Potassium thiocyanate is a salt that contains potassium and thiocyanate ions. It is a white, crystalline solid with an alkaline pH. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm for potassium thiocyanate has a maximum at a specific concentration, which indicates that the compound has high affinity for water molecules. It also has strong hypoglycemic effects in humans and animals. Potassium thiocyanate can be used to remove hydrogen fluoride from wastewater and it can also be used as an additive in phase transition temperature measurements.

1,2,3,4,5-Pentaphenyl-1'-(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene (Pd(dba)2) is a reagent in the form of a dark brown liquid that can be used to synthesize benzene derivatives. It has been shown to be soluble in chloroform and toluene. This compound is stable at room temperature and it can be eluted with phenyl chloride. Pd(dba)2 is a ligand that binds to the metal palladium in order to facilitate the formation of complex compounds.

D-(-)-3-Phosphoglyceric acid disodium is a homologue of D-glyceric acid and is used in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine. It binds to the active site of phosphatases and prevents them from hydrolyzing phosphate groups, which are critical for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The chemical stability and the availability make this compound an excellent candidate for biochemical studies. D-(-)-3-Phosphoglyceric acid disodium has been shown to be essential in biological function, as it functions as a substrate for many metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway, and fatty acid biosynthesis. The molecule is also involved in a number of biochemical reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes. Mutational studies have shown that organisms without this compound will not survive.

Bis(pentafluorophenyl)zinc (BPFPZn) is a ring-opening polymerization catalyst that is used to synthesize polymers with pendant covalent adducts. BPFPZn has shown synergistic effects when used in combination with lactide, which is a monomer that can be polymerized to form polylactic acid. The reaction system used for the synthesis of BPFPZn and lactide involves nucleophilic attack on the zinc cation by the carbonyl group of lactide, leading to reductive elimination and coordination chemistry. This reaction system has been shown to produce architectures such as block copolymers and star polymers.

Reversible inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDAC) that causes histone hyperacetylation, changes in chromatin structure and in gene expression. Sodium butyrate was shown to induce apoptosis in adenoma and carcinoma cell lines as well as to stimulate neurogenesis following cerebral ischemic injury. Sodium butyrate is present in large bowel as naturally occurring fatty acid and a by-product of bacterial fermentation of dietary fibres.

Bis(2,2'-bipyridine)-4'-methyl-4-carboxybipyridine-ruthenium N-succinimidyl ester-bis(hexafluorophosphate) is a molecule that inhibits the activity of matrix metalloproteinases. It binds to the active site of the enzyme and blocks its activity. This drug has been shown to be effective in inhibiting the activity of MMPs in cells, but not in tissue culture because it does not cross cell membranes. Bis(2,2'-bipyridine)-4'-methyl-4-carboxybipyridine-ruthenium N-succinimidyl ester-bis(hexafluorophosphate) has also been shown to have a low detection limit and can detect low levels of matrix metalloproteinase activity in cells.
