The preparation and characterization of three novel (4)N-monosubstituted bis(thiosemicarbazone) ligands of 3,5-diacetyl-1,2,4-triazol series and their dinuclear platinum complexes are described. The crystal and molecular structure of the [Pt(μ-H(3)L(3))](2) complex derived of 3,5-diacetyl-1,2,4-triazol bis((4)N-p-tolylthiosemicarbazone), H(5)L(3), has been resolved by single crystal X-ray diffr...

A decentralized failure detection and isolation (FDI) methodology, which is robust with respect to model uncertainties and noise, is presented. Redundancy metrics are developed, and optimization problems are posed for the choices of robust parity relations. Closed-form solutions for some special failure cases are given. Connections are drawn with other disciplines, and the use of the metrics to...

      In the present study, aqueous solutions of some copper-complexing ligands were screened for their cytotoxicity using brine shrimp lethality test. Among the ligands tested, diacetyl-bis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazones) (ATSM) proved to be the most safe and non-toxic compound (2% lethality at 10 ppm), while pyruvaldehyde Bis(N4-methyl)thiosemicarbazone (P...
