Abstract: Manganese complexes of various monovalent and divalent polyether antibiotics are provided which act as coccidiostats and growth promoting agents when administered to food-producing animals such as cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. Soluble manganese salt is added to a fermentation beer containing the polyether antibiotics to form an insoluble, recoverable biomass containing the desired manganese antibiotic complex. This biomass, in a dried form, can be given orally to animals such as cattle, sheep, swine and poultry.The subject manganese complexes include: linear monovalent and divalent polyethers (monensin, nigericin, lasalocid, lysocellin, etc.); non-glycolic monovalent monoglycoside polyethers (septamycin, dianemycin, lenoremycin, carriomycin and antibiotic A-204); mononitrogen-containing divalent pyrrole ethers (calcimycin, X-14547, etc.); polynitrogen-containing divalent pyrrole ethers (A-23187, etc.); glycolic monovalent monoglycoside polyethers (etheromycin, etc.

Abstract: Water soluble dyestuffs having at least two reactive Lewis base sites are polymerized in a condensation reaction with group IVB metallocenes or group IVA organohalides to yield linear or crosslinked, and colored and/or fluorescent polymeric products. The polydyes are useful in providing permanent coloration of paper, plastics, textiles, paints and the like.

Abstract: Furan-3-carbohydroxamates of the formula ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted cycloalkyl or unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, R.sup.2 is methyl or ethyl, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 independently of one another are each hydrogen, bromine, chlorine, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, or --CH.sub.2 --COOR.sup.5, where R.sup.5 is unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, and Me is divalent nickel or cobalt, stabilize plastics against the action of light, oxygen and heat. The compounds (I) have only slight intrinsic color.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein Z is sulfur or oxygen; R is alkyl of 1 to 7 carbon atoms; R.sup.1 is aryl of 6 to 10 carbon atoms, lower alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or cycloalkyl of 3 to 8 carbons, all optionally substituted with 1 to 3 halogen atoms; a is 0 or 1; b is 0, 1, or 2; X is independently halo, nitro, trihalomethyl, lower alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or lower alkoxy of 1 to 3 carbon atoms are useful as fungicides and insecticides.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition in which the active ingredient is an ascorbate complex of platinum (II) coordinated to ammonia, a monodentate amine ligand or a bidentate amine ligand as, for example, an alkylamine, an alkylenediamine or a cycloalkylamine. Said compositions are useful in the treatment of malignant tumors in animals. They may be administered orally or parenterally and they exhibit high solubility in water and low toxicity.
