2,5-Bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-thia-diazole (denoted L) has been found to act as a bidentate ligand in the monomeric title complex, [Cu(CF(3)O(3)S)(C(12)H(8)N(4)S)(2)(H(2)O)](CF(3)O(3)S). The complex shows a distorted octahedrally coordinated copper(II) cation which is linked to two thia-diazole ligands, one water mol-ecule and one trifluoro-methane-sulfonate anion. The second trifluoro-methane-su...

Dietary intake, age, gender, and body mass index were investigated as possible predictors of perfluorinated compounds in a study population from northern Norway (44 women and 16 men). In addition to donating a blood sample, the participants answered a detailed questionnaire about diet and lifestyle. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) (29 ng/mL), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) (3.9 ng/mL), perfluorohex...

In the title compound, 4-[3-(3-sulfonato-pyridin-1-ium-4-yl)prop-yl]pyridin-1-ium-3-sulfonate, C(13)H(14)N(2)O(6)S(2), the mol-ecule is zwitterionic, with the sulfonic acid proton transfered to the basic pyridine N atom. Also, the structure adopts a butterfly-like conformation with the sulfonate groups on opposite sides of the 'wings'. The dihedral angle between the two pyridinium rings is 83.5...

The title compound {systematic name: poly[[μ(7)-(2R)-2-amino-3-sulfonato-propano-ato]disodium]}, [Na(2)(C(3)H(5)NO(5)S)](n), was obtained through solvent-thermal reaction of l-cysteic acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide. The monomer consists of two Na(+) cations that are coordinated to the deprotonated amino acid. The latter acts as donor utilizing all available coordination sites, viz. the amino...

The conjecture that the orbit-counting generating function for totally symmetric plane partitions can be written as an explicit product-formula, has been stated independently by George Andrews and David Robbins around 1983. We present a proof of this long-standing conjecture.

Sodium-2-oxo-propanesulfonate (acetone sulfonate) was found to be a competitive inhibitor of acetoacetate carboxy lyase (acetoacetic decarboxylase, EC 4.1.1.4) the KI of which was numerically equal to the K, for acetoacetate at all temperatures investigated. K,,, like Kr in this case is therefore concluded to represent a dissociation constant. AH for the dissociation of either acetoacetate or a...
