The reactions of K2PdCl4 with meso-diaminosuccinic acid (H2dasa) in 0.1 M HCl or its diethyl ester dihydrochloride Et2dasa.2HCl in neutralized aqueous solution yield cis-[Pd(H2dasa)Cl2](I) and cis-[Pd(Et2dasa)Cl2](II), respectively. These products were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and TG-DTA thermal analysis. The crystal of II is monoclinic, space group C2/c (a = 14.292(5), b = 14.636(5), c = 13.435(5) A, beta = 98.08(2) degrees, Z = 8, R = 0.041 and wR = 0.06). The Pd(II) atom exhibits a roughly square planar coordination with two Pd-N bonds (Et2dasa) (2.014(2) and 2.049(7) A) and two cis-imposed Pd-Cl bonds (2.294(2) and 2.303(2) A). Compound I reacts with 2,2'-bipyridine in neutral aqueous solution to give [Pd(2,2'-bipy)(dasa)].3H2O(III) in a process of cis-chloride substitution by 2,2'-bipy as a model N-heterocyclic chelating entity. The molecular and crystal structure of III is also reported. It was observed that both cis-dichloro-Pd(II) complexes having Pd(H2dasa) (acidic) and Pd-(Et2dasa)(esterified) chelate entities induce conformational changes in the covalent closed circular (ccc) form of pUC8 plasmid. Both compounds were assayed for antitumor activity in vitro against MDA-MB 468 and HL-60 human cancer cell lines. The results show that compounds I and II have values of ID50 lower than those of K2PdCl4, and also lower than those of diaminoacid ligands (meso-diaminosuccinic acid and meso-diaminosuccinate diethyl ester). Thus it is likely that the imposed cis-coordination of the chelating H2dasa or Et2dasa to the Pd(II) center increases the biological activity of these palladium(II) complexes.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) decomposition over a MnOx/ gamma-Al2O3 catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor was conducted in this study. The MnOx/gamma-Al2O3 powders were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method with aqueous solution of manganese nitrate. The catalysts were characterized by DTA-TGA, XRD, porosity analysis, SEM, EDX, and XPS. The results show that the main distinct weight loss is found at the temperature around 373 and 873 K,the MnO peaks (2theta = 34.9 degrees and 40.5 degrees) are only observed crystal phase on the fresh catalyst, the SEM image of the MnOx-impregnated gamma-Al2O3 support is much different from the calcined catalyst, and the Mn element quantity on the catalyst surface is higher than that of the impregnated support. The products and reactants distributions from the oxidation of TCE over MnOx/gamma-Al2O3 were analyzed by GC. The results show that the TCE conversion starts from 5% at 443 K and rises to very high values in the 673-873 K ranges and that the CO2 yield also pushes to 99% at the same temperature ranges. HCl and Cl2 are the other main products with little halogenated VOC intermediates.

The extraction behavior and phase behavior of TOPO (or TRPO)-kerosene/HCl-ZrOCl(2) systems have been investigated. The middle phase with bicontinuous structure is first used as both the Zr(IV) source and the template to prepare mesoporous material just by precipitation with aqua ammonia under low temperature. By this method, crystal mesoporous ZrO(2) powders with average d-values of 6.3 and 7.48 nm, respectively, have been obtained. TG-DTA, TEM, and XRD are adopted for the characterization of the synthesized sample.

The preparation and structural characterization of a novel Ti-O-Ti bonding complex constructed in the mono-lacunary alpha-Keggin polyoxometalate (POM), are described. The water-soluble, crystalline complex with a formula of K5H2[[{Ti(OH)(ox)}2(micro-O)](alpha-PW11O39)] x 13H2O 1 was prepared in 30.2% (0.60 g scale) yield in a 1 : 3 molar-ratio reaction of the tri-lacunary species of alpha-Keggin POM, Na9[A-PW9O34] x 19H2O, with the titanium(IV) source, K2TiO(ox)2 x 2H2O (H2ox = oxalic acid), in HCl-acidic solution (pH 0.08), and characterized by complete elemental analysis, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TG/DTA), FTIR, solution (31P, 183W, 1H and 13C) NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The complex was also obtained in 47.6% (0.81 g scale) yield in a 1 : 2 molar-ratio reaction of the mono-lacunary Keggin POM, K7[PW11O39] x 10H2O, with the anionic titanium(IV) complex under acidic conditions. The molecular structure of [[{Ti(OH)(ox)}2(micro-O)](alpha-PW11O39)]7- 1a, was successfully determined. This POM in the solid state is composed of one host (mono-lacunary site) and two guests (two octahedral Ti groups), in contrast to most titanium (IV)-substituted POMs consisting of one host and one guest. On the other hand, the 31P NMR measurements revealed that in aqueous solution this POM was present under a dissociation equilibrium which depends upon both temperature and pH.

