New silica supported Schiff base ligands were prepared by the condensation reaction of 4,6-diacetylresorcinol with silica-gel derivatives, which modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and N-(2-aminoethyl) -3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. Metal ion uptake capacities of these compounds were studied towards of selected transition metal (Cd(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Pb(II) and Ni(II)) cations...

The synthesis of five homoleptic transition metal complexes of bis-(phenyl)-diisoindol-aza-methene is described together with the optical, electrochemical and thermal properties of these compounds. Additionally, crystal structures for the Co and the Zn complex are reported.

Transition-metal complexes of 3-hydroxyflavothiones have been prepared and structurally characterized; the photochemical properties of these complexes have been examined and are discussed in the context of the use of these compounds as photodegradable pesticides.

Three novel polyoxoanion-supported compounds modified by conjugated organic ligand tris(2-benzimidazylmethyl)amine (NTB) and nickel ions, [Ni(NTB)(H2O)]2(H2P2Mo5O23)·9.25H2O (1), [Ni(H2O)(NTB)]2(PMoMo(V)O40)·4.5H2O (2) and [Ni(NTB)]2(Mo8O26)·9H2O (3), have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions at different pH values. The compounds 1-3 contain similar rigid concave surfaces...

This chapter will focus on the formation processes and fate of the more common methylated metals and metalloids in the aquatic environment, focusing on both the ocean and freshwa‐ ter ecosystems. In addition to the formation of the methylated compounds, the biotic and abiotic degradation of these compounds in the natural environment will also be discussed. The formation pathways and the microbe...

In typical catalytic organic transformations, transition metals in catalytically active complexes are present in their most stable valence states, such as palladium(0) and (II). However, some dimeric monovalent metal complexes can be stabilized by auxiliary ligands to form diamagnetic compounds with metal-metal bonding interactions. These diamagnetic compounds can act as catalysts while retaini...

background: combination of glycation and oxidation is associated with diabetes mellitus. the aim of this study was to clarify the effect of glycated proteins in presence of transition metal ions on production of reactive oxygen species (ros) in rat hepatocyte suspension.  methods: glycated albumin was prepared by incubation of bovine serum albumin with 100 mm glucose in 0.3 m phosphate buffer a...
