Alkali or alkaline-earth salts of both complexes are soluble in water (except for Ba2[Fe(CN)g]) but are insoluble in alcohol. The salts of hexakiscyanoferrate(4—) are yellow and those of hexakiscyanoferrate(3—) are mby red. A large variety of complexes arise when one or more cations of the alkah or alkaline-earth salts is replaced by a complex cation, a representative metal, or a transition metal. Many salts have commercial appHcations, although the majority of industrial production of iron cyanide complexes is of iron blues such as Pmssian Blue, used as pigments (see Pigments, inorganic). Many transition-metal salts of [Fe(CN)g] have characteristic colors. Addition of [Fe(CN)g] to an unknown metal salt solution has been used as a quaUtative test for those transition metals. 

Methods of testing for eye and skin irritation potential have been reviewed (137). The official FHSA procedure for evaluating ocular irritation potential of detergent products is a modified Drai2e rabbit eye test (138). Some controversy surrounds this method at present, and a search for a procedure less injurious to test animals is in progress. In general, the order of irritation is cationic > anionic > nonionic (139). 

The chi-square distribution can be applied to other types of apph-catlon which are of an entirely different nature. These include apph-cations which are discussed under Goodness-of-Fit Test and Two-Way Test for Independence of Count Data. In these applications, the mathematical formulation and context are entirely different, but they do result in the same table of values. 

Analyses for the Saxitoxins. Early methods for analysis of the saxitoxins evolved from those used for toxin isolation and purification. The principal landmarks in the development of preparative separation techniques for the saxitoxins were 1) the employment of carboxylate cation exchange resins by Schantz et al. (82) 2) the use of the polyacrylamide gel Bio-Gel P2 by Buckley and by Shimizu (5,78) and 3) the development by Buckley of an effective TLC system, including a new solvent mixture and a new visualization technique (83). The solvent mixture, designated by Buckley as "E", remains the best for general resolution of the saxitoxins. The visualization method, oxidation of the saxitoxins on silica gel TLC plates to fluorescent degradation products with hydrogen peroxide and heat, is an adaptation of the Bates and Rapoport fluorescence assay for saxitoxin in solution. Curiously, while peroxide oxidation in solution provides little or no response for the N-l-hydroxy saxitoxins, peroxide spray on TLC plates is a sensitive test for all saxitoxin derivatives with the C-12 gemdiol intact.

Preanalytical variables that affect global tests for coagulation such as prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) include the choice and concentration of anticoagulant, anticoagulant-to-blQod ratio, pH, concentration of divalent cations, hematocrit, and storage temperature, to mention a few. 

An extensive array of chiral phosphine ligands has been tested for the asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed hydroboration of aryl-substituted alkenes. It is well known that cationic Rh complexes bearing chelating phosphine ligands (e.g., dppf) result in Markovnikoff addition of HBcat to vinylarenes to afford branched boryl compounds. These can then be oxidized through to the corresponding chiral alcohol (11) (Equation (5)) ... 

Redox-inactive cations attract a particular interest for analytical chemists because of their importance in environmental control, industry, and medicine. For instance, in clinical diagnostics, tests for blood electrolytes (Na+, K+) are routine, because deviation of cation content from their normal values indicates a number of pathologies. 

One of the most systematic investigations into the use of organic chemical microscopy was made by Dunbar and his associates, who used a series of specific reagents to develop specific tests for various functional groups. Methods were developed for amines [24,25], carboxylic acids, anhydrides, and acid chlorides [26,27], aldehydes and ketones [28], hydroxy compounds [29], amino acids [30], and cations [31].
