[Ru-NO] complexes: Nano-structuration and shaping
The use of RuNO complexes in biological tissues raises the delicate question of their form (molecules dispersed in solution, grafted onto nanoparticles, dendrimers or polymers,…
Mechanochemistry for conquering the impossible
Since the 2000’s a lot of regulations for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries have appeared especially in terms of efficiency, waste management and energy input. All these issues are now addressed and termed « Green Chemistry »
[Ru-NO] complexes: Irradiation at 1 photon or at 2 photons
The release of NO from [Ru-NO] is regarded as a property of the excited state, following absorption that can be achieved with 1 photon (OPA) or 2 photons (TPA)
NO photo-release in ruthenium nitrosyl complexes / nano-objects
Nitric oxide (NO) is now recognized for its implications in numerous biological mechanisms, including the fight against cancer and bacteria…
Photo-induced isomerization in ruthenium nitrosyl complexes Ru-NO / Ru-ON commutation
Obtaining materials with an atom or molecule that can be switched into two distinct states can generate storage capacities comparable to those of the DNA molecule, i.e. of the order of a terabyte/cm3.
Applications in the field of health
Given the difficulties encountered by conventional antibiotics in treating certain infections, particularly those caused by biofilms, there is an urgent need to develop new therapies to combat antimicrobial resistance.