The preparation and structural characterization of a novel Ti-O-Ti bonding complex constructed in a dilacunary alpha-Keggin polyoxometalate (POM), [[{Ti(ox)(H2O)}4(mu-O)3](alpha-PW10O37)](7-) (H2ox = oxalic acid) (1a), are described. The water-soluble, crystalline complex with a formula of K6H[1a].0.5KCl.10H2O (1p) was prepared as the bulk sample in 28.0% (0.51 g scale) yield in a 1:4 molar-ratio reaction of the dititanium(IV)-substituted, dimeric form of an alpha-Keggin POM, K10[(alpha-1,2-PW10Ti2O39)2].18H2O, with the titanium(IV) source K2[TiO(ox)2].2H2O in HCl-acidic solution (pH 0.08). Prior to formation of 1p, the KCl-free crystalline compound (1c) obtained was characterized with X-ray crystallography. The compound 1p was unequivocally characterized with complete elemental analysis, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TG/DTA), FTIR, and solution (31P, 183W, and 13C) NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structure of 1a was determined. The POM 1a in the solid state was composed of the four octahedral Ti groups (four guests), i.e., the two Ti-O-Ti groups linked with the mu-O atom, incorporated to the two adjacent, octahedral vacant sites (two hosts) in the dilacunary Keggin POM. The formation of 1a, as well as the recently found POM [{Ti(ox)(H2O)}2(mu-O)](alpha-PW11O39)](5-) (2a), was strongly dependent on the reaction with [TiO(ox)2](2-), i.e., the anionic titanium(IV) complex as the titanium(IV) source. The POM 1a is contrasted to most titanium(IV)-substituted POMs consisting of a combination of a monolacunary site (one host) and an octahedral Ti group (one guest) and also contrasted to 2a as a combination of a monolacunary site (one host) and two octahedral Ti groups or a Ti-O-Ti group (two guests).

The buspirone drug is usually present as hydrochloride form of general formula C(21)H(31)N(5)O(2).HCl, and of molecular weight (MW)=421.96. It is an analgesic anxiolytic drug, which does not cause sedative or depression of central nervous system. In the present work it is investigated using electron impact mass spectral (EI-MS) fragmentation at 70 eV, in comparison with thermal analyses (TA) measurements (TG/DTG and DTA) and molecular orbital calculation (MOC). Semi-empirical MO calculation, PM3 procedure, has been carried out on buspirone both as neutral molecule (in TA) and the corresponding positively charged species (in MS). The calculated MOC parameters include bond length, bond order, particle charge distribution on different atoms and heats of formation. The fragmentation pathways of buspirone in EI-MS lead to the formation of important primary and secondary fragment ions. The mechanism of formation of some important daughter ions can be illuminated from comparing with that obtained using electrospray ESIMS/MS mode mass spectrometer through the accurate mass measurement determination. The losses of the intermediate aliphatic part (CH2)4 due to cleavage of N-C bond from both sides is the primary cleavage in both techniques (MS and TA). The PM3 provides a base for fine distinction among sites of initial bond cleavage and subsequent fragmentation of drug molecule in both TA and MS techniques; consequently the choice of the correct pathway of such fragmentation knowing this structural session of bonds can be used to decide the active sites of this drug responsible for its chemical, biological and medical reactivity.

