Inorganic complexes, potentially important

However, these compounds and the fragments are not without their intrinsic problems and should not be used as is. Some examples of potentially problematic compounds include those with chemically reactive groups, dyes, and fluorescent compounds which interfere with assays, frequent hitters/promiscuous binders, and inorganic complexes (55). It is important, then, to a priori filter out such compounds or reagents which are practically useless from a drug discovery point of view. 

It is important to note that these are rules-of-thumb and exceptions do occur. Another aspect of selectivity is ion exclusion. Large organic ions or inorganic complexes can be excluded from the resin pore structure. Obviously, the smaller the pore size, the larger the potential for this effect. 

The reaction is potentially important because the complex absorbs significantly above 300nm and CuCO is the major inorganic copper complex in seawater (12). Cu(I) production was extremely slow, negligible in sunlight and probably not significant in the environment. The low quantum yield may 1 due to back reaction of Cu with CO-, although addition of 10 mol L 2-propanol to react with the CO radical did not lead to an increase In rate. 

Because of the large number and complexity of the functions of metal ions in physiological systems, the applications of complexes of both essential and unnatural metal ions for medical purposes are expected to expand dramatically in the next decade. It is hoped that this book will help to attract more inorganic chemists to this field, to provide the expertise in coordination chemistry needed for the achievement of significant new developments in this potentially important area of medicine. 

Both photosensitized reacticms and heterogeneous photocatalysis have been the focus of many studies and reviews for the degradation of organic and inorganic species in natural terrestrial surface water. This review will discuss their potential importance in the atmosphere for two distinct cases — photochemistry of mineral dust (which contains oxides able to initiate photocatalysis) and organic or carbonaceous aerosols (which contain aromatic compounds or humic like substances able to act as photosensitizers). Additionally, direct photochemistry of unconventional precursors, i.e., iron-dicarboxylic acid anionic complexes, will also be dealt with.
