Prior investigations from this laboratory concerned with the preparation of new types of organic cations for a variety of biological and nonbiological applications have been extended to the preparation of cation-bearing ligands with nitrogen coordinating sites for use in complexation reactions with ruthenium cores. The syntheses of new cationic ligands as well as ruthenium complexes bearing them are reported here. The introduction of these new types of ligands is intended to provide to the complexes an enhanced ability to interact with DNA, and thereby to have the potential to be enhanced antitumor agents. Preliminary observations of their interactions with DNA are presented.

[BPy]HSO4 was prepared and used as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the one-pot three-component synthesis of α-aminophosphonates at room temperature under solvent-free conditions with good-to-excellent yields. The workup procedure is very simple, and the catalyst can be reused at least four times without any loss in catalytic activity.

A convenient and microwave-promoted novel protocol for the syntheses of diverse kinds of substituted benzopyrans from the corresponding variety of substituted hydroxy acetophenones and keto compounds using benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (Triton-B) under solvent-free conditions has been developed. This protocol is mild and efficient than the other reported methods.

Copper biogeochemistry is controlled by bonding to natural organic matter. The soluble forms of bonded copper can be more biologically active due to the higher migration in environmental systems and instability of some copper-humic complexes. In this work, the interactions of copper(II) ions with humic acids are studied by means of high-resolution ultrasound spectrometry. It was found that the stoichiometry of the formed complexes is strongly influenced by the organization of humic acid in solution and by the final pH value in equilibrium. Although the ratio between the added copper and humic acids in all used concentrations was constant and the initial pH value was neutral, we observed significant differences between the individual systems. The highest binding ability was determined for a humic content of 0.5 g·dm−3. More diluted and more concentrated systems were able to bind lower amounts of copper. The implemented method is very sensitive and can be utilized not only for monitoring copper binding but also as an indicator of conformational changes of humic acid in solutions with varying concentration.
