We describe the structural and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility properties of an unusual homoleptic bimetallic iron(III) thiocyanate tetraanion. This work represents the first structurally characterized bis(μ-1,3-thiocyanato) dimer of iron(III). A weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction is observed between the two iron(III) ions, which is supported by broken symmetry density fun...

Background Iron deficiency is one of the most prevalent anemia. 2 million people in the world suffer from it. All young girls are at higher risk for iron defiency anemia, therefore,diagnosis and prevention of this anemia in the young age is very important. Materials and Methods: A total of 1500 high school girls educated in five regions of education of Mashhad (ages 14-18 years) were studi...

An unprecedented encapsulation of an exogenous sodium ion by iron(III) tris(hydroxamate)s was observed upon crystallization of an iron(III) complex with isonicotinylhydroxamic acid. The sodium cation is bound by bridging coordination of the amide oxygen atoms from two mononuclear iron(III) fac-tris(hydroxamate)s.

Mononuclear nonheme high-spin iron(III)-acylperoxo complexes bearing an N-methylated cyclam ligand were synthesized, spectroscopically characterized, and investigated in olefin epoxidation and alkane hydroxylation reactions. In the epoxidation of olefins, epoxides were yielded as the major products with high stereo-, chemo-, and enantioselectivities; cis- and trans-stilbenes were oxidized to ci...

Dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction is the process in which microorganisms transfer electrons to external ferric iron [Fe(III)], reducing it to ferrous iron [Fe(II)] without assimilating the iron. A wide phylogenetic diversity of microorganisms, including archaea as well as bacteria, are capable of dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction. Most microorganisms that reduce Fe(III) also can transfer electrons ...

Tripodal hexadentate hydroxypyridin-4-ones are increasingly utilised as iron(III) and gallium(III) ligands, their attachment to proteins being particularly useful for positron emission tomography (PET). A widely studied tripodal ligand NTA(BuHP)3, which is reported to form 1:1 iron(III) and gallium(III) complexes in aqueous, media forms 2:2 complexes under physiological conditions. This importa...

Experiments were carried out to examine redox transformations of copper and chromium by acidophilic bacteria (Acidithiobacillus, Leptospirillum, and Acidiphilium), and also of iron (III) reduction by Acidithiobacillus spp. under aerobic conditions. Reduction of iron (III) was found with all five species of Acidithiobacillus tested, grown aerobically on elemental sulfur. Cultures maintained at p...

Interaction between apo-transferrin and several iron(III) chelates has been investigated in terms of the capillary electrophoresis method. Based on the results, it has been clarified that (i) a binuclear iron(III) unit with an oxo-bridge is necessary for the facile transfer of an iron atom from the iron(III) chelate to apo-transferrin, and (ii) the renal proximal tubular injuries by Fe(III)-nit...

Iron overload is increasingly being connected to insulin resistance in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. Free iron causes the assembly of reactive oxygen species that invariably steer the body's homeostasis towards oxidative stress-mediated diabetic complications. This study aims to assess the serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and percentage transferrin saturation (Tsat) o...

Determination of the stability constants of dissolved iron(III) glycine system in water solution (I = 0.6 mol L in NaClO4, pH = 7.3 at 25±1 oC) using differential pulse cathodic voltammetry (DPCV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) was performed out on a static mercury drop electrode (SMDE). By choosing voltammetry as analytical tool, measurements with lower iron(III) concentrations (10 mol L), at the...
