Molybdenum supplementation may increase sulfides in the human colon

Molybdenum Oxides vs. Molybdenum Sulfides: Geometric and Electronic Structures

In light of the recent attention MoS2 has received regarding its possibilities for use in the photocatalytic evolution of H2, we have conducted a comparative computational investigation of some key properties that determine water reactivity such as the molecular structure and water adsorption properties of molybdenum oxide and sulfide clusters. Using density functional theory methods, we have f...

Amorphous molybdenum sulfides as hydrogen evolution catalysts.

Providing energy for a population projected to reach 9 billion people within the middle of this century is one of the most pressing societal issues. Burning fossil fuels at a rate and scale that satisfy our near-term demand will irreversibly damage the living environment. Among the various sources of alternative and CO2-emission-free energies, the sun is the only source that is capable of provi...

Implementing New Regulation Promotes Health but May Increase Inequality

Synthetic folic acid supplementation during pregnancy may increase the risk of developing autism

Persons in developed countries are getting large amounts of folates in the form of folic acid. Folates are now ingested in three ways: as natural folates from food, as synthetic folic acid added to processed grains, and synthetic vitamin supplements. As a result of the supplementation, the circulating level of unmetabolized folic acid as well as total folates has greatly increased over the past...

Efficient oxidation of sulfides using a molybdenum(VI)–dioxo complex containing an benzimidazole ligand

For the first time, dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex with the general formula [MoO2L2] containing a N-O bidentate ligands (HL=2-(o-aminophenyl)- benzimidazole) has been used for the oxidation of sulfides. Elemental analyses (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen), FT-IR and Uv-Visble spectra and 1HNMR analysis agree well with the proposed stoicheiometry of the complex [MoO...
