The introduction of the combination of open metal site (OMS) and π-complexation into MOF has led to very high ethylene-ethane adsorption selectivity at 318 K, as illustrated in the context of MIL-101-Cr-SO3Ag. The interactions with ethylene from both OMS and π-complexation in MIL-101-Cr-SO3Ag have been investigated by in situ IR spectroscopic studies and computational calculations, which sugges...

the complexation reaction between 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (kryptofix5) ligand with zn2+, ni2+, co2+, pb2+, mn2+ and cu2+ ions were studied conductometrically in different acetonitrile-nitromethane (an-nm) and acetonitrile-methanol (an-meoh) mixtures. the formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes were calculated from the computer fitting of the molar conductan...

Available surface complexation models for birnessite required the inclusion of bidentate bonds or the adsorption of cation-hydroxy complexes to account for experimentally observed H/M exchange. These models contain inconsistencies and therefore the surface complexation on birnessite was re-examined. Structural data on birnessite indicate that sorption sites are located on three oxygens around a...

The Ca2+ concentration and hydrolysis degree [-COO-] dependence of the self-complexation of partially hydrolyzed poly(acrylamide) (HPAM) chains in CaCl2 aqueous solution was systematically investigated by a combination of static and dynamic laser light scattering. We have, for the first time, revealed a transition between the intrachain and interchain complexations. For each given HPAM sample, ...

The synthesis, structure and photophysical properties of two polynuclear zinc complexes, namely [Zn6L2(µ3-OH)2(OAc)8] (1) [Zn4L4(µ2-OH)2](ClO4)2 (2), supported by tridentate Schiff base ligand 2,6-bis((N-benzyl)iminomethyl)-4-tert-butylphenol (HL) are presented. synthesized compounds were investigated using ESI-MS, IR, NMR, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy single-c...

Acute 96-h toxicity tests were performed with juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to AgNO3 in either the absence or the presence of 100 nM reactive sulfide to evaluate the protective effect of aqueous sulfides against ionic Ag toxicity. The sulfide was presented in the form of zinc sulfide (ZnS) clusters under oxic conditions. Silver was lost from the water column during the co...

The complexation reaction between iodine and 1,10-Diaza-18-Crown-6 (DA18C6) has been studied in acetonitrile by spectrophotometric, biamperometric and conductometric techniques. The results are indicative of the formation of [(CH3CH)nI+.I¯3] from iodine and acetonitrile, and the formation of DA18C6 I+. I¯ from DA18C6 and [(CH...

We propose new methodologies for stabilizing all-metal antiaromatic clusters like: Al4Li4. We demonstrate that these all-metal species can be stabilized by complexation with 3d-transition metals very similar to its organic counterpart, C4H4. Complexation to transition metal ions reduce the frontier orbital energies and introduces aromaticity. We consider a series of such complexes [η4(Al4Li4)-F...
