Former experiments on molten FeCl3 have shown that, as for A1C13, melting is accompanied by a transition from sixfold to essentially fourfold coordination. However, in contrast to AICI3, the FeCl3 melt near freezing has an appreciable ionic conductivity. We propose a model for the structure of FeCl3 melt as consisting of closely packed Fe2Cl6 bitetrahedral molecules in equilibrium with (Fe2Cl5)...

We investigate the optoelectronic properties of novel graphene/FeCl3-intercalated few-layer graphene (FeCl3-FLG, dubbed graphexeter) heterostructures using photovoltage spectroscopy. We observe a prominent photovoltage signal generated at the graphene/FeCl3-FLG and graphene/Au interfaces, whereas the photovoltage at the FeCl3-FLG/Au interface is negligible. The sign of the photovoltage changes ...

The mechanism of action of the widely used in vivo ferric chloride (FeCl3) thrombosis model remains poorly understood; although endothelial cell denudation is historically cited, a recent study refutes this and implicates a role for erythrocytes. Given the complexity of the in vivo environment, an in vitro reductionist approach is required to systematically isolate and analyze the biochemical, ...

The inorganic salts KCl, NaCl, CaCl2, MgCl2, and FeCl3, and especially the latter, significantly increased xylose monomer and xylotriose degradation in water heated to 180 C with unaccountable losses of xylose amounting to as high as 65% and 78% for xylose and xylotriose, respectively, after 20 min incubation with 0.8% FeCl3. Furthermore, losses of both xylose and xylotriose were well described...

In the present study, the use of trivalent iron (Fe), added as ferric chloride (FeCl3), in untreated wastewater was investigated for the reduction of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) concentration. The area under study was the Municipal Enterprise for Water and Sewage of Chania (DEYACH) (Crete, Greece). FeCl3, at concentrations varied from 0.5 to 5,930 mg FeCl3 per liter wastewater, was added into waste...

Ferric chloride (FeCl3) induced vascular injury is a widely used model of occlusive thrombosis that reports platelet activation in the context of an aseptic closed vascular system. This model is based on redox-induced endothelial cell injury, which is simple and sensitive to both anticoagulant and anti-platelets drugs. The time required for platelet aggregation to occlude blood flow gives a qua...

Conductive textile yarns were prepared by a continuous vapor polymerization method; the application of polypyrrole by the continuous vapor polymerisation method used is designed for the easy adaptation into industrial procedures. The resultant conductive yarns were examined by longitudinal and cross-sectional views, clearly showing the varying level of penetration of the polymer into the yarns ...

We investigated the chelating effect of FeCl3 on three beta-diketones, curcumin [1], (-)-3-(trifluoroacetyl)camphor [2] and 3-formylchromone [3], as judged by changes in their cytotoxicity and absorption spectra. Addition of an equimolar concentration of FeCl3 almost completely abrogated the cytotoxicity and changed the pattern of absorption spectra (decrease in the peak height at 430 nm) of [1...

The effects of the addition of metal salts and metal salt-catalyzed hydrolyzates on yeast cell growth in ethanol fermentation were investigated. Four yeast strains (Saccharomyces cerevisiae WT1, Saccharomyces cerevisiae MT81, Candida sp. 1779, and Klumaromyces fragilis), four metal salts (CuCl2, FeCl3, AgNO3, and I2), two metal salt-catalyzed hydrolyzates (CuCl2, and FeCl3), and a H2SO4-catalyz...
