Introduction: This study aimed to assess the role of the rs16969968 variant of nicotinic receptor alpha-5 subunit in regulating smoking behavior and nicotine intake in response to nicotine manipulations among dependent smokers in a naturalistic environment.
Aims And Methods: Sixty-nine adults (19 females) smoking 10 or more cigarettes per day (CPD) were asked to complete four 2-week study phases during which they smoked exclusively one of two types of Spectrum nicotine research cigarettes (FTC nicotine yield 0.8 and 1.
The triruthenium oxo clusters [Ru(OAc)O(L)] and [Ru(OAc)O(L)(CO)] possess unique electronic characteristics that vary based on the ligands L. Here we report an investigation of the structural, electrochemical, and optical properties of clusters with imidazole, benzimidazole, and 4-phenylpyridine ligands. The complexes [Ru(OAc)O(L)] [1: L = imidazole (im); 2: L = benzimidazole (benzim); 3: L = 4-phenylpyridine (4PP)] and [Ru(OAc)O(L)(CO)] (1-CO and 3-CO) were synthesized by reaction of either [Ru(OAc)O(MeOH)] or [Ru(OAc)O(MeOH)(CO)], respectively, with the corresponding heterocycle.
