A rapid and sensitive method has been developed for the determination of Cobalt(II) based on complexation reaction between the metal ion and 3,4,-dihydroxybenzaldehyde-1-(3Chloro-2-Quinoxalinyl)Hydrazone (DHBCQH) in the presence of non-ionic surfactant Tween-80. The important parameters affecting the analytical procedure were optimized. Absorption maximum for a ternary complex was noted at 450 ...

A new cobalt(III) complex with a pentadentate Schiff base was synthesized using reaction of 2,2′-{(2-hydroxypropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitriloeth-1-yl-1-ylidene)}diphenol (H3L) and cobalt(II) acetate in methanolic solution. This synthesis resulted the isolation dinuclear compound [CoIII2L2] (1), which characterized elemental analyses XRF, FTIR, TG/DSC techniques. The molecular structure confirmed sin...

The complex formation and a liquid-liquid extraction in the cobalt(II) 4-(2thiazolylazo)resorcinol (TAR) 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride (TTC) water chloroform system was studied. The optimum extractionspectrophotometric conditions were found. The molar ratio of the reacting species was determined to be 1:2:1 (Co:TAR:TTC). The following equilibrium processes were quantitatively examined...

Several cobalt complexes catalyze the evolution of hydrogen from acidic solutions, both homogeneously and at electrodes. The detailed molecular mechanisms of these transformations remain unresolved, largely owing to the fact that key reactive intermediates have eluded detection. One method of stabilizing reactive intermediates involves minimizing the overall reaction free-energy change. Here, w...

The effects of methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) injection (75mg kg ) on cobalt levels in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and potential toxic effects of cobalt on human neurons were evaluated. A cohort of ASDs (n1⁄4 72) presenting to the Genetic Centers of America were evaluated for the frequency of methylcobalamin injections and cobalt levels using Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp) test...

In this paper, we used quantum chemical approach to shed light on the catalytic mechanism of γ-carbonic anhydrase (γ-CA) to convert carbon dioxide to bicarbonate ion. Density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP and UB3LYP functional and three split-valance including 6-31G*, 6-311G** and 6-311++G** basis sets were used to calculate the details of electronic structure and electronic energy of act...

A novel photoactive complex was constructed from two non-photoactive ligands and cobalt (II) ions. Upon ultra violet (UV) irradiation (365 nm), the color of complex 1 changes from orange to violet. The ESR spectrum indicates that the photoactive phenomenon of complex 1 originates from an intermolecular energy transfer between the H5DDCPBA ligand and phenanthroline ligand. This photoactive compl...

The electrochemical properties of a new Co(II) deuteroporphyrin substituted by two electropolymerizable pyrrole groups has been investigated in organic solvent. This functionalization has allowed the preparation of the first example of a cobalt deuteroporphyrin film by oxidative electropolymerization. The resulting conducting polypyrrole film exhibits the regular electroactivity of cobalt deute...

Radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate with the addition Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II) 3-allylpentan-2,4-dione chelates was carried out. It is shown that in case cobalt complex, process occurs at rates comparable to those traditional radical initiator, benzoyl peroxide. The resulting polymethyl has large molecular weights and contains fragments β-diketonates polymer, which graft side chains. br...
