Photochemical behavior of Safranine-Riboflavin complex in the degradation of folic acid

Hetero-association models of non-covalent molecular complexation

The present review discusses the current state-of-the-art in building models enabling the description of non-covalent equilibrium complexation of different types of molecules in solution, which results in the formation of supramolecular structures different in length and composition (hetero-association or supramolecular multicomponent co-polymerisation). The description is focused on standard physical and chemical quantities such as experimental observables and equilibrium parameters of interaction (equilibrium constants and concentrations). The major partial cases of the hetero-association models, such as finite and indefinite isodesmic and cooperative complexations, and Benesi-Hildebrand and Langmuir adsorption models are considered. Future challenges in the development of the hetero-association models are provided.

Nickel(ii) riboflavin complex as an efficient nanobiocatalyst for heterogeneous and sustainable oxidation of benzylic alcohols and sulfides

A novel Ni(ii)Rf₂ nanocomplex was prepared, which efficiently oxidizes a wide range of benzyl alcohols and sulfides by employing ideal oxidants in green reaction media.
