Sulfonate improves water solubility and cell selective toxicity and alters the lysozyme binding activity of half sandwich Rh(iii) complexes

Introduction of the propyl-sulfonic acid group at N1 of the coordinated 2(pyridyl)benzimidazole ligand (L) in [RhCl(η5-C5Me5)L](CF3SO3) gives rise to a water-soluble complex, which shows comparable antifungal activity to Fluconazole.

Construction of a functionalized hierarchical pore metal–organic framework via a palladium-reduction induced strategy

A simple and efficient method has been developed to synchronously construct hierarchical porosity and functionalization within a sulfonic acid group functionalized microporous MOF via a palladium-reduction induced strategy for the first time.

Chitosan-encapsulated manganese ferrite particles bearing sulfonic acid group catalyzed efficient synthesis of spiro indenoquinoxalines

A simply, highly versatile and efficient synthesis of 5-phenyl-spiro [diindeno pyridineindenoquinoxaline]-diones is achieved through five component one pot reaction of ninhydrin, 1,2-diaminobenzene, 1,3-indandione and anilines.

Sulfonic nucleic acids (SNAs): a new class of substrate mimics for ribonuclease A inhibition

Incorporation of a sulfonic acid group at the 3′-end of pyrimidine nucleosides leads to a new class of RNase A inhibitors: sulfonic nucleic acids.
