Bis(ferrocenylimine)palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes: synthesis, molecular structures and evaluation as antitumor agents
Motswainyana, William M.; Onani, Martin O.; Madiehe, Abram M. (Elsevier, 2012)Compounds (ferrocenyl-2-furylmethyl)imine (L1), (ferrocenyl-2-thiophenemethyl)imine (L2) and (ferrocenyl-2-thiopheneethyl)imine (L3) were synthesized by condensation reactions and obtained in very good yields. Reactions ... -
Covid-19 and cancer therapy: Interrelationships and management of cancer cases in the era of Covid-19
Mbugua, Simon N.; Njenga, Lydia W.; Onani, Martin O. (Hindawi, 2021)'e COVID-19 global epidemic poses this generation’s biggest worldwide public health challenge probably since the 1918 influenza epidemic. Recent reports on two new variants have triggered a dramatic upsurge in research ... -
Dichlorido-[(2-diphenylphosphino-benzylidene)-2-methylphenylen-amine]palladium( II) acetonitrile monosolvate
Motswainyana, William M.; Onani, Martin O.; Jacobs, Jeroen; van Meervelt, Luc (International Union of Crystallography, 2013)The title imino–phosphine compound, [PdCl2(C26H22NP)] - CH3CN, was prepared by reaction of N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl) benzylidene]-2-methylaniline with dichlorido(cycloocta- 1,5-diene)palladium(II) in dry CH2Cl2. The ... -
Dichlorido-[2-(2,6-diethylphenyl)iminomethylquinoline-N,N’]palladium(II) acetonitrile monosolvate
Motswainyana, William M.; Onani, Martin O.; Jacobs, Jeroen; van Meervelt, Luc (International Union of Crystallography, 2012)The title complex, [PdCl2(C20H20N2)] CH3CN, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-[(2,6-diethylphenyl)iminomethyl]quinoline with dichlorido(cycloocta-1,5-diene)palladium(II) in dry CH2Cl2. The PdII ion is coordinated by ... -
Effect of growth temperature on the structural, optical and luminescence properties of cadmium telluride nanoparticles
Kiprotich, Sharon; Onani, Martin O.; Dejene, Francis B. (Springer, 2018)Cadmium telluride (CdTe) has been successfully prepared by a simple wet chemical process at different reaction temperatures. Temperature is one parameter that thermodynamically plays an important role in controlling the ... -
Imino-phospine palladium (II) and platinum (II) complexes: Synthesis, molecular structures and evaluation as antitumor agents
Motswainyana, William M.; Onani, Martin O.; Madiehe, Abram M.; Saibu, Morounke; Thovhogi, Ntevheleni; Lalancette, Roger A. (Elsevier, 2013)The imino-phosphine ligands L1 and L2 were prepared via condensation reaction of 2-(diphenylphosphino) benzaldehyde with substituted anilines and obtained in very good yields. An equimolar reaction of L1 and L2 with ... -
Imino-quinolyl palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes: synthesis, characterization, molecular structures and cytotoxic effect
Motswainyana, William M.; Onani, Martin O.; Madiehe, Abram M.; Saibu, Morounke; Jacobs, Jeroen; van Meervelt, Luc (Elsevier, 2013)Imino-quinolyl ligands L1-L5 were synthesized by condensation reactions and obtained in good yields. Reactions of the ligands with either PdCl2(cod) or K2[PtCl4] gave the corresponding palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes ... -

Motswainyana, William M.; Onani, Martin O. (Elsevier, 2012)Two new phenylene bridged binuclear bis(imino-quinolyl) palladium (II) complexes were prepared from the reaction of the ligand 1,4-bis(imino-quinolyl)benzene, L1 with either Pd(cod)Cl2 or Pd(cod)ClMe. The molecular structure ... -
One-pot synthesis and characterization of InP/ZnSe semiconductor nanocrystals
Mushonga, Paul; Onani, Martin O.; Madiehe, Abram M.; Meyer, Mervin (Elsevier, 2013)We report on the one-pot synthesis of InP/ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) using a precursor-based colloidal synthesis in a noncoordinating solvent environment. The structural and optical studies were carried out on the as-prepared ...
