Introduction: Cadmium is recognized worldwide as a toxic metal. In this study, Solvent-Assisted Dispersive Solid Phase Extraction (SA-DSPE) combined with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS), was used for determination of trace amounts of Cadmium (Cd-II)) in drinking water samples.

Zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of a tridentate oximate ligand cleave 4-nitrophenyl acetate with rate constants surpassing by two orders of magnitude those reported as the maximum possible level for highly basic free oximate anions as a result of removal of the "solvational imbalance" of the nucleophile by metal coordination.

Natamycin is a broad spectrum antimycotic with very low water solubility, which is used to extend the shelf life of shredded cheese products. beta-Cyclodextrin (beta-CD), hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HP beta-CD), and gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) were found to form inclusion complexes with natamycin in aqueous solution. The increase in solubility of natamycin with added beta-CD was observed...

Direct observation and structural characterization of a kinetic product and a thermodynamic product for complexes with an NO2S2 macrocycle (L) are reported. L reacts with copper(I) iodide to give a mononuclear complex [Cu(L)]2(Cu2I4)·2CH2Cl2 (1), featuring three separate units. When cadmium(II) iodide was reacted with L, an anion-coordinated complex [Cd(L)I]2(Cd2I6)·4CH3CN (2) with a needle-typ...

One of the metal-organic nonlinear optical materials, dibromo thiosemicarbazide cadmium (II) chloride monohydrate (DBTSCCC) was synthesized. Solubility of DBTSCCC was determined in double distilled water at different temperatures. Three dimensional crystal structure of the grown crystal was determined by single crysatal X-ray diffraction study. FT-IR study confirms the formation of the expected...

In the title complex, [BaCd(C(3)H(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(4)](n), the Ba(II) atoms, located on crystallographic twofold axes, adopt slightly distorted square-anti-prismatic coordination geometries, while the Cd(II) atoms, which lie on crystallographic centres of symmetry, have a distorted octa-hedral coordination. Each malonate dianion binds two different Cd(II) atoms and two different Ba(II) atoms. ...
