A Dalton Transactions article on carbon monoxide releasing molecules based on rhenium has been highlighted by Chemistry World:
Vitamin scaffold turns silent killer into a healing hero
A way to deliver carbon monoxide into the body safely for therapeutic use has been devised by scientists from Switzerland.
Fabio Zobi and colleagues from the University of Zurich attached a vitamin B12 scaffold to carbon monoxide-releasing rhenium complexes to increase their biocompatibility. Read the rest of the news story on the Chemistry World website…
