In the present study, micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) was used to remove manganese (Mn) (II) from synthetic wastewater. The effects of different operational conditions on the filtration performance of MEUF or the membrane were studied. It was found that the transmembrane pressure has a major influence on the permeate flux and an insignificant effect on the rejection coefficient. The pe...

The title compound [Mn6(C7H4NO3)5(C3H5O2)2(C4H6N2)4.17(C3H7NO)1.83]·0.24C3H7NO·1.36CH3OH or Mn(II)(C3H5O2)2[15-MCMn(III)N(shi)-5](Me-Im)4.17(DMF)1.83·0.24DMF·1.36MeOH (where MC is metallacrown, shi(3-) is salicyl-hydroximate, Me-Im is 1-methyl-imidazole, DMF is N,N-di-methyl-formamide, and MeOH is methanol), contains an Mn(II) ion in the central cavity and five Mn(III) ions in the MC ring. The ...

The crystal and molecular structures of [bis(5-chloro-2methoxybenzoate)tetraaquamanganese(II)], [pentaaqua(5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoato)cobalt(II)] (5chloro-2-methoxybenzoate), [pentaaqua(5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoato)nickel(II)] (5-chloro-2methoxybenzoate) and [aquabis(5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoate)zinc(II)] monohydrate were determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. Mn(H2O)4L2 (where L = C8H6ClO3...

The new acyclic and potentially heptadentate dinucleating ligand, 2,6-bis(N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-sulfonamido)-4-methylphenolato (bpsmp(-)) contains two tertiary sulfonamide groups. The sulfonamide donors permit a greater degree of control over the accessibility of mono versus dinuclear complexes compared to their closely related amine-containing counterparts, on account of their relatively w...

Background Melanin and manganese are both indispensable natural substances that play crucial roles in the human body. Melanin has been used as a multimodality imaging nanoplatform for biology science research because of its natural binding ability with metal ions (eg, 64Cu2+, Fe3+, and Gd3+). Because of its effects on T1 signal enhancement, Mn-based nanoparticles have been used in magnetic reso...

Treatment of [Mn(dpop)(H2O)2]Cl2 (dpop = 2,13-dimethyl-3,6,9,12,18-pentaazabicyclo-[12.3.1]octadeca-1(18),2,12,14,16-pentaene) with K4[Mo(CN)7]·2H2O under varied synthetic conditions afforded four different compounds: {[Mn(dpop)]4[(dpop)Mn(H2O)]2[Mo(III)(CN)7]3·27H2O}n (1), {[(dpop)Mn(H2O)][Mo(III)(CN)7][Mn(dpop)]3[Mo(IV)(CN)8]·29H2O}n (2), {[(dpop)Mn(H2O)]2[Mo(IV)(CN)8]2[Mn(dpop)]4[Mo(III)(CN)...

The extraction of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) and Mn(II) with potassium-dihydro-bispyrazolyl-borate (H(2)BPz(2)(-)) in dichloromethane has been studied. Extraction constants (logK(ex)) have been calculated for all metal systems and were compared with those obtained with dibenzoylmethane (DBM), thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (HPMBP)...

We have found that copper(II) ions at about equimolar Cu2+/photosystem II (PS II) reaction center proportions stimulate oxygen evolution nearly twofold. This high affinity Cu-binding site is different from the binding sites of Mn and Ca ions. The analysis of the Cu2+ content in PS II preparations isolated from wild-type tobacco and a tobacco mutant deficient in light-harvesting complex suggests...

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn(C3H7NO)6][{Mn(C3H7NO)5}2(μ-P2W18O62)]·2C3H7NO, reveals that the Wells-Dawson-type polyanion [P2W18O62](6-), through terminal O atoms from the belts, bridges two Mn(II) octa-hedral complexes. In the complex anion [{Mn(dmf)5}2(μ-P2W18O62)](2-), located around a twofold rotation axis, the Mn(II) ions are coordinated by five O atoms from di-methyl-fo...

Density functional theory (DFT) studies have been undertaken to compute the magnetic exchange and to probe the origin of the magnetic interactions in two hetero- and two homo-valent heptanuclear manganese disc-like clusters, of formula [Mn(II) 4 Mn(IV) 3 (tea)(teaH2 )3 (peolH)4 ] (1), [Mn(II) 4 Mn(III) 3 F3 (tea)(teaH)(teaH2 )2 (piv)4 (Hpiv)(chp)3 ] (2), [Mn(II) 7 (pppd)6 (tea)(OH)3 ] (3) and [...
