Abstract: A chemical complex of Tc-99m with 1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-bis(dihydroxyphosphinyl)ethane is skeleton specific. The complex can be made by reducing pertechnetate ion and reacting the reduced technetium species with 1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-bis(dihydroxyphosphinyl)ethane. The complex is normally used in a biologically sterile, substantially isotonic aqueous medium as a skeleton imaging agent.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel substituted 2-hydroxy-2-phosphinyl ethanals of the general Formula I. ##STR1## to 1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-bisphosphinylethanes of the general Formula II ##STR2## to methods of making the same, to compositions containing compounds of the general Formula I, and/or of the general Formula II, to the use of such compositions to impart flame-resistance to cellulose and cellulose containing materials, to flame-resistant compositions containing compounds of the general Formula II and to the use of the compounds of the general Formula II as metal complexing agents.In the compounds of the Formulas I and II R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may be the same or different radicals including alkoxy, aryloxy, arylalkoxy, cycloalkoxy, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl as well as such radicals containing substituents such as halogen, amino, hydroxy, alkoxy, mercapto, carboxy, carbalkoxy and the like in addition R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.2 may be hydroxy.

Abstract: N-(Substituted phosphinyl) polyamides and a method for their production are disclosed. The N-(substituted phosphinyl) polyamides are characterized by the recurring unit structure represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein A is in part hydrogen and in part a substituted phosphinyl radical. One method of producing the N-(substituted phosphinyl) polyamides is treating N-chlorinated polyamide with substituted phosphinyl compounds. The disclosed N-(substituted phosphinyl) polyamides exhibit excellent thermal stability fire resistance, good processability, high water absorption and permeability. The N-(substituted phosphinyl) polyamides are useful for making flame resistant textile materials.
