Single crystals of the title compounds, disodium di(cobalt/iron) cobalt tris-(orthovanadate), Na2(Fe/Co)2Co(VO4)3, and disilver di(cobalt/iron) cobalt tris-(orthovanadate), Ag2(Fe/Co)2Co(VO4)3, were grown from a melt consisting of stoichiometric mixtures of three metallic cation precursors and vanadium pentoxide. The difficulty to distinguish between cobalt and iron by using X-ray diffraction a...

Cobalt catalysts supported on γ-alumina, ceria and γ-alumina-ceria, with 10 or 20%wt of cobalt load, prepared by the wet impregnation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM), N2 adsorptiondesorption isotherms (BET/BJH methods), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoemission ...

A method for the colorimetric estimation of manganese by reduction of the phosphomolybdicphosphotungstic acid phenol reagent has been described (Abul-Fadl, 1948). Cobalt was also found to give a similar colour reaction in the presence (but not in the absence) of amino-acids. Conversion of cobalt into the cobaltinitrite did not affect its response to this reaction. As methods for the estimation ...

Cobalt-alkyne complexes are drugs with remarkable cytotoxicity. From the complexes tested up to now we selected the aspirin derivative [2-acetoxy-(2-propynyl)benzoate]hexacarbonyldicobalt (Co-ASS) as the lead compound. To get more insight into the mode of action, we systematically modified the alkyne ligand and determined the cytotoxic properties of the resulting cobalt complexes. Further inves...

The ligands 2-(N-(X-pyridyl)carbamoyl)pyridine (X=2, 3 or 4 for HL1-HL3, respectively) and 2,6-bis(N-(Y-pyridyl)carbamoyl)pyridine (Y=2, 3 or 4 for H2L4-H2L6, respectively) in their mono- and di-deprotonated forms have been used to synthesize kinetically stable cobalt(III) compounds [Co(L1-3)3] (1-3) and Na[Co(L4-6)2] (4-6), respectively. The Co(III) ion is in octahedral environment and is surr...

Nickel sulfide, nickel oxide, cobalt sulfide, and cobalt oxide were shown to be car cinogenic on single intramuscular injection in rats. The sulfide of each metal induced a significantly higher tumor incidence than did its oxide. Comparisons between average latent periods and between measures of tumor progression also indicated that the presence of the sulfide enhances the carcinogenic activity...

Highly active heterogeneous catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitro compounds were made by pyrolysis rice husk waste impregnated with cobalt complexes followed base-treatment. The show high selectivity and broad substrate scope.

AIMS To investigate whether exposure to cobalt in cobalt plants has any measurable effect on the cardiovascular system. METHODS Occupational, cross sectional study, using a self administered questionnaire, blood pressure measurement, electrocardiography, and laboratory tests in which 203 male workers with at least one year of exposure to cobalt and 94 unexposed controls participated. Echocard...
