The title compound, {[Cu(C(17)H(11)N(2)O(3))(2)(H(2)O)]·2H(2)O}(n), is a two-dimensional polymer. The Cu(2+) ion lies on the crystallographic twofold axis. The coordination sphere of the Cu(2+) ion can be described as a distorted square pyramid. All of the H atoms in the amide group and lattice water mol-ecules participate in O-H⋯O or N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding to strengthen the two-dimensioal fram...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(6)H(9)N(2))(2)[Cu(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)], contains half of a [Cu(pydc)(2)](2-) (pydcH(2) is pyridine-2,6-dicarb-oxy-lic acid) anion and one protonated 2-amino-4-methyl-pyridine (2a4mpH)(+) counter-ion. The anion is a six-coordinated complex with a distorted CuN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry around the Cu(II) ion. N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds along with ...

Sodium-ion batteries increasingly become of immense research interest as a potential inexpensive alternative to Lithium-ion batteries. Development of high-energy-density negative electrodes (anodes) remains to be a great challenge, especially because of significant differences between lithium and sodium chemistries. Two Na-ion anode materials - antimony (Sb) and phosphorus (P) - have been recen...

Heavy metal content was determined in selected vegetables cultivated in some highland and lowland areas in Peninsular Malaysia. Leafy vegetables were represented by convolvulus (Ipomoea aquatica) and green mustard or sawi (Brassica rapa var. parachinensis), tubers and bulbs by sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and onion (Allium cepa), and fruity vegetables by chilly (Capsicum annuum), brinjal (Sol...

Two bimetallic assemblies K[Cu(cyclam)][Fe(CN)6] 4H2O 1 and [Cu(L)][Cu(L )][Fe(CN)6] 6.5H2O 2 (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane; L = N,N -bis(2-pyridylmethylene)-1,3-propanediamine and L = N-2-pyridylmethylene-1,3-propanediamine) have been prepared from the reaction of [Fe(CN)6] 3 and the precursors [Cu(cyclam)] and [Cu(L)] , respectively, and their structure and magnetic properties s...

Cu electropolishing was studied using a rotating disc electrode in a variety of phosphoric acid-based electrolytes, including several with ethanol and other species added as diluents. Diluents allow a wider range of water concentrations and electrolyte viscosities to be accessed and also reduce the removal rate during Cu electropolishing, simplifying possible application to damascene processing...

abstract in order to study the effects of variety, water regime, zinc and cadmium levels on concentration, content and translocation of p, cu, fe and mn on rice, a factorial experiment was conducted consisting of four factors including: two varieties of rice (vandana and hashemi), two water regimes (flooded and nonflooded), three levels of zinc, and three of cadmium (0, 5 and 10 mg kg-1). the e...

Accumulations of copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) in six rice cultivars (94D-22, 94D-54, 94D-64, Gui630, YY-1, and KY1360) were evaluated through exposure to heavy metal contamination (100 mg/kg Cu, 1.0 mg/kg Cd, and 100 mg/kg Cu + 1.0 mg/kg Cd) in a greenhouse. The dry weights of shoot and root, concentrations of Cu and Cd in plant tissues and the Cu, Cd, P, Fe concentrations in the root surface i...
