The title compound, (C5H7N2)2[Cu(H2O)6](SO4)2·4H2O [systematic name: bis(2-aminopyridinium) hexaaquacopper(II) bis(sulfate) tetrahydrate], comprises axially elongated hexa-aqua-coordinated octa-hedral Cu(II) ions located on an inversion centre, non-coordinating sulfate anions, 2-amino-pyridinium cations and lattice water mol-ecules. The crystal structure is built of successive inorganic and org...

In the title hydrated double salt, 4,4'-(ethene-1,2-di-yl)dipyridin-1-ium hexa-aqua-iron(II) bis-(sulfate) monohydrate, (C12H12N2)[Fe(H2O)6](SO4)2·H2O, the Fe(II) cation is coordin-ated by six water mol-ecules in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry; the two pyridine rings of the 4,4'-(ethene-1,2-di-yl)dipyridin-1-ium cation are twisted to each other by a dihedral angle of 11.84 (10)°. In ...

The title compound, {[Cu(H(2)O)(6)][Na(2)(SO(4))(2)]}(n), has been prepared under mild hydro-thermal conditions and has been structurally characterized. It exhibits a structure in which the inorganic frameworks are three-dimensional, participating in extensive hydrogen bonding. Copper occupies a special position (). The Na atom is coordinated by five O atoms of four sulfates [Na-O distances are...

The title dinuclear Fe(II) complex, [Fe(2)(SO(4))(2)(C(13)H(8)N(4))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, is centrosymmetric. Two sulfate anions bridge two Fe(II) cations to form the binuclear complex. Each Fe(II) cation is coordinated by two N atoms from a 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (IP) ligand, two O atoms from two sulfate anions and two water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Extens...

The structure of synthetic disodium magnesium disulfate decahydrate at 180 K consists of alternating layers of water-coordinated [Mg(H(2)O)(6)](2+) octahedra and [Na(2)(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)(4)](2-) sheets, parallel to [100]. The [Mg(H(2)O)(6)](2+) octahedra are joined to one another by a single hydrogen bond, the other hydrogen bonds being involved in inter-layer linkage. The Mg(2+) cation occupies...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C(6)H(15)NO(3))(H(2)O)(2)]SO(4)·H(2)O, contains a complex cation, a sulfate anion and one uncoordinated water mol-ecule. In the complex cation, the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by five O atoms (three of which are from the triethano-lamine ligand and two from coordinated water mol-ecules) and one N atom of the triethano-lamine ligand in a typical Jahn-...

A bacterial mixed culture reductively dechlorinating trichlorobenzenes was established in a defined, synthetic mineral medium without any complex additions and with pyruvate as the carbon and energy source. The culture was maintained over 39 consecutive transfers of small inocula into fresh media, enriching the dechlorinating activity. In situ probing with fluorescence-labeled rRNA-targeted oli...

abstract background: dyes are visible materials and are considered as one of the hazardous components that make up the industrial waste. dye compounds in natural water, even in very low concentrations, will lead to environmental problems. azo dyes are compounds with one or more –n=n– groups and are used in textile industry. because of its low price, solubility, and stability, azo dyes are widel...

The title compound, C(19)H(23)F(2)N(4)O(3) (+)·0.5SO(4) (2-)·2.5H(2)O, an anti-bacterial fluoro-quinolone, crystallized as a racemic twin (major twin component = 0.633) in the chiral space group P1. The asymmetric unit contains two sparfloxacinium cations, one sulfate anion and five mol-ecules of water of solvation. The bond lengths and angles of both cations are almost identical. The quinoline...
