BACKGROUND We studied the annual variability of the concentration and isotopic composition of main sulfur species and sulfide oxidation intermediates in the water column of monomictic fresh-water Lake Kinneret. Sulfate concentrations in the lake are <1 mM and similar to concentrations that are proposed to have existed in the Paleoproterozoic ocean. The main goal of this research was to explore ...

In the title compound, {[Zn(SO(4))(C(8)H(6)N(4))]·H(2)O}(n), the Zn(II) atom is in a distorted octa-hedral environment. The Zn(II) atoms are bridged by both 2,2'-bipyrimidine and sulfate ligands, thus forming a three-dimensional polymeric metal-organic solid that contains uncoordinated water mol-ecules in the inter-stitial space. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding consolidates the crystal structure.

In the title compound, 2C(9)H(7)N(2)O(4) (+)·SO(4) (2-)·H(2)O, the sulfate S atom and the water O atom reside on a crystallographic twofold axis. In the crystal, the component species are linked by N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network structure. An intramol-ecular O-H⋯O link is seen in the cation.

The metabolism of Desulphovibrio desulphuricans does not appear to have been studied extensively. Stephenson and Stickland (1931) and Sisler and ZoBell (1950) showed that the organism can use gaseous hydrogen as a reducing agent for sulfate reduction. By growing cultures for several generations in mineral salt solution containing less than one part per million of sulfate, Sisler and ZoBell (195...

The structure of the title compound, [Co(II)(C(2)H(8)N(2))(3)]SO(4), the cobalt example of [M(C(2)H(8)N(2))(3)]SO(4), is reported. The Co and S atoms are located at the 2d and 2c Wyckoff sites (point symmetry 32), respectively. The Co atom is coordinated by six N atoms of three chelating ethyl-enediamine mol-ecules generated from half of the ethyl-enediamine mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. Th...

The centrosymmetric crystal structure of the novel semi-organic compound, 3C(3)H(5)N(2)S(+)·HSO(4) (-)·SO(4) (2-)·H(2)O, is based on chains of alternating anions and water mol-ecules (formed by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds). The chains are inter-connected with the 2-amino-1,3-thia-zolium cations via strong N-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions into a three-dimensional network.

In the title compound, [Zn(SO4)(C12H8N2)2]·C3H8O2, the Zn(II) ion is in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment composed of four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and one O atom from a monodentate sulfate ligand. The Zn(II) ion lies on a twofold rotation axis. The sulfate ligand and propane-1,2-diol mol-ecules are disordered across the twofold rotation axis. T...

A new organic-inorganic hybrid compound, penta-morpholinium hexa-hydrogen hexa-molybdoferrate(III) sulfate 3.5-hydrate, (C4H10NO)5[Fe(III)(OH)6Mo6O18](SO4)·3.5H2O, was obtained from an aqueous solution. The polyoxidomolybdate (POM) anion is of the Anderson β-type with a central Fe(III) ion. Three of five crystallographically independent morpholinium cations are disordered over two sets of sites...

In the title compound, [Ni(2)(SO(4))(2)(C(13)H(8)N(4))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, the complete dimeric complex is generated by an inversion center. The Ni(II) atoms are octa-hedrally coordinated by two N atoms from one 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (IP) ligand and two O atoms from two adjacent sulfate ions forming the equatorial plane, with two coordinated water mol-ecules in the axial sites...

to evaluate the maternal serum dehydroepiandrosterone (dhea) sulfate levels as a factor influencing labor ‘efficiency’ at term and unsuccessful labor induction. this is a prospective study. in this study the mean (± standard error) maternal serum dhea sulfate levels of 90 singleton pregnant women in 3 groups with spontaneous labor, need for augmentation and need for induction were compared.preg...
