A Zn-salen-modified cavitand templates the catalytic formation of acetylcholine from choline and acetic anhydride.

the crystal structure of the compound c20 h24 n2 o24 was determined by direct methods. thecrystals are monoclinic, space group p21/n, and unit cell parameters are: a= 10.2342 (9), b=4.8763 (5),c=19.3578 (11) a, β =98.9632 (10) o ,v=956.6 (5) a3, z=2, dc=1.239grm-3, dm=1.22grm-3. the final rfactorsare converged to r=0.059 and rw=0.056 for 553 independent observed reflections. themolecules are li...

Unique homoleptic cyclic tetranuclear Ln4(Salen)4 complexes [Ln4(L)2(HL)2(μ3-OH)2Cl2]·2Cl (Ln = Nd, 1; Ln = Yb, 2; Ln = Er, 3; Ln = Gd, 4) or Ln4(Salen)2 complexes [Ln4(L)2(μ3-OH)2(OAc)6] (Ln = Nd, 5; Ln = Yb, 6; Ln = Er, 7; Ln = Gd, 8) have been self-assembled from the reaction of the hexadentate Salen-type Schiff-base ligand H2L with LnCl3·6H2O or Ln(OAc)6·6H2O (Ln = Nd, Yb, Er, or Gd), respe...

Effects of Mn redox cycling on the stability of bioreduced U(IV) are evaluated here. U(VI) can be biologically reduced to less soluble U(IV) species and the stimulation of biological activity to that end is a salient remediation strategy; however, the stability of these materials in the subsurface environments where they form remains unproven. Manganese oxides are capable of rapidly oxidizing U...

The reaction of a heteroligated Rh(I) bimetallic macrocycle with rigid ditopic ligands (1,4-dicyanobenzene, 4-4'-dicyanobiphenyl, or dipyridyl terminated salen ligand 5) results in the formation of tetrametallic rectangular box complexes.

This study introduces new methods of screening for and tuning chiral space and in so doing identifies a promising set of chiral ligands for asymmetric synthesis. The carbafructopyranosyl-1,2-diamine(s) and salens constructed therefrom are particularly compelling. It is shown that by removing the native anomeric effect in this ligand family, one can tune chiral ligand shape and improve chiral bi...

Sorbent materials based on a hydrazone Schiff base compound, C(14)H(11)BrN(4)O(4), were prepared either by immobilizing the ligand into sol-gel (SG1) or bonding to silica (SG2). The sorbent materials were characterized by FT-IR, EDX, SEM, TEM, and TGA. The sorption characteristics of a matrix of eight transition metal ions (Ag(+), Cu(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Fe(3+), Pb(2+), Zn(2+), and Mn(2+)) usin...

presently there are a number of fine and sensitive methods for determining chemical or biochemical substance among which bio electrodes represent the most recent development. bioelectrodes consist of biologically active materials (e.g enzyme, antibody, whole cell or cell fragments) held in close proximity to a suitable electrochemical transducer that sense specific electroactive enzyme substrat...
