Crystal structure of chlorido(2-{1-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)hydrazin-1-ylidene-κN]ethyl}pyridine-κN)(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)rhodium(III) chloride
2015
The title compound, [Rh(η5-C5Me5)Cl(C13H12ClN3)]Cl, is chiral at the metal and crystallizes as a racemate. Upon coordination, the hydrazinylidenepyridine ligand is non-planar, an angle of 54.42 (7)° being observed between the pyridine ring and the aromatic ring of the [2-(4-chlorophenyl)hydrazin-1-ylidene]ethyl group.
Three phenanthroline-metal complexes with topologically similar but geometrically different conformations.
2016
Two out of the three very similar complexes described present twofold symmetry but not the third one, probably by way of a strong intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond disrupting the symmetry, a fact which is analysed in detail.
Crystal structure of bis[2,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-κ2N2,N3]bis(thiocyanato-κS)copper(II)
2016
The structure of the title compound is similar to that of the related complexes [Co(C12H8N4S)2(N3)2] and [Ni(C12H8N4S)2(N3)2] in which the azide ion is substituted by the thiocyanate group. The CuN4S2 octahedron is more distorted than the CoN6 and NiN6 octahedra.
Crystal structure of chlorido(2-{[2-(4-chlorophenyl)hydrazin-1-ylidene-κN1](phenyl)methyl}pyridine-κN)(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium(III) te…
2015
The title compound, [Ir(η5-C5Me5)Cl(C18H14ClN3)]B(C6H5)4, is chiral at the metal center and crystallizes as a racemate. In the cation, the hydrazinylidenepyridine ligand isN,N-coordinated through theN-pyridyl andN-hydrazinylidene groups forming a five-membered metallacycle. An intramolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bond is observed. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically-related cations are connected by C—Cl...π interactions, forming a dimeric structure. The crystal packing is further stabilized by weak interionic C—H...π interactions.
Quantitation of Metal Ions in Archaeological Glass by Abrasive Stripping Square-Wave Voltammetry Using Graphite/Polyester Composite Electrodes
2003
A method for identifying Co, Cu, Sb, Sn, Fe, Zn, and Zr pigments in glasses using square-wave voltammetry as the detection mode is described. It is based on the abrasive attachment of glass microsamples to graphite/polyester composite electrodes. Sample amounts less than 1 μg are used allowing for the study of archaeological samples. In all cases well-defined anodic stripping peaks corresponding to the oxidation of metal deposits generated at potentials ranging from −0.6 to −1.6 V (vs. SCE) are obtained. This response is in agreement with that displayed by the corresponding metal oxides. Quantitative estimates of the relative population of metal ions in glasses are obtained from peak area m…
Embedded-atom calculations of Auger and x-ray photoemission shifts for metallic elements
1982
Change in self-consistent-field energy density-functional calculations are reported for Auger and core-level binding-energy shifts in sp-bonded metals. The basic model, atom in jellium vacancy, gives good agreement with experiment, especially in the Auger case. The chemical and relaxation contributions to the shifts are discussed, and the extra-atomic response is analyzed in detail, both in position and energy space. The adequacy of the "excited-atom" approach to the energy shifts is discussed. Peer reviewed
Quill mites (Acari: Syringophilidae) from Aegithalos caudatus (Passeriformes: Aegithalidae)
2004
Three species of syringophilid mites (Acari: Syringophilidae) were collected from quills of Aegithalos caudatus (Passeriformes: Aegithalidae) in Poland, Picobia caudati sp. n. from body feathers, Dissonus scirpaceus Skoracki, 1999 from rectrices, and Syringophilopsis aegithali Bochkov et al., 2001 from secondaries.
Cytotoxicity of 91 Kenyan indigenous medicinal plants towards human CCRF-CEM leukemia cells.
2015
Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance Plants from Kenyan flora are traditionally used against many ailments, including cancer and related diseases. Cancer is characterized as a condition with complex signs and symptoms. Recently there are recommendations that ethnopharmacological usages such as immune and skin disorders, inflammatory, infectious, parasitic and viral diseases should be taken into account when selecting plants that treat cancer. Aim The present study was aimed at investigating the cytotoxicity of a plethora of 145 plant parts from 91 medicinal plants, most of which are used in the management of cancer and related diseases by different communities in Kenya, against CCRF-CEM …
Ageing behaviour and analytical characterization of the Jatobá resin collected from Hymenaea stigonocarpa Mart.
2009
Abstract This paper reports the results of an analytical study to characterize the trunk resin collected from the Hymenaea stigonocarpa Mart. species from the region of Minas Gerais (Brazil), popularly known as Jatoba resin. Hymenaea resins are reported to have been used in artistic applications such as protective varnishes in polychromed sculptures and paintings. Therefore, the identification of the main chemical changes that take place in the resin when it is prepared as a thin film exposed to atmospheric effects have been considered herein. Changes due to the degradation effect of light have been studied on a series of specimens prepared as a thin films and subjected to accelerated UV li…
Molecular insights into shellac film coats from different aqueous shellac salt solutions and effect on disintegration of enteric-coated soft gelatin …
2014
The purpose of this investigation was to study the effect of using different salts of shellac on the disintegration properties of shellac-based enteric coatings. In the last two decades, shellac has been increasingly used as an aqueous solution for enteric coating purposes, with the ammonium salt being the form typically used. Little investigation has been performed on using other salts, and therefore, this was the focus of our work. Enteric coatings, based on different shellac salts (ammonium, sodium, potassium and composite ammonium-sodium), were applied onto soft gelatin capsules. Disintegration testing of the coated soft gelatin capsules showed that alkali metal salts promote faster dis…
