Werndrup, Pia. 2005. Synthesis, Structure Determination, and Sol-Gel Processing of Heterometallic Heteroleptic Alkoxide Complexes of Late Transition Metals. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7026-9. The thesis describes synthesis of single-source precursors (SSP) for sol-gel preparation of thin films and nanocomposites. The structures of the SSPs were determined by singlecrysta...

Background: Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is characterized by its high organic content and refractory compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate compare the efficiency UV/O3 UV/ acetylacetone (UV/AcAc) processes for treatment pretreated OMW coagulation/microfiltration (C&M) process. Methods: In study, a laboratory-scale UV plug flow reactor with ancillary equipment fabricated. experimen...

We have developed a new class of MRI contrast agents that contain VO-chelated organic ligands, namely VO(acac)2. As contrast agents, vanadyl (VO ) chelates provided excellent T1 and T2 * contrasts compared to that of GdDTPA in high-resolution MR images of rodent tumors. This class of contrast agents is taken up by cancer cells that are highly glycolytic. In vivo MRI experiments demonstrated pre...

We report a simple, yet general, approach to monodisperse MPt (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) nanoparticles (NPs) by coreduction of M(acac)2 and Pt(acac)2 (acac = acetylacetonate) with oleylamine at 300 °C. In the current reaction condition, oleylamine serves as the reducing agent, surfactant, and solvent. As an example, we describe in details the synthesis of 9.5 nm CoPt NPs with their compositions c...

The nitrosation of acetylacetone (AcAc) has been revised in an aqueous acid medium of perchloric acid and buffers of mono-, di-, or tri-chloroacetic acid. The results show that in the presence of buffers, under conditions of [nit] ≪ [AcAc] (nit = sodium nitrite) the reaction cannot be studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy, contrary to the recently published paper by García-Rio et al. (J. Org. Chem., 2...

In the fourth sentence of the second paragraph under the subheading “[Pt(acac)2(DMS)] decreases expression and activity of MMP-2 and -9” in the Results section, the units for SB203580 should be listed in μM instead of mM. The correct sentence is: When SH-SY5Y cells were pretreated for 30 min with SB203580 (1 and 10 μM), and then with 0.50 μM [Pt(acac)2(DMS)] for 24 h, the inhibition of MMP-2 an...

Despite decades of study, it is still unclear whether regional brain glucose uptake is lower in the cognitively healthy elderly. Whether regional brain uptake of ketones (β-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate [AcAc]), the main alternative brain fuel to glucose, changes with age is unknown. We used a sequential, dual tracer positron emission tomography (PET) protocol to quantify brain (18)F-fluorod...

Two mononuclear complexes, [Ni(acac)2].0.5CH3OH (1) and[Co(acac)2NO3].2H2O (2) (acac = pentane-2,4-dione), have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with a = 9.295(4), b = 11.450(5), c = 12.974(6) A, V = 1379.1(11) A(3),beta = 92.854(7), and Z = 4. Complex 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P(-...
