The reductive coupling of the bridging phosphide and the adjacent [sigma]-alkynyl moieties in [Pt2(mu-P(t)Bu2){mu,eta1:eta2-C(Ph)CH2}(C[triple bond]C-Ph)(CO)(P(t)Bu2H)(Br)] is promoted by bromide abstraction and is reversed by adding N(n)Bu4Br.

Weyl points, as monopoles of Berry curvature in momentum space, have captured much attention recently in various branches of physics. Realizing topological materials that exhibit such nodal points is challenging and indeed, Weyl points have been found experimentally in transition metal arsenide and phosphide and gyroid photonic crystal whose structure is complex. If realizing even the simplest ...

abstract      background and objective: aluminum phosphide (alp) is a solid non-organic phosphide with dark gray or dark yellow crystals. it reacts with stomach acid after ingestion and causes phosphine gas to be released. it is thought that phosphine causes toxicity from enzymatic interference and may even lead to cell death. this study aimed to investigate the effects of poisoning with rice t...

Horse spleen ferritin was found to bind aluminium poorly after equilibrium dialysis with buffered aluminium citrate solutions. Not more than 10 aluminium atoms/ferritin molecule were bound from a 25 microM-aluminium solution, pH 7.4, and the degree of binding was dependent on the method used to prepare the aluminium citrate solution. Up to 120 aluminium atoms/molecule were bound when ferritin i...

Aluminium balance studies were carried out on eight patients with various immunological disorders who were receiving plasma exchange with albumin solutions known to be contaminated with aluminium. Four patients with impaired renal function (creatinine clearance less than 50 ml/min) retained between 60% and 74% of the aluminium infused during a single plasma exchange. Transiliac bone biopsy spec...

It is of burgeoning importance that the human body burden of aluminium is understood and is measured. There are surprisingly few data to describe human excretion of systemic aluminium and almost no reliable data which relate to aluminium in sweat. We have measured the aluminium content of sweat in 20 healthy volunteers following mild exercise. The concentration of aluminium ranged from 329 to 5...

We have experimentally studied the distribution of the spatial extent of modes and the crossover from essentially single-mode to distinctly multimode behavior inside a porous gallium phosphide random laser. This system serves as a paragon for random lasers due to its exemplary high index contrast. In the multimode regime, we observed mode competition. We have measured the distribution of spectr...

BACKGROUND This is the first published assessment on agricultural pesticide use in Iran with the aim to identify pesticide products with a potential of causing acute or chronic hazard to human health. It also establishes a baseline for future comparisons and for trend assessments. METHODS The amounts of imported technical materials for formulation by local manufacturers as well as imported fi...
