The title compound, [CaCo2(C22H30N4O6)2](ClO4)2·1.36H2O or {Ca[Co(H-2L1)]2}·2ClO4·1.36H2O {where L1 is 4,10-bis-[(3-hy-droxy-4-pyron-2-yl)meth-yl]-1,7-dimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetra-aza-cyclo-dodecane}, is a trinuclear complex whose asymmetric unit comprises a quarter of the {Ca[Co(H-2L1)]2}2+ trinuclear complex, half of a perchlorate ion and 0.34-water mol-ecules. In the neutral [Co(H-2L1)] moiety, t...

BACKGROUND The mitochondrial gene COI has been widely used by taxonomists as a standard DNA barcode sequence for the identification of many animal species. However, the COI region is of limited use for identifying certain species and is not efficiently amplified by PCR in all animal taxa. To evaluate the utility of COI as a DNA barcode and to identify other barcode genes, we chose the aphid sub...

Two new cobaltous-porphyrin complexes, namely (?-piperazine)-bis[(meso-tetra(para-methoxyphenyl)porphyrinato)]cobalt(II) and (piperazine)[meso-tetra(para-chlorophenyl)porphyrin]cobalt(II) dichloromethane disolvate, with the formulas [{CoII(TMPP)}2(?2-pipz)] (complex 1) [CoII(TClPP)(pipz)]·2CH2Cl2 2), were used efficiently as catalysts in degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) an aqueous hydrogen p...

In the title compound, [Co(C8H5O4)(C9H6N7)] n , the divalent CoII atom is six-coordinated to three N atoms from two symmetrical 5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1H,2'H-3,3'-bi[1,2,4-triazole] (H2pyttz) ligands and three O atoms from three symmetrical 3-carb-oxy-benzoate (Hbdic) ligands, leading to a distorted {CoN3O3} octa-hedral coordination environment. Two CoII cations are linked by four bridging carboxyl-a...

We report the CoII-substitution effect on a cyanido-bridged three-dimensional FeII spin-crossover network, Fe2[Nb(CN)8](4-pyridinealdoxime)8·2H2O. A series of iron–cobalt octacyanidoniobate, (FexCo1−x)2[Nb(CN)8](4-pyridinealdoxime)8·zH2O, was prepared. In this series, the behavior of FeII spin-crossover changes with the CoII concentration. As the CoII concentration increases, the transition of ...

The aim of this study is to measure human mitochondrial sequence variability in the relatively slowly evolving mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) and to estimate when the human common ancestral mitochondrial type existed. New COII gene sequences were determined for five humans (Homo sapiens), including some of the most mitochondrially divergent humans known; for two pygmy c...

The population genetic structure of Simulium tani was inferred from mitochondria-encoded sequences of cytochrome c oxidase subunits I (COI) and II (COII) along an elevational gradient in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. A statistical parsimony network of 71 individuals revealed 71 haplotypes in the COI gene and 43 haplotypes in the COII gene; the concatenated sequences of the COI and COII genes rev...

In the title compound, [Co(C11H12NO6P)(C6H5N3)2]·C6H5N3, the 2,2'-[N-(phenyl-phospho-rylmethyl-κO)aza-nedi-yl]di-acetate dianion N,O,O',O''-chelates the CoII cation and two 1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole mol-ecules coordinate to the CoII cation to complete the slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination. In the crystal, classical O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mo...
