Phosphorous Oxide.

Phosphorous Metabolism of Brain

This small book amply fulfills the promise of its title; it is one of the best books on a specific aspect of brain metabolism to appear in recent years. The first two chapters cover phosphorus metabolism in the brain in vivo and include studies on the levels of phosphorylated compounds in the brain under various conditions. In addition, changes in the phosphate levels in the developing brain ar...

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of Tetra- and Octasubstituted Phosphorous Oxide Triazatetrabenzcorrole Photosensitizers

The synthesis of phosphorous oxide triazatetrabenzcorroles (TBC) tetra- (9, 11) or octa- (13) substituted on the ring with halogenated functional groups is reported. The complexes are not aggregated in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and show solubility in solvents such as pyridine. The Q band absorption spectra of the complexes are red-shifted compared to unsubstituted PTBC. The latter complex shows ...

Partial Oxidation of n-Butane over a Sol-Gel Prepared Vanadium Phosphorous Oxide

Vanadium phosphorous oxide (VPO) is traditionally manufactured from solid vanadium oxides by synthesizing VOHPO4·0.5H2O (the precursor) followed by in situ activation to produce (VO)2P2O7 (the active phase). This paper discusses an alternative synthesis method based on sol-gel techniques. Vanadium (V) triisopropoxide oxide was reacted with ortho-phosphoric acid in an aprotic solvent. The produc...

Phosphorous Efficiency and Tolerance Traits for Selection of Sorghum for Performance in Phosphorous-Limited Environments

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is widely cultivated in West Africa (WA) on soils with low phosphorus (P) availability. Large genetic variation for grain yield (GY) under low-P conditions was observed among WA sorghum genotypes, but information is lacking on the usefulness of P-tolerance ratios (relative performance in –P [no P fertilizer] vs. +P [with P fertilizer] conditions) and measur...
