This study examines how Fenton's reagent (Fe2+ and H2O2) decomposed dichlorvos insecticide. Results showed that dichlorvos decomposed in a two-stage reaction. The first stage is a Fe2+/H2O2 reaction in which dichlorvos swiftly decomposed. In the second stage, dichlorvos decomposed somewhat less rapidly, and it is a Fe3+/H2O2 reaction. The detection of ferrous ions also supports the theory of th...

the interaction of fe2+ ion with pyrazole was theoretically studied by gussian 03, software at hf/(lanl2dz+6-31g) and hf/ (lanl2dz+6-31g (d)) levels in gas phase and solution. in this study acompartion between optimized structures of pyrazole molecule in aspect of thermodynamicparameters such as enthalpy (h°), gibbs free energy (g°) and entropy (s°) in presence of metallic ion(fe2+), was perfor...

Iron can be a detrimental catalyst in biological free radical oxidations. Because of the high physiological ratio of [O2]/[H2O2] (> or = 10(3)), we hypothesize that the Fenton reaction with pre-existing H2O2 is only a minor initiator of free radical oxidations and that the major initiators of biological free radical oxidations are the oxidizing species formed by the reaction of Fe2+ with dioxyg...

Oxygen free radicals are highly reactive species generated by many cellular oxidation-reduction processes. These radicals damage cellular constituents and have been causally implicated in the pathogenesis of many human diseases. We report here that oxygen free radicals generated by Fe2+ in aqueous solution are mutagenic. Aerobic incubation of luminal diameter X174 am3 (amber 3 mutation) DNA wit...

Vesicles of brush-border and basolateral plasma membrane were prepared from enterocytes of the rat small intestine. The separateness of these two varieties of plasma membrane was confirmed by appropriate enzyme assays. The uptake of Fe2+ by these membrane vesicles was studied, and the results suggest differences between the two types of membrane in both the amount of Fe2+ taken up and in the ra...

Reaction of FeCl2 and H4DSBDC (2,5-disulfhydrylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid) leads to the formation of Fe2(DSBDC), an analogue of M2(DOBDC) (MOF-74, DOBDC(4-) = 2,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate). The bulk electrical conductivity values of both Fe2(DSBDC) and Fe2(DOBDC) are ∼6 orders of magnitude higher than those of the Mn(2+) analogues, Mn2(DEBDC) (E = O, S). Because the metals are of t...

An azadithiolate bridged monocyanide derivative [Fe2(adt)(CO)5(CN)]- of [Fe2(adt)(CO)4(CN)2]2- has been prepared and extensively characterized as a model of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase active site, using a combination of FTIR spectroscopy, electrochemical methods and catalytic assays with chemical reductants. The presence of two basic nitrogen sites opens up multiple protonation pathways, enabling c...
