the activation of carbon monoxide by oxygen on mg(100) surface has been investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps). carbon monoxide is only weakly adsorbed (dispersion-type forces) on a magnesium surface. the xps result has shown that the dissociation of carbon monoxide leading to the formation of a metastable surface carbonate species occurs through the participation of an oxygen s...

The cytotoxic chloroform fraction of Euphorbia aellenii afforded two cycloartane type triterpenes — cycloart-25-en-3,24-diol (1) and 24-methylene-cycloartan-3-ol (2) — for the first time from this plant. Preparation of cycloartane derivatives, 3, 24-O-diacetyl-cycloart-25-en as compound 3 and 3-O-acetyl-24-methylene-cycloartan (4) were conducted by acetylating of 1 and 2, respectively. The ...

Complexes of the type (OCH2C(CH3)2CH2OB)2S2P(S)OR (where R=Me,Et,Pri,Bui,Ph,CH2Ph) have beensynthesized by the reactions of 2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxaborinanes and potassium salt of O-alkyl (O-aryl)trithiophosphates in 2:1 molar ratio in refluxing benzene. The product are formed as white or light yellowcoloured monomeric solid, soluble in common organic solvents and exhibit high sensitivity towardsat...

BACKGROUND Individuals with type O blood are more likely to have reduced factor VIII and von Willebrand factor levels compared to their non-O counterparts. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES), which is widely used for blood volume replacement, can induce coagulopathy. Therefore, we tested whether blood type O patients show more coagulopathy and blood loss than non-O patients after infusion of 6% HES. M...

BACKGROUND Non-O type of ABO blood group has been associated with a predisposition to coronary heart disease. It is thought that this association is partly mediated by increased cholesterol levels in non-O-type individuals. In this study, we sought to estimate the mediation effect size. METHODS AND RESULTS In a group of individuals (n=6476) undergoing coronary angiography, we detected associa...

For the first time, dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex with the general formula [MoO2L2] containing a N-O bidentate ligands (HL=2-(o-aminophenyl)- benzimidazole) has been used for the oxidation of sulfides. Elemental analyses (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen), FT-IR and Uv-Visble spectra and 1HNMR analysis agree well with the proposed stoicheiometry of the complex [MoO...

Introduction: Coarse-grained Ca-Al-rich inclusions (CAIs) are classified into Type A, B and C [1]. Type B and compact Type A CAIs are believed that they were formed from molten drops [2, 3]. On the other hand, fluffy Type A CAIs are believed that they were formed by gas-solid condensation, because of their extremely irregular shapes and reversely-zoned melilite crystals [4]. Recent ion micropro...

biginelli-type pyrimidines contain an interesting moiety which has attracted considerable attention of medicinal chemists in the last few decades. despite the very diverse pharmacologic effects ascribed to this kind of pyrimidines, there are few reports on the antioxidant evaluation of biginelli pyrimidines. in this study synthesis of some novel biginelli-type pyrimidines is reported. the prepa...
