The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn(C13H15N4O)2]NO3·CH3OH, contains two independent complex cations, in each of which the Mn(III) ion is located on an inversion centre. The Mn(III) ion is coordinated by four N and two O atoms from two 1,3-bis-{[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methyl-idene]amino}-propan-2-olate ligands, resulting in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The average Mn-ligand bond lengths...

The reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-nitrate oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.6.2) from Aspergillus nidulans was purified over 200-fold by use of salt fractionation, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography. The purified enzyme was specific for NADPH and catalyzed reduction of nitrate, cytochrome c from isolated mitochondria of Aspergillus, and mammalian cytochrome c. An...

Optical modeling was applied for obtaining absorbance spectra and band gap values for different morphology of ZnO semiconductor. In optical modeling, the relative permittivity scalars of zinc oxide coral like nanorods were calculated using the Bruggeman homogenization formalism. ZnO nano rods (ZONRs) as a nucleus layer were fabricated on the Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) by chronoamperometry (CA) in a...

In the title compound, [Ni(C(5)H(5)N)(2)(H(2)O)(4)](NO(3))(2), the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by two N-bonded pyridine ligands and four water mol-ecules in an octa-hedral coordination mode. The asymmetric unit consists of one Ni(II) ion located on an inversion center, as well as one pyridine ligand, one nitrate anion and two water mol-ecules in general positions. In the crystal structure, the di...

The catalytic mechanism of nitrate reduction by periplasmic nitrate reductases has been investigated using theoretical and computational means. We have found that the nitrate molecule binds to the active site with the Mo ion in the +6 oxidation state. Electron transfer to the active site occurs only in the proton-electron transfer stage, where the Mo(V) species plays an important role in cataly...

Ammonium Nitrate (AN) prilling Process is nonlinear and non stationary in nature. Due to uncertainty created by nonlinear conditions like temperature rise due to exothermic reaction in the neutraliser, level in the evaporator, velocity of the cooling air in prilling tower, temperature and moisture content of prills and size of the prills. Due to these difficulties the degree of automation is qu...

Nitrate has been the most common chemical contaminant in water resource. This ion is introduced into the water via different ways, but more items of nitrate pollution was connected with farming-based drainage and sewage effluent. In this descriptive-analytical study, groundwater nitrate and nitrite concentrations of 8 wells on Dehloran, Ilam, Iran, were analyzed in 2015 to determine the causes ...
