    Inventors: William F. DeGrado, Nicholas Polizzi
  • Patent number: 11117911
    Abstract: High-potential photo-oxidants are provided with a supermolecule structure at least including a conjugated macrocycle linked to a metal complex. The conjugated macrocycle is electron-accepting relative to hydrogen or bears electron withdrawing substituents such as fluoroalkyl, fluoroaryl, fluoro, halo, cyano, or nitro. The metal complex is also electron-accepting relative to hydrogen or bears electron withdrawing substituents such as fluoroalkyl, fluoroaryl, fluoro, halo, cyano, or nitro. The linker can be thynyl, vinyl, thiophenyl, diethynylaryl, divinylaryl, diethynyl(unsaturated heterocycloalkenyl), divinyl(unsaturated heterocycloalkenyl), diethynyl(unsaturated heterocycloalkynyl), or divynyl(unsaturated heterocycloalkynyl). A specific implementation is an ethyne-bridged eDef-Rutpy-(porphinato)Zn(II) (eDef-RuPZn) supermolecule.

  • Publication number: 20080033977
    Abstract: A method includes receiving data from a user indicating a selection of a procedure, automatically selecting at least one template to implement the procedure, and extracting table structure information related to the procedure from a database management system dictionary. The method further includes manipulating the table structure information and automatically incorporating the manipulated table structure information into the at least one template to generate a modified template.
