Effect on metals

Some of these compounds could be considered as dietary additives, but various other terms, including pesticides, can also be used. They can have beneficial effects on the environment and this aspect will be discussed later. The ionophore monensin, which is an alicyclic polyether (Figure 1), is a secondary metabolite of Streptomyces and aids the prevention of coccidiosis in poultry. Monensin is used as a growth promoter in cattle and also to decrease methane production, but it is toxic to equine animals. " Its ability to act as an ionophore is dependent on its cyclic chelating effect on metal ions. ° The hormones bovine somatotropin (BST) and porcine somatotropin (PST), both of which are polypeptides, occur naturally in lactating cattle and pigs, respectively, but can also be produced synthetically using recombinant DNA methods and administered to such animals in order to increase milk yields and lean meat production.

Contact of brass, bronze, copper or the more resistant stainless steels with the 13% Cr steels in sea-water can lead to accelerated corrosion of the latter. Galvanic contact effects on metals coupled to the austenitic types are only slight with brass, bronze and copper, but with cadmium, zinc, aluminium and magnesium alloys, insulation or protective measures are necessary to avoid serious attack on the non-ferrous material. Mild steel and the 13% chromium types are also liable to accelerated attack from contact with the chromium-nickel grades. The austenitic materials do not themselves suffer anodic attack in sea-water from contact with any of the usual materials of construction.

The effects on metal ion adsorption of ligands that can themselves adsorb strongly can be quite different from that described above. Many multi-atomic ligands can bond to oxide surfaces through atoms different from those they use to... 

On detailed electrical characteristics of a SET transistor utilizing charging effects on metal nanoclusters were reported by Sato et al. [26]. A self-assembled chain of colloidal gold nanoparticles was connected to metal electrodes, which were formed by electron-beam lithography. The cross-linking of the particles as well as their connection to the electrodes results from a linkage by bifunctional organic molecules, which present the tunnel barriers.

It has also been shown that LDL oxidation is increased in diabetes. In this connection, Mowri et al. [179] studied the effect of glucose on metal ion-dependent and -independent LDL oxidation. They found that pathophysiological glucose concentrations enhanced copper- and iron-induced LDL oxidation measured via the formation of conjugated dienes. In contrast, glucose had no effect on metal-independent free radical LDL oxidation. Correspondingly,...

The erosion effects of cavitation on solid surfaces have been extensively investigated both in terms of surface erosion [68] and corrosion [69]. The consequences of these effects on metal reactivity are important since passivating coatings are frequently present on a metal surface (e. g. oxides, carbonates and hydroxides) and can be removed by the impacts caused by collapsing cavitation bubbles. An illustration can be found with the activation of nickel powder and the determination of the change in its surface composition under the influence of cavitation by Auger spectroscopy (Fig. 3.6) [70].

Even though the outlined approach allowed the successful rationalisation of many experimentally observed shift/structure and shift/reactivity correlations, Leitner et al. have pointed out that such relations cannot be expected to be universally valid and require that structural variations are modest and avoid large simultaneous changes in parameters that may have opposite effects on metal chemical shifts.61 To overcome these drawbacks and establish a more rational interpretation of chemical shift trends, they used a combination of experimental and computational efforts to assess the importance of different electronic and structural factors on the metal chemical shifts of a series of rhodium complexes with bidentate chelating bisphosphine ligands. The basis of their approach is first the validation of experimentally observed metal shifts by... 

It was shown that the AB5/ABS composite tolerated the hydrogenation effects on metal particles, with no losses in hydrogenation kinetics. The results indicated that the compositions are suitable for metal hydride based hydrogen storage devices.
