Recent evidence indicates that high-density lipoprotein triglyceride (HDL-Tg) may be a predictor of coronary artery disease. We examined three methods for HDL-Tg measurement, comparing results obtained by measurement of Tg in the supernate after heparin-manganese chloride (heparin-Mn) precipitation of EDTA-treated plasma (I) with results obtained after preparative ultracentrifugation (II and II...

The syntheses and characterization of complexes of manganese(II) and cobalt(III) with the potentially hexadentate ligand N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine, C26H28N6 (tpen), are described. The monomeric manganese(II) complex [Mn(C26H28N6)(H2O)](ClO4)2 (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with 4 formula units in a cell of dimensions a = 15.080(1) Å, b = 10.101(1...

Manganese has attracted significant recent attention due to its abundance, low toxicity, and versatility in catalysis. In the present study, a series of manganese (III) complexes supported by salan ligands have been synthesized characterized, their activity as catalysts hydrosilylation carbonyl compounds was examined. While chloride exhibited minimal catalytic efficacy without activation silver...
