We report the synthesis and single crystal X-ray analysis of C(84) ().AgTPP (Ag tetraphenylporphyrin) cocrystal-the first ordered crystal structure containing a pristine higher fullerene.

Structural genomics projects are providing large quantities of new 3D structural data for proteins. To monitor the quality of these data, we have developed the protein structure validation software suite (PSVS), for assessment of protein structures generated by NMR or X-ray crystallographic methods. PSVS is broadly applicable for structure quality assessment in structural biology projects. The ...

the zinc(ii) complex [zn2(dmdtc)2(μ-dmdtc)2] has been synthesized directly from thiram ligand, containing a disulfide bond {dmdtc = n,n-dimethyldithiocarbamate; thiram = n,n-tetramethylthiuram disulfide}, and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. surprisingly thiram, undergoes a reductive disulfide bond scission upon reaction with zn2+ in methanolic media to give the [z...

the heterogeneous photo-fenton degradation of crystal violet under visible light has been investigated usingcopper modified iron oxide. the photocatalyst has been prepared by coprecipitation method. the rate ofphotocatalyic degradation of dye was monitored spectrophotometrically. it has been observed thatphotocatalytic degradation follows pseudo first order kinetics. the effect of various param...

the reaction of barium chloride with 2, 6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid in water led to the formation of a novelpolymeric complex formulated as {[ba2(hpydc)2(pydc)(h20)3].h20.(h2pydc)}.(i). the crystal structure of (i)was characterized by single crystal x-ray diffraction method. the complex was crystallized in the monoclinicsystem with space group p2/c, with four molecule in unit-cell, e.g z=4. the...

The mechanical alloying process was used to synthesize the Ni50Al50−xMox nanocrystalline intermetallic compound using pure Ni and Al elemental powder. This process was carried out in the presence of various Mo contents as a micro-alloying element for various milling times. Structural changes of powder particles during mechanical alloying were studied by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning e...

A new arsenate K1+2x Ni1-x Fe2(AsO4)3 (x = 1/8) {potassium nickel diiron(III) tris-[arsenate(V)]} was synthesized using a flux method and its crystal structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. This material was also characterized by qualitative energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The crystal structure belongs to the α-CrPO4-structure type, space group ...

Tooth enamel is the hardest material in the human body, and it is mainly composed of hydroxyapatite (HAp)-like mineral particles. As HAp has a hexagonal crystal structure, X-ray diffraction methods can be used to analyze the crystal structure of HAp in teeth. Here, the X-ray diffraction method was applied to the surface of tooth enamel to measure the orientation and strain of the HAp crystals. ...

X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were employed to study the phase diagram of SF6 at pressures up to 32GPa. The known phase transformation of SF6 phase I to phase II at around 2GPa was confirmed. Discontinuities in the pressure dependence of the Raman frequencies and positions of X-ray reflections indicate further phase transitions at 10(1) and 19(1)GPa. The crystal structures of phases ...
