Identification of novel triazolylquinoxaline-based metal complexes supported by experimental and virtual screenings.

The formation of novel complexes from so far non-investigated ligands and different metal centers is important for the development of new functional materials such as (photo)catalysts or biologically active compounds. Still, promising strategies to quickly and systematically investigate the complexation behavior of selected ligands are rare. We developed an NMR-based screening approach to monitor changes within reaction mixtures containing metals and ligands on a small scale a simple but reliable protocol.

[Cytomorphology of the lipid inclusions of Caryophanon during its growth on an agarized medium].

The cytomorphology of lipid inclusions of Caryophanon latum and Caryophanon tenue was studied in the course of their growth on a solid medium. The paper presents a detailed scheme and microphotographs showing cytomorphological changes in the inclusions of the cultures under study. Staining of the preparations with the lipophilic dye Sudan Black B revealed two types of sudanophilic granules which varied in their location within trichomes, the time at which they appeared in bacteria, and their behaviour toward solvents.
