Seven gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes were synthesized, characterized, and identified as suitable precursors for focused electron beam-induced deposition (FEBID). Several variations on the core Au(NHC)X moiety introduced, that is, of NHC ring (imidazole or triazole), alkyl N-substituents (Me, Et, iPr), ancillary ligand X (Cl, Br, I, CF 3 ). The seven tested FEBID in an on-substra...

Poor partitioning of macromolecules into the holes of holey carbon support grids frequently limits structural determination by single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Here, we present a method to deposit, on gold-coated carbon grids, a self-assembled monolayer whose surface properties can be controlled by chemical modification. We demonstrate the utility of this approach to drive pa...

The growing interest in Ghana’s gold mining sector due to the recent upsurge in the price of gold has impacted greatly on the economy of the country with regard to its revenue generation capacity. There is therefore the need to develop this sector. Hence, any new method which is relatively low cost and has comparable efficiency compared to prevailing conventional methods in delineating new pote...

A mineralogical and mineral chemistry study was carried out in the San Luis Alta telluride-rich gold deposit, mid-south Peru, to contribute towards determining its formation improving ore processing. The mineralization is considered an intrusion-related deposit located Arequipa segment of Coastal Batholith. occurs quartz veins hosted diorites granodiorites from Tiabaya Super-Unit. These are sul...

Ore-reserve estimations of deposits with low mineral concentrations, such as those of copper, gold and tin, are usually made on the assumption that the grades follow a lognormal distribution. Multiple mineralization or reworking of a deposit may have modified the simple distribution expected — producing an overall distribution of grades which can be adequately described by a mixture of lognorma...

Silver Queen mint in central British Columbia, is located approximately 35 kilometres south of Houston and 3 kilometres east of 0wt.n Lake (Figure 2-7-1). Although currently inactive, it was worked briefly in the early 1970s for gold. silver, copper, zinc, lead and cadmium. The deposit is hosted by Cretaceous rocks of the informal Tip Top Hill group (78.322.67 Ma, K-Ar whole rock), with the age...

In 1975, Social Security beneficiaries were given the option of having their monthly benefit payments sent directly to their banks through an electronic funds transfer system. Since then, beneficiaries have been enrolling in this program in rapidly increasing numbers. At the end of 1976, fewer than 5 million beneficiaries--14 percent of the total--were enrolled in the program. By the end of 198...
