We present the ?3-coordination of 2-phosphaethynthiolate anion in complex (PN)2La(SCP) (2) [PN=N-(2-(diisopropylphosphanyl)-4-methylphenyl)-2,4,6-trimethylanilide)]. Structural comparison with dinuclear thiocyanate-bridged (PN)2La(?-1,3-SCN)2La(PN)2 (3) and azide-bridged (PN)2La(?-1,3-N3)2La(PN)2 (4) complexes indicates that [SCP]? coordination mode is mainly governed by electronic, rather than...

Lanthanum zinc penta-borate, LaZnB(5)O(10), was synthesized by flux-supported solid-state reaction. It is a member of the LnMB(5)O(10) (Ln = rare earth ion and M = divalent metal ion) structure type. The crystal shows a three-dimensional structure constructed from two-dimensional {[B(5)O(10)](5-)}(n) layers with the lanthanum (coordination number nine) and zinc (coordination number six) ions fi...

BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), a complication of chronic kidney disease, has been linked to reduced quality and length of life. High serum phosphate levels that result from CKD-MBD require phosphate-lowering agents, also known as phosphate binders. The objective of this systematic review is to compare the effects of available phosphate binders on laborato...

A novel activation route for the preparation of carbon-based adsorbents functionalized with lanthanum and their application arsenic adsorption was proposed. This procedure is based on carbon dioxide at room temperature, which could allow to reduce energy consumption adsorbent cost. comparison this approach respect conventional thermal 800 °C under N2 atmosphere performed biochar from avocado se...

A facile spray drying technique has been developed for large-scale and template-free production of nanoporous silica with controlled morphology, large pore size, and high pore volume, using commercially available fumed silica, Aerosil 200, as a sole precursor. This approach can be applied to the preparation of functional nanoporous materials, in this study, lanthanum oxide functionalised silica...

BACKGROUND Hyperphosphataemia is a risk factor for arterial calcification contributing to the high cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. Calcium-based phosphate binders can induce hypercalcaemia and are associated with progression of vascular calcification. Therefore, the effect of lanthanum carbonate, a non-calcium phosphate binder, on the development of vascular ca...

Background: Iron-based phosphate binders are widely used in hemodialysis, to avoid the increased mortality associated with high serum phosphate in dialysis patients. However, comparative studies on the effects of phosphate binders are currently limited. In the present study, a comparative analysis of ferric citrate (FC), sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SF), and lanthanum carbonate (LC) was performed ...
