    • Diimidazolium Halobismuthates [Dim]2[Bi2X10] (X = Cl–, Br–, or I–): A New Class of Thermochromic and Photoluminescent Materials 

      García-Fernández, Alberto; Marcos-Cives, Ismael; Platas-Iglesias, Carlos; Castro-García, Socorro; Vázquez, Digna; Fernández, Alberto; Sánchez-Andújar, Manuel (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-06-12)
      [Abstract] We present a novel family of polyhalide salts of Bi(III) with the general formula [Dim]2[Bi2X10], where Dim2+ is the diimidazolium cation (C9H14N4)2+ and X is Cl–, Br–, or I–. Single-phase materials are easily ...

    • Evaluation of the in Vitro and in Vivo Efficacy of Ruthenium Polypyridyl Compounds Against Breast Cancer 

      Lenis Rojas, Óscar; Roma-Rodrigues, Catarina; Fernandes, Alexandra R.; Carvalho, Andreia; Cordeiro, Sandra; Guerra-Varela, Jorge; Sánchez, Laura; Vázquez, Digna; López-Torres, Margarita; Fernández, Alberto; Fernández, Jesús J. (MDPI, 2021-08-18)
      [Abstract] The clinical success of cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin has sparked the interest of medicinal inorganic chemistry to synthesize and study compounds with non-platinum metal centers. Despite Ru(II)–polypyridyl ...

    • Half-Sandwich Ru(p-cymene) Compounds with Diphosphanes: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation As Potential Anticancer Metallodrugs 

      Lenis Rojas, Óscar; Robalo, M. Paula; Tomaz, A. I.; Fernandes, Alexandra; Roma-Rodrigues, Catarina; Teixeira, Ricardo Gonçalves; Marques, Fernanda; Folgueira, Mónica; Yáñez, Julián; Alba-González, Anabel; Salamini-Montemurri, Martín; Pech-Puch, Dawrin; Vázquez, Digna; López-Torres, Margarita; Fernández, Alberto; Fernández Sánchez, Jesús José (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2021-02-11)
      [Abstract] Ruthenium(II) complexes are currently considered attractive alternatives to the widely used platinum-based drugs. We present herein the synthesis and characterization of half-sandwich ruthenium compounds formulated ...

    • Preparation and Characterization of Terdentate [C,N,N] Acetophenone and Acetylpyridine Hydrazone Platinacycles: A DFT Insight Into the Reaction Mechanism 

      Marcos-Cives, Ismael; Ojea, Vicente; Vázquez, Digna; Fernández Sánchez, Jesús José; Fernández, Alberto; López-Torres, Margarita; Lado Sanjurjo, Jorge; Vila, José (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-11-13)
      [Abstract] The reaction of N-ortho-chlorophenyl-substituted acetylpyridine hydrazones (a and d) with K2[PtCl4] (n-butanol/water, 100 °C) gave mononuclear complexes 1a and 1d with the ligands as [N,N] bidentate. In contrast, ...

    • RuII(p-cymene) Compounds as Effective and Selective Anticancer Candidates with No Toxicity in Vivo 

      Lenis Rojas, Óscar; Robalo, M. Paula; Tomaz, A. I.; Carvalho, Andreia; Fernandes, Alexandra; Marques, Fernanda; Folgueira, Mónica; Yáñez, Julián; Vázquez, Digna; López-Torres, Margarita; Fernández, Alberto; Fernández Sánchez, Jesús José (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-10-19)
      [Abstract] Ruthenium(II) complexes are currently considered a viable alternative to the widely used platinum complexes as efficient anticancer agents. We herein present the synthesis and characterization of half-sandwich ...

    • Student-Generated Videos to Promote Understanding of Chemical Reactions 

      Fernández, Alberto; López-Torres, Margarita; Fernández Sánchez, Jesús José; Vázquez, Digna (ACS, 2023-02-03)
      [Abstract] Students were tasked with the creation of videos of ordinary reactions to promote significant learning of complex concepts underlying chemical transformations. Interactive infographics were used to deliver ...
