The asymmetric unit of the title hydrated salt, C22H26F2NO4(+)·Cl(-)·0.5H2O, consists of an (S,S,S,S)-nebivolol {nebivol = bis-[2-(6-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-yl)-2-hy-droxy-eth-yl]ammonium} cation, a chloride anion and a half-occupancy water mol-ecule. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene rings is 50.34 (12)°. The pyran rings adopt half-chair conformations. The ...

Nickel oxide (NiO) nano-size powder is synthesized using nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and ammonia as precursors. Applied surfactant is anionic surfactant. The sample was characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results obtained confirm the presence of nickel oxide nano-powders produced during chemical precipitation...

To the Editor: Qui et al. (1 ) propose a method to remove fibrinogen from serum specimens by precipitation with absolute ethanol for use in protein electrophoresis (PE). The authors recommend this method as highly selective and inexpensive. We read the article with great interest, as a possible alternative to the method incorporating reptilase (2 ) that is routinely used in our laboratory, whic...
