The title compound, [CrZr(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(2)H(3)O)Cl(CO)(5)], consists of two metal centres, with a (penta-carbonyl-chromium)oxymethyl-carbene group coordinating as a monodentate ligand to the zirconocene chloride. π-Delocalization through the Zr-O-C=Cr unit is indicated by a short Zr-O distance [2.041 (3) Å] and a nearly linear Zr-O-C angle [170.5 (3)°]. Mol-ecules are aligned with their mol-ec...

The interaction of decamethylchromocene (Cp*2Cr) with indigo in the presence of a Cl- source yields the coordination complex (indigo-O,O)(Cp*CrIICl) (1) in which one Cp* ligand at chromium is substituted by indigo. Indigo adopts an unusual cis-conformation in 1, allowing the coordination of both indigo carbonyl groups to one CrII center. Complex 1 contains CrII with an S = 1 spin state and indi...

Attached is my review of the chromium document. I have some serious reservations about the mechanistic aspects, as you will see.

We report a facile synthesis of single-phase, nanocrystalline macroporous chromium nitride and chromium titanium nitride with an inverse opal morphology. The material is characterized using XRD, SEM, HR-TEM/STEM, TGA and XPS. Interconversion of macroporous CrN to Cr2O3 and back to CrN while retaining the inverse opal morphology is also demonstrated.

We present the results of atomistic simulations of metallic atomic-force-microscopy tips interacting with ionic substrates, with atomic resolution. Chromium and tungsten tips are used to image the NaCl(001) and MgO(001) surfaces. The interaction of the tips with the surface is simulated by using density-functional-theory calculations employing a mixed Gaussian and plane-wave basis and cluster-t...

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Cr(2)Cl(4)(C(26)H(36)N(2))(2)(C(4)H(8)O)]·4.5CH(2)Cl(2), the two Cr(II) centers are bridged by three Cl atoms, forming a dinuclear complex. Each Cr(II) center is coordinated by one chelating bis-(2,6-diisopropyl-phen-yl)ethane-1,2-diimine ligand via both N atoms. An additional chloride ion binds to one chromium center, whereas an additional te...

The goal of this experiment was to investigating of effects of different levels of nano chromium (N-Cr) in diet on egg quality and blood chromium content of japanese quail. Two hundred and forty laying japanese quail (45 day old) were randomly distributed to 20 experimental unit with 12 birds in cage pens of 40 × 80 cm. Experimental treatments include: 1) control national research council (NRC,...

The synthesis of the bulky 1-(1-arylimino-2,2-dimethylpropyl)-3-(aryl)imidazolium salt from the corresponding imidazole and the activated imidoyl chloride is presented. The absence of acidic protons adjacent to the iminic carbon allowed for the first isolation of an imino-N-heterocyclic carbene of this ligand class. The free carbene was isolated, structurally characterised, and coordinated to t...

Lactoperoxidase, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and iodide is cytotoxic for human and mouse lymphoid cells, and human erythrocytes. Myeloperoxidase, in amounts equivalent to 1.5 x 10(6) neutrophils, readily replaces lactoperoxidase, and allows the substitution of the iodide ion by chloride. The myeloperoxidase-mediated reaction is rapid, and highly efficient, leading to 85-90% cell death ...

A simple passive haemmagglutination assay (PHA) was developed to detect Vi antibodies, to improve the diagnosis of typhoid fever by small laboratories. The Vi capsular antigen of Salmonella typhi was extracted by alternate alcohol and acetone precipitation. Formalin fixed, sheep red blood cells treated with chromium chloride were sensitised with this Vi antigen and antibodies detected and measu...
