The complexes containing mixed of ligands [5-(3-chlorophenyl) -1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione(CPoxSH)] and diphosphines Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 (diphos)(n=1-4), are prepared by the reaction [Hg(CPoxS)2] or [M(H2O)2(CPoxS)2] (M = Co, Ni ) with one mole proportion diphosphine gave tetrahedral type [Hg(CPoxS)2(diphos)]. While an octahedral cobalt(II) nickel(II) ions [M(H2O)(CPoxS)2(diphos)] when Co receptivity....

Hollow metal oxide nanocrystals were prepared by etching cuprous oxide with metal ions and were applied as photoelectrodes. As a hard template, polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized cuprous oxide (PVP-Cu2O) and non-stabilized cuprous oxide (nPVP-Cu2O) were synthesized by a precipitation method. Hollow iron oxide and cobalt oxide nanocrystals with a truncated octahedral morphology were fabricated by a...

This study on the removal of cobalt ions from aqueous solutions by red mud was conducted in batch condition. Its objective was to investigate the possibility of using red mud waste material as an alternative to high cost commercial adsorbent materials for the removal of cobalt from aqueous solution. In this study, batch experiments were carried out for the adsorption of cobalt onto red mud indu...

The evolution and the current trends in a new area of chemistry of organometalloporphyrins, in metalloporphyrin chemistry are reviewed. Synthesis and properties of out of plane, di—nuclear, and "Skewered" metalloporphyrins are described. The new chemistry of metalloporphyrins was initiated by the application of Cr(CO)6, metal carbonyl in general, for insertion of Cr ion (metal ions) into por— p...

Recent studies of the hairpin ribozyme have revealed a distinct catalytic mechanism for this small RNA motif. Inner-sphere coordinated metal ions are not required, as the inert metal ion complex cobalt hexammine promotes catalysis. Detailed kinetic analyses have defined rates of individual steps in the catalytic cycle. Functional group modification, NMR studies of subdomains and cross-linking e...

An environmentally safe procedure has been developed for the extraction, separation and determination of metal ions using a monosegmented flow analysis technique that exploits an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS-MSFA). The ATPS-MSFA method was applied for the determination of cobalt, based on the reaction between Co(II) and KSCN, which produces a metallic complex that spontaneously partitions to...

The complex formation and a liquid-liquid extraction in the cobalt(II) 4-(2thiazolylazo)resorcinol (TAR) 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride (TTC) water chloroform system was studied. The optimum extractionspectrophotometric conditions were found. The molar ratio of the reacting species was determined to be 1:2:1 (Co:TAR:TTC). The following equilibrium processes were quantitatively examined...

Cobalt-chrome alloy is a widely used biomaterial in joint replacements, dental implants and spinal rods. Although it is an effective and biocompatible material, adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD) have arisen in a minority of patients, particularly in those with metal-on-metal bearing hip replacements. There is currently no treatment for ARMD and once progressive, early revision surgery of...

the interaction between some heavy metal ions such as of pb(ii), cd(ii) and cu(ii) ions from aqueous solution adsorbed by single walled carbon nanotube (swcnts) and carboxylate group functionalized single walled carbon nanotube (swcnt-cooh) surfaces were studied by atomic absorption spectroscopy. the effect of contact time, ph, initial concentration of ion, ionic strength and temperature on the...

The various cobalt(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized using tris-(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine (ntb) as a ligand where the ntb plays as a tripodal tetradentate ligand to form complexes with a trigonal pyramidal geometry. The complexes have 5 and 6 coordinate cobalt(II) ions depending on the additional ligand used. In each complex the additional ligand, chloride anion, or acetate a...
