Reaction of molybdenum mononitrosyl halides with Schiff bases: Hydrolysis of azomethine links,formation of monometallic tris
(Elsevier, 1996-06)The reaction of 2 mol equiv. of [Mo(NO){HB(dmpz)3}X2] ((HBdmpz)3 = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate; X = Cl or I) with Schiff base ligands derived by condensation of 2 mol equiv. of para- and meta-hydroxybenzaldehyde with ... -
Trimetallic complexes containing Nickel or Palladium and two Molybdenum nitrosyl groups
(1997)The reaction of [Mo(NO){HB(dmpz)3}Cl2] [HB(dmpz)3 = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyborate] with nickel(II) and palladium(II) Schiff-base complexes derived by condensation of two mole equivalents of 2,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde with ... -
A protocol for rooting and growing apple rootstock microshoots.
(1998)Microshoots of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) rootstocks G. 65, G.30 and G.11 were transferred from stage II axillary shoot cultures to stage III rooting media containing 10 levels of indole-butyric acid (IBA) for four ... -
Malus germplasm varies in resistance or tolerance to apple replant pathogens in a mixture of New York orchard soils.
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2000-04)We tested 40 seedling lots and 17 clonal accessions - representing 941 genotypes and 19 species or interspecific hybrids of Malus - for their resistance or tolerance to apple replant disease (ARD) in a mixture of five New ... -
Synthesis and electrochemical studies of heterobinuclear complexes containing copper and molybdenum nitrosyl groups linked by Schiff base ligands
(Springer, 2000-08)Abstract The reaction of [MoCl(NO)Tp * = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylborate] with copper Schiff base complexes derived by condensation of one mole each of 2,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and salicylaldehyde with α,ω diamines ... -
