References Chapter 1 1.1. History, occurrence and properties of vanadium Vanadium was originally discovered by the mineralogist Andrés Manuel del Río (1764–1849) in a mine in northern Mexico in 1801. [1,2] He believed that he had discovered the previously unknown element 23 in a sample of ‘brown lead’, now known as vanadinite (Pb 5(VO 4)3Cl). Because the colours of this mineral were reminiscent of those shown by chromium, he called the new element panchromium . He later renamed it erythronium (‘red’) as a reference to the red colour observed when the mineral was treated with acids. Unfortunately, he withdrew his claim when it was suggested by the French chemist Hippolyte-Victor Collet-Descotils (1773– 1815) that the mineral was only impure lead chromate. The element was ‘rediscovered’ in 1831 by the Swedish chemist Nils Gabriel Sefström (1787–1845) in remnants of iron ore at the Taberg mine in Sweden. He called the ‘new element’ vanadium , in honour of Vanadis, the Scandinavian goddess of love, beauty and youth. In the same year, Friedrich Wöhler (1800– 1882) came into possession of del Río's ‘brown lead’ and he established that the ‘new element’ of Sefström was identical to the one del Río had reported three decades earlier. Though, the name vanadium still stands rather than del Río's suggestion of erythronium. Metallic vanadium was not isolated until 1867 when Henry Enfield Roscoe (1833–1915) reduced vanadium chloride with hydrogen gas to give vanadium metal. He was also responsible for much of the early work on the element. Vanadium has been estimated to comprise about 136 ppm of the earth’s crustal rocks, in which it is the 19 th most abundant element and the fifth most abundant transition metal after iron, titanium, manganese and zirconium. Although vanadium is a common and widespread element, it is sparsely distributed; it is not mined as such but is generally obtained as a by- product of other ores and it is recovered from some crude oils, in particular those from Venezuela and Canada. The concentration of vanadium in the world’s oceans is about 20–35 nM, making it the second most abundant transition metal in the aquasphere.

Its main psychoactive constituents are ibotenic acid and mus- cimol, both involved in ‘pantherina-muscaria’ poisoning syndrome. The rising pharmacological and toxicological interest based on lots of contradictive opinions concerning the use of Amanita muscaria extracts’ neuroprotective role against some neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, its potent role in the treatment of cerebral ischaemia and other socially significant health conditions gave the basis for this review.

It is an ectomycorrhizal fungus endemic to the cold ecosystems of the northern hemisphere. The basidiocarp contains isoxazoles compounds that have specific actions on the central nervous system, including hallucinations. For this reason, it is considered an important entheogenic mushroom in different cultures whose remnants are still visible in some modern-day European traditions. In Siberian civilizations, it has been consumed for religious and recreational purposes for millennia, as it was the only inebriant in this region. Keywords: Amanita muscaria; ibotenic acid; muscimol; muscarine; ethnomycology 1. Introduction Thanks to its peculiar red cap with white spots, Amanita muscaria (L.)

Gray Abstract The dianionic oxo ligand occupies a very special place in coordination chemistry, owing to its ability to donate p electrons to stabilize high oxidation states of metals. The ligand field theory of multiple bonding in oxo-metal ions, which was formulated in Copenhagen 50 years ago, predicts that there must be an “oxo wall” between Fe–Ru–Os and Co–Rh–Ir in the periodic table. In this tribute to Carl Ballhausen, we review this early work as well as new developments in the field. In particular, we discuss the electronic structures of beyond-the-wall (groups 9 and 10) complexes containing metals multiply bonded to O- and N-donor ligands.

Revised 15 th August 2017. Published 8 th September 2017. Summary Amanita muscaria , the red fly agaric, is the most famous of all Amanita. The initial history of this fascinating mushroom dates back to at least the 13 th century. The use of mushrooms began in antiquity and is associated with mysticism. The collection and consumption of mushrooms and other plants containing psychoactive substances is now very popular, especially among young people who are experimenting with drugs. Ibotenic acid and muscimol are the main active ingredients of this mushroom, but other substances are likely to be involved in the psychotropic effects. A. muscaria also contains some other non-psychotropic substances that are interesting not only for their chemical structure but also for their biological activity. Current knowledge about chemistry, pharmacology and toxicology regarding this fungus is reviewed in this article. Key words: Amanita muscaria; fly agaric; ibotenic acid; muscimol; stizolobic acid; muscarufine; betalains INTRODUCTION Amanita muscaria (L. ex Fr.) Hooker, the "fly agaric", is the best known of all the Amanitas . The early history of this fascinating fungus dates back at least to the 13 th century. (Fly Agaric) is a mycorrhizal basidiomycete fungus and it is perhaps the most fascinating mushroom on this planet.

    Uranium and Vanadium Binding Studies for the Selective Extraction of Uranium from Seawater

    Uranium and vanadium binding studies for the selective extraction of uranium from seawater By Bernard Frederick Parker A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor John Arnold, Chair Professor T. Don Tilley Professor Alexander Katz Summer 2017 1 Abstract Uranium and vanadium binding studies for the selective extraction of uranium from seawater by Bernard Frederick Parker Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry University of California, Berkeley Professor John Arnold, Chair Chapter 1 An introduction to the uranium from seawater project. Chapter 2 A non-oxo V(V) complex with glutaroimide-dioxime (H3L), a ligand for recovering uranium from seawater, was synthesized from aqueous solution as Na[V(L)2]2H2O, and the structure determined by x-ray diffraction. It is the first non-oxo V(V) complex that has been directly synthesized in and crystallized from aqueous solution. The distorted octahedral structure contains two fully deprotonated ligands (L3-) coordinating to V5+, each in a tridentate mode. Using 17O-labelled vanadate, concurrent 17O/51V/1H/13C NMR, in conjunction with ESI-MS, unprecedentedly demonstrated the stepwise displacement of the oxo V=O bonds by glutaroimide-dioxime and verified the existence of the “bare” V5+/glutaroimide-dioxime - complex, [V(L)2] , in aqueous solution. In addition, the crystal structure of an intermediate 1:1 - V(V)/glutaroimide-dioxime complex, [VO2(HL)] , in which the oxo bonds of vanadate are only partially displaced, corroborates the observations by NMR and ESI-MS.
