Zinc-containing derivatives of 2-aminopyrimidine

A platform containing three anticancer components is proposed. The components are a radioactive ⁶⁹mZn isotope and zinc complexes, where both zinc and ligand exhibit anticancer properties. Two zinc-containing complexes, namely (2-AP)₂ZnCl₂ and (2-AP)₂Zn(Sal)₂ (AP is 2-aminopyrimidine, Sal is salicylate) were synthesized and characterized. Their cytotoxicity with respect to some leukemia cell lines is demonstrated. Their stability in physiological solution and percentage of apoptosis (by flow cytometry) are investigated. Stable complexes of compounds with the isotope ⁶⁹mZn were characterized by TLC and autoradiography.     

Influence of surface properties of the titanium dioxide porous films on the characteristics of solar cells

Porous films formed by cylindrical geometrically anisotropic fragments of TiO₂ have been produced by electrochemical anodization of titanium. The specific surface area and pore volume of the samples were determined by the BET method. It is shown that the samples have a bimodal pore-size distribution with maxima depending on the anodization voltage: by increase in voltage the inner diameter of the cylindrical pores grows, which leads to a decrease in the specific surface area. Dye sensitized solar cells were assembled on the basis of the obtained materials to study the effect of certain characteristics on the efficiency of solar energy conversion. The electrical transport properties of the films were studied by impedance spectroscopy.
