Half-metallicity combined with wide half-metallic gap, unique ferromagnetic character and high Curie temperature has become a key driving force to develop next-generation spintronic devices. In previous studies, such half-metallicity always occurred under certain manipulation. Here, we, via examining a series of two-dimensional transition-metal trichlorides, evidenced that TiCl3 and VCl3 sheets...

The ability of antimony and antimony-containing parasiticidal agents to enhance the rate of heme degradation in liver and kidney was investigated. Trivalent antimony was shown to be an extremely potent inducer of heme oxygenase, the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in heme degradation, in both organs, whereas the pentavalent form was a weak inducer of this enzyme. The ability of antimony to ind...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether antimony may be detected in the urine during infancy and early childhood and its association with passive exposure to tobacco smoke, as assessed by urinary cotinine. DESIGN Analysis of spare aliquots of urine collected from infants participating in studies of respiratory function and passive smoking. Urinary antimony was assayed using inductively coupled plasma ...

TiCl3 and NH3 form octaammine titanium(III) chloride ammonia (1/6), [Ti(NH3)8]Cl3·6NH3, which is the first structurally characterized octaammine complex of a transition metal. An excess of TiCl3 reacts with UF4 in liquid NH3 and forms octaammine fluorido uranium(IV) chloride ammonia (1/3.5), [UF(NH3)8]Cl3·3.5NH3. It shows a distorted threefold-capped trigonal-prismatic coordination sphere aroun...

Visceral leishmaniasis is one of the most important sever diseases in tropical and subtropical countries. In the present study the effects of antimony sulfide nanoparticles on Leishmania infantum in vitro were evaluated. Antimony sulfide NPs (Sb(2)S(5)) were synthesized by biological method from Serratia marcescens bacteria. Then the cytotoxicity effects of different concentrations (5, 10, 25, ...

Oesophageal pH monitoring data are influenced by numerous patient or technique related factors, or both. In this study, data recorded with glass microelectrodes or antimony electrodes, both with external cutaneous Ag/AgCl reference electrodes, connected to two different recording devices are compared. Pearson correlation coefficients regarding the reflux index (% of the investigation time with ...

This paper deals with a new method for the estimation of vitamin A in blood serum based on the new calorimetric reaction between vitamin A and activated glycerol dichlorohydrin (GDH) . Most of the available methods for estimating vitamin A in blood serum depend upon the antimony trichloride reaction (l-6). The drawbacks to this reaction are that (1) the color is unstable and must be read within...

The method of electrophilic intramolecular cyclization is widely used for the synthesis condensed thienopyrimidine derivatives. In this work, regioselectivity process terminally substituted allylic derivatives, but-1-enyl and propargyl thioethers with p-methoxyphenyltellurttrichloride was investigated.
 It established that as a result tellurium-induced butenyl 5,6-dimethyl-3-phenylthieno[2...
