The structure of the title ionic copper(II) compound, (C(13)H(15)N(2))(2)[CuBr(4)], is built up of isolated 1,3-diallyl-benzimidazolium cations and [CuBr(4)](2-) anions which are inter-connected by electrostatic inter-actions. Differences in packing of the heterocyclic cores results in a different structure compared with earlier investigated chloride and bromide analogues.

Tranexamic acid [systematic name: trans-4-(amino-meth-yl)cyclo-hexane-1-carb-oxy-lic acid], is an anti-fibrinolytic amino acid that exists as a zwitterion [trans-4-(ammonio-meth-yl)cyclo-hexane-1-carboxyl-ate] in the solid state. Its reaction with copper chloride leads to the formation of a compound with a copper(II) paddle-wheel structure that crystallizes as a hexa-hydrate, [Cu2Cl2(C8H15NO2)4...

In the presence of triphenylphosphine, copper(II) chloride can catalyze an intermolecular ortho-acylation reaction of phenols with aryl aldehydes. The reaction proceeds smoothly with a wide range of starting materials, and furthermore, it can be used to synthesize xanthone derivatives in a single step in high yields.

BACKGROUND After coronary artery bypass grafting procedures with saphenous vein, there is a protracted elevation of plasma homocysteine and copper. These interact to elicit endothelial dysfunction through promotion of superoxide. It has been suggested that angiogenesis and the formation of a neovasa vasorum is important in mediating vein graft patency. A novel in vitro model of angiogenesis in ...

Background and Objective: To assess the control release of bio-molluscicides (Crude Ferula asafoetida and their active component ferulic acid) loaded in alginates as binding matrix. Methodology: Sodium alginate, an anionic block copolymer of β-D-mannuronic acid and α-L-guluronic acid, is a readily available, non-toxic polysaccharide its property to form gel with divalent and multivalent cations...

Combining copper(II) chloride, 4-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine and triethylamine in dimethylformamide (DMF) results in the instantaneous formation of a metallogel with as little as 0.51 wt% of gelator. The metallogel was found to encapsulate a luminescent lanthanide cluster, yielding a luminescent metallogel.

Abstract The present study investigated the possibility of complete utilization eggshell waste (ESW) transforming it to adherent egg white protein solution, calcium chloride dihydrate, and membranes (ESM). Adherent solution was obtained by washing ESW three times with distilled water at 25°C, followed filtration, analyzed for content lysozyme activity. ESM were simultaneously exposure washed eg...
