The title compound, Dy(2)Ni(7), adopts the β-Gd(2)Co(7)-type structure type. The asymmetric unit contains two Dy sites (both site symmetry 3m) and five Ni sites (site symmetries .m, .2/m and -3m, and two 3m). The four different Ni coordination polyhedra are Frank-Kasper icosa-hedra formed by five Dy and seven Ni atoms, four Dy and eight Ni, three Dy and nine Ni, and six Dy and six Ni atoms, res...

In rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), following chronic (42 day) exposure to both 384 microg Ni l(-1) and 2034 microg Ni l(-1), Ni accumulation was greatest in the gill, kidney and plasma, with the plasma as the main sink for Ni. Indeed, trapped plasma analysis revealed that extensive loading of Ni in the plasma accounted for substantial percentages of accumulated Ni in several tissues includ...

Acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS) catalyzes the synthesis of acetyl-CoA from CO, coenzyme A (CoA), and a methyl group from the CH(3)-Co(3+) site in the corrinoid iron-sulfur protein (CFeSP). These are the key steps in the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway of anaerobic CO and CO(2) fixation. The active site of ACS is the A-cluster, which is an unusual nickel-iron-sulfur cluster. There is significant evidence for t...

The hydrothermal reactions of α-K(4)SiW(12)O(40) with NiCl(2)·6H(2)O yielded two unprecedented silicotungstates containing a triangular inorganic Ni(6) core. Furthermore, Na(2)[Ni(6)(μ(3)-OH)(3)(H(2)O)(9)SiW(9)O(34)](2)·17H(2)O (1) presents a rare dimer, in which two SiW(9) units sandwich double Ni(6) cores by W-O-Ni linking instead of conventional Ni-O-Ni.

In the title compound, [Ni(C(20)H(22)N(2)O(4))]·H(2)O, the Ni(II) ion and the water mol-ecule are located on a twofold rotation axis. The Ni ion is coordinated by two N [Ni-N = 1.8462 (18) Å] and two O [Ni-O = 1.8645 (14) Å] atoms in a distorted square-planar geometry. The water mol-ecule and the Ni complex mol-ecule are paired via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Let {S′Ni | i ∈ IN} represent a set of consequence operators defined on a language Λ, where each member of {S′Ni | i ∈ IN} corresponds to a science-community physical theory and each Ni is a S′Nj -system for each j ∈ IN. It is shown that there exists a hyperfinite ultralogic U ∈ ∗Cf defined on all internal subsets of Λ such that U 6 = U, and, for each i, j ∈ IN, S Ni ( ∗Nj) = U( ∗Nj). For each ...

We use a combination of conventional density functional theory (DFT) and post-DFT methods, which include the local density approximation plus Hubbard U (LDA + U ), PBE0, and self-consistent GW, to study the electronic properties of Ni-substituted PbTiO3 (Ni-PTO) solid solutions. We find that LDA calculations yield unreasonable band structures, especially for Ni-PTO solid solutions that contain ...

An exceptionally low coordinate nickel imido complex, (IPr*)Ni═N(dmp) (2) (dmp = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl), has been prepared by the elimination of N2 from a bulky aryl azide in its reaction with (IPr*)Ni(η6-C7H8) (1). The solid-state structure of 2 features two-coordinate nickel with a linear C−Ni−N core and a short Ni−N distance, both indicative of multiple-bond character. Computational studies us...

This paper intends to review the state-of-the-art in the field of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys different than Ni–Mn–Ga, developed in the ast years. It starts with the effects of additions of different fourth elements to Ni–Mn–Ga and continues with the review of other Heusler (or B2) i-based and Co-based alloy systems, like Ni–Mn–X, Ni–Fe–Ga, Co–Ni–Al and Co–Ni–Ga alloys. Finally, ferromagn...
