basil (ocimum basilicum l.) belongs to the lamiaceae family as a medicinal plant used in traditional medicine in iran. the purpose of this test is to evaluate the effect of nano fe-chelate under salinity levels on the plant physiology and morphology characteristics. in this experiment  investigated the effect of nano fe-chelate and salinity stress on growth parameters, photosynthetic leaves rat...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Gd-chelate on renal function, iron parameters and oxidative stress in rats with CRF and a possible protective effect of the antioxidant N-Acetylcysteine (NAC). Male Wistar rats were submitted to 5/6 nephrectomy (Nx) to induced CRF. An ionic-cyclic Gd (Gadoterate Meglumine) was administrated (1.5 mM/KgBW, intravenously) 21 days after Nx. Cleara...

Chestnut shell melanin can be used as a colorant and antioxidant, and fractionated into three fractions (Fr. 1, Fr. 2, and Fr. 3) with different physicochemical properties. Antioxidant activities of the fractions were comparatively evaluated for the first time. The fractions exhibited different antioxidative potential in different evaluation systems. Fr. 1, which is only soluble in alkaline wat...

BACKGROUND The coordination chemistry of cadmium(II) with diamine ligands is of particular interest. The most common structure around cadmium(II) center in their complexes is tetrahedral, that is due the octet rule obeyed. Nevertheless, five and six-coordinated complexes are also well known. Now a day, many cadmium(II) complexes with chelate ligands were synthesized for their structural or appl...

The formation of novel chiral bidentate phosphoroamides structures able to promote Lewis base-catalyzed Lewis acid-mediated reactions was investigated. Two different classes of phosphoroamides were synthetized: the first class presents a phthalic acid/primary diamine moiety, designed with the aim to perform a self-assembly recognition process through hydrogen bonds; the second one is characteri...

In order to develop platinum complexes with selective activity in primary and secondary bone malignancies and with the aim to optimize antitumor activity, platinum(II) complexes with aminotris(methylenephosphonic acid) as bone-seeking (osteotropic) ligand have been synthesized, characterized and tested in the cisplatin-sensitive ovarian carcinoma cell line CH1. As non-leaving diamine ligands, w...

This contribution explores the effect of the bridging diamine upon the aggregation properties of a Zn(II) Schiff-base complex, , both in the solid state and in solution. The X-ray structure of , resulting from the harvest of good quality crystals using chloroform and diethyl ether as solvents, shows the presence of a densely packed dimer in the solid state which pentacoordinates two Zn atoms in...

A number of new Pt(II) complexes is described having the general formula PtCl(2)(LL), where LL is a chelating diamine ligand. Ligands LL were chosen as D,L-2,3-diaminopropionic acid and its ethyl ester, and D,L-2,4-diaminobutyric acid and its ethyl ester. The compounds were characterized using analytical and spectroscopic methods. The influence of the size of the chelate ring and its functional...

4-Methyl-5-imidazolecarboxyaldehyde (HL) reacts with copper() perchlorate to give the complex [Cu(HL)3](ClO4)2. Its X-ray structure reveals that three ligands are bonded to the copper() ion in a bidentate chelate fashion through the imidazole nitrogens and aldehyde oxygen atoms, leading to a CuN3O3 chromophore. Carbonyl co-ordination to copper() is not usual, in fact there are very few re...

Formation damage has been observed in several oil reservoirs and production equipment in Iranian oil fields. Laboratory and field testing confirmed that the primary cause of damage was the build-up of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate and strontium sulfate scale either in the perforation tunnels or in the formation sandstone nears the wellbore. Conventional acid treatments could dissolve this ...
