Manganese compounds borates

Phosphate buffer (0.6 M) slightly inhibited lipolysis, but the same concentration of borate and barbiturate buffers was without effect. Zinc chloride, potassium cyanide, manganese sulfate, cysteine, and magnesium chloride retarded milk lapse activity to various degrees. All of these compounds were tested at pH 8.5 with tributyrin as substrate during a 30-min incubation period (Peterson et al 1948). 

Apart from the di- and oligoolefm iron tricarbonyl complexes, which nowadays are frequently used in organic synthesis [71, 72], the chemistry of the readily accessible cyclohepatriene chromium and molybdenum tricarbonyls 2 and 3 was the focus of intense research efforts as well. Only a few months after the synthesis of 2 and 3 was published [58,59], both Hyp Dauben and Peter Pauson reported that these compounds react with triphenylmethyl tetrafluoro-borate in methylene chloride to give the tropylium complexes 4 and 5 in excellent yield (Scheme 7.1) [73, 74]. Later this method of hydride abstraction was also used for the preparation of the tropylium cation itself and subsequently led to the generation of several cationic rc-complexes of iron, manganese and cobalt [71, 72], The reactions of the cations of 4 and 5 with nucleophilic... 

A buildup of Al + in the zinc phosphating baths will restrict the amount of coating formed unless these ions are ranoved by addition of fluoride or borate. An advantage of zinc phosphating, however, is that it avoids the use of toxic hexavalent chromium compounds. Some simple bath compositions for zinc and manganese phosphating of aluminium are...
