Presented here are three organic-decorated manganese selenidostannates with various structural dimensionalities (D), namely, 1D – SnSe3Mn(en)2 (en = ethylenediamine) (1), 2D – SnSe3Mn(en) (2) and 3D – MnSnSe4Mn(en)2 (3). 2 and 3 represent the first 2D and 3D organic-decorated Mn–Sn–Se compounds, respectively. A structural transformation was observed between 1 and 2.

Reactions between ethylenediamine (en) solutions of the intermetallic Zintl phases K(3)E(7) (E = P, As) and a series of homoleptic post-transition metal organometallics such as Cu(5)(Mes)(5), M(C(6)H(5))(2) (M = Zn, Cd) and In(C(6)H(5))(3) have yielded a family of novel bimetallic cluster anions. These new species were isolated as [K(2, 2,2-crypt)](+) salts in [K(2,2,2-crypt)](4)Cu(2)E(14) (E =...

Thiasalen podand 9 having S2N2 donor set has been synthesized by the condensation of 2-methylthiobenzaldehyde with ethylenediamine. The reaction of the thiasalen podand ligand with Pd(II) afforded two complexes depending on the reaction time. Shorter reaction time (5 min) afforded thioether complex 10; whereas with increase in reaction time (4 h) thioether-thiolate complex 11 was obtained via c...

A series of new ethylenediamine (en) platinum(IV) complexes of the type Pt((IV))enX(2)A(2), with X(2) = cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylato (CBDCA), dichloro or bis(decanoato) and A = acetato, dodecanoato, tetradecanoato, hexadecanoato, octadecanoato, adamantanecarboxylato (Ad) or 3alpha, 12alpha-diformoxy-5beta-cholato (DFCA) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and NMR...

The one-pot reaction of aromatic aldehydes, ethylenediamine and Oxone (2 KHSO5 x KHSO4 x K2SO4) in pure water was found to unexpectedly afford aldoximes in excellent yields.

In several neural systems, glial cells appear to take up and release gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) upon depolarization. We have studied the release of [3H]GABA from Müller (glial) cells in the rat retina by a double isotope-labeling technique in which Müller cells are preloaded with 3H-GABA while a population of neurons is prelabeled with [14C]glycine. By autoradiography, we have confirmed tha...

Cell walls of Histoplasma capsulatum and Blastomyces dermatitidis, obtained by mechanical breakage of yeast- and mycelial-phase cultures, were lipid-extracted and then fractionated with ethylenediamine. Unextracted cell walls, lipid-extracted cell walls, and the three fractions resulting from ethylenediamine treatment were examined for monosaccharide and chitin content. The yeast-phase cell wal...
