the reaction of an equivalent of 2- mercaptoethyl ammonium chloride with an equivalent of 2,6-diformyl -4- methyl phenol produced monoamine which was reacted with half equivalent of 1,2-diamine ethane to produce ethylene-bis-6-(2-mercapto-ethyl-imine)-methyl -4- methyl phenol [h4l]. the ligand was reacted with metal ions[cr(iii), mn(ii), fe(ii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii), and hg(ii...

the expensive nature of metal ions detoxification from wastewater have restricted the use of conventional treatment technologies. cheap, alternative measures have been adopted to eliminate metal contamination, and adsorptions using agricultural adsorbents seem to be the way forward. the use of agricultural adsorbents for cadmium (ii), copper (ii) and lead (ii) ion removal has gained more intere...

Blue copper proteins (Type I) exhibit unusual spectral and chemical properties such as higher reduction potentials and small hyperfine coupling constants A|| in the EPR spectrum in comparison with other copper(II) complexes. Such unusual properties are justified partly by the tetralhedral geometry around the copper(II) site and partly by the CuN2S2 chromophores in which the soft S atoms coordin...

The metal ion copper is a cofactor essential for maintaining normal biological and physical functions in human beings. High copper levels have been found in variety of tumor tissues and are involved in tumor angiogenesis processes. The ubiquitin-proteasome system plays an important role in cell growth and apoptosis and has been shown as a novel target for cancer therapy. We previously reported ...

The copper(II)-histidine complex obtained following dialysis of human plasma with histidine was investigated using various types of extraction systems and ion exchange resins. According to the results obtained, the Cu(II)-histidine complex formed under the dialysis conditions has one positive charge. Preconcentration of copper from the dialysis solution was achieved by its extraction as a dithi...

In the title compound, [Cu(2)Mn(C(5)HN(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(6)](n), the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms, two O atoms and one water O atom in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The Mn(II) ion is coordinated by two O atoms and four water O atoms in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Two pyrazolyl-3,5-dicarboxyl-ate anions chelate to two copper ions, forming a dinuclear unit, which furthe...

ABSTRACT. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are gaining popularity because of their small size allowing for research into the fundamentals magnetism. In wastewater treatment, adsorption methods commonly remove heavy metals, but copper (Cu+2) ion removal using magnetic (NPs) has not been investigated. this study two different modes were used to determine maximum capacity copper(II). The containing F...

The title dinuclear copper complex, [Cu(2)(C(15)H(15)N(6)O)Cl(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)]ClO(4), was prepared by the reaction of copper(II) chloride with bis-[1-(2-pyrid-yl)ethyl-idene]carbonohydrazide in the presence of sodium perchlorate in a methanol solution. It features a mono-deprotonated bis-tridentate ligand, which coordinates to two independent Cu(II) ions, one of which is coordinated by pyridyl N...

Under copper limiting growth conditions the methanotrophic bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) secrets essentially only one protein, MopE*, to the medium. MopE* is a copper-binding protein whose structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure of MopE* revealed a unique high affinity copper binding site consisting of two histidine imidazoles and one kynurenine, the la...
