In earlier inhalation exposures of rabbits, nickel increased the production of surfactant by type II cells, with secondary effects on morphology and function of alveolar macrophages. Cobalt induced mainly a nodular growth pattern of the type II cells. Trivalent chromium seemed to impair the capacity of macrophages to catabolize surfactant but did not affect the type II cells. We exposed rabbits...

Chelating resins have been considered to be suitable materials for the recovery of heavy metals in water treatments. A chelating resin based on modified poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) with Melamine was synthesized. This modified resin was further reacted with 1,2-diaminoethan in the presence of ultrasonic irradiation for the preparation of a tridimensional chelating resin on the nanoscale f...

A series of salts based on ethyl ester glycine-betaine derivatives, viz tri(n-pentyl)[2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl]ammonium bromide, have been synthesized. These cations generate hydrophobic ionic liquids (ILs) with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Tf2N−) or dicyanamide (Dca−) anions. new analogues glycine-betaine-based (AGB-ILs) were characterized using spectroscopic methods (IR, 1H, and 13C NMR) ele...

The prime molecular target of glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl]glycine), a potent herbicidal and antimicrobial agent, is known to be the shikimate-pathway enzyme, 5-enol-pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase. Inhibition by glyphosate of an earlier pathway enzyme that is located in the cytosol of higher plants, 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase (DS-Co), has raised the possibilit...

The study discusses the possible binding of molecular oxygen to some new CoII complexes with the Schiff base ligands of the Co(Salen) type. The investigated complexes of CoII with the Schiff bases are: (bis(5-nitro-salicylaldehyde)ethylenediaminato)cobalt(II), Co(NSalen); (bis( -ethylene-salicylaldehyde)ethylenediaminato)cobalt(II), Co(EtSalen); (bis( -ethylene-3,5-diiode-salicylaldehyde)ethyle...

In an attempt to synthesize new cobalt(II) sulfate framework structures using 1,4-diaza-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octane as a template, crystals of poly[0.35-[hexa-aqua-cobalt(II)] [tri-μ-hydroxido-μ-sulfato-dicobalt(II)]], {[Co(H(2)O)(6)](0.35)[Co(2)(OH)(3)(SO(4))]}(n), were obtained as a mixture with [Co(H(2)O)(6)]SO(4) crystals. The crystal structure can be described as being constructed from discrete ...

Two different phase-pure cobalt(II) cyanoguanidine bromide coordination compounds, Co(C2N4H4)2(H2O)4·2Br?2H2O (1) and Co3(C2N4H4)8(H2O)8·6Br (2), were precipitated from aqueous methanol solutions, respectively, their structures solved refined X-ray single-crystal data at 100 K. Both 1 2 crystallize in the triclinic system with space group P1¯. The structure of consists two crystallographically ...

Novel hydroxyamidinate complexes of cobalt(II) are presented, together with their electrochemical and spectroscopic properties. An unusual d(7) square-planar coordination around the cobalt(II) center exists and was confirmed by chemical oxidation to its Co(III) species. The Co(II) complex is difficult to reduce, but its facile oxidation suggests that it may be useful as an electron donor in pho...

The complexes of divalent Cobalt with bis(2,6-diacetyl pyridine monoxime)1,2-diiminobenzene have been prepared separately in presence of respective salts. The general molecular formula of the complexes have been found to be [Co(L)]X2 where L=Bis(2,6-diacetyl pyridine monoxime)1,2-di-iminobenzene, X=chloride, bromide, sulphate, perchlorate, nitrate, acetate ions, On the characterisation of the c...

Four heteroleptic complexes of nickel(ii), cobalt(ii) and zinc(ii), containing a monodentate silanethiolate ligand derived from tris(2,6-diisopropylphenoxy)silanethiol (TDST), were prepared and characterized. Nickel(ii) and cobalt(ii) complexes of the formula M(NH3)2(TDST)2 (M = Ni(ii) complex , M = Co(ii) complex ) were obtained from the respective chlorides. Zinc complexes of the general form...
