We demonstrated that single-crystalline cobalt monoxide (CoO) hollow spheres and octahedra could be selectively synthesized via thermal decomposition of cobalt(II) acetylacetonate in 1-octadecene solvent in the presence of oleic acid and oleylamine. The morphologies and sizes of as-prepared CoO nanocrystals could be controlled by adjusting the reaction parameters. Cobalt oxide (Co(3)O(4)) hollo...

interactions of cationic tetrakis (n,n´,n´´,n´´´-tetramethyltetra-3,4-pyridinoporphyrazinatocobalt(ii) (co(tmtppa)) with synthetic polynucleotides, poly(a-t), poly(g-c) and calf thymus dna have been characterized in 5 mm phosphate buffer, ph 7.2, by optical absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. the appearance of hypochromicity effect and the red shift in uv-vis spectrum of porphyrazine was ...

Whereas there are hundreds of known iron(II) spin-crossover compounds, only a handful of cobalt(II) spin-crossover compounds have been discovered to date, and hardly an in depth study on any of them exists. This review begins with an introduction into the theoretical aspects to be considered when discussing spin-crossover compounds in general and cobalt(II) systems in particular. It is followed...

A novel thiosemicarbazone from 2-acetonaphthone (represented as acnTSC) has been synthesized and its basic coordination chemistry with zinc(II), cobalt(II), and copper(II) explored. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and various spectroscopic techniques and are best formulated as [M(acnTSC)(2)Cl(2)] with the metal likely in an octahedral environment. The anticancer activity ...

The 5/6(th) nephrectomy or ablation/infarction (A/I) preparation has been used as a classic model of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We observed increased kidney oxygen consumption (Q(O2)) and altered renal hemodynamics in the A/I kidney that were normalized after combined angiotensin II (ANG II) blockade. Studies suggest hypoxia inducible factor as a protective influence in A/I. We induced hypox...

Metal complexes of 2,5-dicarboxamidopyrroles and 2,5-dicarbothioamidopyrroles have been structurally characterised for the first time, complementing the significant amount of work that has been reported for the analogous pyridine ligands. N,N'-Bis(3,5-dinitrophenyl)-3,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dicarboxamide forms octahedral bis(tridentate) complexes with cobalt(III) and nickel(II), where the li...

In this research work, activated carbon prepared locally from Thespesia Populnea bark(TPC) was examined for the removal of cobalt (II) from aqueous solution. The main parameters, like effect of adsorbent dosage, Co (II) concentrations, effect of contact time and effect of pH was studied in batch experiments. The experimental results were analyzed by using Langmuir, Freundlich, adsorption isothe...
