The transformation of a 2-D perovskite structure to "expanded" 2-D and finally to a 0-D hexanuclear cadmium chloride cluster by varying the size of substituents on the associated counterions (H vs. methyl vs. ethyl) is described.

Tobacco contains cadmium, and this metal has been attributed a causative role in pulmonary emphysema among smokers, although extracellular cadmium has not to date been quantified in the bronchoalveolar space of tobacco smokers with or without COPD. We determined whether cadmium is enhanced in the bronchoalveolar space of long-term tobacco smokers with or without COPD in vivo, its association wi...

abstract the use of plants for remediation of heavy metals contaminated soils is an economical, cheap and effective strategy. this research was conducted in order to study the effect of potassium chloride on cadmium uptake and enhancement of it's phytoremediation by canola (brassica napus l.) and sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) in a cadmium polluted soil from angoran in zanjan province. in a r...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of heavy metals, at environmentally relevant concentrations, on the immune response of rainbow trout. Trout were exposed for 30 d to cadmium chloride (CdCl2), mercuric chloride (HgCl2), or zinc chloride (ZnCl2) either individually or in combinations: CdCl2/HgCl2, CdCl2/ZnCl2, HgCl2/ZnCl2, or CdCl2/HgCl2/ZnCl2. Following the 30-d exposure, p...

Background: There has been increasing awareness throughout the world regarding the remarkable decrease in amphibian population. For such amphibian population decline several causes have been given. Cadmium, a heavy metal is released both from natural sources (leaching of cadmium rich soils) and anthropogenic activities to the aquatic and terrestrial environments. This study evaluated the toxici...

Data are presented to show that ingestion of cadmium chloride by rats at low levels leads to alteration of zinc metabolism in the liver, even though the formation of metallothionein is not evident. A dose-response relationship between amount of cadmium ingested and degree of perturbation of zinc metabolism in liver was found. Oral cadmium was shown to cause emphysema and reduce pulmonary functi...

A new ketone Isonitroso phenyl 2 propanone (HINP2P) has been synthesized by the reaction of Benzyl magnesium chloride with cadmium chloride and acetyl chloride. On subsequent treatment of Phenyl 2 propanone with namyl nitrite gives Isonitroso Phenyl 2 Propanone. The structure of these compounds has been confirmed by physiochemical and spectral data. A preliminary screening of these compounds fo...

The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction of cadmium chloride with mineral elements in rat nephrocytes in terms of the biosynthesis of nanocomplexes. The results show that selenium supplementation enhanced cadmium accumulation in kidneys. Analysis of the fluorescence revealed an increase in red fluorescence in the kidneys of rats co-exposed to cadmium and selenium. Interestingly,...
