In the title coordination polymer, [Ag(C(10)H(6)NO(2))](n), the Ag(I) cation is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from three 6-quinoline-carboxyl-ate anions in a distorted T-shaped AgNO(2) geometry, in which the O-Ag-O angle is 160.44 (9)°. The 6-quinoline-carboxyl-ate anion bridges three Ag(+) cations, forming a nearly planar polymeric sheet parallel to (101). The distance between Ag(+...

In the title compound, [Ag(NO(3))(C(18)H(14)N(4))](n), the Ag(I) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two N,N'-bis-(3-pyridyl-methyl-idene)benzene-1,4-diamine (bpbd) mol-ecules and two O atoms from a bidentate nitrate anion. The bpbd mol-ecules bridge the Ag atoms into a chain. Two adjacent chains are further connected by Ag⋯Ag inter-actions [3.1631 (8) Å], forming a double-chain structure. ...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ag(3)Cl(C(8)H(15)N(3))(6)]Cl(2), the Ag(I) ion, which is located on a twofold rotation axis, exists in a T-shape coordination environment. Two carbene C atoms of the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are bonded tightly forming a slightly bent [Ag(NHC)(2)](+) cation [C-Ag-C angle = 162.80 (18)°]. Three of these complex cations are further aggre...

In optics, when polychromatic light is filtered by an optical filter, the monochromaticity of the light can be improved. In this work, we reported that Ag dopant atoms could be used as an optical filter for nanosized Mn:ZnSe quantum dots (QDs). If no Ag doping, aqueous Mn:ZnSe QDs have low monochromaticity due to coexisting of strong ZnSe band gap emission, ZnSe trap emission, and Mn dopant emi...

The differential diagnoses for acid-base problems can be reduced to a workable few by using a minimal amount of laboratory data. Following well-established principles and formulas, the presenter will help you resolve common acidbase problem cases. • Identify etiologies of anion gap and non-anion gap acidosis. • Explain the principle of osmolar gap. • Differentiate the causes of acid-base distur...

This study is a preliminary determination of thiamine status in children with diarrhea and metabolic acidosis admitted to hospital. Children with diarrhea (N = 14; age 2 m-6 yr) were divided into 2 groups according to anion gap type; group 1 (21.4%) with a normal anion gap (5.5 +/- 5.2 mmol/l) and group 2 (78.6%) with a wide anion gap (21.2 +/- 5.2 mmol/l). Blood was taken on the day of admissi...

Acute non-anion gap metabolic acidosis, also termed hyperchloremic acidosis, is frequently detected in seriously ill patients. The most common mechanisms leading to this acid-base disorder include loss of large quantities of base secondary to diarrhea and administration of large quantities of chloride-containing solutions in the treatment of hypovolemia and various shock states. The resultant a...

INTRODUCTION It is challenging to diagnose two coexisting medical conditions if the symptoms are overlapping. This is further confounded if the patient presents with an unexplained deterioration in mental status. A low anion gap or a zero anion gap is an uncommon clinical finding and has few differential diagnoses. This test therefore has important implications in correctly identifying underlyi...

M etabolic acidosis is a common acid-base disturbance in hospitalized patients. Distinguishing anion gap from non–anion gap metabolic acidosis is a very helpful exercise and enables the clinician to narrow the etiology of the particular acidosis. The use of the anion gap was popularized in an article by Emmett and Narins (1). Over the past few years, the list of conditions that can cause an ani...

INTRODUCTION 5-oxoproline (pyroglutamic acid), an organic acid intermediate of the gamma-glutamyl cycle, is a rare cause of high anion gap metabolic acidosis. Acetaminophen and several other drugs have been implicated in the development of transient 5-oxoprolinemia in adults. We believe that reporting all cases of 5-oxoprolinemia will contribute to a better understanding of this disease. Here, ...
