The title compound, [Cu2(ClO4)(C14H13N2O)2(H2O)]ClO4, crystallizes as an unsymmetrical dinuclear cation bridged by the phen-oxy O atoms with one CuII atom coordinated by a water mol-ecule and the other by a perchlorate anion, thus making both CuII atoms five-coordinate, and with a further perchlorate anion present for charge balance. A long inter-action [2.9893 (5) Å] between one of the two CuI...

Fabrication and electrochemical characteristics of the meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) self-assembled monolayer modified gold electrode were described. The modified electrode exhibited increased sensitivity and selectivity for CuII compared to the bare gold electrode by stripping voltammetry and the peak current was proportional to the concentration of CuII in the range of 8.0 10–7 1.2 ...

In the title complex, [Ca2Cu(C9H3O6)2(H2O)2] n , the CaII and CuII cations are bridged by the benzene-1,3,5-tri-carboxyl-ate anions (BTC3-) to form the coordination polymer, in which each BTC3- anion bridges two CuII and five CaII cations with a μ7 coordination mode. The CuII cation, located at an inversion centre, is in a nearly square-planar geometry defined by four O atoms from four bridging...

The mononuclear copper title complex {N,N,N',N'-tetra-kis-[(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)meth-yl]ethane-1,2-di-amine-κ6N}copper(II) bis-(tetra-fluorido-borate), [Cu(C30H36N6)](BF4)2, is conveniently prepared from the reaction of Cu(BF4)2·6H2O with N,N,N',N'-tetra-kis-[(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)meth-yl]ethane-1,2-di-amine (tmpen) in aceto-nitrile at room temperature in air. The complex shows a distorted o...

Plasma-based ion implantation (PBII) is usually carried out with isotropic gaseous plasmas, such as a discharge in nitrogen. More recently, it has been applied using drifting plasmas, such as those produced by cathodic arcs, in order to allow efficient implantation of metallic species. The condensable nature of a cathodic arc plasma allows for the deposition of ion-stitched thin film coatings, ...

A sensitive colourimetric method for lead (PbII) detection is reported in this paper using a common tripeptide, glutathione (GSH), and label-free gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). A limit of detection of 6.0 ppb in water was achieved and the dynamic linear range was up to 500 ppb. Selectivity over fourteen potential interfering metal ions was tested and most of these metal ions do not interfere with ...

Copper is an important micronutrient, and it present in some protein structures, as well participate several biological processes. Due to its importance, ligands are used studied like carriers of copper the systems. This work has investigated affinity CuII by three interest: N,N,N,N’-tetrakis (2-pyridilmethyl) ethylenediamine (TPEN), triethylenetetramine (TRIEN), diethyldithiocarbamate (Et2DTC)...

Through the strategic design of ligands based on amino acids, structural diversity in chiral coordination architectures of CuII is demonstrated with six new examples: {[Cu(L-HTyrbenz)2]·CH3OH·H2O}n (1), {[Cu(L-HSerbenz)2]·3H2O}n (2), {[Cu(L-HTyrthio)2]·H2O}n (3), [Cu(L-HTyr4-pyr)2(H2O)]·2H2O (4), [Cu(L-HSerthio)2(H2O)] (5), and [Cu(L-Phethio)2(H2O)]·3H2O (6) [where L-H2Tyrbenz = L-N-(benzyl)-ty...

The Cu3O4 layer in Sr2Cu3O4Cl2 is a variant of the square CuO2 lattice of the high-temperature superconductors, in which the center of every second plaquette contains an extra Cu2+ ion. The ions that make up the conventional CuO2 network, called CuI, have CuI-CuI exchange energy ≈130meV, and order antiferromagnetically at about 380 K; the CuII-CuII exchange is only ≈10meV, and the CuII’s order ...

Molecule and molecular assemblies with cavities of different size and shape to encapsulate guest molecules have been synthesized in view of their potential use as selective hosts for anion sensing, catalysis, selective recognition, and separation of guest molecules.[1] Rebek, Jr. and co-workers recently demonstrated that the binding of a reagent inside a capsular cavity boosts the rate of a Die...
