This is a multipoint kinetic method for simultaneously determining acetoacetate (AcAc) plus beta-hydroxybutyrate and lactate plus pyruvate in a single cuvette of the Multistat III centrifugal analyzer. In the first step, AcAc and pyruvate are completely reduced, using 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.30) and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) in the presence of excess NADH at pH 7.5, ...

Biscyclometalated iridium(III) complexes with an ancillary acetylacetone ligand, Ir(L)(2)(acac), (L = 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)pyridine (btp), 1-phenylisoquinoline (piq), 2-phenylbenzothiazole (bt), 2-phenylpyridine (ppy), acac = deprotonated acetylacetone), demonstrate spectroscopic changes in their UV-Vis absorption and luminescent emission under acidic conditions. Such changes were found to ...

The synthesis and characterization of tri- and tetrametaphosphate titanium(IV) oxo and peroxo complexes is described. Addition of 0.5 equiv of [OTi(acac)2]2 to dihydrogen tetrametaphosphate ([P4O12H2]2-) and monohydrogen trimetaphosphate ([P3O9H]2-) provided a bis(μ2,κ2,κ2) tetrametaphosphate titanyl dimer, [OTiP4O12]24- (1; 70% yield), and a trimetaphosphate titanyl acetylacetonate complex, [O...

We report the formation mechanism of FePt nanoparticles (NPs) by a high temperature polyol method using an equimolar ratio of Fe and Pt-precursor with different Pt-precursors. Pt(acac)2, PtCl2, PtCl4 and H2PtCl6·H2O were used as Pt-precursors and Fe(acac)3 as the only Fe-precursor. Different stoichiometric compositions along with variation in size were obtained by using different precursors of ...

Dinuclear compounds [L2Ru(μ-E)RuL2](n) where L is acetylacetonate (acac(-), 2,4-pentanedionate), 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), or 2-phenylazopyridine (pap) and EH4 is ellagic acid, an antioxidative bis-catechol natural product, were studied by voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical techniques (UV-vis-NIR and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)). The electronic structures of the isolated forms (NBu4...

A series of pentanuclear Ln(III) clusters, [Ln5(μ4-OH)(μ3-OH)4(L1)(acac)6] (H4L1 = p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene; acac = acetylacetonate; Ln = Dy, Ho, Er) and [Ln5(μ5-OH)(μ3-OH)4(L1)(L2)2(acac)2(CH3OH)2] (H3L2 = 5,11,17,23-tetrakis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-25,26,27-trihydroxy-28-methoxy thiacalix[4]arene; Ln = Dy, Ho, Er), have been synthesized based on the thiacalix[4]arene ligand. All of these comp...

LITTLE, JOHN R., MASAI-URO GOTO, AND JOHN J. SPITZER. E$ect of ketones on metabolism of FFA by dog myocurdium and skeletal muscle in Go. Am. J. Physiol. 219(5): 1458-1463. 1970.-The uptake of P-hydroxybutyrate (p-OHB), acetoacetate (AcAc), and free fatty acids (FFA) by the myocardium and the thigh skeIeta1 muscle of mongrel dogs was measured under control conditions and during the infusion of N...

Ketones (principally β-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate (AcAc)) are an important alternative fuel to glucose for the human brain, but their utilisation by the brain remains poorly understood. Our objective was to use positron emission tomography (PET) to assess the impact of diet-induced moderate ketosis on cerebral metabolic rate of acetoacetate (CMRa) and glucose (CMRglc) in healthy adults. T...

Results on the autooxidative decomposition of the transition metal B-diketonates (1-3) suggested the possibility of these chelates acting as initiators for the radical polymerization of vinyl monomers. Research in this field soon revealed the importance of the central metal atom as well as the ligand structure (4-10). Of a series of metal acetylacetonate~-Mn(Acac)~, M n ( A ~ a c ) ~ , Fe( A ~ ...

The hydroformylation of 1-hexene with 12 bar 1 : H2/CO in the presence catalytic system [Rh(acac)(CO)2]/PPh3 was successfully studied by real-time multinuclear high-resolution FlowNMR spectroscopy at 50 °C.
