Crystal structures and magnetic properties of polymeric and trinuclear heterobimetallic MnIII···PtII···MnIII coordination compounds, prepared from the Ba[Pt(CN)₄] and [Mn(L4A/B)(Cl)] (1a/b) precursor complexes, are reported. The polymeric complex [{Mn(L4A)}₂{μ⁴-Pt(CN)₄}]n (2a), where H₂L4A = N,N'-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminate), comprises the {Mn(L4A)} moieties covalently connected through th...

the mononuclear gd(iii) complex, [gd(l)3(h2o)5] (where l is alizarin yellow r (nac13h8n3o5)), has been prepared in h2o under reflux condition. the gd(iii) complex has been characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods (uv–vis and ft–ir). the gd2o3 nanoparticles were prepared by the calcination of the gd(iii) complex in air at different temperatures up to 600 °c for 2 h. the calc...

The element and orbital-specific electronic structure of thin films of the organic material N,N'-ethylene-bis(1,1,1-trifluoropentane-2,4-dioneiminato)-copper(II) (designated as Cu-TFAC) has been studied using a combination of synchrotron radiation-excited resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculati...

the potential of citrobacter freundii, a gram negative bacteria for the remediation of hexavalentchromium (cr(vi)) and trivalent chromium (cr(iii)) from aqueous solutions was investigated. bioremediationof cr(vi) involved both biosorption and bioreduction processes, as compared to only biosorption processobserved with respect to cr(iii) bioremediation. in the case of cr(vi) bioremediation studi...

six new complexes of the type trans-[lco((do)(doh)pn)l'] where (do)(doh)pn= n2, n2'-propanediolbis (2,3-butanedione 2-imine 3-oxime), l-cl¯ and l'=mono-anaion of phenylcyanamide (pcyd), 2,5-dichlorophenylcyanamide (2,5-cl2 pcyd), 2,4-dimethyl pehylcyanamide (2,4-me2 pcyd) and l=l'=pcyd, 2,5-cl2 pcyd, 2,4-me2 pcyd, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopy and c...

Oxidation of the diferric complex [LFe(III)OFe(III)L] to the monoradical complex [LFe(III)OFe(III)L ](+) and the diradical complex [L Fe(III)OFe(III)L ](2+) is followed by a decay into monomeric complexes including a highly reactive putative [LFe(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]O] complex.
