Vanadium (III) gives a greenish- yellow complex with anthranilic acid in presence of pyridine. The complex is extractable with chloroform and is used for photometric determination of vanadium by measuring the absorbance at 390 nm against a reagent blank. Beer's Law holds good in the range of 1-20 pg V/ml. Moderate amounts of Pb (II) , Ca (II) , Sr (II) , Ba (II) , Cd (II) , Mg (II) , Mn (II...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of long-term caloric restriction (CR) on the age-associated decline of skeletal muscle aerobic function. Skeletal muscle maximal aerobic performance (VO2max) was assessed in ad libitum (AL) and CR rats aged 8-10 months and 35 months using a pump-perfused hindlimb model to match oxygen delivery to muscle mass between groups. Whereas there was...

The are two independent complex cations in the title salt, [CrF2(C5H5N)4]ClO4, each located on a centre of inversion, as well as an independent perchlorate counter-ion. The complex cations adopt slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environments around the Cr(III) ion, defined by four pyridine (py) N atoms in the equatorial plane and two F(-) ligands in the axial positions; intra-molecula...

Optimization of phytoremediation and assessment of potential health hazards from metals in the environment requires an understanding of absorption, localization, and transport of the target metal by plants. The objectives of this study were to localize Cr and determine the oxidation state and possible complexation mode of Cr in intact plant tissue by means of XANES, synchrotron XRF microprobe s...

Lherzolite is one of the main units in the Ab-Bid ultramafic complex from Esfandagheh-HadjiAbad coloured mélange (South of Iran). The complex contains harzburgite, dunite, lherzolite and pyroxenite dykes and the lherzolites mainly occur in the margins. In the field, lherzolites occur as weakly foliated coarse-grained peridotites with shiny pyroxene grains and cut by neumerous pyroxenitic veins....

In the neutral complex mol-ecule of the title compound, fac-[CrCl3(tpa)] [tpa is tris-(pyridin-2-yl)amine; C15H12N4], the Cr(III) ion is bonded to three N atoms that are constrained to a facial arrangement by the tpa ligand and by three chloride ligands, leading to a distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere. The average Cr-N and Cr-Cl bond lengths are 2.086 (5) and 2.296 (4) Å, respectively. T...

Often signals and system parameters are most conveniently represented as complex-valued vectors. This occurs, for example, in array processing [1], as well as in communication systems [7] when processing narrowband signals using the equivalent complex baseband representation [2]. Furthermore, in many important applications one attempts to optimize a scalar real-valued measure of performance ove...

We hereby report the synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic characterizations of three novel Cr(III) complexes: a mononuclear Cr(III)(HL((1)))₃ species along with two dinuclear μ-methoxo Cr(III)₂(μ-OMe)₂(HL)₄ (H₂L((1)): 2-salicyloylhydrazono-1,3-dithiolane; H₂L((2)): 2-salicyloylhydrazono-1,3-dithiane). EPR studies indicate that both dinuclear complexes (2a and 2b) are stable in solution (C...

The Zentralblatt Math number for reference [18] should be Zbl 0373.50005. Reference [6] will not appear under that title. The relevant material (cited on p. 468, [C 1 ]) can be found in Reference [4], or in [C 2 ] instead. The following Sections of this addendum are a continuation of the consideration of real manifolds immersed in C n. They include some of the calculations omitted from the pape...

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Cr(3)(CH(3)CO(2))(6)(N(3))O(CH(3)OH)(2)]·CH(3)OH, the trinuclear core has a central O atom; two methanol mol-ecules and an azide ion are coordinated to the Cr(III) atoms in the core. The three Cr(III) atoms form vertices of a nearly equilateral triangle. Each of the six acetate carboxyl-ate groups bridges a Cr-O-Cr fragment. In the crystal, the mo...
