We report on an example of confined magnetic ions with long spin coherence near room temperature. This was achieved by confining single Mn(2+) spins in colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and by dispersing the QDs in a proton-spin free matrix. The controlled suppression of Mn-Mn interactions and minimization of Mn-nuclear spin dipolar interactions result in unprecedentedly long phase mem...

In the title compound, [Mn(3)(C(8)H(10)O(4))(3)(C(18)H(10)N(4))(2)], one Mn atom and one cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate (chdc) ligand are located on centres of inversion. One of the two independent Mn atoms is seven-coordinate, binding to five carboxyl-ate O atoms from different chdc ligands and two phenanthrene N atoms from a dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (L) ligand, while the second Mn atom...

altogether 20 groundwater samples were collected around the lakan pb and zn mine in iran. samples were analyzed for 8 constituents including fe, pb, hg, mn, zn, cn, so4 and cl using standard method. the results show that the average concentrations of constituents were 0.01, 0.60, 0.10, 0.01, 0.40, 35, 0.01 and 5.95 mg/kg for fe, mn, pb, zn, hg, so4, cn and cl, respectively. the computed contami...

In the structure of the title compound, [Mn(C(11)H(8)N(5)O)(N(3))](n), the Mn atoms are hexa-coordinated by five N atoms and one O atom. The coordination polyhedron of the Mn atom is a slightly distorted octa-hedron. The Mn atoms are connected by azide anions with a μ(2)-1,1 mode and by 5-(8-quinolyloxymeth-yl)tetra-zolate ligands in a μ(2)-η(1)(N),η(3)-(N,N,O) fashion to form a two-dimensional...

PURPOSE Outcomes for early-stage breast cancer have improved. First-generation adjuvant chemotherapy trials reported a 0.27% 8-year cumulative incidence of myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myelogenous leukemia. Incomplete ascertainment and follow-up may have underestimated subsequent risk of treatment-associated marrow neoplasm (MN). PATIENTS AND METHODS We examined the MN frequency in 20,063 p...

Six isonitrongenous and isolipidic diets were formulated to feed 360 fish (mean initial body weight: 6.06 ± 0.02 g) with graded levels of sodium acetate (SA1 (0), SA2 (250 mg/kg), SA3 (500 SA4 (1000 SA5 (2000 SA6 (4000 mg/kg)) for 8 weeks. The results revealed that weight gain rate, specific growth inta...

The paper reports on the effect of substituting Mn for Fe on the magnetostrictive and related properties of Fe81−xMnxGa19 alloys. Samples of composition were prepared in polycrystalline form and were all single phase BCC. It is shown that the magnetostriction observed in Fe81Ga19 can be enhanced up to about 11% by Mn substitution with a maximum effect at x = 8. The change in the magnetostrictiv...

The title complex, [Mn(2)(C(8)H(7)O(3))(4)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·0.5CH(3)OH, is a carboxyl-ate-bridged dinuclear Mn(II) complex with four phenoxy-acetate ions and two 1,10-phenanthroline mol-ecules as ligands. Each of the four phenoxy-acetate anions bridges the pair of Mn atoms. The asymmetric unit is completed by a half-occupancy methanol solvent mol-ecule. Face-to-face π-π stacking inter-actions...

Background: Heavy metals have detrimental effects on the health of human being. The values of manganese (Mn) and lead (Pb) in some plant species and soil samples in an arid area of Iran were evaluated in this study. Methods: The values of Pb and Mn in 94 plant samples from 8 plant species and the related soil samples in 2010 were considered in Shahroud and Damghan, central Iran. Moreover, th...
