The title complex, [Ni(C(16)H(18)O(2)PS(2))(2)(C(6)H(7)N)(2)], exhibits a roughly octa-hedral coordination geometry. The Ni(II) atom lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by four S atoms of O,O'-diphenethyl dithio-phosphate mol-ecules and two N atoms of 4-methyl-pyridine mol-ecules. Important geometric data include Ni-N = 2.100 (3) Å, and Ni-S = 2.5101 (10) and 2.4772 (11) Å.

Zirconium carbide nanoparticles were produced by wire explosion process by exploding zirconium conductor in methane ambiance. X-ray diffraction studies of the particles produced by wire explosion process confirm the formation of cubic zirconium carbide particles. The results of the study indicates that unreacted zirconium content in the zirconium carbide powder could be reduced by exploding the...

ron phosphate coatings have found a wide range of use in the metalI finishing industry as a convenient method for achieving reasonably high levels of corrosion resistance. Flexibility of processing parameters and ease of use are probably the biggest reasons that iron phosphating enjoys its continued popularity. The corrosion resistance of iron phosphate coatings can be dramatically improved by ...

ofcells to carcinogenic nickel compounds induces many genes that are commonly expressed in cancer cells but not in normal cells. Nickel compounds have been well established as human carcinogens. Investigations into the molecular mechanisms of nickel car-cinogenesis have revealed that not all nickel compounds are equally carcinogenic: certain water-insoluble nickel compounds exhibit potent carci...

In order to control of the calcium phosphate precipitation of Ti in body fluid, which might result in assimilated bone re-facture during removal operation of implanted devices such as femoral nails and bone screws after healing, vacuum vapor deposition of Zr on Ti Substrate was carried out. The calcium phosphate precipitation was evaluated through the immersion test into the Hanks’ solution. Sc...

Metal-Induced Lung Disease: Lessons from Japan’s Experience: Yukinori KUSAKA, et al. Department of Environmental Health, School of Medicine, Fukui Medical University—Metals inducing occupational respiratory diseases, e.g. metal fever, acute and chronic pneumonia, asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer are described. The metals mentioned are the ...

In this paper, a novel technique for fabricating Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) chips for investigating structural and piezoelectric properties of Pulse Laser Deposited (PLD) Lead Zirconium Titanate (PZT) thin films is presented. The method involves silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer technology together with deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and highly selective etchants. This study is uni...

The amorphous ternary metallic alloy Zr60Al15Ni25 was oxidized in dry oxygen in the temperature range 310 ±C to 410 ±C. Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies suggest that during this treatment an amorphous layer of zirconium-aluminum-oxide is formed at the surface. Nickel was depleted in the oxide and enriched in the amorphous alloy n...

The task of developing new powder materials for use in gas-thermal technologies is solved by cladding metal oxide particles with a refractory component. results studies powders domestic production based on aluminum (corundum) and zirconium dioxide subjected to chemical nickel (8 30 %) are presented. morphology, granular phase compositions, as well the distribution elemental composition were stu...
