Speciation of Organomercurials in Marine
نویسنده
چکیده
A rapid method for speciation and determination of organomercury compounds in biological samples of marine origin using Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) is reported. Organomercurials were extracted from the samples by means of the classical Westöö procedure thus giving organomercury-cysteine complexes which can be separated from each other by means of CE resulting in effective speciation. Electrophoretic separation was achieved in an open silica capillary tube at 15-18 kV using a 100mM sodium borate buffer (pH 8.35). All mercury species were distinctively separated within 12 min. Results are presented for the analysis of real marine samples and reference materials, and compared with those obtained by the GC commonly accepted procedure.

Application of chromatographic and electrophoretic methodology to the speciation of organomercury compounds in food analysis.
Trace metals such as mercury, especially its organic compounds, are an important risk to the environment and to man due to their accumulation in the food chain. For this reason, the routine determination of the very toxic methylmercury, and of other organic and inorganic mercury compounds in marine and land animals, vegetables, fruits and fresh water is of increasing importance in health and en...

This review reports some novel (or improved) synthetic methods for preparing a number of aromatic (carbocyclic and predominantly heterocyclic) organomercurials, particularly those derived from theophylline, theobromine and uracil, as well as some novel haloand cyano-demercuration reactions. We have also synthesized the first stable organic derivative of mercury(I), viz. 1,8-bis(acetoxydimercuri...

The possibility of application of 4-nitrocatechol (4-NC) - tetrazolium salt - organic solventsystems for liquid-liquid extraction-spectrophotometric vanadium (IV and V) speciation wasstudied. Six commercially available tetrazolium salts (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC),3-(2-naphtyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium chloride (Tetrazolium Violet, TV); 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazol)-2,5-diphenyltetra...
متن کاملExtinction and time help drive the marine-terrestrial biodiversity gradient: is the ocean a deathtrap?
The marine-terrestrial richness gradient is among Earth's most dramatic biodiversity patterns, but its causes remain poorly understood. Here, we analyse detailed phylogenies of amniote clades, paleontological data and simulations to reveal the mechanisms underlying low marine richness, emphasising speciation, extinction and colonisation. We show that differences in diversification rates (specia...
