Thallium is a naturally occurring trace element, widely distributed in the earth's crust, but at very low concentrations. It does not have a known biological use and does not appear to be an essential element for life. It has been considered one of the most toxic heavy metals.Occasionally, there are reports on thallium poisoning as results of suicide or murder attempt or accident. The main thre...

hallium (Tl) is an inorganic element found in the earth’s crust at concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 0.6 mg⋅kg (NRCC 1982). Thallium is rarely present as large ore deposits, but can be recovered from sulphide ores of lead, copper, and zinc and may also be associated with cadmium, iron, and potassium minerals such as feldspars and micas. Thallium minerals such as crookesite, hutchinsonite, lora...

INTRODUCTION: Thallium is a heavy metal that is used in the manufacture of electronic components, optical lenses, semiconductor materials, alloys, gamma radiation detection equipment, imitation jewelry, artist's paints, low temperature thermometers, and green fireworks. Cigarette smoking is also a source of thallium. After absorption, it gets accumulated in liver and kidney and causes renal and...

Development of promising technologies to remove thallium as a highly poisonous contaminant is great attention guarantee the sustainable supplement safe potable water and human well-being all around world. Recently, adsorption has been introduced noteworthy technique trace amount thallium. In past, rate removal using was relatively low due fact that this method significantly influenced by co-exi...

Abstract Solvent-free copper(I) and thallium(I) compounds of the general formula [M 2 [B 10 H ]] have been synthesized. The identified by IR spectroscopy X-ray diffraction. According to diffraction data, structures both are three-dimensional frameworks. In complex [Cu n , formation three-center M–H–B bonds is observed. compound Tl ], bond between cations anions ionic, which confirmed data. Hirs...

The group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) represent a family of presynaptically expressed G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with enormous therapeutic potential; however, robust cellular assays to study their function have been difficult to develop. We present here a new assay, compatible with traditional high-throughput screening platforms, to detect activity of pharmacological ...
