A closed-shell phenalenyl-based dinuclear iron(III) complex as a robust cathode for a one-compartment H2O2 fuel cell
Closed-shell phenalenyl (PLY) systems are increasingly becoming more attractive as building blocks for developing electroactive cathode materials as they have tremendous potential to participate in redox reactions.

Ru(II) based dual nitric oxide donors: electrochemical and photochemical reactivities and vasorelaxant effect with no cytotoxicity
The synthesized complexes, cis-[Ru(NO)(NO2)(phen)2](PF6)2 (NONO2P) and cis-[Ru(NO)(NO2)(bpy)2](PF6)2 (NONO2B), were characterized by using elemental analysis, voltammetry and electronic and vibrational spectroscopy.
