The tailored synthesis of carbon nitrides (CNs) is of particular interest in multidisciplinary catalytic applications. However, their fabrication in the form of one-dimensional (1D) nanorods for electrocatalytic carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation is not hitherto reported. Herein, a facile roadmap is

A method for noncovalent functionalization of DNA-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using platinum-based DNA cross-linkers is investigated. In particular, cisplatin and potassium tetrachloroplatinate are shown to bind to DNA that encapsulates SWNTs in aqueous solution. The bound platinum salt can

Contact dermatitis, 34(4), 253-257 (1996-04-01)
We report a patient with contact stomatitis due to combined sensitization to palladium and platinum. Patch testing showed strong and persistent allergic patch test reactions to palladium chloride (1% pet.), ammonium tetrachloroplatinate (0.25% pet.), and a palladium metal plate. A

Predictive testing of immunotoxicity associated with chemical compounds is complicated and cannot be accomplished with a single test. As most of the existing tests for immunotoxicity employ experimental animals, there is an increasing need for alternative tests in vitro. We

To investigate the greatest therapeutic efficacy, we investigated the effect of scheduling on the cytotoxic interaction between hyperthermia and seven different platinum complexes in vitro and in vivo using the FSaII murine fibrosarcoma cells. Hyperthermia treatment (43 degrees C, 1
