Ruthenium forms a pink complex with thiobenzhydrazide in hot 1.0-4.5M hydrochloric acid medium, which can be extracted with chloroform, and the extract shows maximal absorbance at 520 nm. The chloroform-extractable osmium-thiobenzhydrazide complex formed at pH 2.3-4.8 shows maximal absorption at 385 nm as well as at 480-490 nm. The colour of the extracts of both the complexes is stable for more than 24 hr and can be employed for the spectrophotometry of ruthenium and osmium in the presence of a considerable excess of diverse ions commonly associated with them. Ruthenium and osmium can be quantitatively separated from one another with thiobenzhydrazide.

Oxidative cleavage of olefins is a useful reaction in organic synthesis. The most well-known catalytic system is the osmium based Lemieux-Johnson catalyst, which generally requires high catalyst loading and tends to suffer from rapid overoxidation to produce the acid predominantly. Hence, the development of a mild, general, and selective method toward the oxidative cleavage of alkenes to carbonyl compounds is highly desired.

Background: The six Platinum group metal elements (PGEs) comprising Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Platinum, Iridium and Osmium are grouped together in the periodic table. Human activities are mostly responsible for releasing PGEs into the environment. This systematic review focused on three PGEs with the greatest anthropogenic use, including in vehicle catalytic converters: Platinum (Pt), Palladium (Pd), and Rhodium (Rh).

Half-sandwich Ru(II)- and Os(II)-arene complexes have great potential for catalytic and biological applications. The possibility of fine-tuning their chemical reactivity by including modifications in the ligands around the metal adds to their many advantages. However, structural modifications at the η-bound arene have had significant synthetic limitations, particularly in the design of Os(II)-tethered complexes.

Considering the circular economy and environmental protection, sustainable recovery of high-value metals from wastewater has become a prominent concern. Unlike conventional methods featuring extensive chemicals or energy consumption, membrane separation technology plays a crucial role in facilitating the sustainable and efficient recovery of valuable metals from wastewater due to its attractive features. In this review, we first briefly summarize the sustainable supply chain and significance of sustainable recovery of aqueous high-value metals.

The transmembrane protein known as the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) mediates the influx of calcium ions (Ca) into the mitochondrial matrix. An overload of mitochondrial Ca ( Ca) is directly linked to damaging effects in pathological conditions. Therefore, inhibitors of the MCU are important chemical biology tools and therapeutic agents.
