Ru(III) complexes derived from N -methyl derivatives of glycine and 1,3-propylenediamine- N,N ′-diacetato ligands and their activities against HeLa,K562 cell lines and human PBMC

Ruthenium(III) complexes formulated as K₂[Ru(sar)Cl₄]·H₂O and K[Ru(dmgly)₂Cl₂]·3H₂O containing bidentate chelates N-methylglycine (sarcosine, sar) or N,N-dimethylglycine (dmgly) as well as K[Ru(pdda)Cl₂]·2.5H₂O complex with tetradentate 1,3-propylenediamine-N,N′-diacetato were synthesized. The complexes were obtained by direct reaction of ruthenium(III) chloride with the corresponding bidentate or tetradentate ligand followed by addition of a base (KOH). These new complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and electronic absorption spectroscopy. To assess selectivity in the antitumor action of these complexes, their antiproliferative activities against human adenocarcinoma HeLa cells, human myelogenous leukemia K562 cells, human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-361 and MDA-MB-453 cells and normal immunocompetent PBM cells were determined.     

Locking effects in the finite element approximation of elasticity problems

Summary We consider the finite element approximation of the 2D elasticity problem when the Poisson ratiov is close to 0.5. It is well-known that the performance of certain commonly used finite elements deteriorates asv0, a phenomenon calledlocking. We analyze this phenomenon and characterize the strength of the locking androbustness of varioush-version schemes using triangular and rectangular elements. We prove that thep-andh-p versions are free of locking with respect to the error in the energy norm. A generalization of our theory to the 3D problem is also discussed.The work of this author was supported in part by the Office of Naval Research under Naval Research Grant N00014-90-J-1030The work of this author was supported in part by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Air Force Systems Command, U.S. Air Force, under grant AFOSR 89-0252

Synthesis and Characterization of New M‐Triazole Complexes (M = Co,Cu, Zn)

Three new complexes with the ligand 3,5‐diamino‐1,2,4‐triazole (Hdatrz), [Co₃(μ₂‐Hdatrz)₆(H₂O)₆]·(NO₃)₈·4H₂O ( 1 ), [Cu₃(μ₂‐Hdatrz)₄(μ₂‐Cl)₂(H₂O)₂Cl₂]·Cl₂·4H₂O·2C₂H₅OH ( 2 ) and {[Zn₂(μ₂‐SO₄) (μ₃‐datrz)₂]·2H₂O}_n ( 3 ) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 has a linear trinuclear mixed‐valence cobalt structure with six neutral triazole ligands in the N(1), N(2)‐bridging mode. The central cobalt atom, Co(1), is coordinated to six nitrogen atoms (octahedral) whereas the terminal cobalt atom, Co(2), is coordinated to an N₃O₃ moiety (octahedral). In complex 1 , the uudd cyclic water clusters, nitrate anions and the trimeric cations are linked to a supramolecular structure. Complex 2 features a linear trinuclear copper(II) core, with four N(1), N(2)‐bridging triazole ligands and two chlorido bridges. The central copper atom is coordinated to an N₄Cl₂ moiety (octahedral) whereas the terminal copper is coordinated to an N₂Cl₂O moiety (square‐pyramidal). In complex 2 , tetrahedral hydrogen bonding interactions play an important role to form a supramolecular network. Complex 3 exhibits a polymeric structure, with N(1), N(2), N(4)‐bridging triazolate ligands and sulfate bridges, in which zinc is coordinated to an N₃O moiety (tetrahedral). In complex 3 , water molecules and sulfate anions construct the sulfate‐water supramolecular chain with hydrogen bonding interactions. In addition, the complexes were investigated by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopic, and thermogravimetric measurements.     

Ammonia Synthesis at Room Temperature and Atmospheric Pressure from N2: A Boron-Radical Approach

Ammonia, NH₃, is an essential molecule, being part of fertilizers. It is currently synthesized via the Haber–Bosch process, from the very stable dinitrogen molecule, N₂ and dihydrogen, H₂. This process requires high temperatures and pressures, thereby generating ca 1.6 % of the global CO₂ emissions. Alternative strategies are needed to realize the functionalization of N₂ to NH₃ under mild conditions. Here, we show that boron-centered radicals provide a means of activating N₂ at room temperature and atmospheric pressure whilst allowing a radical process to occur, leading to the production of borylamines. Subsequent hydrolysis released NH₄⁺, the acidic form of NH₃. EPR spectroscopy supported the intermediacy of radicals in the process, corroborated by DFT calculations, which rationalized the mechanism of the N₂ functionalization by R₂B radicals.     

On approximation and representation of K-regularized resolvent families

We study the problem of approximation and representation for a family of strongly continuous operators defined in a Banach space. It allows us to extend, and in some cases to improve results from the theory ofC ₀-semigroups of operators to, among others, the theories of cosine families, n-times integrated semigroups, resolvent families and k-generalized solutions by means of an unified method.The author was supported by FONDECYT grants 1980812; 1970722 and DICYT (USACH).

Single Si atom supported on defective boron nitride nanosheet as a promising metal‐free catalyst for N2O reduction by CO or SO2 molecule: A computational study

The low‐temperature reduction of N₂O plays a significant role for solving the growing environmental and health issues caused by emission of this greenhouse gas. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible reaction pathways for the reduction of N₂O by CO or SO₂ molecule over Si‐doped boron nitride nanosheet (Si‐BNNS). According to our results, a B or N‐vacancy defect in BN sheet could be able to greatly stabilize the single Si adatom. The relatively large diffusion barrier for the Si atom over the defective BN sheet also indicates Si‐BNNS is stable enough to be utilized in catalytic reduction of N₂O. The large charge‐transfer from the surface to N₂O leads to the spontaneous dissociation of this molecule into N₂ molecule and an activated oxygen atom (O_ads). The O_ads moiety is then eliminated by CO or SO₂ molecule. The calculated activation energies and reaction energies reveal that the Si atom located on top of the B‐vacancy site has a large catalytic activity toward the reduction of N₂O by CO or SO₂.
