In a neutral aqueous environment, a new ratiometric Cd2+ fluorescent sensor 1a can successfully discriminate Cd2+ from Zn2+ by undergoing two different internal charge transfer (ICT) processes, and the high selectivity of sensor 1a to Cd2+ over some other metals was also observed. Moreover, through structure derivation and a series of NMR studies, the unique role of the 2-picolyl group (the par...

In this work, two Schiff base ligands Z2a and Z2b derived from 5-aminoisophthalic acid were synthesized their structures characterized by FTIR, 1H(13C) NMR mass spectrometries. The compounds investigated for chemosensor properties towards metal ions [Na+, K+, Al3+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ Pb2+] examined using colorimetric spectrophotometric methods (UV-Vis absorptio...

A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection method for environmental copper ions (Cu2+) was developed according to the vibrational spectral change of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra indicated that DDTC formed a complex with Cu2+, showing a prominent peak at ~450 nm. We found Raman spectral changes in DDTC ...

Cadmium (Cd2+) is a known carcinogen that inactivates the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) pathway. In this study, we have tested the effect of Cd2+ exposure on the enzymatic activity of the mismatch binding complex MSH2-MSH6. Our results indicate that Cd2+ is highly inhibitory to the ATP binding and hydrolysis activities of MSH2-MSH6, and less inhibitory to its DNA mismatch binding activity. The inhi...

a sensitive and simple method for simultaneous preconcentration of trace heavy metal ions in some cerealand vegetable samples has been reported. the method is based on the adsorption of cu2+, fe3+, zn2+ and pb2+on 2-(2-nitro-phenylazo)-naphthalen-1-ol (npn) loaded on activated carbon (ac). the adsorbed metals onactivated carbon were eluted using 3 ml 4 mol l−1 nitric acid. the influences of the...

1-(4-tert-butylphenyl)4-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)carbonylthiosemicarbazide (OBS) and was synthesized by reaction of 4-tert-Butylbenzoic hydrazide with 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylisothiocyanate. The influence many metal cations on the spectroscopic properties compound investigated in dmso-water (1:1) means emission spectrometry.The a series ions including Cu2+,Co2+ , Al3+,Cr3+,Fe3+, Pb2+, Ni2+, Cd...

The Nanmushu Zn–Pb deposit is a large-scale and representative in the Mayuan ore field on northern margin of Yangtze Block. This study investigates trace element geochemistry sphalerite from this using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). results show that main elements include various elements, such as Mn, Fe, Cu, Ga, Ge, Ag, Cd, Pb, Co, Hg, Tl, In, Sn, Sb. ...
