The uptakes of molecular iodine and bromine by both strong acid cation (Dowex 50W-X4 and X8) and strong base anion (Dowex 1-X4 and X8) exchange resins have been studied in aqueous solutions at 25 degrees C. An empirical formula for the amount of solute taken up by the resin in mmol per gram of dry resin, Q, as a function of the solute concentration in M (mol dm(-3)), C, was derived. Direct prop...

Iridium hydridophosphine complexes of general formula [Ir(PR3)2H2(anion)](PR3= PPh3, PMe2Ph; anion =[1-closo-CB(11)H(6)Cl(6)]-, [1-closo-CB(11)H(6)I(6)]-, [BAr(F)4]-) have been prepared by hydrogenation of cyclooctadiene precursor complexes. Solid-state structures of selected examples of these complexes reveal intimate contacts between the carborane anion and cation, with the anion binding thro...

The cultivatioo of narrow·leafed lupins (Lupinus angustifolius L) increases rates of subsoil acidification, and this is thought to be partly related to their pattern of nutrient uptake and H+ jOHexcretion. The main hypothesis of this study was that H+ and OHexcretion is not distributed evenly over the entire length of the root system but is limited to zones where excess cation or anion uptake o...

In the title compound, (C(8)H(12)N)(2)[ZnBr(4)], the coordination geometry of the anion is approximately tetra-hedral. The Zn-Br bond lengths range from 2.3901 (19) to 2.449 (2) Å and the Br-Zn-Br angles range from 107.09 (8) to 112.48 (8)°. In the crystal, each [ZnBr(4)](2-) anion is connected to four cations through two N-H⋯Br and two C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional ⋯(cation)(2...

In the title salt C7H10NO(+)·C8H3Cl2O4 (-) the benzene rings of the cation and anion are essentially parallel [inter-ring dihedral angle 4.8 (2)°]. In the anion the carb-oxy-lic acid and carboxyl-ate groups make dihedral angles of 19.0 (2) and 79.5 (2)°, respectively, with the benzene ring. Aminium N-H⋯O, carb-oxy-lic acid O-H⋯O and weak aromatic C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding associations with carboxy...

In the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, C7H11N2 (+)·C7H6NO2 (-)·2H2O, the cation is protonated at the pyridine N atom and the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the CO2 (-) group in the anion is 8.5 (2)°. In the crystal, the cation forms an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond to the anion and the anion forms two N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to adjacent water mol-ecules. Both water mol-ecules form two O-H⋯O hyd...
