A unique case of a grid-of-mesocates sequentially assembled by supramolecular cobalt(II) meso-helical units connected through hydrogen bonding is reported.

By a direct-liquid-evaporation chemical vapor deposition (DLE-CVD) method, we deposited smooth lowresistance cobalt (Co) and cobalt nitride (CoxN) thin films with excellent conformality at low temperatures down to 200 1C. In the DLE process, a cobalt amidinate precursor solution, bis(N,N0-diisopropylacetamidinato)cobalt(II) dissolved in tetradecane, was vaporized as it flowed smoothly, without ...

Co(II), which induces the assembly of tubulin in the absence of associated proteins, binds to multiple sites on the protein in a low ionic strength medium. However, in the presence of concentrations of buffer and GTP used in assembly reactions, the number of sites occupied by Co(I1) is drastically reduced. At GTP and Co(I1) concentrations where the major polymerized products are broad sheets of...

Cobalt(II) diaryl complexes react with CO to afford Co(2)(CO)(8) and sterically encumbered ketones whose structure varies depending on the nature of the aryl ligands.

The effect of two concentrations of cobalt (Co(2+)) on photosynthetic activity and antioxidative response in Lemna minor L. were assessed 24, 48 and 72h after the start of the exposure. Higher concentration of cobalt (1mM) induced growth inhibition while lower concentration (0.01mM) increased photosynthetic pigments content. Analysis of chlorophyll a fluorescence transients revealed high sensit...

In the present work we describe the synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties of four coordination compounds obtained by assembling a new phosphinic amide containing the TEMPO moiety, 1-piperidinyloxy-4-[(diphenylphosphinyl)amino]-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl radical (dppnTEMPO), with [M(hfac)2] building blocks (M = Cu(II), Co(II), Mn(II)). The crystal structures of the coordination compound...

The asymmetric unit of the title structure, [CoCl2(C3H11NOP)4][CoCl4]2, consists of one half of the trans-dichlorido-tetra-kis-[(di-methyl-phosphor-yl)methanaminium]cobalt(II) tetra-cation lying on an inversion center and one tetra-chloridocobaltate(II) dianion on a general position. Four O-coordinated cationic (di-methyl-phosphor-yl)methanaminium (dpmaH(+)) ligands occupy the equatorial coordi...

Over the past 20 years, ruthenium(II)-based dyes have played a pivotal role in turning dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) into a mature technology for the third generation of photovoltaics. However, the classic I3(-)/I(-) redox couple limits the performance and application of this technique. Simply replacing the iodine-based redox couple by new types like cobalt(3+/2+) complexes was not successf...
