Synthesis, crystal structure and Cu2+ recognition of novel azobenzene derivatives
Copper is the third most abundant transition metal following zinc and iron in human bodies and plays a crucial role in many fundamental physiological processes in organisms. However, exposure to a high level of copper even for a short period of time can cause gastrointestinal disturbance, while long-term exposure can cause liver or kidney damage.

Endangered Avian Species Captive Propagation - Free Content
Bird species, like plants and other animals are facing an unprecedented decline. Captive breeding as a conservation tool can be used as a substitute for wild populations in research and education, to provide demographic and genetic reservoirs for reinforcing or founding wild populations, and as a last resort for species that have no immediate opportunity for survival in nature.

Reaction mechanisms for the heterogeneous hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived glycerol to propanediols
Biomass-derived glycerol is emerging as a renewable, cheap and versatile feedstock for the production of a variety of chemicals and fuels. In particular, hydrogenolysis of glycerol to other value-added chemicals over heterogeneous catalysts has been extensively studied in the past few years. The most desired products arising from this process are propanediols, i.e. 1,2-propanediol and 1,3-propanediol.

Platinum anticancer drugs and photochemotherapeutic agents: recent advances and future developments
Platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin are widely applied for the treatment of various types of tumours. Over the last few decades, a large variety of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes have been developed to improve the applicability in a wider spectrum of cancers, increase their therapeutic window and reduce the dose-limiting side effects.
