Biochemical studies of phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) and
mercuric acetate toxicity in rats carried out during this investigation
were (1) the metabolism of ²⁰³Hg(Ac)₂ and ²⁰³Hg-PMA within kidney and liver tissues following oral
ingestion,
(2) the effect on some
soluble enzyme activities and determinations of ²⁰³Hg binding in the
enzyme fractions,...
Part I describes the synthesis of bis(fac-S)((tris)2-aminoethanethiolatoiron( III))iron(III) chloride. The compound was first discovered during an attempt to prepare a ternary complex of iron, thiolate and pi-acid ligand. The compound is a reasonably air-stable iron(III)-thiolate that contains a linear tri-iron cluster with each iron bridged to the adjacent iron by...
The purpose of this work was to investigate possibilities
of raising lavender in Oregon of desirable qualities and.
yield. This was carried out by analysis and study of the
properties of the oil obtained therefrom in order that a
comparison with other kinds of lavender oil might be made.
It...
The absorption, translocation and metabolism of a new
herbicide, n-propyl-C¹⁴ N, N-di-n-propyl-thiolcarbamate (PDPC), were
studied in both peanut and soybean plants. These studies were
carried out on plants of different ages and treated at two rates of
application. The residue content of the plants was also determined
from germination to...
The mechanism of phosphate adsorption by clay minerals was
reported by Stout. He showed that the loss of water of kaolinite in
the presence of KC1, K₂SO₄ or KH₂PO₄ was due to an exchange reaction
between anion and hydroxyl groups from clay minerals. Also,
Kelly and Midgley reported that the...
