Our preceding papers [1 — 3] referring to the quantitative study of nucleophilic addi­ tion reactions of isothiocyanates (ITC) deal with the reactivity of alkyl and particu­ larly aryl isothiocyanates with —OH ions, amino groups (of various amines and amino acids), and thioglycolate. Results thus obtained together with further analogous ones from investigation of the reactivity of ITC with othe...

The toxicity of arsenic and mercury is highly dependent on their unique chemical forms, mobility, bioavailability, biological roles. This places a strong demand specific metal species analysis rather than total quantification. Graphene oxide (GO) an excellent adsorbent for the extraction ions; however, functional moieties GO surface are not ion-specific. In this work, we chemically introduced t...

Quantum dots (QDs) have different properties: high electron density, magnetic moment, phosphorescence, photoluminescence (fluorescence), and strong optical absorption. The layer or ligands on the QDs surface has a vital role because they allow stabilization practical uses matrixes. Ligand exchange is commonly carried out methodology to incorporate functional groups that alter solubility, introd...

?,?-Dienes are an important class of monomers due to their utility in the synthesis cyclopolyolefins and reactive polyolefin intermediates. In this contribution, terpolymerization two ?,?-dienes (i.e., 1,5-hexadiene 1,7-octadiene) with ethylene various cyclic olefins [i.e., norbornene (NB), 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB), dicyclopentadiene (DCPD)] catalyzed by a chelated imido vanadium complex...

This study aimed to develop an intravesical delivery system of gemcitabine HCl for superficial bladder cancer in order to provide a controlled release profile, to prolong the residence time, and to avoid drug elimination via urination. For this aim, bioadhesive nanoparticles were prepared with thiolated chitosan (chitosan-thioglycolic acid conjugate) and were dispersed in bioadhesive chitosan g...

Condensation of 4-amino-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazoline-5-one with different aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes in dry toluene give schiff bases 3(a-g), which on reaction with thioglycolic acid and thiolactic acid in dry toluene give the corresponding 2,3-disubstituted-4-thiazolidinones 4(a-g) and 2,3-disubstituted-5-methyl-4thiazolidinones 5(a-g). The methylene carbon atom at the position ...

Iron in serum and urine specimens containing deferoxamine (a chelator used in treating acute iron intoxication) can be measured by the DuPont aca discrete-analyzer method for iron if 0.5 mL of a 100 mL/L solution of thioglycolic acid (mercaptoacetic acid) is added to the IRN-1 and IRN-2 test packs before their use. This reagent releases the unreactive chelated iron, allowing reliable colorimetr...
