We find that the high activity of nanoparticles of hcp metals (Ru, Os, and Re) for ammonia synthesis is due to the N-induced formation of atomically-rough {134̄2} facets.

<p>Ruthenium is an excellent catalyst for ammonia synthesis and recently shows quite high activity when supported on materials with high electron-donating and hydrogen-absorbing properties. The high activity is generally considered to originate from the two effects: the electron-donating property of the support, which reduces its apparent activation energy (<sup>app</sup>E<sub>a</sub>) to half of pure Ru’s <sup>app</sup>E<sub>a</sub>, and the hydrogen-absorbing property, which increases the active site by suppressing hydrogen poisoning, a drawback of ruthenium catalysts. Here, we investigated the catalytic performance of ruthenium loaded on TiMn<sub>2</sub>, a hydrogen storage material without electron-donating property to ruthenium. Ruthenium on TiMn<sub>2</sub> showed the <sup>app</sup>E<sub>a</sub> reduced by half despite the lack of electron-donating property. It is plausible that the decreased <sup>app</sup>E<sub>a</sub> is due to the elimination of hydrogen over Ru by TiMn<sub>2</sub>. The hydrogen storage capacity is also an essential factor in discussing the <sup>app</sup>E<sub>a</sub>.</p>

Summary Purpose: Despite highly efficacious chemotherapy, patients with osteosarcomas still have a poor prognosis if adequate surgical control cannot be obtained. These patients may benefit from therapy with radiolabeled phosphonates. Patients and Methods: Six patients (three male, three female; seven to 41 years) with unresectable primary osteosarcoma (n = 3) or unresectable recurrent sites of osteosarcomas (n = 3) were treated with high-activity of Sm-153-EDTMP (150 MBq/kg BW). In all patients autologous peripheral blood stem cells had been collected before Sm-153-EDTMP therapy. Results: No immediate adverse reactions were observed in the patients. In one patient bone pain increased during the first 48 hrs after therapy. Three patients received pain relief. Autologous peripheral blood stem cell reinfusion was performed on day +12 to +27 in all patients to overcome potentially irreversible damage to the hematopoietic stem cells. In three patient external radiotherapy of the primary tumor site was performed after Sm-153-EDTMP therapy and in two of them polychemotherapy was continued. Thirty-six months later one of these patients is still free of progression. Two further patients are still alive. However, they have developed new metastases. The three patients who had no accompanying external radiotherapy, all died of disease progression five to 20 months after therapy. Conclusion: These preliminary results show that high-dose Sm-153-EDTMP therapy is feasible and warrants further evaluation of efficacy. The combination with external radiation and polychemotherapy seems to be most promising. Although osteosarcoma is believed to be relatively radioresistant, the total focal dose achieved may delay local progression or even achieve permanent local tumor control in patients with surgically inaccessible primary or relapsing tumors.
