Eliminating the use of precious metals as cocatalysts and using visible light are two important aspects in the field of photocatalytic H2 evolution with polyoxometalates (POMs) as photosensitizers. Here we...
Four new noble metal-free hybrids are reported with a maximum photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 12245.59 μmol g−1 h−1, which outperform all known polyoxometalate (POM)-based metal–organic photocatalysts.
A selective method for synthesizing (E)-fluorovinyl was developed. Novel acyclic (E)-fluorovinyl versions of neplanocin A were designed and selectively synthesized as potential antiviral agents. The condensation of the bromide 7 with the nucleosidic bases (5-FU, C, A, G) and the deprotection afforded the desired acyclic fluorovinyl nucleosides. The synthesized compounds 11, 12, 13, and 16 were evaluated for their antiviral activity. The guanine derivative 16 showed toxicity-dependent anti-HIV-1 activity in MT-4 cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
