Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of conversion constants amongst various reference electrodes reported in the literature reveals that in most cases the comparisons of redox potential values are far from accurate, and therefore, caution should be exercised when one is comparing the redox properties of complexes measured in CH 3 CN solutions versus different reference electrodes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that only ferrocenium species are able to inhibit the growth of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells in vivo and propose that the cytotoxic activity of ferrocium salts is not based on their direct linking to DNA, but on their ability to generate oxygen active species which induce oxidative DNA damage.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the solution and some solid state structures of a series of trifluoromethanesulfonate silver(I) complexes were studied, namely of formula [Ag(O3SCF3)(L)] (L=PPh3, PPh2Me, SC4H8) and [AgLn](CF3SO3) (n=2-4, L=Pph3,PPh2ME), and the solution behavior is as expected for mononuclear silver species, although polynuclear species can not be totally ruled
