Laboratorium für Anorganische Chemie der Universität Bayreuth, Postfach 101251, D-8580 Bayreuth Z. Naturforsch. 42b, 703-706 (1987); received January 15, 1987 Reverse 2D 'H{N} NMR Spectra, Phosphane Complexes, Inorganic Ring System PS2N3, X-Ray The inorganic ring system RPNSNSNH linked to the [Cr(CO)5] fragment [R = T3u (1), NH2 (2)], has been studied by reverse two-dimensional, 2D , 'H{N} NMR ...

Complexation reactions of environmentally important inorganic anions such as nitrate, chloride, sulfate, arsenate, and phosphate on the surface of hydrotalcite-like compounds (HT) were investigated to understand the role of HT in the immobilization of hazardous anions in an alkaline environment. The effects of surface complexation reactions on the solid state properties of HT were also evaluate...

Trace metals such as mercury, especially its organic compounds, are an important risk to the environment and to man due to their accumulation in the food chain. For this reason, the routine determination of the very toxic methylmercury, and of other organic and inorganic mercury compounds in marine and land animals, vegetables, fruits and fresh water is of increasing importance in health and en...

Exposure of Escherichia coli or mammalian cells to H2O2 results in cell death due to iron-mediated DNA damage. Since selenium compounds have been examined for their ability to act as antioxidants to neutralize radical species, and inorganic selenium compounds are used to supplement protein mixes, infant formula, and animal feed, determining the effect of these compounds on DNA damage under cond...

background and objectives: azotobacter is a diazotroph bacterium reported to possess various plant growth-promoting characteristics.the aim of this study was to isolate azotobacter strains capable of fixing nitrogen and effectively hydrolyzing both organic and inorganic pi compounds. materials and methods: in this study, soil samples collected from a diverse range of slightly alkaline soil type...

Sour cherry cv. Marasca is Dalmatian cultivar from XVI century. Cultivation is limited on the north and central part of Dalmatia and on the part of the islands, where it achieves the best quality of fruit, high content of dry matter and sugar respectively, agreeable aroma and intense color. Sour cherry cv. Marasca is source of biologically active ingredients, organic and inorganic compounds, di...

Measurements of a suite of individual NOy components were carried out at Halley station in coastal Antarctica as part of the CHABLIS campaign (Chemistry of the Antarctic Boundary Layer and the Interface with Snow). Conincident measurements cover over half a year, from austral winter 2004 through to austral summer 2005. Results show clear dominance of organic NOy compounds (PAN and MeONO2) durin...

The phosphoric acid compounds of the blood may be divided into three groups: protein, lipoid, and acid-soluble (1, 2, 3, 4). In the last are included those compounds that are not precipitated with the proteins and lipoids when the blood is treated with the usual acid protein precipitants. In plasma, this acid-soluble phosphorus seems to consist almost entirely of inorganic phosphate (3, 4, 5, 6...
