Since the discovery of their excellent performance as the light-absorbing semiconducting component in photovoltaic cells, the PbX3CH3NH3 (X = I, Br, Cl) perovskites have received renewed attention. The five polymorphs stable above 200 K - the tetragonal phases for X = I, Br, Cl and the cubic phases for X = I, Br - were studied using periodic DFT calculations involving hybrid functionals (PBE0 a...

Passive K+ transport in human erythrocytes (defined as ouabain-insensitive transport) was inhibited 70% by replacement of Cl- by several permeant monovalent anions. The Vmax of Cl--dependent K+ influx was 1.14 mmol . liter-1, hr-1; its apparent Km for K+ was 4.7 mM. There was a much smaller component of Na+ influx dependent on Cl- (Vmax, 0.23 mmol . liter-1 . hr-1). Furosemide and other inhibit...

H = S v i S v i + 1 ) y y corresponds to what is called the XY chain. The hexagonal compound PrCl3 provides a good approximation to the 1-D XY chain. The structure of PrCl3 is illustrated in Figure 1. Nearest neighbor Pr ions form chains along the hexagonal axis. Each Pr ion has nine close Cl neighbors which form three equilateral triangles; one triangle lies in the plane perpendicular to the h...

The title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(25)H(21)N(2)P)], is a Pt(II) complex with an NPCl(2) coordination sphere in which the metal is coordinated to the imino N and phosphane P atoms of the ligand and to two chloride ions. The Pt(II) atom is in a distorted square-planar environment and is bound to the ligand via the P and amine N atoms in a cis fashion, with the chlorine atoms located at the two remain...

Cl-BODIPYs, synthesized in high yields from dipyrrins under air- and moisture-free conditions, are extremely facile to substitution at boron compared to their corresponding F-BODIPYs, opening up a new route to BODIPYs functionalized at boron.

The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(2)Cl(4)(C(5)H(8)N(2))(3)](n), contains two Cd(II) cations, three 1-ethyl-1H-imidazole ligands, and four Cl(-) anions. The two Cd(II) atoms have quite different coordination environments: one is octa-hedrally coordinated by four Cl atoms and two N atoms from two 1-ethyl-1H-imidazole ligands, and the second is in a severely d...

In order to study the chemical oscillatory behavior and mechanism of a new chlorine dioxide-iodide ion-methyl acetoacetate reaction system, a series of experiments were done by using UV-Vis and online FTIR spectrophotometric method. The initial concentrations of methyl acetoacetate, chlorine dioxide, potassium iodide, and sulfuric acid and the pH value have great influence on the oscillation ob...

1. The conditions of illumination were found to exert a very significant influence on absorption of ions from dilute solution by Nitella. These conditions were also found to influence the penetration of Br and NO(3) into the cell sap. 2. It is concluded that absorption of ions by plants from dilute solutions involves energy exchanges, with light as the ultimate source of the energy. It is sugge...

Dissolved natural organic matter (DOM), particularly the low molecular weight DOM, can affect the performance of water treatment processes and serve as a main precursor of disinfection by-products (DBPs) during chlorination. In this study, electrospray ionization coupled to Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FT-ICR MS) was used to characterize the low molecular wei...
