In the title compound, [Co(C8H5O4)(C9H6N7)] n , the divalent CoII atom is six-coordinated to three N atoms from two symmetrical 5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1H,2'H-3,3'-bi[1,2,4-triazole] (H2pyttz) ligands and three O atoms from three symmetrical 3-carb-oxy-benzoate (Hbdic) ligands, leading to a distorted {CoN3O3} octa-hedral coordination environment. Two CoII cations are linked by four bridging carboxyl-a...

Stepwise construction of a 1D heterotrimetallic coordination polymer containing all three group 10 metal ions via an ammineplatinum(ii) metalloligand with d-penicillamine is reported. This system showed a significant enhancement in heterogeneous catalytic activity for electrochemical hydrogen evolution by the stepwise introduction of PdII and NiII into the PtII metalloligand.

b a ckground: anoph eles culicifacies, a major malarial vector has been recognized as a complex of five sibling species, a, b, c, d and e. these sibling species exhibit varied vectorial capacity, host specificity and susceptibility to malarial parasites/ insecticides. in this study, a pcr assay developed earlier for distinguishing the five individual species was validated on samples of a n . cu...

The population genetic structure of Simulium tani was inferred from mitochondria-encoded sequences of cytochrome c oxidase subunits I (COI) and II (COII) along an elevational gradient in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. A statistical parsimony network of 71 individuals revealed 71 haplotypes in the COI gene and 43 haplotypes in the COII gene; the concatenated sequences of the COI and COII genes rev...

The aim of this study is to measure human mitochondrial sequence variability in the relatively slowly evolving mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) and to estimate when the human common ancestral mitochondrial type existed. New COII gene sequences were determined for five humans (Homo sapiens), including some of the most mitochondrially divergent humans known; for two pygmy c...

Exchange coupling across the cyanide bridge in a series of novel cyanometalate complexes with CuII-NC-MIII (M = Cr and low-spin Mn, Fe) fragments has been studied using the broken-symmetry DFT approach and an empirical model, which allows us to relate the exchange coupling constant with sigma-, pi-, and pi*-type spin densities of the CN- bridging ligand. Ferromagnetic exchange is found to be do...

Layered FeII-FeIII hydroxides (green rusts, GRs) are efficient reducing agents against oxidizing contaminants such as chromate, nitrate, selenite, and nitroaromatic compounds and chlorinated solvents. In this study, we adopted a buffered precipitation approach where glycine (GLY) was used in the synthesis of sulfate-interlayered GR (GRSO4) by aerial oxidation of FeII or co-precipitation by addi...

Catalytic asymmetric oxidation-chemistry involving heteroatom transfer from a reagent to a substrate is perhaps unparalleled in synthetic utility for the construction of enantioenriched materials.[1] Conversely, there is a significant deficiency of asymmetric two-electron oxidations that do not involve heteroatom transfer. Some potentially valuable reactions of this type include the oxidation o...
