Method\ Test concentrations were selected by determining EC50 and root tips were exposed to various concentrations for 6 or 24 hr. EC50 concentration was calculated to be 70.8 ppm for the root growth. In addition to root growth retardation exposure to isoproturon induced morpholoogical changes like discolouration and stiffness of roots. Results\ Exposure to various experimental concentrations of isoproturon (35-280 ppm), including EC50, significantly and dose-dependently inhibited the mitotic index and induced chromosome breaks/mitotic aberrations at 6 or 24 hr. Conclusion\ The frequency of aberrations was found to be decreased in a dose dependant manner at 24 or 48 hr post exposure, however in comparison of control cells the frequency of aberrations was considerably high which indicates genotoxicity potentials of isoproturon. Further, present study also suggests that Allium sativum is a sensitive, efficient, and reliable test system for measuring the genotoxicity potential of environmental chemicals.展开更多

Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed that the complex belongs to trigonal system, space group R-3c, with a = b = 10.999（2） A, c = 40.439（13） A, V = 4237（2）A3, Z = 6, Dc = 1.410 g/cm3, Mr = 599.41, μ = 0.785 mm-1, F（000） = 1893, the final R = 0.0330 and wR = 0.0926（I 〉 2σ（I））. IR spectrum and compositional analyses（elemental analyzer and ICP） were used to characterize the composition of the product. TGA（Thermal Gravimetric Analysis） showed that complex Ⅰ remained stable until it is heated up to 200 ℃, indicating its good thermostability. The main transmission peak of complex Ⅰ in UV-Vis spectrum appeared at 290 nm, making it an eligible material for ultraviolet light filters（ULF）.展开更多
