We evaluated the inducibility of nitrate-dependent Fe(II)-EDTA oxidation (NDFO) in non-growth, chloramphenicol-amended, resting-cell suspensions of Dechloromonas sp. strain UWNR4 and Acidovorax sp. strain 2AN. Cells previously incubated with Fe(II)-EDTA oxidized ca. 6-fold more Fe(II)-EDTA than cells previously incubated with Fe(III)-EDTA. This is the first report of induction of NDFO by Fe(II).

This study presented an original on the F- removal by Fe and Zr doped Gismondine-dominated Zeolite. Various modified zeolites are prepared systematically adjusting synthesis variables, namely pH, mass ratio of zeolite to modify agent (mZeolite:m(Fe+Zr)), (Fe:Zr) investigate their effects adsorption. The performance Fe-Zr-Zeolite was examined through both statistic adsorption dynamic Results ind...

The formation of Fe n,m hydmxy salts (green rusts) from Fe n sulphate and chloride solutions and their transformation to lepidocrocite, 7-FeOOH, was studied at ambient temperature, constant pH of ~7.0 and under controlled air flow. The formation of green rust and its subsequent transformation to lepidocrocite could be distinguished by the reaction rate and solution chemistry. The SO4 2-and CI-c...

Atmospheric deposition of iron (Fe) to certain regions of the oceans is an important nutrient source of Fe to the biota, and the ability of the biota to uptake Fe is dependent on the speciation of the Fe. Therefore understanding the speciation of Fe in the atmosphere is critical to understanding the role of Fe as a nutrient source in surface ocean waters. Labile ferrous iron (Fe(II)) concentrat...

Human serum transferrin (hTF) binds Fe(III) tightly but reversibly, and delivers it to cells via a receptor-mediated endocytosis process. The metal-binding and release result in significant conformational changes of the protein. Here, we report the crystal structures of diferric-hTF (Fe(N)Fe(C)-hTF) and bismuth-bound hTF (Bi(N)Fe(C)-hTF) at 2.8 and 2.4 Å resolutions respectively. Notably, the N...

Pentanuclear, cyanide-bridged clusters [M(tmphen)2]3[M'(CN)6]2 (M/M' = Zn/Cr (1), Zn/Fe (2), Fe/Fe (3), Fe/Co (4), and Fe/Cr (5); tmphen = 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) were prepared by combining [M'III(CN)6]3- anions with mononuclear complexes of MII ions with two capping tmphen ligands. The clusters consist of a trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) core with three MII ions in the equatorial ...

The title compound, (C8H20N)[Fe(C44H28N4)(CN)2]·CH2Cl2 or (Et4N)[Fe(TPP)(CN)2], was recrystallized from di-chloro-methane-diethyl ether. The compound crystallizes with the two unique halves of the Fe(III) porphyrinato complex, one tetra-ethyl-ammonium cation and one inter-stitial di-chloro-methane mol-ecule within the asymmetric unit. Both anionic Fe(III) complexes exhibit inversion symmetry. B...

The ligands 4-, 3- and 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde 4'-(2,2':6',2''-terpyridyl)hydrazone (, and ) have been prepared and characterized. In the homoleptic iron(ii) and ruthenium(ii) complexes, the nitrogen donor atoms of the pendant pyridine rings subtend an obtuse angle ( approximately 155 degrees ) at the metal centre, thus providing an expanded ligand, which can be used for the assembly one-dimensi...

A supply of drinking water low in Arsenic (As) prevents arsenic poisoning. The presence of high concentrations of iron (Fe) in groundwater under the alluvial plains of the large rivers in Southeast Asia is a prerequisite for the simple removal of As. This study investigated the mechanisms and possibilities for enhancing As removal with naturally occurring Fe in a reliable, low cost and sustaina...

Electrocrystallization of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) in the presence of the tris(chloranilato)ferrate(III) [Fe(Cl2An)3](3-) paramagnetic chiral anion in different stoichiometric ratios and solvent mixtures afforded three different hybrid systems formulated as [BEDT-TTF]3[Fe(Cl2An)3]·3CH2Cl2·H2O (1), δ-[BEDT-TTF]5[Fe(Cl2An)3]·4H2O (2), and α‴-[BEDT-TTF]18[Fe(Cl2An)3]3·3CH2C...
