in this study, isophthalic acid-zirconium(iv) nanocomposite has been prepared from zirconyl nitrate pentahydrate and potassium iodide, with isophthalic acid, (c8h6o4=benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid) as a ligand, via sonochemical method in ethylene glycol and methanol as solvents. the crystalline tetragonal zro2 has been produced by thermal decomposition of isophthalic acid-zirconium(iv) nanocompo...

Titanium dioxide is a very attractive material in catalysis. Although the titanium exhibits superior proper-ties ultra violet radiation, activity of catalyst can be improved by some modifications specially for daylight radiation. was colored thermal decomposition sodium borohydride at 400 0C. The gray nanotube-titanium obtained where molar ratio to borohydride, 1.2 and 0.6. black prepared makin...

The potential health hazards of radioelements taken into the body are well known (1, 2). The present study is part of a program designed to test the effect of zirconium and other sahs on the metabolism of long lived radioelements. It has been shown that the early administration of zirconium salts to experimental animals previously injected with plutonium (Pu”~~) and radioyttrium (Ygl) resulted ...

We report that decomposition pathway of Ca(BH4)2 can be efficiently controlled by reaction temperature. That is, it decomposes into CaB6 at a lower temperature range of 320 to 350 °C, but into amorphous boron at 400 to 450 °C. We identified the formation of CaB2H6 as the crucial intermediate step on the way to CaB6 that only forms at 320 to 350 °C.

Dental ceramics represents a major structural material in fixed prosthodontics. Increasing demands for esthetics led to development of new ceramic materials in order to eliminate the use of metal framework and for all ceramic restorations with mechanical properties to withstand high occlusal forces. Out of all the present ceramic materials, zirconium-ceramic has the best mechanical properties, ...

A series of parasubstituted tetraphenylporphyrin zirconium(IV) salicylate complexes (SA/5-SSAZr(IV)RTPP, R = p-H, p-CH3, p-NO2, p-Cl, SA = salicylate, and 5-SSA = 5-sulfosalicylate) have been synthesized, and the spectral properties of free base porphyrins, their corresponding metallated, and axially ligated zirconium(IV) porphyrin compounds were compared with each other. A detailed analysis of...

Introduction Zirconium is a fascinating d-orbital transition metal. It has been widely used for nuclear and chemical applications owing to its low neutron absorption cross-section and its exceptional resistance to corrosion. The study of the fundamental thermodynamic properties of zirconium, such as equation of state (EOS) and phase stability, are very important for a better understanding of it...
