The reaction between copper(II) nitrate and (E)-N-(3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-prop-yl)-2-(hy-droxy-imino)-propanamide led to the formation of the dinuclear centrosymmetric copper(II) title complex, (C8H18N3O2)2[Cu2(C8H15N3O2)2(C8H17N3O2)2](C9H16N3O4)2·2CH3CN, in which an inversion center is located at the midpoint of the Cu2 unit in the center of the neutral [Cu2(C8H15N3O2)2(C8H17N3O2)2] complex frag...

Zinc (Zn), an essential trace element, is secreted by synaptic vesicles during neuronal excitation and plays several critical roles in neuronal information processing. However, excess Zn ion (Zn2+) is neurotoxic and has a causative role in the pathogenesis of vascular dementia. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism of Zn2+-induced neurotoxicity by using immortalized hypothalamic neurons...

oxygen delignified kraft pulp from eucalyptus (e. urophylla × e. grandis) was catalytically pretreated in aerobic condition using ammonium persulfate in present of catalists like cupric acetate and/or cobalt acetate in acetic acid-water solution, i. e. s2o82--cu2+, s2o82--co2+ and s2o82--(cu2++co2+). final bleached pulp after pretreatment with the three catalytic systems showed higher delignifi...

We report the preparation and characterization of 4′-([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3,2′:6′,3″-terpyridine (1), 4′-(4′-fluoro-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3,2′:6′,3″-terpyridine (2), 4′-(4′-chloro-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3,2′:6′,3″-terpyridine (3), 4′-(4′-bromo-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3,2′:6′,3″-terpyridine (4), 4′-(4′-methyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3,2′:6′,3″-terpyridine (5), their reactions with copper(II) acetat...

the adsorption thermodynamic characteristic of cu2+ from aqueous solution onto humin andalso humic acid from a typical black soil in northeast china were examined at three different temperatures(298, 318 and 338 k) by batch isotherm experiments. results showed that humin was structurally differentfrom humic acid. the increase of temperature had a positive effect on the adsorption process. freun...

On the basis of the crystaland ligand-field theory, the high-order perturbation formulas of the g factors (gx, gy, gz) are established for Cu2+ ions in an orthorhombic tetrahedral field with D2 symmetry, including the central cationic and ligand anionic spin-orbital coupling interactions. By using these formulas, the anisotropic g factors of Cu2+ ion in (CuCl4)2− cluster are calculated. The res...

Many metal ions are present in biology and in the human body in trace amounts. Despite numerous efforts, metal sensors with ultrahigh sensitivity (< a few picomolar) are rarely achieved. Here, we describe a platform method that integrates a Cu2+-dependent DNAzyme into graphene-molecule junctions and its application for direct detection of paramagnetic Cu2+ with femtomolar sensitivity and high s...
