a r t i c l e i n f o On the basis of triangular-shaped [Mn 3 O] secondary building units, a novel two-dimensional (2D) manganese (III) complex, [NaMn III 3 O(sao) 3 (btec) 0.5 (H 2 O) 3 ]·1.25H 2 O (1) (H 2 sao = salicylaldoxime, H 4 btec = benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate acid), was synthesized and structurally characterized. The structure of 1 consists of 2D coordination polymer based on [Mn...

Vanadium (III) gives a greenish- yellow complex with anthranilic acid in presence of pyridine. The complex is extractable with chloroform and is used for photometric determination of vanadium by measuring the absorbance at 390 nm against a reagent blank. Beer's Law holds good in the range of 1-20 pg V/ml. Moderate amounts of Pb (II) , Ca (II) , Sr (II) , Ba (II) , Cd (II) , Mg (II) , Mn (II...

We present a theory of the anomalous Hall effect in ferromagnetic (III, Mn)V semiconductors. Our theory relates the anomalous Hall conductance of a homogeneous ferromagnet to the Berry phase acquired by a quasiparticle wave function upon traversing closed paths on the spin-split Fermi surface. The quantitative agreement between our theory and experimental data in both (In, Mn)As and (Ga, Mn)As ...

The binuclear heterovalent manganese model complex [Mn(II)Mn(III)(L1)(OAc)(2)] ClO(4) x H(2)O (H(2)L1 = 2-(((3-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)-methyl)phenol) has been prepared and studied structurally, spectroscopically, and computationally. The magnetic and electronic properties of the complex have been related to its structure. The co...

Bacillus subtilis class Ib ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the conversion of nucleotides to deoxynucleotides, providing the building blocks for DNA replication and repair. It is composed of two proteins: α (NrdE) and β (NrdF). β contains the metallo-cofactor, essential for the initiation of the reduction process. The RNR genes are organized within the nrdI-nrdE-nrdF-ymaB operon. Each p...

Arsenic sorption onto aquifer sediments was investigated in anaerobic laboratory batch and column uptake experiments and characterized by As, Fe, and Mn X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to estimate the extent and mechanism of abiotic sorption and oxidation of As(III). Batch experiments at pH 6 showed that the amount of As(III) or As(V) sorption from synthetic background porewaterto sediments...
