The chemical interactions between thorium(IV) and O2- in the LiF-BeF2 (2 : 1 mol%) (FLiBe) LiF-NaF-KF (46.5 11.5 42 (FLiNaK) molten salt systems were studied at 873 K. precipitation-dissolution behavior of Th(IV) oxide/oxyfluoride species, as well speciation law these species their relationship with oxide concentration fluoride melts, clarified. results showed that FLiBe melt would only produce...

Three families of heterotrimetallic chains (type 1-type 3), with different topologies, have been obtained by reacting the 3d-4f complexes, [{Cu(L(1))}xLn(NO3)3] with x = 1 or 2, formed in situ by the reaction of Schiff-base bi-compartmental [Cu(II)(L(1))] complexes and lanthanide(iii) salts, with (NHBu3)3[M(CN)8] (M = Mo(V), W(V)). For type 1 series of compounds, 1-D coordination polymers, with...

1. The effects of intravenous trithiomolybdate administration on the fate of 64Cu and on stable Cu metabolism were examined in sheep held in metabolism cages and fed on a low-Cu diet supplying 2.95 mg Cu/animal per d. 2. In Expt 1 the injection of trithiomolybdate, 30 mg molybdenum/sheep per d for 5 d, greatly increased plasma Cu levels and more than doubled the faecal Cu excretion. Urinary Cu ...

The well-established killing of bacteria by copper surfaces, also called contact killing, is currently believed to be a combined effect of bacterial contact with the copper surface and the dissolution of copper, resulting in lethal bacterial damage. Iron can similarly be released in ionic form from iron surfaces and would thus be expected to also exhibit contact killing, although essentially no...

To develop a new kind of thermistor with the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behaviour, Cu/Mo co-doped YFeO3 based ceramics were prepared by wet-chemical synthesis and sintering at 1300?C. The orthorhombic perovskite structure was identified in all XRD analysis. possible valence states Fe, Cu Mo doped compounds examined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. By adjusting concentration Cu- Mo-...

We present a new versatile method for the generation of ultra porous noble metal electrodes based on cyclic Pt-Cu electrodeposition and anodic Cu dissolution. Performing this method, electrodes with tailored roughness factors (RF exceeding up to 2031) and thus reaction-specificity can be fabricated. Applied in implantable glucose fuel cells, the novel process enables a by 14 % increased power d...

Upon CO exposure to a Mo( 110) surface at 95 K, the initial ~0.3 monolayer (ML) of CO does not exhibit a vibrational frequency in the 1800-2200 cm-’ region, implying that the C-O axis is tilted with respect to the surface normal. Upon subsequent deposition of = 0.9 ML Cu at 95 Kfollowed by heating, infrared-reflection-adsorption-spectroscopy (IRAS) shows that a portion of the tilted CO molecule...
