objective: this study investigated tissue damages induced by chronic subcutaneous administration of nano- and microparticles of manganese dioxide (mno2) on the liver, kidneys and testes of rats. methods: rats (n=210) were divided into three groups: control, mno2 nanoparticle injected and mno2 microparticle injected. the experimental groups received subcutaneous injections with either nano- or m...

A three-dimensional coordination polymer based on a manganese-doped polyoxotitanate nanocluster, {Ti13Mn4O16[MeC(CH2O)3]4(OEt)12Br4}∞, has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. It is the first framework of doped polyoxotitanate nanoclusters reported in the literature. Compared with anatase, its band gap is reduced from 3.19 to 2.57 eV.

A high yielding manganese dioxide mediated oxidation of benzylamines to the corresponding amides has been developed under mild reaction conditions. The mechanism for the conversion has been explored by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and the role of both manganese dioxide and molecular sieves in the reaction elucidated.

1. Suspensions of manganese dioxide given intravenously to the cat are virtually eliminated from the body in 1 week (168 hours). 2. As this process of removal goes on, there is a transfer of manganese from lungs to liver. 3. Similar suspensions of manganese dioxide given intravenously to rabbits are excreted more rapidly, owing to the fact that in these animals the lungs are not involved and th...

The development of green, selective, and efficient catalysts, which can aerobically oxidize a variety of alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones, is of both economic and environmental significance. We report here the synthesis of a novel aerobic oxidation catalyst, a zeolite-confined nanometer-sized RuO(2) (RuO(2)-FAU), by a one-step hydrothermal method. Using the spatial constrai...

Laboratory and full-scale experiments were conducted for enhancing the coagulation of stabilised surface waters with high organic content by permanganate preoxidation. It was indicated that permanganate preoxidation enhanced both the processes of coagulation and filtration of selected surface waters, River Songhua water, Qitaihe Reservoir water and Ba Reservoir water. Permanganate preoxidation ...
