o-xylylenebis (triphenylphosphonium peroxymonosulfate) (1) was easily prepared from an aqueous solution of oxone and o-xylylenebis- (triphenylphosphonium bromide). this compound (1) is a useful and selective reagent for conversion of oximes, semicarbazones and phenylhydrazones to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. the reaction was carried out under solvent-free conditions and in the presence...

The application of organoaluminium compounds as components of organometallic or complex systems is connected with a knowledge of their reactions with electron donors. Reactions with nitriles, ketones, esters, ethers, alkyl chlorides, vinyl chloride, and acid chlorides as the electron donors were investigated. The first stage of the reaction of an organoaluminium compound with an electron donor ...

Silica gel loaded with saturated Al(N03)3. 10. H20 solution proved to be an efficient absorbent for the elimination of the interference of fluorine in the microdetermination of carbon and hydrogen in organofluorine compounds. The reagent is cheap, readily available and easily prepared. Three grams are sufficient for 25 determinations. Samples are burnt in a flow of oxygen using the rapid straig...

1. Plasma aluminium concentration and urinary aluminium excretion were monitored for 4.5 h in rats after the administration of 25 micrograms or 800 micrograms of aluminium as an intravenous bolus, either as aluminium chloride or as aluminium citrate (i.e. aluminium chloride together with sodium citrate). 2. Immediately after the bolus aluminium administration, the plasma aluminium concentration...

The single electron transfer (SET) reactivity of metal alkyls and hydrides is currently receiving growing attention [1-3]. Thus, it has been demonstrated that aluminum species AIX3 (X = R [4], H [5], Cl [6]) can react with reducible carbonyl compounds to form aluminium containing radical complexes [4-6]. Besides carbonyl compounds, certain N-heterocycles can also be used as electron transfer su...

Investigation of aluminium uptake by human erythrocytes was the major aim of this study. Packed red blood cells were incubated in Earle's medium (pH 7.4) containing varying concentrations of aluminium (0-160 /lg/J) as AIK(SO.), and aluminium content of the cells were determined using flameless atomic absorption. There was significant increase in aluminium content of the cells. Addition of 5...

A series of aluminium complexes containing anilido-pyrazolate ligands is described. Reactions of four anilido-pyrazolate ligand precursors, HNPhPz, HNPhTriMePz, HNPhOMePz, or HNPhSMePz [HNPhPz = ortho-C6H4(NH-phenyl)(1-pyrazole); HNPhTriMePz = ortho-C6H4(NH-2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)(1-pyrazole); HNPhOMePz = ortho-C6H4(NH-2-methoxyphenyl)(1-pyrazole); HNPhSMePz = ortho-C6H4(NH-2-methylthiophenyl)(1...

Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, 2003 luminium (Al; CAS # 7429-90-5; molecular weight 26.98) is a silvery-white, pliable metal usually found in compounds as Al 3+ (WHO 1997). It is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust, and the third most common element (Sparling and Lowe 1996). Aluminium is very light (density = 2.70 g·cm), capable of being hammered, cast, drawn out, ma...

Several (Al,Si,N) compounds have been obtained by LPCVD in a vertical hot-wall reactor using aluminium trichloride, silicon tetrachloride and ammonia as source gases, with nitrogen as the carrier gas. In order to determine both their structure and local chemical composition, several deposits have been examined by analytical transmission electron microscopy combining electron diffraction (ED), h...

The effects of aluminium and aluminium-citrate on some serum parameters related to carbohydrate metabolism in male Wistar rats were investigated. Daily intraperitoneal administrations of 1 mg/kg body weight of aluminium or aluminiumcitrate (1: 1) for 50 days led to the elevation of serum insulin by 24 or 40 percent respectively, with the concomitant decrease in serum glucose concentrations ...
