Methylxylenol blue or S^'-bis-Z^jiV'-diicarboxymethylJaminomethyl-^-xylenolsulfonephthalein belongs to the group of metallochromic indicators prepared by Körbt and Přibil [1] via condensation of common sulfonephthalein dyes with formaldehyde and iminodiacetic acid. Recently it has been newly prepared by Cherkesov and co-workers [2] and named ^-xylenolphthalexon S. Two indicators from this group...

The choice of radiocolloid for intra-articular therapy depends largely on factors of efficacy and safety. The fl-emission from yttrium 90 (90 Y) has a satisfactory range for use in the knee and a short half-life as well as freedom from gamma-radiation and from contamination. Since the demonstration by Stevenson, Bedford, Hill, and Hill (1971) and Stevenson and 12 others (1973) that chromosomal ...

The previously proposed concept of "inorganic metallocenes" of group 3 and rare-earth elements has been tested by preparing a series of novel disiloxanediolates with metals displaying different ionic radii. For the smaller scandium and yttrium, approximately planar arrangements of the disiloxanediolate frameworks with solvent and chloride ligands in trans positions were found. Thus, the compoun...

recent studies demonstrate that aluminide coatings are beneficial to wear and erosion resistance and also that oxygen-active elements such as yttrium can remarkably improve this resistance. in this research, the micro-hardness of the aluminide coatings with and without yttrium on 1045 steel was investigated using a micro-mechanical probe. wear of the samples was measured using a pin-on-disk tri...

Rare-earth metal alkyl tri(tert-butoxy)silanolate complexes [Ln{mu,eta2-OSi(O(t)Bu)3}(CH2SiMe3)2]2 (Ln = Y (1), Tb (2), Lu (3)) were prepared via protonolysis of the appropriate tris(alkyl) complex [Ln(CH2SiMe3)3(thf)2] with tri(tert-butoxy)silanol in pentane. Crystal structure analysis revealed a dinuclear structure for with square pyramidal geometry at the yttrium centre. The silanolate ligan...

BACKGROUND The potential medical applications of nanomaterials are shaping the landscape of the nanobiotechnology field and driving it forward. A key factor in determining the suitability of these nanomaterials must be how they interface with biological systems. Single walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) are being investigated as platforms for the delivery of biological, radiological, and chemical pa...

PURPOSE To determine the maximum tolerated dose of combined therapy using an yttrium-90-labeled anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) antibody with gemcitabine in patients with advanced CEA-producing solid tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The chimeric human/murine cT84.66 is an anti-CEA intact IgG1, with high affinity and specificity to CEA. This was given at a fixed yttrium-90-labeled dose of 16.6 ...

Milestone experimental discovery of superconductivity above 200 K in highly-compressed sulphur hydride by Drozdov (Nature 525, 73 (2015)) sparked and theoretical investigations metallic hydrides. Since then, a dozen superconducting binary ternary polyhydrides have been discovered. For instance, there are three thorium: Th4H15, ThH9, ThH10 four yttrium: YH4, YH6, YH7, YH9. In addition to hydroge...

Two new chiral sandwich-type bis(phthalocyaninato) yttrium double-decker complexes including the homoleptic species (R)- and (S)-Y[Pc(OBNP)4]2 (1) and a heteroleptic analogue (R)- and (S)-Y(Pc)[Pc(OBNP)4] (2) {Pc = unsubstituted phthalocyaninate; [Pc(OBNP)4] = tetrakis(dinaphtho[1,2-e:1',2'-g]-1,4-(dioxocine)[2,3-b;2',3'-k;2'',3''-t;2''',3'''-c']phthalocyaninate)} have been synthesized and spec...

In this thesis, we report on a process to obtain yttrium oxide nanosized particles doped with ytterbium and a sintering method that leads to transparent polycrystalline ceramics. First, nano-powder of yttria was fabricated from a precursor with transient morphology, i.d. yttrium hydroxynitrate platelets that decompose into spherical yttria nano-particles during calcination. The influence of dif...
