The crystal structure and the magnetic properties of a heterodinuclear complex, [LCu(Me2CO)Gd(NO3)3]2 (L=N,N’-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane) are reported: [(C19H20N2O4)Cu(C3H6O)Gd(NO3)3]2, triclinic, space group P1, with a = 12.118.3(9), b = 13.562(3), c = 9.391(3) Å, α = 93.03(3), β = 107.65(2), γ = 73.07(2)◦ , V = 1406.0(7) Å3, Z = 1. The crystal structure consists of...

High-valent oxoiron(iv) porphyrin p-cation radicals 2 are generally accepted to be the key reactive intermediates in a variety of oxidation reactions by heme-containing enzymes such as cytochromes P450, peroxidases, and catalases.[1,2] Extensive studies with synthetic iron(iii) porphyrin complexes and various terminal oxidants have shown that 2 is generated by heterolytic O X bond cleavage of [...

This paper reviews recent studies of highly conductive barium iron vanadate glass with a composition of 20 BaO ∙ 10 Fe2O3 ∙ 70 V2O5 (in mol %). Isothermal annealing of the vanadate glass for several ten minutes at a given temperature, higher than glass transition temperature or crystallization temperature, caused an increase in σ. Substitution of CuI (3d10), ZnII (3d10) and CuII (3d9) for FeIII...

The interpeptidic CuII exchange rate constants were measured for two Cu amyloid-? complexes, Cu(A?1–16) and Cu(A?1–28), to fluorescent peptides GHW DAHW using a quantitative tryptophan fluorescence quenching methodology. second-order determined at three pH values (6.8, 7.4, 8.7) important the Cu(A?) coordination components Cu(A?)I Cu(A?)II. constant is approximately 104 M–1 s–1 but varies in ma...

Molecule and molecular assemblies with cavities of different size and shape to encapsulate guest molecules have been synthesized in view of their potential use as selective hosts for anion sensing, catalysis, selective recognition, and separation of guest molecules.[1] Rebek, Jr. and co-workers recently demonstrated that the binding of a reagent inside a capsular cavity boosts the rate of a Die...

Copper(II) forms 1:1 and 1:2 intense red complexes with phenanthraquinone monophenylthiosemicarbazone (PPT) at pH 3-3.5 and > or =6.5, respectively. These complexes exhibit maximal absorbance at 545 and 517 nm, the molar absorptivity being 2.3 x 10(4) and 4.8 x 10(4) l mol(-1) cm(-1), respectively. However, the 1:1 complex was quantitatively floated with oleic acid (HOL) surfactant in the pH ra...

Crystals of bis-(tetra-butyl-ammonium) di-μ3-chlorido--tris-(μ2-4-iodo-pyrazolato-κ2N:N')tris-[chlorido-cuprate(II)] 1,4-dioxane hemisolvate, (C16H36N)2[Cu3(C3H2IN2)3Cl5]·0.5C4H8O or (Bu4N)2[CuII3(μ3-Cl)2(μ-4-I-pz)3Cl3]·0.5C4H8O, were obtained by evaporating a solution of (Bu4N)2[{CuII(μ-OH)(μ-4-I-pz)} n CO3] (n = 27-31) nanojars in chloro-form/1,4-dioxane. The decomposition of chloro-form in t...

Reaction of [(Me3tacn)Cu(H2O)2]2+ (Me3tacn = N,N',N' '-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) with [TpFe(CN)3]- (Tp- = hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate) in a mixture of ethanol and acetonitrile affords the pentanuclear cluster [Tp2(Me3tacn)3Cu3Fe2(CN)6]4+. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals a trigonal bipyramidal structure featuring a D3h-symmetry core in which two opposing FeIII (S = 1/2) centers are...
