A Quantitative Determination of the Osmium Tetroxide-lipoprotein Interaction
The investigation of the fine structure of biological material by means of the electron microscope has depended, to a very large extent, on the deposition of osmium compounds within the tissue during treatment with a buffered osmium tetroxide solution, and the value of such treatment in the fixing of structure and enhancement of contrast is well accepted. Since electron microscopic observations...
متن کاملOsmium tetroxide: a new kind of weapon.
OsO4 is a powerful oxidizer. It affects mainly the skin and mucous membranes. Although unsuitable for a large-scale terrorist attack, mainly due to its scarcity, it could be used in small-scale attacks. The small quantity contained in a vial would cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat and skin. Combining the agent with an explosive material will probably destroy most of it, chemically. Thu...
متن کاملOxidation of tertiary silanes by osmium tetroxide.
In the presence of an excess of pyridine ligand L, osmium tetroxide oxidizes tertiary silanes (Et(3)SiH, (i)Pr(3)SiH, Ph(3)SiH, or PhMe(2)SiH) to the corresponding silanols. With L = 4-tert-butylpyridine ((t)Bupy), OsO(4)((t)Bupy) oxidizes Et(3)SiH and PhMe(2)SiH to yield 100 +/- 2% of silanol and the structurally characterized osmium(VI) mu-oxo dimer [OsO(2)((t)Bupy)(2)](2)(mu-O)(2) (1a). With...
متن کاملIsolation of disaturated phosphatidylcholine with osmium tetroxide.
A simple, rapid, inexpensive method for isolating disaturated phosphatidylcholine from adult rat lung has been devised. Total lipids are reacted with osmium tetroxide dissolved in carbon tetrachloride, and the disaturated phosphatidylcholine is isolated on a column of neutral alumina. More than 99% of the fatty acids in the phosphatidylcholine fraction are saturated and 94% of this material mig...
متن کاملAnalytical Methods for the Detection of Osmium Tetroxide: A Review
A strong oxidizer, osmium tetroxide (OsO4) is a highly toxic and irritative species. Its volatility enhances the risk of intoxication by inhalation in areas with poor ventilation. Osmium tetroxide attacks mainly skin, mucous membranes, nose, and eyes at very low concentrations. These are the main reasons why osmium tetroxide may be abused as a chemical weapon in public areas with limited air ci...
