Effects of magnesium chloride on the contractile response of uterus to several agonists in Ca-free solution
1987
Abstract The effects of MgCl2 on the oestrogen-dominated rat uterus have been examined. Tissues were preincubated in a Ca2+- and Mg2+-free medium containing 3 mM EDTA. Most experiments were subsequently performed in a similar medium containing either no EDTA or EDTA (1 mM). When MgCl2 was added cumulatively (1–32 mM) no contractile responses were obtained in Ca,Mg-free medium or in Ca,Mg-free high K+ solution. When 2 mM CaCl2 as added, a sustained contraction was obtained. Subsequent addition of cumulative concentrations of MgCl2 caused concentration-dependent relaxation. Oxytocin, 2 μM, produced a small and sustained contraction in a Ca,Mg-free medium. Addition of MgCl2, 2 mM, increased th…
Vanadium catalysts for ethylene-norbornene copolymerization
2020
Kopolimery cyklicznych olefin (COCs) stanowią obiecującą grupę materiałów o specyficznych, możliwych do zaprojektowania właściwościach. Szczególnym zainteresowaniem w tej grupie związków cieszą się kopolimery etylenu z norbornenem. Do ich syntezy stosuje się różnorodne kompleksy metali przejściowych, przede wszystkim pierwiastków z grupy 4. Artykuł stanowi przegląd literatury dotyczącej wykorzystania katalizatorów wanadowych z różnego rodzaju ligandami w syntezie kopolimerów etylenu z norbornenem. Opisano wpływ ligandów i warunków prowadzenia reakcji na aktywność oraz wybrane właściwości otrzymanych kopolimerów.
Impact of Vanadium Complexes with Tetradentate Schiff Base Ligands on the DPPC and EYL Liposome Membranes: EPR Studies
2023
This paper investigates the effect of three vanadium complexes with Schiff base-type tetradentate ligands of general formula N,N′-1,2-cyclohexylenebis(3,5-dichlorosalicylideneiminate) (V1); LVCl2 (L = N,N′-1,2-cyclohexylenebis(5-chlorosalicylideneiminate) (V2); and N,N′-1,3propylenebis (salicylideneiminate) (V3) on the fluidity of liposome membranes obtained by the sonication of natural lecithin (EYL) and synthetic lecithin (DPPC). The study was carried out with TEMPO and 16DOXYL spin probes using the EPR technique. The results show that the effect of the complexes on the fluidity of liposomes whose membranes are in the liquid crystalline phase is much stronger as compared to the liposome m…
Correction: One-pot synthesis of a new generation of hybrid bisphosphonate polyoxometalate gold nanoparticles as antibiofilm agents
2019
A reduced polyoxovanadate functionalized with bisphosphonate molecules was synthesized and used to prepare in one step hybrid organic–inorganic polyoxometalate decorated gold nanoparticles. These new composites were shown to strongly inhibit P. aeruginosa and S. epidermidis biofilm growth, with the three components constituting the nanoparticles (Au0 core, vanadium and alendronate) acting synergistically.
Fundamental limits for transmission modulation in VO2 metasurfaces
2022
The interest in dynamic modulation of light by ultra-thin materials exhibiting insulator–metal phase transition, such as VO 2 , has rapidly grown due to the myriad industrial applications, including smart windows and optical limiters. However, for applications in the telecommunication spectral band, the light modulation through a thin VO 2 film is low due to the presence of strong material loss. Here, we demonstrate tailored nanostructuring of VO 2 to dramatically enhance its transmission modulation, reaching a value as high as 0.73, which is 2 times larger than the previous modulation achieved. The resulting designs, including free-topology optimization, demonstrate the fundamental limit i…
Copolymerization of ethylene with higher 1-olefins over vanadium catalyst supported on Al(i-Bu)3 modified magnesium carrier
2008
Badano proces kopolimeryzacji etylenu z wyższymi 1-olefinami (C6-C12) wobec katalizatora wanadowego (VOCl3) immobilizowanego na nośniku magnezowym MgCl2 (THF) 2 modyfikowanym z zastosowaniem Al(i-Bu) 3. W charakterze aktywatora nośnikowego prekatalizatora wanadowego zastosowano Et2AlCl. Stwierdzono, że aktywność takiego układu katalitycznego jest porównywalna z aktywnością katalizatora z prekursorem wanadowym osadzonym na niemodyfikowanym nośniku magnezowym. Zaobserwowano także, że wprowadzenie komonomeru do środowiska reakcji powoduje niewielkie zmniejszenie wydajności procesu w porównaniu z homopolimeryzacją etylenu, postępującą w miarę wzrostu stężenia komonomeru w środowisku reakcji. Do…

2017
The solid and solution state structure of the vanadium(II) N‐ heterocyclic silylene (NHSi) complex, [(SiIPr)V(Cp)2] (1) is reported ( SiIPr: 1,3‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐1,3‐diaza‐2‐silacyclopent‐4‐ en‐2‐ylidene). The electronic structure of 1 is probed using combination of magnetic measurements, EPR spectroscopy and computational studies. The V–Si bond strength and complex forming mechanism between vanadocene and NHSi ligand is elucidated using computational methods. peerReviewed
Naturally Occurring Oxazole Structural Units as Ligands of Vanadium Catalysts for Ethylene-Norbornene (Co)polymerization
2021
1,3-Oxazole and 4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazole are common structural motifs in naturally occurring peptides. A series of vanadium complexes were synthesized using VCl3(THF)3 and methyl substituted (4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)-1,3-oxazoles as ligands and analyzed using NMR and MS methods. The complexes were found to be active catalysts both in ethylene polymerization and ethylene-norbornene copolymerization. The position of methyl substituent in the ligand has considerable impact on the performance of (co)polymerization reaction, as well as on the microstructure, and thus physical properties of the obtained copolymers.
Titanium and Vanadium Catalysts with 2-Hydroxyphenyloxazoline and Oxazine Ligands for Ethylene-Norbornene (co)Polymerization
2019
A series of titanium and vanadium complexes with oxazoline 2-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)phenol (L1), 2-(4-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)phenol (L2), and oxazine 2-(5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazin-2-yl)phenol (L3) ligands were synthesized, and their structures were determined by NMR and MS methods as (L)2MtCl2. The vanadium complexes were found to be highly active in ethylene (7300 kgPE/(molV·
Transition metal complexes of tetradentate and bidentate Schiff bases as catalysts for ethylene polymerization: Effect of transition metal and cocata…
2009
This article compares catalytic performance of ethylene polymerization in similar polymerization conditions of transition metal complexes having two ligands [O,N] (phenoxy-imine) and having one tetradentate ligand [O,N,N,O] (salphen or salen). It is shown that the activity of both complex types as well as the product properties depend in the same way on the type of central metal in the complex and on the cocatalyst used. Although the type of ligand has some effect on the catalyst activity, yet it does not control the properties of the obtained products. The vanadium and zirconium complexes, irrespective of the cocatalyst used, yield linear polyethylene with high molecular weight (a few hund…
