Complexes of 1,2,4-triazole (trz) and of the 1,2,4triazolate ion (trz') have been described before. Most of the papers dealt with copper compounds, especially CuCl2(trz), CuCl(trz')(H20 ) 2 and Cu(trz')2 1_n. J a r v i s 12 determined the structure of CuCl2(trz). It is a polynuclear complex, the copper ions being bridged by two chloride ions and a 1,2-bicoordinating triazole ligand. The linear ...

Parameters governing the rates of mass transfer of the individual components of four synthetic dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) mixtures into the aqueous phase were evaluated. The DNAPL mixtures, composed of toluene and eight polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), were designed to serve as models for coal tars and creosotes. The reactor employed provided a relatively stable interface b...

The exposure of Estonian cokery workers to polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons at an oil shale processing plant was assessed by occupational hygiene and biomonitoring measurements. To assess the external dose of exposure to polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene concentrations were measured from the breathing zone of workers during a workshift. Skin contamination with pyrene...

The complex-formation equilibria of the system Ni(II)/β-alaninehydroxamic acid (β-AlaHA, LH) have been studied in solution by using potentiometry, calorimetry, ESI mass spectrometry and UV-Visible spectrophotometry. A series of mononuclear and polynuclear species have been identified at different pH and for different Ni(II)/ligand ratios. Among the polymetallic species, we have identified the 1...

The field of heteropolymetallic complexes is of current interest in connection with the structures and roles of polymetallic active sites in biological systems [1], and the design of new molecular materials with magnetic, optical and electrical properties [2,3]. Among various relevant systems, oxamido-bridged polynuclear complexes [2,4] and phenolato-oxygen-bridged macrocyclic complexes [5,6] r...
