The ophiolitic complex of Sahneh-Harsin is composed of rock units such as gabbro, basalt, diabasic dikes, diorite and plagiogranite. The geochemical studies show that primitive magma has been sub-alkaline tholeiitic Mg-rich and K-poor. These data show enrichment of light rare earth elements (LREE) and depletion of heavy rare earth (HREE). The ratio of NbTa in the basalts is between 16.19 and 18...

The Kermanshah Ophiolite Complex (KOC) lies in the structural – tectonic zone of western Iran in northern part of Zagros main thrust and is a part of highly dismembered Kermanshah – Panjvin Ophiolitic belt. The best outcrops of the sheeted and isolated dykes in this complex are present in south of Sahneh area. They are basic in composition. The geochemical studies show parent magma is in its in...

Gushk chromite mine is one of the largest and the most important chromite mines in Iran that is located in southwest of Kerman Province, 5 km north of Baft city. In this open pit active mine, about 60 tons of chromite is extracted per day. The studied chromitites are podiform type and form discontinuous layers or lenses surrounded by completely serpentinized dunites. The chromites with average ...

this work is presented in five parts. in the first part preparation of the starting complex [pt(c^n)cl(dmso)], 1, in which c^n = n(1),c(2?)-chelated, deprotonated 2-phenylpyridine, and dmso = dimethylsulfoxide, and its reaction with 1 equiv of the biphosphine ligands bis(diphenylphosphino)amine, dppa, or bis(diphenylphosphino)methane, dppm, to give the complex [pt(c^n)cl(dppa)], 2, or [pt(c^n)c...

Amphibolitic rocks are the main part of the north of Khoy metamorphic complex. Petrographicaly these rocks are normal amphibolite, muscovite amphibolite, biotite amphibolite, garnet amphibolite and pyroxene amphibolite. The protolith of these rocks is mainly igneous. These rocks belong to tholeiitic and calc-alkaline series and Ocean Floor Basalt and Arc tectonic setting. These two distinctive ...
