the synthesis, spectroscopic and magnetic characterization of a series of new alkoxo-bridged binuclear copper (ii) compounds are described. all complexes have the general formula [cu (m-or)(l)2]2(clo4)2 · x h2o, in which m-or = ch3o-, c2h5o- or c3h7o-, l = 2-amino-4-methylpyridine (abbreviated a4pic) and 2-amino-5-methylpyridine ( abbreviated a5pic). the title compounds all consist of dinuclear...

The photochemistry of a series of bis(acyl)phosphine oxides and the rate constants of the reactions of their phosphorus radicals with n-butylacrylate, thiophenol, bromotrichloromethane, oxygen, and methyl viologen have been investigated by laser flash photolysis. The results were compared to a mono(acyl)phosphine oxide ((2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)diphenylphosphine oxide). The variation in reactivi...

Seasonal and spatial variations in metal concentrations and pH were found in a stream at a restored copper mine site located near a massive sulfide deposit in the Foothill copper-zinc belt of the Sierra Nevada, California. At the mouth of the stream, copper concentrations increased and pH decreased with increased streamflow after the onset of winter rain and, unexpectedly, reached extreme value...

Nature of a large number of pyridine N-oxide-metal complexes 1) has been investigated in detailes, and pyridazine and its derivatives are also known to afford complexes with a variety of metal ions. ‘I However, no attention has been given to complex formation between pyridazine N-oxides(I) and metal ions. 3) It is interesting to examine the structures and properties of the complexes of I becaus...

Introduction Supported rhenium oxide catalysts have a wide range of catalytic applications, such as olefin metathesis, hydrodesulfurization, hydrogenation and NH3-SCR. Hence, the practical importance of rhenium oxide catalysts has resulted in extensive investigation of the surface structure of supported rhenium oxide catalysts. The molecular structure of supported rhenium oxides has been mainly...

A new method for the determination of trace copper(II) in food samples by Cloud Point Extraction(CPE) combined with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry(FAAS) is presented and evaluated. The method is based on the fact that hydrophobic complex of copper(II) with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) was formed at pH 6.0 and subsequently the hydrophobic complex was extracted into surfactant-r...

oxime extractants 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl benzaldehyde oxime (hl1) and 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy benzaldehyde oxime (hl2) were synthesized and characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods. suitable lipophilic nature of the prepared extractants allowed examining the ability of these molecules for extraction-separation of copper from its mixture with normally associated meta...

This work studied the development of vegetable based lubricants and the addition of oxides nanoparticles (ZnO and CuO) as additive for extreme pressure (EP), exploring the EP and oil base influence in tribological behavior. The results showed that with the addition of nanoparticles to conventional lubricant, the tribological properties can be significantly improved. A smoother and more compact ...

The extraction and separation of copper(II), zinc(II), cobalt(II), and cadmium(II) were investigated. Both copper(II) and zinc(II) formed ammine-complexes, while cadmium(II) and cobalt(II) formed hydroxide precipitates in an ammonia medium. By the addition of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), a copper(II) complex formed an ion-pair (copper-ammine-DS), which was extracted into the SDS phase. However,...
