Computer modelling techniques have been employed to qualitatively and quantitatively investigate the uptake and distribution of carbonate groups in the hydroxyapatite lattice. Two substitutional defects are considered: the type-A defect, where the carbonate group is located in the hydroxy channel, and the type-B defect, where the carbonate group is located at the position of a phosphate group. ...

Hydrological studies were made for 6 months covering monsoon, summer and transition periods in a reservoir, chiefly to understand the plankton productivity. The physical factors like temperature, light, pH and chemical factors like dissolved O , CO , carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate, phosphate, sulphate, calcium, 2 2 magnesium, sodium and potassium were estimated.

A new route to α-alkyl-α-fluoromethylenebisphosphonates, 2 has been developed starting from commercially available tetraethyl fluoromethylenebisphosphonate (1), and alkyl halides using either caesium carbonate in DMF or sodium dimsyl. De-esterification of 2 provided biologically important α-alkyl-α-fluoromethylenebisphosphonic acid, 3, while alkoxide-induced carbon-phosphorus bond cleavage of 2...
