A quaternary germanium(II) phosphate, Na[Ge4(PO4)3]
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new germanium(II) phosphate, sodium tetra-germanium tris-(phosphate), Na[Ge(4)(PO(4))(3)], has been synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The compound is isotypic with A[Sn(4)(PO(4))(3)] (A = Na, K, NH(4)). It features a [Ge(4)(PO(4))(3)](-) framework made up of GeO(3) pyramids and PO(4) tetra-hedra, which are linked by shared corners, yielding a three-dimensional structure. The crystal studied showed partial inversion twinning.

Kinetic evidence that the Na-PO4 cotransporter is the molecular mechanism for Na/Li exchange in human red blood cells.
The molecular basis for Na/Li exchange is unknown. Li can be transported by the Na pump, anion exchanger (AE1), a background leak, and the Na/Li exchanger. In vivo the intraerythrocyte concentration of Li results from the balance of passive entry, mostly on AE1, and the active extrusion on the Na/Li exchanger. Here we show that erythrocytes have Li-activated PO4 transport that behaves as if it ...

The human renal Na-PO4cotransporter gene NaPi-3 was expressed in human embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells, and the transport characteristics were measured in cells transfected with a vector containing NaPi-3 or with the vector alone (sham transfected). The initial rate of32PO4influx had saturation kinetics for external Na and PO4 with[Formula: see text] of 128 mM (PO4 = 0.1 mM) and[Formula: see tex...
متن کاملCrystal Growth and Luminescence Properties of Dy3+ and Ge4+ Co-Doped Bi4Si3O12 Single Crystals for High Power Warm White LED
Φ1 inch Dy3+ and Ge4+ co-doped bismuth silicate (Bi4Si3O12, BSO) single crystals with the length of 80–100 mm were successfully grown by Bridgman method. They are transparent, free of cracks and inclusions. The white residual at the top parts of BSO crystals disappears with co-doping 1 mol% Dy3+ and more than 3 mol% Ge4+. The FWHM values of X-ray rocking curves shows 1%Dy,3%Ge:BSO crystal posse...
متن کاملProteomic responses of oceanic Synechococcus WH8102 to phosphate and zinc scarcity and cadmium additions
Synechococcus sp. WH 8102 is a motile marine cyanobacterium isolated originally from the Sargasso Sea. To test the response of this organism to cadmium (Cd), generally considered a toxin, cultures were grown in a matrix of high and low zinc (Zn) and phosphate (PO4 (3-)) and were then exposed to an addition of 4.4 pM free Cd(2+) at mid-log phase and harvested after 24 h. Whereas Zn and PO4 (3-) ...
