A coprecipitation method has been developed for the determination of Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions in aqueous samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) with the combination of pyridine, nickel(II) as a carrier element and potassium thiocyanate as an auxiliary complexing agent. The obtained coprecipitates were dissolved with nitric acid and measure...

a series of schiff bases of ni(ii) and cu(ii) using acetylacetone (acac), salicylaldehyde (sal), ethylenediamine (en), and o-phenylendiarnine (dabe) were prepared and characterized. the electronic spectra of some copper chelates in various organic solvents depend strongly on the solvent used and the d-d band of cu(ii) shifts to red with the increase of the donor number (dn) of solvent. the colo...

Nickel is an essential metal for Helicobacter pylori, as it is the co-factor of two enzymes crucial for colonization, urease and hydrogenase. Nickel is taken up by specific transporters and its intracellular homeostasis depends on nickel-binding proteins to avoid toxicity. Nickel trafficking is controlled by the Ni(II)-dependent transcriptional regulator NikR. In contrast to other NikR proteins...

Nickel is a virulence determinant for the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Indeed, H. pylori possesses two nickel-enzymes that are essential for in vivo colonization, [NiFe] hydrogenase and urease, an abundant virulence factor that contains 24 nickel ions per active complex. Because of these two enzymes, survival of H. pylori relies on an important supply of nickel, implying a tight ...

adverse effects of dental materials, especially metals, have been an important issue in recent decades.the purpose of this study was to determine the amount of nickel released from stainless steel crowns in artificial saliva.in this in-vitro study, 270 stainless steel crowns were divided into five groups, each with nine subgroups. each group (i to v) was comprised of four, five, six, seven and ...

We report on the electrochemical alteration of a nickel(II) bis-glyoximato complex into nickel-based nanoparticles at a glassy carbon electrode under acid reducing conditions. These particles show electrocatalytic activity towards hydrogen production at +410 mV compared to the bare glassy carbon electrode. Mechanistic insights are discussed based on DFT calculations.

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spin trapping was utilized to investigate the generation of free radicals from oxidation of sodium sulfite, nickel(II) sulfite, and nickel subsulfide (Ni3S2) by ambient oxygen or H2O2 at pH 7.4. The spin trap used was 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO). Under ambient oxygen, a solution of sodium sulfite alone generated predominantly sulfur trioxide anion radic...

Two new Ni(II) complexes involving the ancillary ligand bis[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl]amine (bpma) and two different carboxylate ligands, i.e. homophthalate [hph; systematic name: 2-(2-carboxylatophenyl)acetate] and benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate (btc), namely catena-poly[[aqua{bis[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl]amine-κ(3)N,N',N''}nickel(II)]-μ-2-(2-carboxylatophenyl)aceteto-κ(2)O:O'], [Ni(C9H6O4)(C12H13N3)...
