Article Abstract
Sulfur-based molecules producing self-assembled monolayers on gold surfaces have long since become relevant functional molecular materials with many applications in biosensing, electronics, and nanotechnology. Among the various sulfur-containing molecules, the possibility to anchor a chiral sulfoxide to a metal surface has been scarcely investigated, despite this class of molecules being of great importance as ligands and catalysts. In this work, ()-(+)-methyl -tolyl sulfoxide was deposited on Au(111) and investigated by means of photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The interaction with Au(111) leads to a partial dissociation of the adsorbate due to S-CH bond cleavage. The observed kinetics support the hypotheses that ()-(+)-methyl -tolyl sulfoxide adsorbs on Au(111) in two different adsorption arrangements endowed with different adsorption and reaction activation energies. The kinetic parameters related to the adsorption/desorption and reaction of the molecule on the Au(111) surface have been estimated.

Altering the mobile phase composition to enhance self-disproportionation of enantiomers in achiral chromatography.

The influence of mobile phase composition on the efficiency of enantiomer separation by achiral chromatography (ACh) was investigated. The separation was induced by the phenomenon of self-disproportionation of enantiomers (SDE) triggered by their homo and hetero-chiral interactions in an achiral environment. Typically, SDE occurs in apolar mobile phases of weak elution strength, which causes the separation time to extend and the process productivity to deteriorate.

The spatiotemporal control over the drug's action offered by ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes by the selective activation of the prodrug inside the tumor has beaconed toward much-desired selectivity issues in cancer chemotherapy. The photocaging of anticancer bioactive ligands attached synergistically with cytotoxic Ru(II) polypyridyl cores and selective release thereof in cancer cells are a promising modality for more effective drug action. Diallyl sulfide (DAS) naturally found in garlic has anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities.

A bulky, tridentate phenolate ligand (Im NNO ) was used to synthesise the first example of a mononuclear, facial, N,N,O-bound iron(II) benzoylformate complex, [Fe(Im NNO )(BF)] (2). The X-ray crystal structure of 2 reveals that the iron centre is pentacoordinate (τ=0.5), with a vacant site located cis to the bidentate BF ligand.
