Complex wastewater with massive components is now a serious environmental issue facing humanity. Selective removal of low-concentration contaminants in mixed constituents holds great promise for increasing water supplies. Bioenzymes like horseradish peroxidase exhibit oxidizing power and selectivity. Here, we manufactured its mimic through immobilizing non-heme oxamate anionic cobalt(III) compl...

Despite extensive revisions over recent decades, the taxonomy of benthic octopuses (Family Octopodidae) remains in a considerable flux. Among groups of unresolved status is a species complex of morphologically similar shallow-water octopods from subtropical Australasia, including: Allopatric populations of Octopus tetricus on the eastern and western coasts of Australia, of which the Western Aus...

The carcinogenicity of estrogens in rodents and man has been attributed to either alkylation of cellular macromolecules and/or redox-cycling, generation of active radicals and DNA damage. Metabolic activation of estradiol leading to the formation of catechol estrogens is believed to be a prerequisite for its genotoxic effects. 4-Hydroxyestradiol is a potent inducer of tumors in hamsters. Previo...

Treatment of an S-bridged penta-nuclear AgI3CoIII2 complex, [Ag3{Co(L)}2]3+ [L3- = N(CH2NHCH2CH2S-)3], in which two tris-(thiol-ate)-type mononuclear CoIII units ([Co(L)]) are bridged by three AgI ions through S atoms, with iodo-methane (CH3I) gave a new CoIII mononuclear complex, [Co(LMe2)]2+ [LMe2- = N(CH2NHCH2CH2S-)(CH2NHCH2CH2SCH3)2], systematic name: {2-[(bis{[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]amino...

In blue mussels of the Mytilus edulis species complex, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance is coupled with gender. Females receive their mother's mtDNA and pass it on to both their daughters and sons. In addition, males receive mtDNA from their father and transmit this male mtDNA to their sons. If this pattern of "doubly uniparental inheritance" is older than the M. edulis species complex, th...

Die ersten oktaedrisch koordinierten CoII-Komplexe mit redoxaktivem Bisguanidin-Liganden und acac-Coliganden wurden synthetisiert hinsichtlich ihrer Redoxchemie analysiert. N-H-Funktionen in einem partiell alkylierten Guanidino-Gruppen bilden N-H⋅⋅⋅O-Brücken zu den beeinflussen dadurch stark die Redoxchemie. Bei allen Komplexen ist erste 1 e−-Oxidation metallzentriert führt CoIII-Komplexen neut...

A series of CoIII carboxylate based upon N,N,O,O-tetradentate Schiff base ligand framework have been prepared. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms that these Schiff base CoIII carboxylate are all monomeric species with a six-coordinated central Co in their solid structures. The activities and polycarbonate selectivity of these complexes toward the copolymerization of epoxide (cyclohexene oxide ...

An octahedral cobalt(III) complex, trans-[(Me2bpb)Co(bzlan)2]ClO4 (1), with H2Me2bpb = N,N’-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)dipicolinamide and bzlan = benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The structure of this complex has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The Me2bpb2– is a di-anionic tetradentate ligand furnishing a ...

Six new mononuclear [FeIII(LBr,Cl)X]-complexes (LBr,Cl is the dianionic penta-N3O2-dentate Schiff base ligand N,N?-bis(2’-hydroxy-3-bromo-5-chlorobenzylidene)-1,6-diamino-3-azahexane; X: Cl?, N3?, NCO?, NCS?, NCSe?, CN?) were synthesized and their structures, magnetic electrochemical properties studied. Structure analysis measurements showed that [FeIII(LBr,Cl)CN] in low spin state other five c...
