The monomeric title Zn(II) complex, [Zn(C(7)H(4)BrO(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], contains two 4-bromo-benzoate (BB) ligands and two coordinated water mol-ecules around a Zn(II) atom on a twofold rotation axis. The BB ions act as bidentate ligands, with two very dissimilar coordination distances. The sixfold coordination around the Zn(II) may be described as highly distorted octa-hedral, with the two aqua...

Chromophores ranging from simple small molecule π-conjugated systems comprised of phenylene ethynylene or fluorenylethynyl units to cross-conjugated Bunz-type cruciforms have been derivatized to include 1,3-bis(dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl moieties. The photophysical responsiveness of these diamino-substituted chromophores to metal ions has been examined. Both emission enhancement (turn-on) and r...

The title complex, [Zn(NCS)(C(13)H(20)N(2)O(2))(2)]NO(3), consists of a complex mononuclear Zn(II) cation and a nitrate counter-anion. The Zn(II) ion is five-coordinate in a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The thio-cyanate N atom and two O atoms from two Schiff bases define the equatorial plane, and the two imine N atoms from the same two Schiff bases occupy the axial positions, with an N-Zn-N a...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(NCS)(C(12)H(7)ClN(2))(2)][Zn(NCS)(3)(C(12)H(7)ClN(2))], contains two cations and two anions. In the cations, the Zn(II) ions have distorted trigonal-bipyramidal environments formed by four N atoms from two 2-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline (cphen) ligands and one N atom from a thio-cyanate ligand. The Zn(II) atoms in the complex anions also have distort...

A cubic cationic cage is rationally designed by using tridentate boron-imidazolate ligands to link tetrahedral metal Zn(ii) centers, which displays excellent properties in the Cr2O7(2-) exchange and can reduce Au(3+) ions into Au nanoparticles directly.

Substitution of methanol in [Zn(quin)2(CH3OH)2] (quin− denotes an anionic form of quinoline-2-carboxylic acid, also known as quinaldinic acid) with pyridine (Py) or its substituted derivatives, 3,5-lutidine (3,5-Lut), nicotinamide (Nia), 3-hydroxypyridine (3-Py-OH), 3-hydroxymethylpyridine (3-Hmpy), 4-hydroxypyridine (4-Py-OH) and 4-hydroxymethylpyridine (4-Hmpy), afforded a series of novel het...

BACKGROUND Present study deals with the removal of Zn(II) ions from effluent using yeast biofilm formed on gravels. METHODS The biofilm forming ability of Candida rugosa and Cryptococcus laurentii was evaluated using XTT (2,3-bis[2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide) reduction assay and monitored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Confocal laser scanning mic...

1, IO-Phenanthroline interacts with certain zinc metalloenzymes to form enzymatically inactive protein-zinc-phenanthroline complexes exhibiting ultraviolet absorption maxima analogous to those observed for zinc ions and phenanthroline in aqueous systems (1). Such spectral changes offer a means of studying directly the chemical mechanism of the enzymatic inhibition resulting from such interactio...

Relativistic calculations of nonradiative transition rates to K, L, and M -shell vacancy statesin Ni-, Cu-, and Zn-like ions with Z=32, 36, 42, 47, 56, 60, 66, 74, 83, and 92 are performed.Auger and Coster-Kronig transition probabilities are calculated using both Dirac-Hartree-Fockand model-potential wave functions. Tabulated data are presented for Kand L-shells Augerrates in Ni...
