    Notes: Summary Esorubicin (4′-deoxydoxorubicin, DxDx) has undergone extensive Phase II investigation for the treatment of cancer. Based on in vitro and animal data, esorubicin may possess less myocardial toxicity when compared to doxorubicin. One hundred thirty-six patients with histologically or cytologically documented non-small cell lung cancer or advanced breast cancer were enrolled in two concurrent CALGB clinical trials using esorubicin at a dose of 30 mg/m2 administered intravenously every 21 days. No patient had previously received an anthracycline agent or had evidence of severe cardiovascular disease. Cardiotoxicity was observed in eleven patients. Four patients developed symptoms of congestive heart failure and three asymptomatic patients had a significant fall in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as measured by gated pool heart scan. Four patients had cardiac signs or symptoms of indeterminate relationship to esorubicin therapy. Of 44 patients receiving more than four cycles of therapy, 36 patients (82%) had serial gated pool heart scans permitting assessment of subclinical myocardial toxicity. A 5% drop in LVEF was observed following approximately 240 mg/m2 esorubicin; a 10% drop was observed after approximately 480 mg/m2. If further clinical studies are undertaken with esorubicin, investigators are advised to monitor cardiac function frequently once the cumulative esorubicin dose exceeds 240 mg/m2. If congestive failure appears during therapy, prompt cessation of esorubicin and institution of inotropic agents may provide effective palliation. Normal myocardial function may be restored within several months.

    Notes: The electrochemical oxidation of zirconium and hafnium double-deckers M(P)2 (M=Zr, Hf; P=OEP, TPP) (Scheme 1)2) leads to mono- and dications which show near infrared absorption bands which are of ≈ 2000 cm-1 higher energy than those of the corresponding cerium double-decker cations. [Zr(OEP)2]X, [Zr(OEP)2]X2, and [Zr(TPP)2]X (X=ClO4- and PF6-) are isolated after electrochemical oxidation and are characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. Magnetic susceptibility measurements (2 K 〈 T 〈 300 K) of the solids confirm the strong coupling of the electron spins in the diamagnetic dication salt [Zr(OEP)2][ClO4]2. The molecular structure of Zr(OEP)2 is elucidated by an X-ray structural analysis.

    Notes: The synthesis of new zirconium and hafnium bisporphyrinate double deckers M(P)2 (M=Zr, Hf; P=OEP, TPP)2,3) is described. The complexes are characterized by UV/Vis/NIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. As compared with M=Ce, the redox potentials or the energies of the nearinfrared absorption bands of the corresponding radical cations [M(P)2]+ are lower by ≍ 0.2 V or higher by ≍ 2000 cm-1, respectively, Hence, there is a stronger π-π interaction between the porphyrin ligands as compared with the cerium analogues due to the smaller ionic radii of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV). X-ray crystallography of Zr(TPP)2 confirms the sandwich-like structure of the compound and the close proximity of the porphyrin ligands.
