  • Electrochemical illumination of thienyl and ferrocenyl chromium(0) Fischer carbene complexes
    Van der Westhuizen, Belinda; Swarts, Pieter J.; Strydom, Ian; Liles, David C.; Fernandez, Israel; Swarts, Jannie C.; Bezuidenhout, Daniela Ina (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-02-05)
    A series of ferrocenyl and thienyl mono- and biscarbene chromium(0) complexes 1–6 were synthesised. The complexes were characterised both spectroscopically and electrochemically, and the single crystal X-ray structure ...
  • Determination of the mercury content of lichens and comparison to atmospheric mercury levels in the South African highveld region
    True, Andreas; Panichev, Nickolay; Okonkwo, Jonathan; Forbes, Patricia B.C. (NACA, 2012-06)
    The concentration of mercury vapour in ambient air is routinely determined using specialised instruments. As an economical alternative, actively pumped Hopcalite sorbent tubes can be used to trap atmospheric mercury, which ...
  • 3,6-Diazaoctane-1,8-diaminium diiodide
    Cukrowski, Ignacy; Adeyinka, Adedapo S.; Liles, David C. (International Union of Crystallography, 2012-07-02)
    The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C6H20N4 2+ 2I , comprises half a 3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-diaminium dication plus an I anion. The dications are symmetrical and lie across crystallographic centres of inversion. In ...
  • 2,200-(Piperazine-1,4-diyl)diethanaminium dibenzoate
    Cukrowski, Ignacy; Adeyinka, Adedapo S.; Liles, David C. (International Union of Crystallography, 2012-07-02)
    The asymmetric unit of the title salt C8H22N4 2+2C7H5O2 , comprises two independent pairs of half a 2,2'-(piperazine-1,4- diyl)diethanaminium dication plus a benzoate anion. The dications are symmetrical and lie across ...
  • Enzymatic modification of 2,6-dimethoxyphenol for the synthesis of dimers with high antioxidant capacity
    Adelakun, Oluyemisi E.; Kudanga, Tukayi; Green, Ivan R.; Le Roes-Hill, Marilize; Burton, Stephanie G. (Elsevier, 2012-12)
    2,6-Dimethoxyphenol is a phenolic compound that is extensively used for the measurement of laccase activity, but is often not exploited for its potential as an antioxidant compound. Since laccase can be used to modify ...
