Three hybrid networks based on octamolybdate building units, Cu(I)(8)BBTZ(6)[(α-Mo(8)O(26))(β-Mo(8)O(26))] (1), (Cu(I)BBTZ)(4)[Mo(7)Cu(II)O(24)(H(2)O)(2)]·6H(2)O (2), and Cu(II)Cu(I)(2)BBTZ(5)[β-Mo(8)O(26)] (3) (BBTZ = 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene), have been synthesized under ionothermal conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 exhibits a rar...

the concentrations and speciation of mo, together with fe, cu, and zn, in nver river sediments impacted with mo mining activities in western liaoning, northeast china, were investigated withgeochemical method. using the x-ray fluorescence and x-ray diffraction, the characterizations of metals in tailings ponds deposited along the nver river bank were analyzed. analysis and comparison of the con...

Twelve male 8-month-old lambs were used in a 6-month feeding experiment to determine the effects of dietary Mo, Mo + S and Zn supplements on the body retention and tissue accumulation of dietary Cu, Zn and Fe. The lambs were divided into four groups of three lambs each and each group was fed ad libitum one of four diets. A control diet was based on palm kernel cake (PKC) and grass hay. Three ad...

A 6-month experiment with nine dietary treatments was conducted to determine amounts of S plus Mo supplements required to maintain normal hepatic concentrations of Cu and Mo and to prevent chronic Cu toxicity in lambs fed palm kernel cake (PKC) diets. All diets consisted of PKC supplemented with minerals and vitamins, and with appropriate amounts per kg DM of S (level 0 or level 1 = 1 g) as sod...

The elemental composition (surface adsorbed and internalized fraction of Cu, Mo and P) in marine phytoplankton was first examined in cultures of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum which were exposed to various levels of Cu concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 16 μmol/L with equivalent free [Cu2+] concentrations of 0.4-26 nmol/L. We observed an acceleration of algal growth rates (20-40%) with i...
