The oxidation mechanism of boratabenzene was studied. As a model compound the ferrocene analogue (${\eta}^6$-1-Methylboratabenzene)(${\eta}^5$-Pentamethylcyclopentadiennyl)iron 3 was chosen. The complex underwent irreversible oxidation in the presence of ortho proton on the ring and a methyl group on the boron atom in methanol medium. Chemical oxidations with $Hg(OAc)_2$, $HgSO_4$, $Cu(OH)_2$, $AgCF_3SO_3$ or $FeCl_3$ in MeOH gave, via a transition state [3], at first the derivates 6 and 7, which were converted to each 8 and 9.

Purine type compounds has been recently reported to cause the death for lung cancer cell, related to microtubules-targeting agents (MTAs). Therefore it can be used to develop as theranostic radiopharmceuticals in nuclear medicine or gadolinium-based MRI imaging agents by chelate chemistry. In the study, we tried to chemically bind a DOTA chelate on the end of purine compound and obtained a specific conjugate of DOTA-purine for metal coordination. In particular, radiometal like Cu-64, for the development of MRI imaging agents, can be utilized to choice good candidates before the synthesis of gadolinium complexes. By the screening of radioisotope technique, Gd-DOTA-purine type complex was successfully prepared and showed MRI imaging for lung cancer cell into the mouse model.

A new copper(II) complex, Cu(dpb)(NO$_3$)$_2$(H$_2$O) (dpb=2,2'-dipyridylbenzylamine) (1) was synthesized from the reaction of Cu(NO$_3$)$_2$·3H$_2$O and dpb in ethanol solution followed by recrystallization in acetonitrile. The structure of 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The single crystal structure was characterized as follows: space group P2$_1$/c, Z=4, a=12.501(9)$\AA$, b=9.231(10)$\AA$, c=17.119(6)$\AA$, $\alpha$=90$^{\circ}$, $\beta$=107.33(4)$^{\circ}$, $\gamma$=90$^{\circ}$, V=1885.8(2)$\AA^3$, R$_1$=0.0647, $_{w}R$_2$$=0.1866 for 3258 reflections. Compound was a typical paramagnetic copper(II) complex coordinated by 2,2'-dipyridylamine derivative ligand, which was confirmed by EPR, NMR, UV/VIS, and IR spectroscopy.

Two piperazine-templated metal sulfate complexes, $(C_4N_2H_{12})[Ni(H_2O)_6](SO_4)_2$, I and ($C_4N_2H_{12}$) $[Co(H_2O)_6](SO_4)_2$, II, have been synthesized by hydro/solvothermal reactions and their crystal structures analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic system, $P2_1/n$ space group, a=12.920(3), b=10.616(2), $c=13.303(2){\AA}$, ${\beta}=114.09(1)^{\circ}$, Z=4, $R_1=0.030$ for 3683 reflections; II: monoclinic $P2_1/n$, a=12.906(3), b=10.711(2), $c=13.303(2){\AA}$, ${\beta}=114.10(2)^{\circ}$, Z=4, $R_1=0.032$ for 4010 reflections. The crystal structures of the piperazine-templated metal(II) sulfates demonstrate zero-dimensional compound constituted by diprotonated piperazine cations, metal(II) cations and sulfate anions. The structures of complex I and II are substantially isostructural to that of the previously reported our piperazine-templated copper(II) sulfate complex $(C_4N_2H_{12})[Cu(H_2O)_6](SO_4)_2$. The central metal(II) atoms are coordinated by six water molecules in the octahedral geometry. The crystal structures are stabilized by three-dimensional networks of the $O_{water}-H{\cdots}O_{sulfate}$ and $N_{pip}-H{\cdots}O_{sulfate}$ hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and sulfate anions and protonated piperazine cations. Based on the results of thermal analysis, the thermal decomposition reactions of the complex I was analyzed to have three distinctive stages whereas the complex II proceed through several stages.

Protocatechualdehyde (PA) is phenolic compound having antioxidative and antitumor activities. PA was purified from supernatant of Streptomyces lincolnensis M-20. In the presence of copper ion, PA acted as pro-oxidant. The antioxidant activity was assessed with the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, and the pro-oxidant effect of PA on DNA damage as pBR322 plasmid DNA-cleaving agents in the presence of Cu(II) ions was investigated. The involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the DNA damage was confirmed by the inhibition of the DNA breakage by using glutathione (GSH), specific scavenger of ROS. When the increase in ROS reaches a certain level (the toxic threshold), it may trigger cell death. The formation of the PA/Cu(II) chelate complex was confirmed by reaction with ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA), a well-known chelating agent for metal ions, by using UV/Vis spectroscopic analysis.

Polyimide (PI) surface modification was carried out by ion-beam treatment and silane-imidazole coupling agent to improve the adhesion between polyimide film and copper. Silane-imidazole coupling agent contains imidazole functional groups for the formation of a complex with copper metal through a coordination bonding and methoxy silane groups for the formation of siloxane polymers. The PI film surface was first treated by argon (Ar)/oxygen ($O_2$) ion-beam, followed by dipping it into a modified silane-imidazole coupling agent solution. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra revealed that the $Ar/O_2$ plasma treatment formed oxygen functional groups such as hydroxyl and carbonyl groups on the polyimide film surface and confirmed that the PI surface was modified by a coupling reaction with imidazole-silane coupling agent. Adhesion between copper and the treated PI film by ion-beam and coupling agent was superior to that with untreated PI film. In addition, adhesion of PI film treated by an $Ar/O_2$ plasma to copper was better than that of PI film treated by a coupling agent. The peeled-off layers from the copper-PI film joint were completely different in chemical composition each other. The layer of PI film side showed similar C1s, N1s, O1s spectra to the original Upilex-S and no Si and Cu atoms appeared. On the other hand the layer of copper side showed different C1s and N1s spectra from the original PI film and many Si and Cu atoms appeared. This indicates that the failure occurs at an interface between the imidazole-silane and PI film layers rather than within the PI layers.
