N-propylsalicylidene based on silica as ion exchanger (IE) was used for the separation by complexation of Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Cr3+, Fe3+, and UO22+ from their parent solutions. IE and its metal complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and infrared spectra, in addition to thermal analysis in atmospheric pressure. The mode of chelation and the proposed geometric str...

INTRODUCTION The use of metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) increased in the last decades. A release of metal products (i.e. particles, ions, metallo-organic compounds) in these implants may cause local and/or systemic adverse reactions. Metal ion concentrations in body fluids are surrogate measures of metal exposure. OBJECTIVE To systematically summarize and critically appraise...

Nano-electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was used to study the conformational consequences of metal ion binding to the colicin E9 endonuclease (E9 DNase) by taking advantage of the unique capability of ESI-MS to allow simultaneous assessment of conformational heterogeneity and metal ion binding. Alterations of charge state distributions on metal ion binding/release...

First, Schiff base iminopyridine ligand has been prepared by the condensation between primary amine, dimethylaniline and active carbonyl group of pyridine carboxaldehyde, then related complexes were synthesized in methanol solution. The ligand and metal complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV, IR, 1 H NMR and 13CNMR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic data of metal complexes ind...

A method is described to obtain multicollision dissociation threshold (MCDT) values. These values provide relative reaction thresholds for dissociation in the three major gas-phase fragmentation reactions of oligosaccharides complexed to alkali metal ions. The quasimolecular ions are produced using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier transform mass spectrometry. The MCDTs for al...

Dithiocarbamate chitosan, an insoluble derivative obtained from carbon disulfide, and N-(o—carboxybenzyl) chitosan and N—car— boxymethyl chitosan, two water—soluble olyamoholytes obtained from phthalaldehydic acid and glyoxylic acid, can be used for removal of metal ions from dilute solutions. Their characteristic properties are described in terms of infrared, ultraviolet and circular dichroism...

Fungi consists of varied group of heterotrophs, which due to their unique properties show applications in different fields. Nanotechnology covers diverse fields of science and technology, and the fabrication of nanoparticles using the biological route is the need of the day. The introduction of biological agents for the synthesis of nanoparticles has encouraged the researchers to search for the...

Unprecedented multi-channel TiN micro/nanotubes as well as various metal nitride nanofibers, including TiN, VN, NbN and ternary metal nitride nanofibers, were fabricated by a template free electrospinning method combined with post-nitridation.

OBJECTIVES Alarm over the reported high failure rates for metal-on-metal (MoM) hip implants as well as their potential for locally aggressive Adverse Reactions to Metal Debris (ARMDs) has prompted government agencies, internationally, to recommend the monitoring of patients with MoM hip implants. Some have advised that a blood ion level >7 µg/L indicates potential for ARMDs. We report a systema...
