The title crystal, [Fe(C5H5)2].C12F10, comprises infinite chains of alternating component molecules, linked through face-to-face contacts of nearly parallel cyclopentadienyl and pentafluorophenyl rings. The decafluorobiphenyl molecule has a crystallographic twofold axis and the Fe atom of the ferrocene molecule is on a crystallographic inversion centre, with both cyclopentadienyl rings disordered.

The title compounds, C12H13NO4, are derived from lthreonine and dl-threonine, respectively. Hydrogen bonding in the chiral derivative, (2S/3R)-3-hydroxy-2-(1-oxoisoindolin2-yl)butanoic acid, consists of OÐHacid OalkylÐ H O Cindole chains [O O 2.659 (3) and 2.718 (3) AÊ ], CspÐH O and three CÐH arene interactions. In the (2R,3S/2S,3R) racemate, conventional carboxylic acid hydrogen bonding as cy...

The coassembly of C(60) derivatives through arene-perfluoroarene interactions has been used for the first time to develop millimeter-sized flat crystalline sheets. Time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) measurements exhibited anisotropic features with over double the charge carrier mobility in the direction parallel to the plane of the crystal than perpendicular to the plane. This study de...

In the title compound, [Al(3)LaCl(12)(C(12)H(18))]·C(6)H(6), all mol-ecules are located on a mirror plane. Three chloridoaluminate groups and a hexa-methyl-benzene mol-ecule are bound to the central lanthanum(III) ion, forming a distorted penta-gonal bipyramid with the η(6)-coordinated arene located at the apical position. The hexa-methyl-benzene ligand disordered between two orientations in a ...

The Regional Superfund Ground Water Forum is a group of ground-water scientists, representing EPA's Regional Superfund Offices, organized to exchange up-to-date information related to ground-water remediation of Superfund sites. One of the major issues of concern to the Forum is the transport and fate of contaminants in soil and ground water as related to subsurface remediation. Processes which...

Yeasts, molds, bacteria, actinomycetes, algae, and fungal spores were screened for their ability to degrade aflatoxin. Some molds and mold spores partially transformed aflatoxin B(1) to new fluorescing compounds. Only one of the bacteria, Flavobacterium (aurantiacum?) NRRL B-184, removed aflatoxin from solution. Both growing and resting cells of B-184 took up toxin irreversibly. Toxin-contamina...

E-mail:[email protected] © All Natural Advantage Changing the way we think about treating autism. Sulphate is produced in the body by oxidation of the dietary proteins, methionine or cysteine (both sulphur containing amino acids), which probably provides ~ 80% of the sulphate required in man. Sulphur is the sixth most abundant mineral in breast milk (colostrum has three times more than m...

Naltrexone is a long acting opioid antagonist that is used in rehabilitation programmes to maintain heroin abstinence. It is a relatively new drug prescribed by specialists in substance misuse. Its actions and effects may not be familiar to many accident and emergency doctors or even to the people who take it. A case report is described where accidental ingestion of naltrexone results in a medi...

Several efforts have been made to detoxify the effect of metals once they are administered in the human body. Chelation is considered the best method used so far. Medicinal treatment of acute and chronic metal toxicity is provided by chelating agents. Chelation is one of the chemical functions that take place in the bodies of almost all living organisms. It is a process by which plants and anim...
