Risk stratification for invasive fungal infections in patients with hematological malignancies: SEIFEM recommendations
2016
Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Patients with hematological malignancies undergoing conventional chemotherapy, autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are considered at high risk, and Aspergillus spp. represents the most frequently isolated micro-organisms. In the last years, attention has also been focused on other rare molds (e.g., Zygomycetes, Fusarium spp.) responsible for devastating clinical manifestations. The extensive use of antifungal prophylaxis has reduced the infections from yeasts (e.g., candidemia) even though they are still associated with high mortality rates. This pa…
Identification of magnetic particulates in road dust accumulated on roadside snow using magnetic, geochemical and micro-morphological analyses
2010
The aim of this study is to test the applicability of snow surveying in the collection and detailed characterization of vehicle-derived magnetic particles. Road dust extracted from snow, collected near a busy urban highway and a low traffic road in a rural environment (southern Finland), was studied using magnetic, geochemical and micro-morphological analyses. Significant differences in horizontal distribution of mass specific magnetic susceptibility (χ) were noticed for both roads. Multi-domain (MD) magnetite was identified as the primary magnetic mineral. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses of road dust from both roads revealed: (1) angular-shaped particles (diameter ∼1–300 μm) mo…
Growth and characterisation of MnTe crystals
2001
We report on the low temperature growth of MnTe crystals by means of travelling solution methods. Two different processes are considered; a classical THM process using a low temperature presynthesised MnTe ingot, and a modified THM process, in which an increasing length of solvent zone collects the tellurium that was added to the stoichiometric charge to decrease the reaction temperature. Ingots from the two methods are analysed by means of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, resistivity, susceptibility and optical absorption measurements.
A new approach to the crystal growth of Hg1−xMnxTe by the cold travelling heater method (CTHM)
2001
Abstract In order to obtain crystals with a homogeneous composition and to reduce the Hg high pressure related to the temperature synthesis reaction between the components in elemental form, Hg 1− x Mn x Te bulk crystals were produced by the cold travelling heater method (CTHM). Following the technique initially proposed for the growth of CdHgTe by the Triboulet group, the feed material was a split ingot of two segments, one of HgTe and the other of MnTe, with cross-sectional areas chosen to establish the desired final composition. The growth was carried out at a temperature of 600°C and a rate of 2 mm/h. The Hg 1− x Mn x Te crystals have been characterised by scanning electron microscopy, …
Isolation of Four New CoII/CoIII and NiII Complexes with a Pentadentate Schiff Base Ligand: Syntheses, Structural Descriptions and Magnetic Studies
2011
In this paper we report the temperature and pH dependent syntheses and systematic characterization of four new Co(II)/Co(III) and Ni(II) complexes with a pentadentate Schiff base ligand H(3)L obtained by condensing 1,3,-diaminopropan-2-ol with 2-hydroxyacetophenone in 1:2 molar ratio. The room temperature syntheses involving Co(II) and Ni(II) nitrates and the ligand H(3)L lead to the isolation of the dinuclear species [Co(2)L(2)(H(2)O)] (1), and the mononuclear complex [Ni(LH)] (3), respectively, whereas refluxing at basic pH leads to the tetranuclear complexes, [Co(II)(2)Co(III)(2)L(2)(μ(3)-OMe)(2)(NO(3))(H(2)O)(2)]NO(3)·2(H(2)O) (2), and [Ni(4)L(2)(μ(3)-OMe)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O (4). 1 is…
Rare examples of diphenoxido-bridged trinuclear Ni II 2 Fe III complexes with a reduced salen type Schiff base ligand: Structures and magnetic proper…
2017
Abstract Three new trinuclear hetero-metallic complexes, [(NiLR)2Fe(N3)3] (1), [(NiLR(H2O))2Fe(C6H5CH2CO2)2]·(HSO4) (2) and [(NiLR(H2O))2Fe(C6H5CO2)2]·(HSO4)·(H2O)·(CH2Cl2) (3) have been synthesized using [NiLR] as a “metalloligand” (where H2LR = N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,3-propanediamine). All complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic methods, single crystal XRD and magnetic study. In the angular trinuclear units of 1, the two terminals [NiLR] coordinate through double phenoxido bridges to the central FeIII ion which is penta-coordinated having terminally coordinated azide ion. The two terminal NiII centers are connected to each other and also to neighbouring…
Synthesis and characterization of a novel dicyanamide-bridged Co(II) 1-D coordination polymer with a N 4 -donor Schiff base ligand
2017
The synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of a novel Co(II) 1D coordination polymer, [Co(L)(µ1,5-dca)(ClO4)2·MeOH]n (1) are described. Compound 1 contains two independent cationic Co(II) chains (CoA and CoB) which are parallel to the c direction and present short π-π and C-H⋯π interactions with two neighbouring chains along the b direction, giving rise to alternating layers of chains A and B in the bc plane. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements shows a weak antiferromagnetic coupling among the adjacent cobalt(II) centres mediated through μ1,5-dca− bridge.
Formation of a dinuclear and a trinuclear Ni(II) complex on slight variation of experimental conditions: Structural analysis and magnetic properties
2017
Abstract A diphenoxido bridged dinuclear Ni(II) complex [Ni2L2(NO2)2] (1) and a μ2 and μ3-phenoxido, μ3-hydroxido, and μ2-nitrito (1κO:2κN) bridged trinuclear Ni(II) complex [Ni3L3(OH)(NO2)]·ClO4 (2), have been synthesized using a tridentate reduced Schiff base ligand HL (HL = 2-[(2-dimethylamino-ethylamino)-methyl]-phenol). Both complexes were characterized by X-ray structure determination and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. In both complexes the nickel atoms are six-coordinated with a distorted octahedral environment. The interesting feature of the trimeric complex 2 is that the three mononuclear units are assembled around a μ3-hydroxido ion in such a way that t…

2018
Abstract Based on two functionalized Schiff base ligands 4-(1H-imidazol-5-ylmethylene-amino)-4H-1,2,4-triazole (imztrz) and 4-(p-tolylidene-amino)-4H-1,2,4-triazole (toltrz), a series of three triazole based polynuclear Fe complexes has been prepared. Compounds {[FeII(toltrz)2(C2O4)]·10H2O}n (1) and {[FeII(5-imztrz)(C2O4)]·2H2O}n (2) are oxalate bridged FeII complexes with 1 showing a linear 1D chain structure and 2 exhibiting a zigzag chain based 3D interpenetrating framework. Both structures show rather big voids in the 3D architecture (∼15% of the crystal volume). Compound (5-imztrzH)2[FeIII2(cit4−)2(H2O)2]·6H2O (3) is a binuclear FeIII complex bridging by two citrate ligands to form a f…

2018
Abstract One centrosymmetric dinuclear and two mononuclear iron(III) Schiff base complexes, [(µ-OMe)2Fe2(L1)2(N3)2] (1) {HL1 = 2-((2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)-6-ethoxyphenol}, [FeL2(OH2)(N3)]·CH3OH (2) {H2L2 = N,N′-bis(3-ethoxysalicylidene)propane-1,3-diamine} and [FeL3(OH2)(NCS)]·2H2O (3) {H2L3 = N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)propane-1,3-diamine}, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the structures of all three complexes. Variable temperature (2–300 K) magnetic susceptibility (χ) data of complex 1 show that both iron(III) centres in the complex are in a high spin configuration (S = 5/2)…
