Signal transduction processes involved in blue light-dependent proton pumping were investigated using guard cell protoplasts from Vicia faba.N-[2-(Methylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide, an inhibitor of cyclic AMP- and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases, had no effect. 1-(5-Isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) and calphostin C, inhibitors of protein kinase C, produced slight i...

In the title co-crystal, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(7)H(6)ClO)][Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(7)H(7)O)], both substituted ferrocene mol-ecules show the expected sandwich structure. The crystal packing exhibits weak inter-molecular Cl⋯Cl contacts of 3.279 (4) Å, π-π inter-actions between the substituted Cp rings of two neighbouring 2-chloro-1-ferrocenyl-ethanone mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.534 (3) Å], and ...

A convenient and efficient method for selective replacement of the primary hydroxyl groups of sugars by chlorine with concomitant O-formylation, compatible with the presence of a variety of functional groups, has been developed using the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. Sugars having free primary hydroxyl groups mostly afforded the chloro-O-formylated product while sugars devoid of primary hydroxyl gr...

In the title polymer, [Pb(C(7)H(4)ClO(3))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))](n), the Pb(II) ion displays a distorted pseudo-octa-hedral coordination geometry. The metal center is coordinated by six O atoms from four 5-chloro-salicylate ligands and two N atoms from a chelating phenanthroline ligand. The polymeric structure is built up from bridging carboxyl-ate O atoms, forming chains along [100]. The crystal s...

lanthanide(iii) chloro complexes of 4[n-(4’-hydroxy-3’-methoxybenzalidene) amino] antipyrine semicarbazone (hmbaaps) (i) and 4[n-(3’,4’,5’-trimethoxybenzalidene) amino] antipyrine semicarbazone (tmbaaps) (ii) with the general composition lncl3.2l (ln = la, pr, nd, sm, gd, tb, dy or ho; l = hmbaaps or tmbaaps) are reported. all the complexes were synthesized in ethanolic medium and refluxed the ...
