Tris(3-bromo-acetylacetonato) chromium(III) as an inert and very stable complex with a good leaving group was synthesized using as-prepared Cr(acetylacetonate)3. Highly ordered nanoporous silica (LUS-1), with some great features, was functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Then the as-prepared product was modified with tris(3-bromo-acetylacetonato) chromium(III) under mild reaction co...

In order to investigate the effect of humic acid (HA) and nano-calcium chelate on the cut flowers of gerbera cv. Dune, an experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with two factors and three replications in hydroponic conditions. The first factor included humic acid at 4 concentrations of 0 (control), 500, 1000, and 2000 mg L-1 as drench and the second factor was ass...

We have developed a rapid and reliable bacteriophage quantification method based on measurement of phage single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using switchable lanthanide chelate complementation probes. One oligonucleotide probe contains a non-fluorescent lanthanide ion carrier chelate and another probe is labeled with a light absorbing antenna ligand. Hybridization of the non-fluorescent complementation...

The carbene-C ,N chelate tetracarbonyl tungsten complex [(CO)4/ W C(Ph)NHC5H4N /-o ] (4), obtained from [(CO)5W / C(Ph)OMe] (3) and o -aminopyridine, reacts with iodine by oxidative decarbonylation to give a single isomer of the carbene-C ,N chelate tricarbonyl dihalogeno tungsten(II) complex [(CO)3I2/ W C(Ph)NHC5H4N /-o ] (5). The analogous reaction of 4 with bromine affords two interconvertin...

The antitumor activity of the copper(H) chelate of 3-ethoxy-2oxobutyraldehyde bis(thiosemicarbazone), Cu(II)KTS, against the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma in rats is shown, and the im portance of considering this chelate as the active intermediate in the mechanism of action of the free ligand, KTS, is indicated. The potentiation of the antitumor activity and toxicity of Cu(II)KTS by KTS and Vu(II) ...

holy basil (ocimum sanctum) is one of the important medicinal plant belongs to lamiaceae family. in order to evaluate the effect of foliar application of iron on iron and chlorophyll contents and photosynthetic parameters of holy basil, an experiment was conducted at research farm of department of horticultural science, shahid chamran university of ahvaz based on randomized complete block desig...

Nano-composite copper-zinc oxide (NCCZO) was deposited on borosilicate glass using a novel sol-gel/doctor-blade technique. The photocatalyst was prepared from copper acetylacetonate, zinc acetylacetonate, monoethanolamine (MEA) and citric acid monohydrate at 75 oC, aged for 1 d and annealed at 650 oC. The properties of the NCCZO nano-composite were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fi...

The stereoselective synthesis of a highly luminescent neutral Ir(III) complex comprising two bidentate chiral, cyclometalating phenylpyridine derivatives, and one acetylacetonate as ligands is described. The final complex and some intermediates were characterized by X-ray structural analysis, NMR-, CD-, and CPL-spectroscopy.
