Preliminary studies of the effects of rhenium salts on plants were initiated by the junior author at Harvard University during 1946 and 1947 under the direction of Professor K. V. Thimann. The interest in this metal was stimulated by his results in an earlier proj ect testing physiological effects of various unusual elements for which such data were not as yet available. In this project, which ...

Multiple possibilities for the coordination of fac-[Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+ to a protein have been determined and include binding to Asp, Glu, Arg and His amino-acid residues as well as to the C-terminal carboxylate in the vicinity of Leu and Pro. The large number of rhenium metal complex binding sites that have been identified on specific residues thereby allow increased target identification for the ...

Convenient methods to prepare solvated rhenium oxochlorides are described; these compounds should serve as useful starting materials for rhenium chemistry. Treatment of perrhenic acid, HReO(4), with chlorotrimethylsilane or with thionyl chloride, followed by addition of tetrahydrofuran, forms the new oxochloride complexes ReO(3)Cl(THF)(2) and ReOCl(4)(THF), respectively. Small amounts of two di...

The relevance of the article does not raise any doubts, especially in context modern consumption rhenium. Rhenium is an industrial metal that has gained increasing recognition and widely used only Russia but also foreign countries, mainly form alloys with other elements, imparting special physicochemical properties to based on wolfram molybdenum. most popular addition molybdenum tungsten are re...

BACKGROUND Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes exhibit immense potential as fluorescence imaging agents. However, only a handful of rhenium complexes have been utilized in biological imaging. The present study describes the synthesis of four novel rhenium complexes, their characterization and preliminary biological studies to assess their potential as biological imaging agents. RESULTS Four facial rh...

The novel antitumor system including cluster rhenium compounds and cisplatin (Re-Pt 4:1 system) has been recently presented [Anticancer Research, 2007]. The structural types of dirhenium(III) carboxylates with formulas Re2(RCOO)4Cl2, Re2(RCOO)3Cl3, cis-Re2(RCOO)2Cl4, trans-Re2(RCOO)2Cl4, Re2(HPO4)4Cl2, phosphates and mixed carboxylates – phosphates were the matter of concern. The binuclear clus...

the possibility of selective leaching process was investigated during molybdenite flue dust leaching to recover its rhenium content. the results show that addition of alcohols to water makes the medium less favorable for molybdenum transfer into aqueous phase. on the other hand, addition of small amounts of alcohols (5-15%) makes a noticeable separation of rhenium over molybdenum, but by increa...
