Exchange of the guest Mn2+ ions in Mn3[(Mn4Cl)3(BTT)8(CH3OH)10]2 (1-Mn2+; BTT=1,3,5-benzenetristetrazolate) with selected cations results in the formation of isostructural framework compounds 1-M (M=Li+, Cu+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+). Similar to the parent compound, the new microporous materials are stable to desolvation and exhibit a high H2 storage capacity, ranging from 2.00 to 2.29 wt ...

The title compound, Rb+·H3CN2O-, has been crystallized in liquid ammonia as a reaction product of the reductive ammonolysis of the natural compound streptozocin. Elemental rubidium was used as reduction agent as it is soluble in liquid ammonia, forming a blue solution. Reductive bond cleavage in biogenic materials under kinetically controlled conditions offers a new approach to gain access to s...

The interest in the development of edible and biodegradable films has increased because it is every day more evident that non-degradable materials are doing much damage to the environment. Blends based on different ratios of plasticized poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and Tannin compound were prepared by solution casting in the form of thin films. Then the blend films w...

Recent studies have reported an interesting class of semiconductor materials that bridge the gap between semiconductors and half-metallic ferromagnets. These materials, called spin gapless semiconductors, exhibit a band gap in one of the spin channels and a zero band gap in the other and thus allow for tunable spin transport. Here, we report the first experimental verification of the spin gaple...

We have established a procedure for removing interfering materials from extracts of geological and biological samples, in order to determine precise compound-specific nitrogen isotopic compositions of amino acids. We employed cation-exchange chromatography of protein and non-protein amino acids prior to derivatization for gas chromatographic separation. The average recovery of a standard amino ...

Solving the crystal structures of novel phases with nanoscale dimensions resulting from rapid quenching is difficult due to disorder and competing polymorphic phases. Advances in computer speed and algorithm sophistication have now made it feasible to predict the crystal structure of an unknown phase without any assumptions on the Bravais lattice type, atom basis, or unit cell dimensions, provi...

Using phenylphosphonic acid, simple tungstate and copper(ii) compounds as starting materials, an organic-inorganic hybrid Strandberg-type organophosphotungstate, {[(Cu(H2O)(μ-bipy))2(C6H5PO3)2W5O15]}n (bipy = 4,4'-bipyridyl) (1), was assembled successfully under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. Compound 1 represents the first example of a ...

a substantial amount of evidence has proposed an important role for cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) enzyme in brain diseases and affiliate disorders. the purpose of this research was studying the effects of cox-2 selective inhibition on haloperidol-induced catatonia in an animal model of drug overdose and parkinson’s disease (pd). in this study, the effect of acute and sub-chronic oral administration ...

in the course of an evaluation of various schistosomicidal drugs in iran, the effect of an organo-phosphorus compound in the-treatment of 45 mild cases of urinary bilhariziasis was assessed and the drug was given in 3 doses of 10 mg/kg body weight each with 3-week intervals. follow-up examinations undertaken 3 weeks after the 1st, 2nd and 3rd doses as well as 3 months after completion of therap...
