Bismuth-thiols as antiseptics for agricultural, industrial and other uses

TL;DR: In this paper, homogeneous microparticulate suspensions are used for treating natural and artificial surfaces that contain bacterial biofilm, including unexpected synergy or enhancing effects between bismuth-thiol (BT) compounds and certain antibiotics, to provide formulations including antiseptic formulations.

Biological evaluation of bismuth non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (BiNSAIDs): Stability, toxicity and uptake in HCT-8 colon cancer cells

TL;DR: NMR spectroscopy of high concentrations of BiNSAIDs indicated that their structural stability and interactions with cell medium components were NSAID specific, and it appears that bismuth uptake is assisted by the NSAID.
Journal ArticleDOI

Luminescent Tris(8-hydroxyquinolates) of Bismuth(III)

TL;DR: Electronic structure DFT calculations support trends seen in the experimental results with a HOMO-LUMO gap of 2.156 eV calculated for the monomer that is significantly larger than those for the dimers.
