The title tetra-nuclear complex, [Cu(4)Cl(6)O(C(13)H(11)N(3))(4)], features a tetra-hedral arrangement of copper(II) ions bonded to the central O atom (site symmetry [Formula: see text]). Each of the six edges of the Cu(4) tetra-hedron is bridged by a chloride ion (one of which has site symmetry 2), so that each copper ion is linked to the other three metal ions through the central O atom and t...

abstractinteraction of ni complex(salen= n, n´-ethylene bis(salicylideneimine)) with hen egg-white lysozyme (hewl) was studied by absorption spectroscopy, competitive binding study and thermal denaturation study. the protein binding affinity of ni complex was found to be (3.0×103m−1). the binding plot obtained from the absorption titration data gives a binding constant of 2.4 (± 0.3)×103 m-1. i...

Odorant receptors (ORs) in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) mediate detection of volatile odorants. Divalent sulfur compounds, such as thiols and thioethers, are extremely potent odorants. We identify a mouse OR, MOR244-3, robustly responding to (methylthio)methanethiol (MeSCH(2)SH; MTMT) in heterologous cells. Found specifically in male mouse urine, strong-smelling MTMT [human threshold 100 pa...

The requirement of a divalent metal ion for all enzymatic reactions involving adenosine diand triphosphate is well established, but the role of the metal ion is not clearly understood. In some kinase reactions (1, 2) kinetic evidence has been presented that the metal complex of adenosine triphosphate is the true substrate in the enzymatic reaction. The present study was undertaken to obtain inf...

Polyvinyltetrazole (PVT) is produced from acrylonitrile (AN) monomer by using free-radicalpolymerization and Click Chemistry methods. The resulting polymer with a broad range of tetrazolegroup contents was conveniently synthesized through [3+ 2] azide-nitrile cycloaddition reaction ofnitrile-containing polymer with sodium azide in DMF. The prepared PVT was characterized by13CN...

Reactions between the tripodal hydroxytriamine, 2,2-bis(aminomethyl)-3-aminopropan-1-ol, "hytame", and the isomeric pyridine aldehydes generate in all cases the tris(aminal) species based on a 1,3,5-triaza-adamantane skeleton. In all cases also, the product from water under basic conditions consists of an approximately 1:9 mixture of the triequatorial and monoaxial-diequatorial isomers. While a...

The published crystal structure in the paper by Zibaseresht & Hartshorn (2006) is almost certainly that of the nickel complex and not the copper complex as originally identified. Refinement of the copper occupancy was consistent with the presence of a lighter transition metal ion in the structure, and residuals improved significantly when the complex was refined as the nickel or cobalt salts. U...

The determination of metal complex species in aqueous solutions by using chromatographic techniques is potentially affected or even impossible due to species decomposition during the separation. An often used technique for slower exchanging metal ions is ion exchange chromatography (IC), which is used for the separation and quantification of 1-1-complexes of trivalent metal ions. The test set c...

A novel hybrid of azacrown ether-oxabridged fluorogenic chemosensor (1) has been synthesized: the metal ion binding ability of the hybrid molecule shows higher affinity towards transition metal ion Zn(2+) and heavy metal ion Hg(2+) compared to the parent azacrown ether which shows poor metal ion selectivity: the binding modes of the Zn(2+) and Na(+) towards have been discussed.
