Lithium bistrimethylsilylamide is also called lithium hexamethylsilylamide (LiHMDS). Lithium bistrimethylsilylamide can be used to prepare low-coordination metal complexes because the ligand (TMS) 2N- has a large steric hindrance. Such examples are M[N(TMS)2]3 (M=Sc,Ti,V,Fe; TMS=(CH3)3SCh...
However, there is not enough evidence that they can cross the blood–testis barrier. Of note, the majority of nanoparticles have low direct toxicity to the testis, but there are indications that some might act as endocrine disruptors. Overall, the impact on spermatogenesis in adults is generally...
Moreover, the interaction of a ligand with its receptor has been related to self-assembly. The morphology of molecular assemblies produced by enzyme instructed assembly of small molecules is crucially dependent on ligand–receptor interactions. For example, it has been indicated that the ligand–...
Metallacarboranes are 3-dimensional cluster compounds that in general can exist in a number of isomeric forms which cannot always be distinguished spectroscopically, in which case crystallographic study is the essential experimental technique [4]. A good example concerns the icosahedral metallacarborane...
