A sensitive method for the determination of trace cadmium after the preconcentration by extracting its 8-hydroxyquinoline complex into a molten benzophenone was developed. Several experimental conditions such as the pH of solution, the amounts of 8-hydroxyquinoline and benzophenone, stirring time, and standing time were optimized. Trace cadmium in 100 mL water sample was chelated with 2.5 mL of 0.001 M 8-hydroxyquinoline at pH 8.0. After 0.07 g benzophenone was added, the solution was heated to about 70 ℃ and stirred vigorously for 1 minute to dissolve the complex quantitatively in a molten benzophenone, and stood for 30 minutes to reproduce the microcrystalline benzophenone. The benzophenone containing Cd-8-hydroxyquinoline complex was filtered and dissolved in acetone. Cadmium was determined by a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The interfering effects of diverse concomitant ions were investigated and eliminated. This method could be applied to natural water samples and the recovery of more than 90% was obtained in the real samples.

A potentially tetradentate Schiff base ligand, 2-((2-((pyridin-2-ylmethylene)amino)ethyl)amino)ethan-1-ol (PMAE), and its cadmium(II) complex, [$Cd(PMAE)I_2$] (1), were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, Raman, $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopies and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal structure of 1, the cadmium atom has a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry and a $CdN_3I_2$ environment in which the PMAE acts as an $N_3$-donor. In the crystal packing of the complex, the alcohol and amine groups of the coordinated ligands participate in hydrogen bonding with iodide ions and form $R^2{_2}(14)$ and $R^2{_2}(8)$ hydrogen bond motifs, respectively. In addition to the hydrogen bonds, the crystal network is stabilized by ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking interactions between pyridine rings. The thermodynamic stability of the isolated ligand and its cadmium complex along with their charge distribution patterns were studied by DFT and NBO analysis.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the distribution of urine cadmium levels of residents in the surrounding areas of an industrial complex. Methods: During the period of three month from August to October 2012, informed consent was obtained from a total of 362 residents in Kwangyang and Yeosu. We collected urine sample from all subjects and their demographic characteristics, including alcohol drinks and smoking habits, using a questionnaire. The urine samples were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometer. Results: The urinary cadmium geometric mean concentration of total participants was $0.87{\mu}g/g\;cr$. The results of this study showed that higher urine cadmium levels were observed in females and some subjects with a higher level of education level and a lower BMI. Also, those subjects who preferred to take vegetables and took fish 3 days before urine sampling procedure revealed higher urine cadmium concentrations. The urine cadmium concentrations of subjects in the exposed area($0.91{\mu}g/g\;cr$) were significantly higher than those in the control area($0.78{\mu}g/g\;cr$). Conclusions: An additional study is needed to assess health risks of residents in the vicinity of environment-unfriendly areas, coupled with endeavors to examine possible heavy metals contamination factors that may affect the human body.

This study was conducted to investigate the metallothionein (MT) induction by Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer in cadmium chloride intoxication. The results were as follows: Generally, detoxicatlon effects by Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer extract increased proportionally to the increase of cadmium concentrations. When a 8 mg/g dosage of cadmium was administered, formation of the cadmium and EDTA complex showed the highest antitoxic effect. Also, when a 4 mg/g dosage of cadmium was administered, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer extract showed the highest antitoxic effect in metallothionein induction. According to the above results, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer extract administered with cadmium increased metallothionein concentration and decreased the toxicity of cadmium in liver.

A synthetic route for 12 metal thiocarboxylate complex, $Cd(SOCCH_3)_2Lut_2$ [Lut = 3,5-dimethylpyridine (lutidine)], were investigated for their potential to act as precursors for the formation of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles. $Cd(SOCCH_3)_2Lut_2$ were characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Thermal decomposition of $Cd(SOCCH_3)_2Lut_2$ is expected to undergo thiocarboxylic anhydride elimination to give stoichiometric cadmium sulfide nanoparticles and removes the organic supporting ligands cleanly. Prepared cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were characterized by fluorescence and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and displayed an emission band at 500 nm with an excitation wavelength of 360 nm.

The interaction of cadmium (II) ion with quercetin was investigated in aqueous solution at different pH. The quercetin/cadmium stochiometries for cadmium (II) binding have been determined by UV-vis spectrophotometric method. The complexation of Cd(II) ion with 54.72 ${\mu}M$ quercetin (A=1.00793) was formed in 0.2 M $NH_3-0.2$ M $NH_4Cl$ (pH 8.0) buffer solution. 1:1 Cd(II)-complex had a maximum absorbance and showed the bathochromic shift of the long-wavelength band of the UV-vis spectra in the alkaline pH when interacted with quercetin in buffer solution. These results suggest that Cd(II)-quercetin complex has the optimal condition of chelation in basic buffer solution.

An investigation was made of possible ways in which one could control the relative rates of cadmium deposition and hydrogen evolution by binary additive systems. Benzyl alcohol was employed as an additives due to its ability to form a hydrophobic film which inhibit the electroreduction of water to form hydrogen. The second additive was chosen to make the cadmium(II) ion less hydrophilic and increase its ability to cross the hydrophobic benzyl alcohol film and be electrodeposited at the cathode. It was shown by voltammetric and current efficiency studies that ion pairing and complexing additives could be used to accelerate the reduction of cadmium in the presence of the benzyl alcohol film. It was also shown that the benzyl alcohol film lowered the dielectric constant of the solution near the electrode enough to obtain ion pairing between the sodium ion and the negative chloride complex of cadmium and accelerate the reduction of the cadmium. This acceleration did not occur in the sulfate solution in the absence of chloride since cadmium(II) is primarily present as a positive aquo complex and ion pairing, if it occured, would not accelerate but would hinder reduction of cadmium.

The title complex, $[Cd(N_3)_2(2-ethylimidazole)_2]$, I, has been prepared and characterized by X-ray single crystallography. The complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic system, Cc space group with a = 16.200(3), b = 12.926(3), $c=7.007(1){\AA}$, ${\beta}=102.29(3)^{\circ}$, $V=1433.7(5){\AA}^3$, Z = 4, $R_1=0.0239$ and ${\omega}R_2=0.0604$ for 1874 independent reflections. Cd(II) atom has a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry, with four end-on (${\mu}-1$,1) bridging azido ligands and two 2-ethylimidazole ligands bonding through nitrogen atom. The central cadmium(II) atoms are run in parallel to the c-axis and are doubly bridged with neighboring cadmium(II) atoms by the end-on (${\mu}-1$,1) bridging azido ligands. Thus, this complex has a one-dimensional zigzag chain structure in which the 2-ethylimidazole is in the cis conformation.

The interaction of cadmium (II) ion with protocatechuic acid ($H_3PA$) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were investigated in aqueous solution at different pH. The protocatechuic acid and EDTA/cadmium stochiometries for cadmium (II) binding have been determined by UV-vis spectrophotometric method. The complexation of Cd (II) ion with protocatechuic acid was formed in solution. Among the two potential sites of chelation present in the protocatechuic acid structure, the carboxylic function presents higher complexation power toward Cd (II). 1 : 1 Cd (II)-complex had a maximum absorbance and showed the bathochromic shift of the long-wavelength band of the UV-vis spectra in the alkaline pH when interacted with protocatechuic acid in 0.2 M $NH_3$ - 0.2 M ${NH_4}Cl$ (pH 8.0) buffer. These results suggest that Cd $({H_2}PA)^+$ complex has the optimal condition of chelation in buffer solution at 64.22 ${\mu}M$ protocatechuic acid (A=1.01455).
