Aspects related to hatching, time-lapse between presenting the blood-meal and beginning of feeding, feeding time, postfeed defecation delay, mortality, and fecundity for each stage of Meccus longipennis life-cycle were evaluated. The bugs were maintained in a dark incubator at 27 1 C and 80 5% rh, were fed weekly and checked daily for ecdysis or death. The hatching rate observed for 300 egg...

In a previous paper some of us presented the structure and properties new family ionic liquids, ILs, with common cation, 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium (the popular [C4C1Im]+ or [BMIM]+) variety anions based in thiocyanate (SCN)−: one reference sample ten anionic metal complexes different valences: AlIII, MnII, FeIII, CrIII, NiII, HgII, ZnII, CoII CuI, resulting, respectively, [BMIM](SCN), [BMIM]...

We describe a series of air-stable NiIII complexes supported by simple, robust naphthyridine-based ligand. Access to the high-valent oxidation state is enabled CF3 ligands on nickel, while naphthyridine exhibits either monodentate or bidentate coordination mode that depends and sterics, enables facile aerobic NiII NiIII. These act as efficient catalysts for photoinduced C(sp2)−H bond trifluorom...

the complexation reactions between cu2+, pd2+ and ni2+ metal ions with promethazine (pm) in water or dmf were studied by the spectrophotometric methods at [(15, 25,35 and 45±0.1) °c]. the complexation process was optimized in terms of ph, temperature and contact time. the stoichiometry of the complex was found to be 1:1 (metal ion/ligand). the formation constants of the resulting complexes were...
