Insecticide residues in cotton soils of Burkina Faso and effects of insecticides on fluctuating asymmetry in honey bees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus).

2011

8 pages; International audience; Four insecticides (acetamiprid, cypermethrin, endosulfan and profenofos) are used quarterly in the cotton-growing areas of Burkina Faso, West Africa. These insecticides were investigated in soils collected from traditionally cultivated and new cotton areas. Also, the effects of insecticide exposure on the developmental instability of honey bees, Apis mellifera, were explored. In soil samples collected three months after insecticide treatments, endosulfan and profenofos concentrations varied in the range of 10-30μgkg(-1) in the traditionally cultivated zones and 10-80μgkg(-1) in the new cotton zones, indicating a pollution of agricultural lands. However, only…

An Inorganic Double Helix Sheathing Alkali Metal Cations: ANb2P2S12(A=K, Rb, Cs), A Series of Thiophosphates Close to the Metal-Nonmetal Boundary-Cha…

2004

The new quaternary niobium thiophosphates ANb 2 P 2 S 1 2 (A=K, Rb, Cs) have been prepared and characterized. The title compounds were synthesized by reacting Nb metal, A 2 S, P 2 S 5 , and S at 600-700°C in evacuated silica tubes. They crystallize as "stuffed" variants of the tetragonal TaPS 6 structure type in the tetragonal space group I42d with eight formula units per unit cell and lattice constants a=15.923(2) and c=13.238(3) A for CsNb 2 P 2 S 1 2 , a= 15.887(3) and c=13.132(3) A for RbNb 2 P 2 S 1 2 , and a=15.850(2) and c= 13.119(3) A for KNb 2 P 2 S 1 2 . Their structures are based on double helices formed from interpenetrating, noninteracting spiral chains of binuclear [Nb 2 S 1 2…

Comprehensive Uranium Thiophosphate Chemistry: Framework Compounds Based on Pseudotetrahedrally Coordinated Central Metal Atoms

2013

The new ternary compounds UP2S6, UP2S7, U(P2S6)2, and U3(PS4)4 were prepared from uranium metal, phosphorus pentasulfide, and sulfur at 700 °C. The crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. UP2S6 (I) crystallizes in the ZrP2S6 structure type [tetragonal, P42/m, a = 6.8058(7) A, c = 9.7597(14) A, Z = 2], which consists of central uranium(IV) atoms coordinated by P2S64– anions (staggered conformation). The anions are two-dimensional connectors for four uranium cations arranged in one plane. The structure of UP2S7 (II) [orthorhombic, Fddd, a = 8.9966(15) A, b = 15.2869(2) A, c = 30.3195(5) A, Z = 16] is closely related to the monoclinic ZrP2S7 structure ty…

K2AuPS4, TI2AuPS4, K2AuAsS4, and KAu5P2S8: Syntheses, structures, and properties of quaternary gold thiophosphate and thioarsenate compounds

1998

The novel compounds K2AuPS4 (1), Tl2AuPS4 (2), K2AuAsS4 (3), and KAu5P2S8 (4) have been synthesized by direct reaction of the elements with a molten alkaline polythiophosphate(arsenate) flux at 550°C. The crystal structures of these compounds have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. 1, 2, and 3 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/m. The structures of 1, 2, and 3 consist of infinite, one-dimensional anionic chains running along the crystallographic b axis. The chains are separated by potassium or thallium ions. Neighbouring Au atoms are bridged by MS43− tetrahedra (M = P, As) in a trans orientation. Compound 4 crystallizes in the space group P21/c. The a…

Cs3UP2S8, a Coordination Polymer Containing the Unprecedented [U=S]2+Sulfidouranium(2+) Moiety

2013

Although terminal chalcogeno ligands are well known for the group 5 and 6 transition metals, they are highly unusual for the oxophilic group 4 metals and unknown so far for the lanthanides or actinides. Cs3UP2S8, is the first actinide compound containing a terminal M=S group. It was synthesized by reacting uranium metal, Cs2S, S, and P2S5 in a 4:1:8:3 ratio at 700 °C in an eutectic LiCl/CsCl mixture. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Cs3UP2S8 crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group R [a = 15.5217(8) A; c = 35.132(2) A, V = 8305.0(8) A3, Z = 18]. The crystal structure is based on a tetrahedral network type, wherein the uranium atoms are…

Pancuronium improves the neuromuscular transmission defect of human organophosphate intoxication.

1990

Two patients with acute severe organophosphate intoxication showed (1) single evoked compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) with repetitive discharges and (2) prominent decremental responses of CMAP with 20 and 50 Hz supramaximal nerve stimulation. Following the intravenous injection of single small doses of pancuronium, marked improvement in these abnormalities occurred and persisted for several hours. We postulate that the physiologic improvement following low-dose pancuronium results from blockade of acetylcholine receptors, especially those located on the terminal axon responsible for antidromic backfiring.

Abstract Reaction of K 2 S 5 with P 4 S 10 and Ti at 450 °C results in the formation of K 4 Ti 2 P 6 S 25 , a new titanium thiophosphate, whose crystal structure was solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2, with the lattice constants a =33.819(7), b =35.508(7), and c =6.251(1) A ( Z =8). The structure contains a layered arrangement of crosslinked quasi-one-dimensional Ti 2 P 6 S 4− 25 chains. The K + ions are situated between the layers. The Ti atoms within the chains are octahedrally coordinated by P 2 S 4− 7 and P 2 S 4− 9 ligands. Reaction of K 2 S with P 4 S 10 , S and Ti at 600 °C results in the formation of K 3 T…
