Highly selective chemical sensing in a luminescent nanoporous magnet.

2012

Among the wide variety of properties of interest that a given material can exhibit, luminescence is attracting an increasing attention due to its potential application in optical devices for lighting equipment and optical storage, [ 1a − c] optical switching, [ 1d ,e] and sensing. [ 1f − i ] At this respect, many scientists, working in the multidisciplinary fi eld of the materials science, have directed their efforts to the obtention of luminescent materials with potential sensing applications. For instance, sensitive and selective detection of gas and vapor phase analytes can result specially interesting because of the variety of applications that can be found in many different fi elds.

Mn(II) complexes of scorpiand-like ligands. A model for the MnSOD active centre with high in vitro and in vivo activity

2015

Manganese complexes of polyamines consisting of an aza-pyridinophane macrocyclic core functionalised with side chains containing quinoline or pyridine units have been characterised by a variety of solution techniques and single crystal x-ray diffraction. Some of these compounds have proved to display interesting antioxidant capabilities in vitro and in vivo in prokaryotic (bacteria) and eukaryotic (yeast and fish embryo) organisms. In particular, the Mn complex of the ligand containing a 4-quinoline group in its side arm which, as it happens in the MnSOD enzymes, has a water molecule coordinated to the metal ion that shows the lowest toxicity and highest functional efficiency both in vitro …

Flow-injection analysis study of the chemiluminescent behaviour of proflavine and acriflavine

2001

Abstract The chemiluminescent behaviour of the amino acridines like acriflavine, and proflavin is reported. Different strong oxidants (potassium permanganate, cerium(IV), hexacyanoferrate(III), hydrogen peroxide in different media) were tested, and potassium permanganate in sulphuric acid medium was selected. The study of the experimental parameters affecting the oxidation and detection was performed with the aid of a FIA assembly. The calibration graph was applied over the range 0.05–12.0 μg ml −1 of acriflavine (regression coefficient 0.9957, and the calculated relative standard deviation (R.S.D., %) was 0.9; LOD 10 ng ml −1 and the sample throughput 48 h −1 . The study of interfering com…

FIA-fluorimetric determination of adrenaline by oxidation with a solid-phase reactor of manganese dioxide incorporated in polyester resin beads

1995

Abstract The FIA-spectrofluorimetric determination of adrenaline was carried out by reaction of the drug with manganese dioxide entrapped in a polymeric material in a solid-phase reactor; the oxidized drug was monitored fluorimetrically at 540 nm (Ioxg. 330.0 nm). The calibration graph for adrenaline was linear over the range 0.5 - 20 μg ml−1 with a relative standard deviation of 2.0% (at 5 ug ml−1) and the sample throughput of 65 h−1. The influence of foreign compounds was studied and the method was applied to the determination of adrenaline content in a pharmaceutical formulation . ∗Present address: Institut of Chemistry, Warsawa University, Bialystok Branch, Bialystok, Poland.

Direct flow injection chemiluminescence determination of salicylamide

1999

Abstract A new direct flow injection chemiluminescence method is proposed for the determination of salicylamide, based upon the oxidation of the drug by potassium permanganate in dilute sulphuric acid. The calibration graph is linear over the range 20 ng ml−1 (30 limit of detection)–8 μg ml−1 salicylamide, with a relative standard deviation (n=50, 0.5 μg ml−1) of 1.7%. The average sample insertion rate is 142 h−1. The influence of relevant foreign compounds is found to be relatively slight. The method is applied to the determination of salicylamide in a pharmaceutical formulation and human urine.

Purpose The removal of excessive melanin pigments that obscure ocular tissue morphology is important to address scientific questions and for differential diagnosis of ocular tumours based on histology. Thus, the goal of the present study was to establish an effective and fast melanin bleaching method for paraffin and frozen mouse and human ocular tissues. Methods Paraffin-embedded and frozen ocular specimens from mice and human donors were subjected to bleaching employing two methods. The first employed potassium permanganate (KMnO4) with oxalic acid, and the second 10% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). To determine optimal bleaching conditions, depigmentation was carried out at various incubation …

A novel method for determination of inorganic polyphosphates using the fluorescent dye fura-2.

1997

A method for determining inorganic polyphosphate, which is based on the Mn2+-induced quenching of the fluorescence of the calcium indicator fura-2, is described. The effect of Mn2+ ions on fura-2 fluorescence is gradually abolished in the presence of increasing concentrations of polyphosphate; this allows the quantification both of synthetic polyphosphates and of the naturally occurring polymer isolated from tissues or cells. The described method has some advantages compared to conventional procedures for detection of polyphosphates based on the metachromatic effect on toluidine blue. It can be applied for the determination of pyrophosphate, tripolyphosphate and other short-chain polyphosph…

FeOOH and Mn8O10Cl3modified zeolites for As(V) removal in aqueous medium

2017

BACKGROUND Arsenic in drinking water poses serious potential health risks in more than 30 countries with total affected population of around 100 million people. The present study is devoted to the development of innovative sorbents based on zeolite materials for As(V) sorption by modifying raw materials with iron oxyhydroxide and manganese oxychloride. Natural clinoptilolite and synthetic zeolite A were modified in order to obtain improved sorption of As(V). Sorption properties of newly developed sorbents were studied. Zeolites containing natural clinoptilolite are chosen due to relatively low cost and their broad use in industrial production as well as characteristic large surface area. RE…

Synthesis and host properties of tetragonal Li2Mn2O4 and Li2Co0.4Mn1.6O4

2000

Abstract This paper presents synthesis and electrochemical properties of tetragonal lithium manganese dioxide, Li2Mn2O4 and its cobalt doped analogue Li2Co0.4Mn1.6O4. The materials are compared as host materials for lithium insertion and the behavior during the initial lithium extraction as well as on repeated cycling is presented. These materials show an initial lithium extraction capacity between 200 and 270 mAh/g. On repeated cycling, they are converted into spinel-like lattices with reversible capacities in the range 82–90 mAh/g. As they are chemically compatible with the manganese spinel, they will be well suited as additives compensating for the capacity loss during the initial formin…
