a graphene oxide-terpyridine conjugate (gotc) based colorimetric and fluorescent nano-chemosensor was synthesized. it showed high selectivity and sensitivity for fe2+ and fe3+ ions in neutral aqueous solution over other metal ions such as li+, na+, ba2+, ca2+, al3+, cd2+, co2+, cu2+, hg2+, mn2+, ni2+, pb2+, zn2+, cr3+ and ag+. in absorption spectra, upon addition of fe2+ or fe3+, the sensor dis...

Efficient and environmentally friendly syntheses of xanthenes derivatives by using γ-Fe2O3@HAP-Fe2+ NPs as a catalyst has been carried out. The catalyst can be readily isolated by using an external magnet and no obvious loss of activity was observed when the catalyst was reused in eight consecutive runs. The procedure has several advantages, such as economic...

Deoxyribose test has been widely used for determination of reactivities of various compounds for the hydroxyl radical. The test is based on the formation of hydroxyl radical by Fe2+ complex in the Fenton reaction. We propose a modification of the deoxyribose test to detect strong iron binding, inhibiting participation of Fe2+ in the Fenton reaction, on the basis of examination of concentration ...

Both mammalian and bacterial ferritin undergo rapid reaction with small-molecule reductants, in the absence of Fe2+ chelators, to form ferritins with reduced (Fe2+) mineral cores. Large, low-potential reductants (flavoproteins and ferredoxins) similarly react anaerobically with both ferritin types to quantitatively produce Fe2+ in the ferritin cores. The oxidation of Fe2+ ferritin by large prot...

Identifying the metal ions that optimize charge transport and charge density in metal-organic frameworks is critical for systematic improvements in the electrical conductivity in these materials. In this work, we measure the electrical conductivity and activation energy for twenty different MOFs pertaining to four distinct structural families: M2(DOBDC)(DMF)2 (M = Mg2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, ...

The aim of our study was to evaluate a model system by using iron in the peroxidation of plasma. Lipid peroxidation was monitored by fluorometric measurement of lipid peroxides (LPO). Plasma coincubated with Fe2+ and H2O2 had a 268% increase in plasma LPO after 1 h. The optimum concentrations were 0.42 mmol/L Fe2+ and 0.73 mol/L H2O2. Coincubation of plasma with these concentrations of Fe2+ and...

Explorations of phases in the quaternary Fe(III)-B(III)-P(V)-O system prepared by the high temperature solution growth (HTSG) method led to single-crystal growth of anhydrous diiron(III) borotriphosphate, Fe(2)[BP(3)O(12)]. This phase has been synthesized previously as a microcrystalline material and its structure refined in space group P3 from powder X-ray diffraction data using the Rietveld m...
