Natural organic matter (NOM) enhancement of the biological reduction of hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) by the dissimilatory iron-reducing bacterium Shewanella putrefaciens strain CN32 was investigated under nongrowth conditions designed to minimize precipitation of biogenic Fe(II). Hydrogen served as the electron donor. Anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS), methyl viologen, and methylene blue [quinones...

Natural product-like macrocycles were designed as potential antibacterial compounds. The macrocycles featured a D-glucose unit fused into a 12- or 13-member macrolactone. The rings are connected via the C6' and anomeric (C1') positions of the monosaccharide. The new macrocycles/macrolides were characterized by X-ray crystallography. Their structures showed that, in addition to the ester and alk...

Two new groups of cholane-peptoid hybrid macrocycles were produced by implementing novel combinations of the MiB methodology. Steroid-based hybrid macrolactams including heterocycle and aryl moieties were obtained by utilizing cholanic dicarboxylic acids and diamines in a bidirectional double Ugi-Four-Component (Ugi-4CR) based macrocyclization protocol. Alternatively, N-substituted cyclocholami...

The influence of Fe(II) on the dissimilatory bacterial reduction of an Fe(III) aqueous complex (Fe(III)-citrate(aq)) was investigated using Shewanella putrefaciens strain CN32. The sorption of Fe(II) on CN32 followed a Langmuir isotherm. Least-squares fitting gave a maximum sorption capacity of Qmax = 4.19 x 10(-3) mol/10(12) cells (1.19 mmol/m2 of cell surface area) and an affinity coefficient...

We report the isolation and characterization of a phototrophic ferrous iron [Fe(II)]-oxidizing bacterium named TIE-1 that differs from other Fe(II)-oxidizing phototrophs in that it is genetically tractable. Under anaerobic conditions, TIE-1 grows photoautotrophically with Fe(II), H2, or thiosulfate as the electron donor and photoheterotrophically with a variety of organic carbon sources. TIE-1 ...

the reaction of an equivalent of 2- mercaptoethyl ammonium chloride with an equivalent of 2,6-diformyl -4- methyl phenol produced monoamine which was reacted with half equivalent of 1,2-diamine ethane to produce ethylene-bis-6-(2-mercapto-ethyl-imine)-methyl -4- methyl phenol [h4l]. the ligand was reacted with metal ions[cr(iii), mn(ii), fe(ii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii), and hg(ii...

Kinetic labilization of the Fe(III)–O coordination bond in a mesoporous metal–organic framework, PCN-333-Fe(III), is realized by the reduction of Fe(III) by Cr(II). The Fe(II)–Cr(II) metathesis is thus completely achieved followed by this reductive labilization process that generates PCN-333-Cr(III). The kinetic inertness of Cr(III) provides PCN-333-Cr(III) with enhanced chemical stability as w...

The trinuclear title compound, [Fe3(C3H6S2)2(CO)7], is a mixed-valent Fe(I)/Fe(II) complex and crystallizes with two mol-ecules of similar configuration in the asymmetric unit. The three Fe atoms in each mol-ecule display a bent arrangement [Fe-Fe-Fe = 156.22 (4) and 157.06 (3)°]. Both outer Fe(I) atoms are six-coordinated in a distorted ocahedral coordination geometry defined by the bridging F...

We present an analysis of the chemical and ionization conditions in a sample of 100 weak Mg ii absorbers identified in the VLT/UVES archive of quasar spectra. In addition to Mg ii, we present equivalent width and column density measurements of other low ionization species such as Mg i, Fe ii, Al ii, C ii, Si ii and also Al iii. We find that the column densities of C ii and Si ii are strongly co...

In an attempt to assess the physical realism of the plage flux tube model derived by Bellot Rubio, Ruiz Cobo & Collados (1997, 1998) we extend its predictions to the Stokes V zero-crossing shifts of a number of Fe ii lines. For this analysis, accurate Fe ii central wavelengths are required. We have devised a procedure for bringing the available Fe ii laboratory wavelengths to the system of accu...
