Dissociative photoionization of methyl bromide (CH3Br) in an excitation energy range of 10.45-16.90 eV has been investigated by using threshold photoelectron-photoion coincidence (TPEPICO) velocity imaging. The coincident time-of-flight mass spectra indicate that the ground state X(2)E of CH3Br(+) is stable, and both A(2)A1 and B(2)E ionic excited states are fully dissociative to produce the un...

A T antigen preparation free of trypsin was obtained by application of CNBr-Sepharose linked to pure trypsin. Purification on an ion exchange chromatography column results in an electrophoretically homogeneous preparation of T protein.

In the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(15)H(11)N(3))], the Zn(II) ion is five-coordinated by the three N atoms from a 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand (terpy) and two bromide anions in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration. Each mol-ecule is situated on a twofold rotational axis that passes through the Zn(II) ion and the central ring of the terpy ligand. In the crystal structure, aromatic π-π...

Catalysis gets all tied up in knots Over the past decade, chemists have used metal ion templating to prepare a wide variety of knotted molecular strands. Marcos et al. now show that one such pentafoil knot can be applied to catalysis. When held taut by zinc ions, the knot can capture a chloride or bromide ion from a halocarbon, thereby unleashing the reactivity of the residual cation for applic...

Using X-ray diffraction (XRD), it was confirmed that the deposition of hole-transporting materials (HTM) on a CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite layer changed the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite crystal, which was due to the material exchanging phenomena between the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite and HTM layers. The solvent for HTM also changed the perovskite crystal. In order to suppress the crystal change, doping by chlorid...

Bromide is a common ion found in freshwater and marine systems. Although normally at relatively low concentrations, higher levels may occur point-released wastewaters as well nonpoint runoff from agricultural or industrial locations where bromide compounds are used biocides disinfectants. In this study, the potential toxicity of NaBr saltwater environment was studied using brine shrimp, Artemia...

Ferricyanide anion has usually been used as a marker of ion-channel sensors. In this work we first found that ferricyanide, itself, can act as a stimulus to regulate the permeability of sBLM prepared from didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (a kind of synthetic lipid) on a GC electrode. We used cyclic voltammetry and a.c. impedance to investigate this phenomenon. The interaction between sBLM and ...

A vitamin U-bonded stationary phase was prepared and the retention behavior of inorganic anions was examined using ion chromatography. Inorganic anions were retained on the vitamin U-bonded stationary phase under acidic as well as neutral eluent conditions in the ion-exchange mode. The elution order of the examined anions under neutral eluent conditions was nearly the same as that observed in...
