a pvc membrane cr(iii) ion selective electrode has been constructed using 2h-1,4-benzothioazine-2,3(4h)dione dioxime (btd) as membrane carrier. the influence of membrane composition on the electroderesponse was studied. the electrode exhibits a nernstian response over a cr(iii) concentration range of 1.0 x10 6 to 1.0>< 10-1 m (r = 0.99) with a slope of 19.5 ± 0.5 mv per decade of concentration,...

cerium oxide (ceo2) or ceria has been shown to be an interesting support material for noble metals in catalysts designed for emission control, mainly due to its oxygen storage capacity. ceria nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method. the precursor materials used in this research were cerium nitrate hexahydrate (as a basic material), potassium carbonate and potassium hydroxide (as pre...

an improved, simple, and facile synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones by employing three-component, one-pot condensation reaction of β-keto ester, aromatic aldehydes, and urea or n-methylurea using lacl3/clch2cooh as an inexpensive and green chemistry catalyst system under solvent-free conditions described. compared with the classicalbiginelli reaction conditions, this method has the adv...

the reaction between ni(ii), co(ii), cr(iii) bitrates, ni(ii) chloride and ambidentate a-keto ylide benzoylmethylenetriphenylphosphine (bppy) resulted in isolation of [ni(bppy)2](no3)2.2h2o, [ni(bppy)2]cl2, [co(bppy)2](no3)2 and [cr(bppy)3](no3)3; 2h2o. the compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and infrared 1hnmr spectroscopy, molar conductivity in solution and molecular weight mea...

approximately all sequenced archaeal and half of eubacterial genomes have some sort of adaptive immune system, which enables them to target and cleave invading foreign genetic elements by an rnai-like pathway. crispr–cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats–crispr-associated proteins) systems consist of the crispr loci with multiple copies of a short repeat sequence separa...

background: the incorporation of thallium-201 into 8-hydroxyquinoline was targeted for cell labeling due to interesting physical properties and wide availability of this nuclide as a single photon emission computed tomography (spect) radionuclide. materials and methods: thallium-201 (t1/2=3.04 d) in tl+ form was converted to tl3+ cation in presence of o3/6m hcl and di-isopropyl ether, controlle...

an octahedral cobalt(iii) complex, trans-[(me2bpb)co(bzlan)2]clo4 (1), with h2me2bpb = n,n’-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)dipicolinamide and bzlan = benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ir, uv-vis, and 1h nmr spectroscopy. the structure of this complex has been determined by x-ray crystallography. the me2bpb2– is a di-anionic tetradentate ligand furnishing a ...
