UNLABELLED Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder worldwide with substantial impact on health and economy. Current treatments predominantly rely on soluble iron which adversely affects the gastrointestinal tract. We have developed organic acid-modified Fe(III) oxo-hydroxide nanomaterials, here termed nano Fe(III), as alternative safe iron delivery agents. Nano Fe(III) absorptio...

27 In the present study, the effect of phosphate ion and iron hydroxides (Fe-plaques) on the 28 selective uptake of arsenic species by water fern (Salvinia natans L.) was investigated. The 29 plants were grown for 5 days in aqueous Murashige and Skoog (MS) culture media modified in 30 arsenic and phosphate concentrations. Arsenic accumulations in Salvinia natans L. increased 31 with the increas...

Residual sludge is a significant waste resource, and the preparation of biochar achieves disposal. Biochar has high uptake capacity for phosphate. To prepare adsorbent phosphate, was chemically anaerobically treated in presence iron salts pyrolyzed. We investigated effects pyrolysis temperature salt on phosphate capacity, finding that pretreatment with removed intrinsic thus improving ability. ...

[1] In order to establish the potential role of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the recycling of bioactive elements, we have quantified the release of iron, phosphate, and ammonia by these organisms along the Antarctic Peninsula sector of the Southern Ocean. The experimental results suggested that the presence of krill has a significant impact on ambient iron concentrations, as large amo...

The title dinitrosyl iron diphosphane complex, [Fe(NO)(2)(C(18)H(12)Cl(3)P)(2)] or Fe(NO)(2)L(2) [L = P(C(6)H(4)-p-Cl)(3)] belongs to the family of metal dinitrosyl compounds with the general formula Fe(NO)(2)(L)(x), referred to collectively as dinitrosyl iron compounds (DNICs). The iron atom is tetra-hedrally coordinated by two phosphane ligands and two NO groups with Fe-N-O bond angles of 178...

The title compound, [Fe(NO)(2)(C(18)H(12)F(3)P)(2)]·CHCl(3), belongs to the family of metal dinitrosyl compounds with the general formula Fe(NO)(2)(L)(x), referred to collectively as 'dinitrosyl iron compounds' (DNICs). Herein we report the structure of a dinitrosyl iron diphosphane complex, (Fe(NO)(2)L(2), with L = P(C(6)H(4)-p-F)(3). The structure includes one metal complex mol-ecule and one ...

The title compound, [Fe(NO)(2)(C(21)H(21)P)(2)], belongs to the family of metal dinitrosyl compounds with the general formula Fe(NO)(2)(L)(x), referred to collectively as 'dinitrosyl iron compounds' (DNICs). Herein we report the structure of a dinitrosyl iron diphosphane complex, [Fe(NO)(2)L(2)], with L = P(C(6)H(4)-p-CH(3))(3). There are two crystallographically independent but chemically equa...

Wetland soils derive their chemical composition from the sedimentary rock underneath. Among metals produced are trace and nutrient elements which facilitate plant growth. Bush burning near mangrove forest is a common practice that has not been given much attention despite its negative impact on environment. We thus hypothesize application of fire wetland soil will negatively chemistry. collecte...

Although phosphate concentrations have been reduced, the rivers Meuse and Rhine are still polluted with sulphate, which most probably affects vegetation development in newly created riverine wetlands. The influence of flooding with river water rich in sulphate was tested on three soil types from floodplains of the river Meuse using flow-through and batch experiments. Soils were selected for con...

The reactions of hydrogen with the 14-electron high-spin iron( 1 1 ) dialkyls of stoichiometry [ FeRJdippe)] [dippe = 1,2-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ethane] have been studied. The p-methylbenzyl complex in diethyl ether yielded the zerovalent p-xylene complex [Fe(q6-C,H4Me,-1 ,4) (dippe)], where the arene ligand has been formed by addition of a hydrogen atom to the a-carbon of the p-methylbenzyl ...
