• Uses: Calcium is largely used in the production of steel however it may also be applied to various health treatments involving the calcium-channel and anti-depressant activity. In addition it may be a necessary supplement in fracture healing of bones in mammals. Calcium is used as a deoxidizer for copper,steel, and beryllium in metallurgy; to hardenlead for bearing; and in making alloys. Reducing agent for production of less common metals; alloying agent to increase strength and corrosion resistance in lead, to improve mechanical and electrical properties in aluminum; refining agent to remove bismuth from lead. In metallurgy as scavenger to deoxidize, desulfurize and degas steel and cast iron; to control non-metallic inclusions in steel; to promote uniform microstructure in gray iron. As anode material in thermal batteries; as "getter" for oxygen and nitrogen.

Synthesis and ¹H NMR titration study of 7-deoxycholic amide or cholane ionophores containing different ion-recognizing groups at C3 and C12

10.1002/hc.21002

The research focuses on the synthesis and 1H NMR titration study of 7-deoxycholic amide or cholane ionophores containing different ion-recognizing groups at C3 and C12. The purpose of this study is to develop new types of ionophores based on a deoxycholic acid backbone (DCAB) that can selectively recognize calcium ions. The researchers synthesized ionophores with a carbamoylpropanamidoacetoxy group at the C3 position and a dithiocarbamoyl group at the C12 position. Key chemicals used in the synthesis include deoxycholic acid, α-chloroacetyl chloride, sodium azide, nanosized zinc powder, and various N,N-di(alkyl, aryl)carbamoylpropanoic acids. The 1H NMR titration experiments showed that the synthesized ionophores form 1:1 complexes with the Ca2+ ion, indicating that the oxygen atoms in the dithiocarbamoyl and carbamoylpropanamidoacetoxy moieties are largely responsible for calcium ion recognition. The conclusion is that these uniquely designed ionophores exhibit high selectivity for calcium ions, which could be useful in the development of ion-selective electrodes and other chemical sensors.
