TL;DR: In this article, a biomimetic model of the enzyme galactose oxidase (GOase) is described as a square-planar compound, which is capable of stoichiometric aerobic oxidation of activated primary alcohols in acetonitrile/water to the corresponding aldehydes.

TL;DR: The new first-row transition-metal compounds with the ligand norharmane showed clear cell growth inhibitory effects in two different cancer cell lines in vitro, with the copper and zinc complexes being the most toxic and in fact almost comparable to cisplatin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of copper(II), Zinc (II), and Cadmium(II) nitrate with 2,4,6-tris(dipyridin-2-ylamino)-1,3,5-triazine (dpyatriz) at elevated temperature and pressure lead to new 1D coordination polymers which exhibit solid-state structures significantly different from those obtained at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

TL;DR: Reedijk et al. as discussed by the authors showed the result of the electrochemical oxidation of a square-planar nickel(II) complex, showing that the metal remains largely unchanged, and the phenoxy ligand is oxidized to the depicted radical cation.

TL;DR: The reaction products of cis-PtCl2(NH)3)2 with several deoxyribonucleotides containing d( ApG) and/or d(GpA) have been studied and the intra-molecular competition between the formation of the d(ApG) or the d-pA chelates could be studied.
