Lithium and nickel complexes bearing quinoline-based ligands have been synthesized and characterized. Reaction of 8-azidoquinoline with Ph(2)PNHR (R = p-MeC(6)H(4), Bu(t)) affords N-(8-quinolyl)iminophosphoranes RNHP(Ph(2))=N(8-C(9)H(6)N) (1a, R = p-MeC(6)H(4); 1b, R = Bu(t). C(9)H(6)N = quinolyl)). Reaction of 1a with (DME)NiCl(2) generates a nickel complex [NiCl(2){N(8-C(9)H(6)N)=P(Ph(2))NH(p...

To better understand the molecular mechanism(s) involved in the essentiality, toxicity, and/or carcinogenicity of nickel compounds, a mRNA differential display technique was used to identify gene(s) that were specifically induced by these carcinogens. Differential expression of several genes was observed in human lung A549 cells exposed to nickel subsulfide. One gene, Cap43, which expressed a 3...

Production of high added value chemicals such as BTEX by means catalytic fast pyrolysis MDF residues is a promising and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels, abundantly produced worldwide. Generation toxic compounds during pyrolyses was minimized with pre-treatments yeasts or hot water resulting in maximum removal 87.9% nitrogen when used at 80 °C, for 3 h. Nickel-modified beta ...
