Medium-pore (diameter ~ 6A) zeolites such as ZSM-5 and silicalite impregnated with Group VIII metals provide selective catalytic pathways for the conversion of synthesis gas to gasoline or olefins. Mössbauer and magnetic studies on these catalysts containing iron or iron plus cobalt are reported. The zeolites were impregnated with metal nitrate solutions, reduced, and carbided to yield showed F...

A novel Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid mixed ligands complex of formula [Co(NO3)2].6H2O has been obtained by the reaction of Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid with cobalt nitrate and 1,10-phenanthroline on heating in water. The structures of [Co(pydc)(Phen)(H2O)](pydcH2).4H2O receptors, and their complexes were optimized using DFT method at the B3LYP/3-21G** level. The highest occupied molecular o...

Reaction of cobalt(II) nitrate with potassium seleno-cyanate and pyridazine leads to single crystals of the title compound, [Co(NCSe)(2)(C(4)H(4)N(2))(4)]·2C(4)H(4)N(2), which is isotypic with its nickel(II) thio-cyanate analogue. The Co(2+) cations are coordinated by two N-bonded seleno-cyanate ligands and four N atoms from four pyridazine ligands into discrete complexes. The complexes are arr...

In the title compound, [Co(C(13)H(9)ClN(3)O)(2)]NO(3)·1.5H(2)O, the central Co(3+) atom in the cation is coordinated by four N and two O atoms from the two tridentate ligands in a distorted octa-hedral fashion. In the crystal, the cobalt complex cations are linked to the half-occupied and the fully occupied water mol-ecules, and the nitrate anion via classical inter-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hy...

Cement-based wasteforms are among the most commonly used waste disposal and site remediation options. However, concrete knowledge of the processes controlling long-term performance of the wasteforms is lacking. This research evaluates the effect of carbonation on cementitious wasteforms. Wasteforms were reacted with carbon dioxide for a prolonged period and then subjected to leaching tests. Ion...

Mixed ligands biologically active complexes of cobalt(II), copper(II) and nickel(II) with nicotinoylhydrazine-derived ONO, NNO and SNO donor schiff-base ligands having the same metal ion but different anions such as sulphate, nitrate, oxalate and acetate have been synthesised and characterised on the basis of their physical, analytical and spectral data. In order to evaluate the role of anions ...
