Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xianxian Gong"
Xianxian Gong's research primarily focuses on materials chemistry, particularly the assembly and behavior of gold nanorods in confined spaces and the interactions of platinum-based anticancer complexes with DNA.
Recent studies have shown that the grafting region of polymeric ligands significantly influences the assembly morphology of gold nanorods, highlighting a transition from dumbbell-like structures to more spherical forms dependent on ligand molecular weight.
Additionally, Gong's work on photoactivatable diazido Pt(iv) anticancer complexes elucidates the formation of multiple platinated oligodeoxynucleotide adducts, which enhances the understanding of their mechanism of action as potential anticancer agents.
