Transition metal complexes attract continuous research interest as potential antitumor agents. The most popular compounds are ruthenium, gold, titanium, osmium, iridium, zinc, and palladium complexes, which have already displayed cytotoxic features that are not typical for classical platinum-containing chemotherapeutic agents. Substantially lower attention is drawn to organometallic compounds of rhenium. However, the known examples of cytotoxic organometallic rhenium derivatives with bidentate heterocyclic, organophosphorus, labile alkoxide, and hydroxide ligands render further studies in this field very promising. As for their analogs with multidentate ligands, a literature survey has revealed only a few examples of cytotoxic rhenium complexes, whereas the antitumor activity of cyclometallated derivatives has not been studied at all. At the same time, it is known that the use of pincer-type ligands having specific tridentate monoanionic frameworks, which offer multiple options for directed structural modifications, allows one to finely tune the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of the resulting metal complexes. Therefore, we synthesized and studied the cytotoxic properties of a series of rhenium(I) complexes with tridentate pincer-type ligands based on functionalized carboxamides bearing ancillary donor groups both in the acid and amine components. It was shown that the target complexes can be obtained not only by the conventional solution-based method, but also under solvent-free conditions according to the solid-phase methodology recently developed in our group. The results obtained were used to define the main structure–activity relationships for a principally new class of potential antitumor agents and to choose the most promising compounds for further studies in order to create new pharmaceuticals.

Porous semiconductors represent a relatively new class of materials formed by the selective etching of a single or polycrystalline substrate. Although porous silicon has received considerable attention due to its novel optical properties1, porous layers can be formed in other semiconductors such as GaAs and GaP. These materials are characterised by very high surface area and by electrical, optical and chemical properties that may differ considerably from bulk. The properties depend on the pore morphology, which can be controlled by adjusting the processing conditions and the dopant concentration. A number of novel structures can be fabricated using selective etching. For example, self-supporting membranes can be made by growing pores through a wafer, films with modulated pore structure can be fabricated by varying the applied potential during growth, composite structures can be prepared by depositing a second phase into the pores and silicon-on-insulator structures can be formed by oxidising a buried porous layer. In all these applications the ability to grow nanostructures controllably is critical.

In neurons, the microtubule associated protein, tau, is found in the axons. Tau stabilizes the microtubules required for neurotransmitter transport to the axonal terminal. Since tau has been found in both Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) and in paired helical filaments (PHF), the study of tau's normal structure had to preceed TEM studies of NFT and PHF. The structure of tau was first studied by ultracentrifugation. This work suggested that it was a rod shaped molecule with an axial ratio of 20:1. More recently, paraciystals of phosphorylated and nonphosphoiylated tau have been reported. Phosphorylated tau was 90-95 nm in length and 3-6 nm in diameter where as nonphosphorylated tau was 69-75 nm in length. A shorter length of 30 nm was reported for undamaged tau indicating that it is an extremely flexible molecule. Tau was also studied in relation to microtubules, and its length was found to be 56.1±14.1 nm.
