The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(HPO(4))(C(2)H(3)N(3))](n), contains one Zn(2+) cation, one (HPO(4))(2-) anion and a 1,2,4 triazole ligand. The Zn(2+) cation is coordinated in a quite regular tetra-hedral geometry by O atoms from three phosphate groups and a tertiary N atom from the triazole ring. Each phosphate anion is connected to three Zn(II) cations, leading to a series of co...

The general objective of this study was to trace the intensi®cation process on sandy soils in the Birni N'Konni area of south central Niger and to identify the role of traditional and modern inputs. The primary hypothesis is that farmers intensify ®rst using traditional inputs, such as traditional varieties, labor and manure, and turn to modern inputs, like inorganic fertilizer, improved variet...

We report the characterization of multifunctional rigid-rod beta-barrel ion channels with either internal aspartates or arginine-histidine dyads by planar bilayer conductance experiments. Barrels with internal aspartates form cation selective, large, unstable and ohmic barrel-stave (rather than toroidal) pores; addition of magnesium cations nearly deletes cation selectivity and increases single...

The results from this study illustrate the first time electrospray ionization-ion mobility spectrometry (ESI-IMS) has been used to separate inorganic cations in aqueous solutions. Using ESI-IMS nine inorganic cation solutions were analyzed. Counter ions affected both the sensitivity and the identity of the response ions. Aluminum sulfate, lanthanum chloride, strontium chloride, uranyl acetate, ...

Among various all-inorganic halide perovskites exhibiting better stability than organic-inorganic halide perovskites, a-CsPbI3with themost suitable band gap for tandem solar cell application faces an issue of phase instability under ambient conditions. We discovered that a small amount of two-dimensional (2D) EDAPbI4 perovskite containing the ethylenediamine (EDA) cation stabilizes the a-CsPbI3...

Abstract Investigations on the effect of single or double A-site cation engineering photovoltaic performance bismuth perovskite-inspired materials (A 3 Bi 2 I 9 ) are rare. Herein, we report novel single- and double-cation based developed by (1) completely replacing CH NH + (methylammonium, MA in with various organic cations such as CH(NH (formamidinium, FA ), (CH (dimethylammonium, DMA C(NH (g...

Our previous efforts have used in vitro selection to identify numerous Zn(2+)-dependent deoxyribozymes that ligate two RNA substrates with reaction at a 2',3'-cyclic phosphate. Each deoxyribozyme creates one of several different RNA linkages, including native 3'-5' and non-native 2'-5' phosphodiester bonds as well as many unnatural linkages. In this report, we describe experiments to reveal des...

Objective The goal of this laboratory exercise is to acquaint students with some of the chemical reactions that result in the binding of inorganic and organic pollutants in subsurface materials. Extractants used by engineers to release contaminants at hazardous waste sites (where mixtures of both types of contaminants are present) may or may not prove effective, depending upon their mechanism o...
