Application

Magnetic characteristics were studied of organometallic oxo-vanadium cluster compounds, such as [C5Me5V]4(μ-O)6, which is formed by reduction with sodium mercury amalgam.

Used for:
  • Ionic liquid based sodium ion conducting gel polymer electrolytes
  • Dehalogenation agent for the room-temperature synthesis of carbonaceous films
  • Plant-scaled method for preparation of deuterium-depleted water
  • Investigations of solvent effects on desulfonylation of polyethylene glycol-substituted aryl alkyl sulfones

Catalyst for synthesis of selectively benzylated Me α-D-glucopyranosides

Reagent for reduction of RDX for functionalization for forensic analysis

We report new assays of enzymes uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD) and coproporphyrinogen III oxidase (CPO) in the heme biosynthetic pathway. The assays were developed for use in clinical diagnostics of inherited disorders porphyria cutanea tarda and hereditary coproporphyria, respectively. Electrospray ionization
