The coordination chemistries of the tetradentate N2O2-type ligands N-(2-pyridylmethyl)iminodiethanol (H2pmide) and N-(2-pyridylmethyl)iminodiisopropanol (H2pmidip) have been investigated with nickel(ii) and cobalt(ii/iii) ions. Three novel complexes prepared and characterized are [(Hpmide)2Ni3(CH3COO)4] (1), [(Hpmide)2Co3(CH3COO)4] (2), and [(pmidip)2Co3(CH3COO)4] (3). In 1 and 2, two terminal ...

Chelating resins have been considered to be suitable materials for the recovery of heavy metals in water treatments. A chelating resin based on modified poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) with Melamine was synthesized. This modified resin was further reacted with 1,2-diaminoethan in the presence of ultrasonic irradiation for the preparation of a tridimensional chelating resin on the nanoscale f...

The corrosion inhibition performance of acetylacetonate complexes of zinc(II), manganese(II), cobalt(II) and copper(II) on the mild steel substrate in 1M H3PO4 was studied using DC polarization. It was seen that the mentioned complexes decreased corrosion rate of mild steel in phosphoric acid media due to the adsorption on metal surface. The potential of mild steel shifted toward more active po...

A study of polyaniline (PANI) doping with various cobalt compounds, that is, cobalt(II) chloride, cobalt(II) acetate, and cobalt(II) salen, is presented. The catalysts were prepared by depositing cobalt compounds onto the polymer surface. PANI powders containing cobalt ions were obtained by one- or two-step method suspending PANI in the following acetonitrile/acetic acid solution or acetonitril...

Concanavalin A (Con A) purification method was developed by using calcium alginate cellulose beads containing cobalt (II) ions. The yield of Con A obtained by calcium alginate cellulose beads containing cobalt (II) ions was 6.8% as compared to 3.65% yield obtained by Sephadex G-50 method. Purified Con A agglutinated trypsin-treated rabbit red blood cells. FTIR spectra showed the presence of β s...

oxime extractants 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl benzaldehyde oxime (hl1) and 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy benzaldehyde oxime (hl2) were synthesized and characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods. suitable lipophilic nature of the prepared extractants allowed examining the ability of these molecules for extraction-separation of copper from its mixture with normally associated meta...

A rapid flotation method for separation and enrichment of ultra trace amounts of copper(II), cadmium(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) ions from water samples is established. At pH 6.5 and with sodium dodecylsulfate used as a foaming reagent, Cu2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ and Co2+ were separated simultaneously with 2-aminocyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid (ACDA) added to 1 l of aqueous solution. The propose...

A novel two-dimensional coordination polymer of the formula [Co(dca)2(atz)2]n () resulted from assembling trans-bis(2-amino-1,3,5-triazine)cobalt(ii) motifs by dicyanamide spacers. Variable-temperature dc and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements of show that the high-spin cobalt(ii) ions act as single ion magnets (SIMs).

Alpha-synuclein filaments are the major component of intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies characteristic of Parkinson's disease and related disorders. The process of alpha-synuclein filament formation proceeds via intermediate or protofibrillar species, each of which may be cytotoxic. Because high levels of calcium(II) and other metal ions may play a role in disease pathogenesis, we investigated t...
