In the title compound, C(10)H(8)N(6)·2H(2)O, the central aromatic ring makes dihedral angles of 23.59 (15) and 16.99 (16)° with the terminal imidazole and tetra-zole rings, respectively, which are themselves almost coplanar [dihedral angle = 6.61 (18)°]. Two H atoms of the two water mol-ecules are half occupied. In the crystal packing, weak inter-molecular O-H⋯N, O-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds ...

In the title compound, [Cd(C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)], the Cd(II) atom is coordinated by four carboxyl-ate O atoms from two bidentate chelating 4-methyl-benzoate ligands, two N atoms from two imidazole ligands and one water mol-ecule in a distorted penta-gonal bipyramidal geometry. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water mol-ecule and the carboxyl-ate O...

A histidine auxotroph of Saccharomyces cerevieiae has been used to metabolically incorporate [1,3-'"N%] histidine into yeast cytochrome c oxidase. Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy of cytochrome a in the ['6N]h~stidine-substituted enzyme reveals an ENDOR signal which can be assigned to hyperfine coupling of a histidine "N with the low-spin heme, thereby unambiguously identi...

Recent results in the chemistry of disubstituted carbenium ions (vinyl cations and phenyl cations) are described separately under three different sections: From kinetic and solvolytic data of several 1—cyclobutenyl nonaflates, the intermediacy of a non-classical vinyl cation, namely the 1-cyclobutenyl cation 2 is established. Cycloaddition reactions of solvolytically generated vinyl cations wit...

The whole mol-ecule of the title compound, [NiCl2(C3H4N2)2(NH3)2], is generated by inversion symmetry. The Ni(II) ion, which is located on an inversion center, has a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment and is surrounded by two ammine N atoms and two Cl atoms in the equatorial plane, with two N atoms of two imidazole groups occupying the axial positions. The imidazole ring makes a dih...
