks associated with platinum-based therapeutics. However, they suffer from poor hydrolytic stability at physiological pH...
For more than 100 years metal complexes have been extensively used in therapy and since the discovery of cisplatin the research in this field has expanded exponentially. The scientific community is always in search of new alternatives to platinum com...
[TiCp2S5] (phase A), [TiCp2Se5] (phase F), and five solid solutions of mixed titanocene selenide sulfides [TiCp2SexS5−x] (Cp = C5H5−) with the initial Se:S ranging from 1:4 to 4:1 (phases B–E) were prepared by reduction of elemental...

Selected results for the synthesis of cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs)—especially copolymerizations of norbornene (NBE) or tetracyclododecene (TCD) with ethylene and α-olefins (1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-dodecene)—using group 4 transition metal (titanium a...
Over time platinum-based anticancer drugs have dominated the market, but their side effects significantly impact the quality of life of patients. Alternative treatments are being developed all over the world. The titanocene and auranofin families of...
Half-titanocenes are well known to show high activity for ethylene polymerization and good capability for copolymerization of ethylene with other olefins, and the ancillary ligands can crucially affect the catalytic performance. In this paper, the me...
The development of polyolefin from bio-renewables has been considered an important subject in terms of circular economy. In this study, exploring the possibility of β-myrcene (MY) incorporation in propene copolymerization has been studied in the...
The Reformatsky reaction, first reported in 1887, has long been recognized as a fundamental method for carbon–carbon bond construction due to its mild conditions and functional group tolerance. Over the past few decades, this transformation has...
Background: Temperature-sensitive radiopharmaceutical precursors require lower reaction temperatures (<100 °C) during nucleophilic radiofluorination in order to avoid compound thermolysis, often resulting in sub-optimal radiochemical yields (R...
