The application of voltammetric methods using different rates of polarisation on HMDE reveal inert or labile behaviour of Cd- or Zn- complexes in the presence of excessive cadmium or zinc ions in solution. This phenomenon was demonstrated first on the simplest phytochelatin - complex of peptide (gamma-Glu-Cys)(2) Gly with cadmium, later on rabbit liver metallothioneins - Cd(7) MT in the presenc...

Semiquinone metal complexes derived from the antitumor antibiotic streptonigrin have been prepared for the first time. Ž . Ž . They were obtained by reduction of the zinc II and cadmium II complexes of the parent aminoquinone ligand with sodium borohydride, followed by air oxidation of the intermediate dihydroquinones. Alternatively, N-benzyldihydronicotinamide Ž . reduction was used to produce...

The thermal decomposition of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes of N-ethyl-N-phenyl and N-butyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamates have been studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The products of the decomposition, at two different temperatures, were further characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy ...

The methods of polarographic analysis have been applied to the study of dilute aqueous solutions of various divalent transition metal cations coordinated to p-toluenesulfonyl glycine. Metal cations used were cadmium (II), copper (II), lead (II), mercury (II), manganese (II) and zinc (II). Six new and previously unreported compounds were prepared and studied polarographically, and their dissocia...

The xylem exudates of soybean (Glycine max cv Williams), provided with fixed N, were characterized as to their organic constituents and in vivo and in vitro complexation of plutonium, iron, cadmium, and nickel. Ion exchange fractionation of whole exudates into their compound classes (organic acid, neutral, amino acid, and polyphosphate), followed by thinlayer electrophoresis, permitted evaluati...

In this study, 2-aminobenzoic acid (ABA) has been used as complexing ligand for simultaneousdetermination of metal ions by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (AdCSV), for the firsttime. Thus, a selective and sensitive procedure was presented for simultaneous determination oflead, cadmium and nickel using ABA and differential pulse-adsorptive cathodic strippingvolt...

few novel cobalt(ii) and copper(ii) complexes [m(fmp)3]cl2, [m(fmp)(bpy)2]cl2,[m(fmp)(phen)2]cl2 and [m(fmp)(phen)(bpy)]cl2 (fmp = 3-furan-2-ylmethylene-pentane-2,4-dione, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) have been synthesized andcharacterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements,ir, electronic, epr, mass spectra and cyclic voltam...
