Efficient radiosynthesis of a [18F]-phosphonium salt containing closo-carborane
Published 2017-11-15An efficient synthesis of an 18F-labelled phosphonium salt containing closo-carborane is described. The preparation of this salt was attempted using both single-step and two-step protocols, with greater success found for ...Open AccessArticle -
Site-specific synthesis of a hybrid boron-graphene salt
Published 2016-01-01We report the first example of an ionic graphene salt containing boron. An anionic charge is introduced to the graphene surface by means of 7,8-nido-[C2B9H11]− carborane clusters covalently and electronically bound to the ...Open AccessArticle -
Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence studies of a bromine-labelled cyclic RGD peptide interacting with individual tumor cells
Published 2013-01-01The first example of synchrotron X-ray fluorescence imaging of cultured mammalian cells in cyclic peptide research is reported. The study reports the first quantitative analysis of the incorporation of a bromine-labelled ...Open AccessArticle -
Supramolecular beta-cyclodextrin adducts of boron-rich DNA metallointercalators containing dicarba-closo-dodecaborane
Published 2013-08-28A chiral, isomeric series of novel boron-rich PtII metallointercalators ([PtL2(phen)](NO3)2: L = (x)-(1,y-closo-carboran-1-yl)pyrid-z-ylmethanol: x = R, S; y = 7, 12; z = 3, 4) wre prepared and fully characterized. By means ...Open AccessArticle -
Improved contrast of Acid Fuchsin stain using UV fluorescence microscopy
Published 2019-12-01Acid Fuchsin (AF) stain is used for the detection of plant pathogenic nematodes within host roots under light microscopy. Nematodes within host roots appear magenta in colour due to the stain penetrating the impermeable ...Open AccessReport, Technical
