the poly(ethyleneimine)-functionalized silica has been developed successfully as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption removal of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater. the influences of ph, contact time and initial concentration of cu(ii) ions on the adsorption capacity and the effect of adsorbent dosage on the removal efficiency of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater were inve...

The substituted 1,8-naphthyridines, 2-hydroxy-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid hydrazide (HNch) and 2-hydroxy-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid 0-hydroxybenzylidene hydrazide (HNCHBh) react with acetates of Mn(II), Co(II) metal ions to yield complexes of definite composition. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, thermal, conductance, magnetic studies and IR, electro...

Thermal reactions of MnCl(DPyP) (DPyP = 5,15-di(4-pyridyl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin) as a metalloligand with Co(II) and Zn(II) ions in dimethylformamide led to neutral one-dimensional (1D) double chain dipyridyl-porphyrin-based porous coordination polymers (PCPs), Co3(DPyP)3·4DMF (I) and Zn3(DPyP)3·2DMF·4H2O (II). Both PCPs were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Particularly, ...

Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) are a family of binuclear metalloenzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphoric acid esters and anhydrides. A PAP in sweet potato has a unique, strongly antiferromagnetically coupled Fe(III)-Mn(II) center and is distinguished from other PAPs by its increased catalytic efficiency for a range of activated and unactivated phosphate esters, its strict requirement...

The symmetrical tetra-dentate Schiff base complexes were prepared by the reaction of 2-hydroxy naphthaldehyde and 1,8-diaminonaphthalene in 2:1 molar ratio. The ligand and its complexes with Cu(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II) ions were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, infrared, electronic spectra, cyclic voltammetry, thermal, Magnetic and EPR studies. Furthermore, antibact...

Two peptide sequences from PARK9 Parkinson's disease gene, ProAspGluLysHisGluLeu, (P(1)D(2)E(3)K(4)H(5)E(6)L(7)) (1) and PheCysGlyAspGlyAlaAsnAspCysGly (F(1)C(2)G(3)D(4)G(5)A(6)N(7)D(8)C(9)G(10)) (2) were tested for Mn(II), Zn(II) and Ca(II) binding. The fragments are located from residues 1165 to 1171 and 1184 to 1193 in the PARK9 encoded protein. This protein can protect cells from poisoning ...

A novel ligand N-4-hydroxyacetophenone isonicotinoyl hydrazone and its manganese(II) nickel(II) metal complexes have been synthesized. The synthesized Schiff base characterized by physical state determination, melting point solubility measurements in different solvents, infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometric powder X-ray spectroscopic techniques. thermal properties of t...

The asymmetric redox-active ligand 4,5-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)-1,2-catechol ((N,O)LH4) is prepared and metalated to afford the hexanuclear complex [Mn6((N,O)L)6](6-). Structural analysis and magnetic measurements reveal this complex to feature Mn(II) ions bridged by (N,O)L(3-)˙ radicals, which are antiferromagnetically coupled to give an S = 12 ground state.

Dilute magnetic semiconductors based on transition metal doped silicon have attracted intense interest in recent years due to their compatibility with current silicon technology. Here we present transmission electron microscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometry and ferromagnetic resonance studies of silicon implanted with 1×10 16 ions/cm 2 of Mn ions and silicon co-implanted with both 1×10 16 io...

Clickable ligands like N,N'-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)prop-2-yn-1-amine (L(1)) and N-((1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)prop-2-yn-1-amine (L(2)) have been used to synthesise a series of manganese(ii) complexes for grafting onto appropriate solid supports. These ligands mimic the 2-His-1-carboxylate facial chelation present in the active site of the manganese-dependent diox...
