We are reporting here on the inexpensive fabrication and optical properties of an iron(III) oxide-chromium(III) oxide nanocomposite thin film of corundum crystal structure. Its novel and unique-designed architecture consists of uniformed, well-defined and oriented nanorods of Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) of 50

The effect of chlorophyllin on micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MN-PCE) induction by chromium trioxide (CrO(3)) exposure in peripheral blood of mice was studied. Animals were treated with a single intraperitoneal dose of chlorophyllin (CHL) (20mg/kg), CrO(3) (20mg/kg), and CHL (20mg/kg) 4h

Hexavalent chromium compounds exhibit higher toxicity than its trivalent compounds since chromium ions in the +6 oxidation state easily cross biological membranes. It has recently been proposed that substances reducing chromium ions from the +6 to the less toxic +3

The C14,15-dihydro-C22,25-epi north unit of cephalostatin 1 has been synthesized in 11 operations from commercially available hecogenin acetate via multiple reductions and oxidations. The key transformations include (i) Cr(VI)-catalyzed E-ring opening, (ii) C17 hydroxylation, and (iii) a base-triggered cyclization cascade.
