Background & Aims of the Study:  The increasing levels of toxic heavy metals discharged into the environment have received considerable attention due to the adverse effects on receiving waters. Therefore, the developed adsorbent was assessed for its practical role in removal of metal ions from industrial wastewater. The purpose of the present work is to investigate the removal of Ni(II) an...

InrS is a Ni(II)-responsive, CsoR/RcnR-like, DNA-binding transcriptional repressor of the nrsD gene, but the Ni(II) co-ordination sphere of InrS is unlike Ni(II)-RcnR. We show that copper and Zn(II) also bind tightly to InrS and in vitro these ions also impair InrS binding to the nrsD operator-promoter. InrS does not respond to Zn(II) (or copper) in vivo after 48 h, when Zn(II) sensor ZiaR resp...

A chelating diphosphine ligand with a central N-heterocyclic phosphenium cation (NHP(+)) has been used to explore the coordination chemistry of NHPs with nickel. Treatment of the chlorophosphine precursor [PPP]Cl (1) with stoichiometric Ni(COD)2 affords (PPP)NiCl (8), which is best described as a Ni(II)/NHP(-) phosphido complex formed via oxidative addition of the P-Cl bond. In contrast, treati...

The title compound, [Ni(2)(C(7)H(5)O(3))(4)(C(7)H(6)N(2))(4)][Ni(C(7)H(5)O(3))(2)(C(7)H(6)N(2))(2)]·6H(2)O, is a mononuclear/dinuclear nickel(II) cocrystal, the two mol-ecular species inter-acting through hydrogen bonds that involve the uncoordinated water mol-ecules. In the mononuclear species, the Ni(II) ion, located on an inversion center, is coordinated by two 1H-benzimidazole (bzim) ligand...

Some heterobimetallic ion-pair complexes of Ni(II) with Mn(II), Co(II) and , Zn (II) using 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 1-tert-butylimidazole-2-thione (tm) ligands were prepared by co-crystallization of Ni(II)-phen cationic complex and Cl / tm containing anionic complex in acetonitrile / methanol solvent. The [Ni(phen)3][MnCl4] (1) contains two molecule of acetonitrile and [Ni(phen)3] 2+ is h...

metal complexes, ml (m=ni, cu, co and zn) of unsymmetrical tetradentate schiff base have been synthesized by the template reaction of the half-units n-(1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphthone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine)(hl1) with 2-pyrroleca-rbaldehyde. the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, ir, 1h nmr and uv spectroscopy. the crystal structure of the ni(ii) complex has been determine...

The powder and single-crystal EPR spectra of Co(II)(OEP) (OEP is the dianion of octaethylporphyrin) doped into a range of diamagnetic crystals including simple four-coordinate hosts, H(2)(OEP), the triclinic B form of Ni(II)(OEP), the tetragonal form of Ni(II)(OEP) and Zn(II)(OEP); five-coordinate hosts, micro-dioxane)[Zn(II)(OEP)](2) and (py)Zn(II)(OEP); six-coordinate hosts, (py)(2)Zn(II)(OEP...

The asymmetric unit of the salt, (C(12)H(11)ClN)(2)[Ni(C(2)N(2)S(3))(2)], comprises one cation and a half of Ni(tdas)(2) (tdas = 1,2,5-thia-diazole-3,4-dithiol-ate) anion. The Ni(II) atom is located at a centre of inversion. The Ni(II) atom has a square-planar coordination with Ni-S distances of 2.2052 (4) and 2.1970 (5) Å. In crystal, weak C-H⋯S and C-H⋯Ni contacts are observed between the ani...

A preconcentration method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of Co, Ni, Cd and Zn by atomic absorption spectrometry. The method is based on the retention of the metal cations by naphthalene–2,4,6-trimorpholino-1,3,5-triazin adsorbent in a column. The adsorbed metals were then eluted from the column with hydrochloric acid and the Co, Ni, Cd and Zn were determined by flame atomi...

In the title salt, [Ni(C12H14N6O)2](CF3SO3)2·2CH3OH, the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by six N atoms from two tridentate 1-meth-oxy-2,2,2-tris-(pyrazol-1-yl)ethane ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Ni(II) ion is situated on an inversion centre. The Ni-N distances range from 2.0589 (19) to 2.0757 (19) Å, intra-ligand N-Ni-N angles range from 84.50 (8) to 85.15 (8)°, and adjacent inte...