Sertraline (C(17)H(17)Cl(2)N) as an antidepressant drug was investigated using thermal analysis (TA) measurements (TG/DTG and DTA) in comparison with electron impact (EI) mass spectral (MS) fragmentation at 70eV. Semi-empirical MO-calculations, using PM3 procedure, has been carried out on neutral molecule and positively charged species. These calculations included bond length, bond order, bond strain, partial charge distribution and heats of formation (DeltaH(f)). Also, in the present work sertraline-iodine product was prepared and its structure was investigated using elemental analyses, IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, MS and TA. It was also subjected to molecular orbital calculations (MOC) in order to confirm its fragmentation behavior by both MS and TA in comparison with the sertraline parent drug. In MS of sertraline the initial rupture occurred was CH(3)NH(2)(+) fragment ion via H-rearrangement while in sertraline-iodine product the initial rupture was due to the loss of I(+) and/or HI(+) fragment ions followed by CH(2)NH(+) fragment ion loss. In thermal analyses (TA) the initial rupture in sertraline is due to the loss of C(6)H(3)Cl(2) followed by the loss of CH(3)-NH forming tetraline molecule which thermally decomposed to give C(4)H(8), C(6)H(6) or the loss of H(2) forming naphthalene molecule which thermally sublimated. In sertraline-iodine product as a daughter the initial thermal rupture is due to successive loss of HI and CH(3)NH followed by the loss of C(6)H(5)HI and HCl. Sertraline biological activity increases with the introduction of iodine into its skeleton. The activities of the drug and its daughter are mainly depend upon their fragmentation to give their metabolites in vivo systems, which are very similar to the identified fragments in both MS and TA. The importance of the present work is also due to the decision of the possible mechanism of fragmentation of the drug and its daughter and its confirmation by MOC.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is commonly used to coat titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V) for orthopedic implants. However, their poor adhesion strength and insufficient long-term stability limit their application. Novel sphene (CaTiSiO5) ceramics possess excellent chemical stability and cytocompatibility. The aim of this study is to use the novel sphene ceramics as coatings for Ti-6Al-4V. The sol-gel method was used to produce the coatings and the thermal properties, phase composition, microstructure, thickness, surface roughness and adhesion strength of sphene coatings were analyzed by differential thermal analysis-thermal gravity (DTA-TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atom force microscopy (AFM) and scratch test, respectively. DTA analysis confirmed that the temperature of the sphene phase formation is 875 degrees C and XRD analysis indicated pure sphene coatings were obtained. A uniform structure of the sphene coating was found across the Ti-6Al-4V surface, with a thickness and surface roughness of the coating of about 0.5-1 microm and 0.38 microm, respectively. Sphene-coated Ti-6Al-4V possessed a significantly improved adhesion strength compared to that for HAp coating and their chemical stability was evaluated by testing the profile element distribution and the dissolution kinetics of calcium (Ca) ions after soaking the sphene-coated Ti-6Al-4V in Tris-HCl solution. Sphene coatings had a significantly improved chemical stability compared to the HAp coatings. A layer of apatite formed on the sphene-coated Ti-6Al-4V after they were soaked in simulated body fluids (SBF). Our results indicate that sol-gel coating of novel sphene onto Ti-6Al-4V possessed improved adhesion strength and chemical stability, compared to HAp-coated Ti-6Al-4V prepared under the same conditions, suggesting their potential application as coatings for orthopedic implants.

This work discusses an alternative process option for the treatment of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) by producing hydrogen (H(2)) gas, at the same time fixing chlorine for proper environmental control. In the first-stage, a milling operation is performed in a planetary ball mill to obtain a mixture of PVC sample with CaO and Ni(OH)(2) to be used as feed in the second-step, involving heating of the milled product. Analyses by thermogravimetry-mass spectroscopy (TG-MS) and gas chromatography (GC) showed H(2), CH(4), CO and CO(2) as main constituents. The results clearly show that addition of Ni(OH)(2) to provide nickel as catalyst and CaO as adsorbent to fix CO(2) and HCl gases generated during heating, assisted in clean H(2) generation with concentration near 90% at temperatures between 450 and 550 degrees C. Analyses of solids after heating by X-ray diffraction and TG-DTA techniques showed both CaOHCl and CaCO(3) as main phases in the product. This process could be developed to treat PVC wastes together with other polymers and/or plastic wastes for production of H(2) gas.

MnCuO(x)/TiO(2) supported catalyst was synthesized by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The catalyst was then tested for the oxidation of chlorobenzene (CB) used as a Cl-VOC model. The results showed that MnCuO(x)/TiO(2) is very active for CB oxidation since a total conversion (exclusively into H(2)O, CO(2) and Cl(2)) was reached at 350 degrees C without formation of any other harmful organic compounds and no catalyst deactivation was observed. This performance was attributed to the formation Mn(1.6)Cu(1.4)O(4) spinel phase. However, at lower temperatures, some deactivation occurred before a steady-state is reached. At 300 degrees C, the CB conversion decreased and stabilised at 75% after 5h and a small amount of HCl and traces of CO were detected. The reason why HCl was not detected at temperatures higher than 350 degrees C was explained by Deacon reaction. SEM/EDS analysis revealed the presence of chlorine uniformly dispersed on the catalyst surface. The formation of chlorinated compound (MnCuO(x-a)Cl(2a)/TiO(2)), which is presumed to be responsible of the catalyst partial deactivation, was confirmed by other analysis experiments (TG/DTA, TPR). The catalyst regeneration under air at 350 degrees C allowed the system to recover the initial activity in spite of the fact that the chlorine was not completely removed from the catalyst.
