The reaction of 2-methyl-8-hy-droxy-quinoline and zinc bromide in acetonitrile affords the title solvated salt, (C(10)H(10)NO)[ZnBr(2)(C(10)H(8)NO)]·CH(3)CN, in which the Zn(II) ion is coordinated by a N,O-chelating 2-methyl-quinolin-8-olate ligand and two bromide ligands in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The cation is linked to the anion by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond and the quinolinium H atom...

A novel simple, sensitive and rapid kinetic-spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of trace amounts of bromide. The method is based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation of methylene blue (MB) by hydrogen peroxide in strongly acidic solution. The oxidation reaction is activated by large amounts of chloride and can be monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decr...

In this paper, a novel membrane triiodide sensor based on a charge-transfer complex of (1,3-diphenyldihydro-1H-imidazole-4,5-dionedioxime) with iodine (CTCI) as a membrane carrier is introduced. The best performance was obtained with a membrane containing 30% polyvinylchloride (PVC), 63% dibutylphthalate (DBP), 5% CTCI and 2% hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB). The electrode shows a Nern...

This data article reports the relationship between of the bromide ion concentration and the formation potential of disinfectant byproducts (DBPs) including, trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), and haloacetonitriles (HANs) upon chlorination and monochloramination of the raw water of Karoon River water in Iran. Water samples were collected at an intake of a drinking water treatment p...

Haloalkane dehalogenase (DhlA) hydrolyzes short-chain haloalkanes to produce the corresponding alcohols and halide ions. Release of the halide ion from the active-site cavity can proceed via a two-step and a three-step route, which both contain slow enzyme isomerization steps. Thermodynamic analysis of bromide binding and release showed that the slow unimolecular isomerization steps in the thre...

The rates of addition of molecular bromine in acetic acid to a number of acetylenes have been found to follow the general equation d(Br,)/dt = [acetylene](k, [Br,] + k3 [Br212 + k,,[Br,] [Br1) In the absence of bromide ion and at low bromine concentrations (< 2 x M), only the k 2 process is observable. These k 2 values for a series of ring-substituted phenylacetylenes are correlated well with o...
