Kinetics of iron(II)and manganese(II)-catalyzed oxidation of S(IV) in seawater were studied here to provide theoretical support for the flue gas desulfurization process (SFGD). Experiments were carried out with artificial seawater and acetic buffer. Results indicated that the reaction order with respect to dissolved oxygen is zero. However, the reaction order with respect to S(IV) is variable: ...

The syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties of compounds of formula [Fe(III)(5-Clsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)]·0.5(CH(3)NO(2)) (1), [Fe(III)(5-Brsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)] (2), and [In(III)(5-Clsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)] (3) are reported. The structure of the three compounds, which crystallize in the orthorhombic P2(1)2(1)2(1) chiral space group, presents a 3D ...

A family of tetranuclear mixed-valent Mn(II)(2)/Mn(III)(2) complexes of type [Mn(4)(LH(2))(2)(LH)(2)(H(2)O)(x)(RCO(2))(2)](Y)2.nS has been synthesised and structurally characterised, where LH(3) = triethanolamine (N(CH(2)CH(2)OH)(3)), (R=CH(3), x=2, Y = CH(3)CO(2)-, n=2, S = H(2)O; 1), (R=C(6)H(5), x=0, Y=C(6)H(5)CO(2)-, n=1, S = CH(3)CN; 2), (R=C(2)H(5), x=0, Y=ClO(4)(-), n=0; 3). A common str...

The activation of DNase I by Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, Fe, Cd, Zn, Ba, Sr, Ca, and Cu ions has been studied by several methods, at different pH and salt concentrations. Mg, Mn, and Co are the best activators for initial stages of degradation. A synergistic effect is shown only by the pair Mg-Ca. Optimal pH of action is always situated at 6.5. DNase II is activated to about the same degree by alkaline ear...

B ak o re and N a r a in 1 studied the kinetics of the oxidation of a-hydroxy acids by chromium(VI) and found that addition of Mn(II) decreases the rate of oxidation to one half of that in absence of Mn(II), when the hydrogen ion concentration is in the range 0.1 to 0.4 M. They attributed this to the disproportionation of Cr(IV) by Mn(II) ions. K em p and W a t e r s 2 observed Mn(II) catalysis...

A series of metallosalen-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been prepared by the post-synthesis modification of Mn(III)SO-MOF, a Mn(3+)(salen)-based MOF. Treatment of Mn(III)SO-MOF with H(2)O(2) effects the removal of the Mn(3+) ions from the salen struts, which can then be remetalated with a variety of metal precursors to form isostructural MSO-MOF materials. The presence of the new me...

In the title coupound, [Mn(C(9)H(6)O(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))](n), the Mn(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms [Mn-N = 2.273 (3) and 2.305 (2) Å] from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four O atoms [Mn-O = 2.112 (2)-2.343 (3) Å] from three 5-methyl-isophthalate (mip) ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Each mip dianion acts as a tetra-dentate ligand connecting three Mn ions. The crystal pack...

Valorisation of pine cone as an efficient, low-cost, and eco-friendly biosorbent for the removal heavy metals from aqueous solutions is evaluated. The morphology surface chemistry are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, revealing presence carboxylic alcoholic functional groups that interact with metal ions...
