Hexa-methyl-phospho-ramide (hmp), tetra-thio-tungstate, silver sulfide and dysprosium nitrate were self-assembled, forming an anionic [AgWS(4)](n) (n) (-) chain in the title compound, {[Dy(NO(3))(2)(C(6)H(18)N(3)OP)(4)][AgWS(4)]}(n). The central Dy atom in the cation is coordinated by eight O atoms from two didentate nitrate and four hmp ligands, giving rise to a distorted square anti-prismatic...

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), luminescent π-conjugated anionic polymer and montmorillonite (MMT) were orderly assembled into luminescent multilayer films via layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The electronic microenvironment (EME), the structure of which is like a traditional capacitor, can be constructed by exfoliated LDHs or MMT nanosheets. In addition, the rigid inorganic laminated con...

The properties of neutral and anionic Pd(N) clusters were investigated with spin-density-functional calculations. The ground-state structures are three dimensional for N>3 and they are magnetic with a spin triplet for 2 < or = N < or = 7 and a spin nonet for N = 13 neutral clusters. Structural and spin isomers were determined and an anomalous increase of the magnetic moment with temperature is ...

In this communication, we report the fabrication of silica nanospheres with a double mesoporous core-shell structure by a one-templating step two-pot synthesis route using an anionic surfactant.

Anionic water clusters have long been studied to infer properties of the bulk hydrated electron. In particular, the question of whether the excess electron is on the surface of the cluster or in the interior of the clusters has been the subject of much speculation. The successes of solid-state physics are built on exploiting the regularity of atomic arrangements in crystal. Describing the cryst...

The aim of this study was to develop a theoretical model using Anopheles gambiae GSTE2 structure as template for Aedes aegypti GSTE2 by homology modeling Docking simulations were performed for both the enzymes against usnic acid in neutral and anionic forms. Ramachandran plot revealed that 93.9% of the GSTE2 model residues were located on most favored regions. Model evaluation was made by the A...

We present the spontaneous crystallization of a new chiral open-framework borophosphate in an ionothermal system. Its structure contains a three-dimensional (3D) anionic framework with intersecting 12-ring channels formed by interweaving helical chains.

Systematic explorations of new compounds in the La(3+)-V(4+)/V(5+)-iodate system led to three new lanthanum(III) vanadium iodates, namely, LaVO(IO(3))(5), LaV(2)O(6)(IO(3)), and LaVO(2)(IO(3))(4).H(2)O. LaVO(IO(3))(5) is isostructural with LaTiO(IO(3))(5) and its structure contains a 0D [VO(IO(3))(5)](3-) anionic unit composed of one VO(6) octahedron linked to five IO(3)(-) groups. Such 0D anio...

[figure: see text] A tandem anionic 5-exo-dig cyclization/Claisen rearrangement sequence was used to effect a facile, "one-pot" conversion of an appropriately substituted 4-alkyn-1-ol to the tetracyclic carbon core structure of phorbol. The synthesis was conducted using readily available nonracemic starting materials to provide the target structure as a single enantiomer in high chemical yield.
