A convenient and straightforward method for the visual recognition of chloride ion has been established through a chloride-responsive dendritic organogel. The specificity was largely attributed to the higher binding affinity of the dendritic gelator for chloride compared with other anions through halogen bonding interactions.

In this paper, the influence of fly ash content on concrete surface chloride concentration was investigated through periodical tests of surface chloride concentration of concrete by immersing three kinds of concrete specimens in 5.0 wt.% sodium chloride solution. One kind of specimen is common concrete without fly ash, whereas the other two kinds of specimens are mixed with fly ash. The results...

In the centrosymmetric binuclear title compound, [Zn(2)Cl(4)(C(20)H(17)N(3))(2)], the coordination geometry of the Zn(II) ion can be described as a distorted ZnN(2)Cl(3) trigonal bipyramid (τ = 0.89), arising from the N,N'-bidentate ligand, a terminal chloride ion and two bridging chloride ions. The N atoms occupy one axial and one equatorial site and the terminal chloride ion occupies an equat...

The properties of dry collodion membranes previously described allow the prediction that cells of these membranes will concentrate solutes under certain conditions. Three such cases have been studied experimentally. 1. A membrane containing thiosulphate and immersed in a solution of iodine concentrates iodide ion. 2. A membrane containing sodium chromate and immersed in mercury chloride concent...

A rapid and simple sequential potentiometric method is described for the determination of nitrate and chloride ions in vegetables, by using home-made ion selective electrodes. The extraction of both ions from the vegetable samples was effected by magnetic stirring of the samples during 30 min in water at room temperature. Direct Potentiometry was used as analytical technique for measurement. Th...

In the title hydrated salt, [NiCl(C10H8N2)2](NO3)·3H2O, the Ni(2+) ion is coordinated by two 2,2'-bipyridyl (2,2'-bpy) ligands and a chloride ion in a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The chloride ion occupies an equatorial site and the dihedral angle between the 2,2'-bpy ring systems is 72.02 (6)°. In the crystal, the components are linked by C-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and aromatic π-π stack...

Alternating bands of acid and base formation have been detected along the length of the internodal cell of Nitella clavata when it is illuminated, while in the dark this phenomenon is minimal. Chloride influx occurs only or largely in the acid-extruding regions, and this is also a light-dependent ion movement. Chloride efflux is slightly dependent on illumination and is not localized as are H(+...

The Jokoo-ION 150 AC is an automatic sodium, potassium and chloride analyser which uses ion-selective electrodes.The sample mode can be whole-blood, serum or urine. To evaluate a urine sample, a previous dilution (1:6) with the standard 1 solution is required. For three concentrations of control materials, the total precision (CV) ranged from 0.17 to 1.22% for sodium, 0.22 to 1.69% for potassiu...

The transmembrane pump halorhodopsin in halophilic archaea translocates chloride ions from the extracellular to the cytoplasmic side upon illumination. In the ground state a tightly bound chloride ion occupies the primary chloride-binding site (CBS I) close to the protonated Schiff base that links the retinal chromophore to the protein. The light-triggered trans-cis isomerization of retinal cau...
