Crystal structure and DFT calculations of methanol {E-N′-(2-hydroxybenzlidene)benzohydrazido}dioxidomolybdenum (VI) complex

The crystal and molecular structure of methanol {E-N′-(2-hydroxybenzlidene)benzohydrazido}dioxidomolybdenum (VI) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. B3LYP/DZP basis set theoretical calculations nicely reproduce the X-ray experimental geometry. The obtained results are discussed in connection with the electronic and structural properties of the compound.     

SULPHUR ORGANIC COMPOUNS AS PROTECTORS FOR RADIATION

Abstract

The development of the scientific principles of the protective action of various compounds and in particular sulphur organic compounds for irradiation is one of the most actual problem in the modern radiation chemistry and radiobiology. With that in view the radiolysis of the various sulphur organic compounds in stationary and pulse conditions both in pure state and in model systems has been studied and the main regularities of their radiolytic behaviour are established. The primary processes of the radiolysis of sulphurorganic compounds containing SHY -S-, NH2, COOH, C H functional groups are investipated and the radical products of the radiolysis- anion- andcation-radicals, thiyl and alkyl radicals are identified and their reactivity is studied in irradiation field.     

Determination of elements in kidney,serum and urine of Wistar rats with Acute Renal Insufficiency using NAA

In this investigation ions in serum, urine and kidney of Wistar rats (control group) and Wistar with Acute Renal Insufficiency (ARI) were quantified using instrumental neutron activation analysis. The measurements in serum and urine were performed before, during and after ischemia-induced ARI. The measurements in kidney were performed for the control and ARI groups. Also, a comparative analysis between the concentration ratios before, during and after ARI was performed in urine and serum samples for both groups. The variations results for Cu in serum and I in urine, before and after ischemia-induced ARI, suggest that these elements must be also investigated in renal dysfunction.
