The development of d0 transition-metal (TM) iodates is critical importance because these are promising candidates for second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials with excellent properties and rich functional structural diversity. In this work, the first polar zirconium iodate CsZrF4(IO3) has been synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction. It features an unusual linear chain structure co...

A new method is reported for sensitive determination of tartrazine in the food samples. The method is based on the catalytic effect of silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) on the oxidation reaction of tartrazine by potassium iodate in the acetate buffer medium. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the change in absorbance (ΔA) at 420 nm using a fixed time method (70 s). The react...

Systematic explorations of new compounds in the La(3+)-V(4+)/V(5+)-iodate system led to three new lanthanum(III) vanadium iodates, namely, LaVO(IO(3))(5), LaV(2)O(6)(IO(3)), and LaVO(2)(IO(3))(4).H(2)O. LaVO(IO(3))(5) is isostructural with LaTiO(IO(3))(5) and its structure contains a 0D [VO(IO(3))(5)](3-) anionic unit composed of one VO(6) octahedron linked to five IO(3)(-) groups. Such 0D anio...

Selective turn-on fluorescence detection of I(-) was accomplished using fluorescein isothiocyanate-decorated gold nanoparticles (FITC-AuNPs). FITC molecules, which fluoresce strongly in an alkaline solution, were severely quenched when they were attached to the surface of AuNPs through their isothiocyanate group. Upon the addition of I(-), FITC molecules were detached because of I(-) adsorption...

I UNDERTOOK the following investigation at Lieutenant Nesfield's request, and although I found a bactericidal power for iodine on B. subtilis somewhat lower than that which he determined, yet the experiments afford strong evidence of the value of his processf for sterilizing water for surgical purposes and confirm all his other results:? 1. One tablet of mixed iodide and iodate of sodium weighi...

The mechanism of the action of chemical bread improvers has recently been the subject of wide discussion. J0rgensen (9, 10, 11 j 12,13),^ and Balls and Hale (2, 3) have advanced the theory that the improvement of baking quality caused by oxidizing agents, such as potassium brómate and potassium iodate, is due to the fact that they inactivate the proteinases of flour, thereby inhibiting the acti...

The new tungstatoiodate, α-[H5W18O59(IO3)](6-), containing I(V)O3(-) within a {W18O54} metal oxide framework has been prepared and shown by X-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry to be derived from the fully oxidised [H3W18O56(IO6)](6-) by two-electron reduction accompanied by a redox-triggered structural rearrangement where three I-O covalent bonds are broken.

A simple, precise, sensitive and accurate method was developed for rapid determination of trace quantities of iodate. The method is based on the accelerating effect of iodate on the reaction of bromate and chloride acid in the presence of hydrazine in acidic media. The decolorization of Methyl Orange with the reaction products was used to monitor the reaction spectrophotometrically at 525 nm. I...

An analytical technique based on resonance-enhanced laser-induced plasma spectroscopy was demonstrated. Pellets of potassium iodate containing trace amounts of sodium were ablated by a 532-nm laser pulse in air. After 30 ns, the plasma plume was intercepted by a 404.4-nm laser pulse to resonantly photoionize the potassium atoms in the vapor plume. The 589-nm emissions of the sodium were found t...

Anthropogenic 129I as a long-lived radioisotope of iodine has been considered as an ideal oceanographic tracer due to its high residence time and conservative property in the ocean. Surface water samples collected from the East China Sea (ECS) in August 2013 were analyzed for 129I, 127I and their inorganic chemical species in the first time. The measured 129I/127I ratio is 1-3 orders of magnitu...
