TL;DR: In this article, a TD-DFT-based protocol was used to simulate the Cl K-edge spectra of a series of metal tetrachloride complexes and the influence of the chosen density functional, relativistics, basis set, and solvation has been systematically investigated, showing that good agreement between the calculated spectra and the relative experimental energies and intensities can be achieved by using the BP86 functional with standard polarized triple-ζ basis sets (such as the TZVP basis of Ahlrichs and co-workers).

TL;DR: In this article, a selective reduction has been proposed to activate the prodrugs by formation of active species, which react with the target more readily and lead ultimately to apoptosis, and the electrochemical behavior of platinum(IV) and ruthenium(III) cytotoxins and the establishment of preliminary structure-property relationships are therefore of current importance.

TL;DR: In this article, the basic principles of photoinduced absorption spectroscopy were explained using the example of electron injection and recombination in dye-sensitized TiO2 in the absence of redox electrolyte.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a non-injecting reference film and a simple stretched exponential fitting procedure with only two fitting parameters to resolve electron injection half-times down to 60ps resolution, which provides a potentially cheaper and experimentally easier approach to monitor such dynamics compared to more widely used ultrafast pump/probe laser spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Conditions which alter ferritin pore structure/function in solution, coupled with the high evolutionary conservation of the pore gates, suggest the presence of molecular regulators in vivo that recognize the por gates and hold them either closed or open, depending on biological iron need.

TL;DR: In this paper, new aromatic dithiophosphinic acid (R2PS2H; DPAH) derivatives were isolated using a synthetic pathway based on nucleophilic addition at phosphorus, which leads to regiospecific aromatic substituents on phosphorus.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D infinite polymeric networks are formed via extensive hydrogen bonding interactions involving all coordinated and crystallization water molecules, and all dipicolinate oxygens, thus contributing to additional stabilization of metal-organic chains and 2D layers.
