The toxicity of tetra and trimethyl and propyl lead compounds has been studied after their administration to rats and rabbits. The toxicity to rats of tetramethyl lead has been compared with tetraethyl lead when given by inhalation. Both tetramethyl and tetrapropyl lead were found to be considerably less toxic than trimethyl and tripropyl lead. There was evidence of a slow rate of conversion of...

We present the first 3.315-Mbp assembled draft genome sequence of Flavobacterium succinicans strain DD5b. This bacterium is a phosphite-assimilating representative of the genus Flavobacterium isolated from guts of the zooplankton Daphnia magna.

The asymmetric unit of the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, Ru(3)(CO)(9)(μ-Ph(2)AsCH(2)AsPh(2))(P[OCH(CH(3))(2)](3)) or [Ru(3)(C(25)H(22)As(2))(C(9)H(21)O(3)P)(CO)(9)], contains two mol-ecules of the triangulo-triruthenium complex. The bis-(diphenyl-arsanyl)methane ligand bridges an Ru-Ru bond and the monodentate phosphite ligand binds to the third Ru atom. Both the arsine and phosphite l...

The (C(n)H(2n+6)N(2))[Mn(3)(HPO(3))(4)] (n = 3-8) compounds have been prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and characterized by X-ray diffraction data and spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of (C(3)H(12)N(2))[Mn(3)(HPO(3))(4)] has been solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The unit-cell parameters are a = 9.502(1), b = 5.472(1), c = 14.523(4) A, beta = 95.01(3) degrees, monoc...

Heteroleptic complexes, formed selectively by using a 1 : 1 combination of a sigma-donor and a pi-acceptor ligand, are involved in Rh- and Pd-catalysed reactions.
