Ni(II)L(2), L(2) = 1-propyl-1,3,5,8,12-pentaazacyclotetradecane, was covalently bound to a silica support. This complex can be reversibly oxidized to the corresponding Ni(III) complex. The latter complex is relatively long lived. Therefore electron exchange columns based on this material can be prepared.

Reaction of the complex [Ni(rac-CTH)](2+) (rac-CTH = rac-5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) with [Fe(CN)(6)](3-) leads to a novel cyano-bridged Ni(3)Fe(2) complex, [[Ni(rac-CTH)](3)[Fe(CN)(6)](2)](4). The structure consists of an alternating arrangement of [Fe(CN)(6)Ni(rac-CTH)](2) squares and trans-planar [Ni(rac-CTH)](2+) units bridged by cyanide groups to give a neu...

Resting cells of the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio fructosovorans grown in the absence of sulfate had a very high Tc(VII)-reducing activity, which led to the formation of an insoluble black precipitate. The involvement of a periplasmic hydrogenase in Tc(VII) reduction was indicated (i) by the requirement for hydrogen as an electron donor, (ii) by the tolerance of this activity to oxy...

A trinuclear nickel complex of phenanthrene-9,10-dione dioxime (H2pqd), namely bis-[μ2-9,10-bis-(oxido-imino)-phenanthrene]-bis-[μ2-10-(oxido-imino)phenanthrene-9-one oxime](phenanthrene-9,10-dione dioxime)trinickel(II) toluene disolvate, [Ni3(C14H8N2O2)2(C14H9N2O2)2(C14H10N2O2)]·2C7H8, has been isolated and its crystal structure determined. This complex features three independent Ni(II) atoms ...

In this study, Ni/NiO nanocomposites were prepared using simple, environment-friendly and low-cost solid-state thermal decomposition method from nickel (II) Schiff base complex at 400 and 500°C for 3 hours. The Ni/NiO nanocomposites were characterized with Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray fluores...

The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of the title complex, [Ni(C(18)H(12)N(2)O(3))(C(5)H(5)N)(3)]·3C(5)H(5)N, contains two independent Ni(II) complex mol-ecules and six uncoordinated pyridine mol-ecules. Each Ni(II) atom is coordinated by two O and four N atoms, from three pyridine and a chelating 3-hydr-oxy-N'-(2-oxidobenzyl-idene)-2-naphthohydrazide dianionic ligand, with a distorted ...

The structure of the rhodanese-tetracyanonickelate (E X Ni(CN)2-4) complex has been characterized here in spectral and physical studies using urea as a structural perturbant. UV difference absorption, sedimentation velocity ultracentrifugation, fluorescence, and circular dichroism data show no significant conformational differences between sulfur-free rhodanese (E) and the E X Ni(CN)2-4 complex...

Described herein are preparations of synthetic models for the deactivated Ni(II)Fe(II) states of the [NiFe]-hydrogenases. Iodination of the S = ½ species [(dppe)Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)(3)](+) afforded the diamagnetic iodo complex [(dppe)Ni(pdt)IFe(CO)(3)](+). Crystallographic analysis of this species confirmed the presence of square-pyramidal Ni linked to an octahedral Fe centre. The NiFe separation of 3...

Acyclic pyrazine-2-carboxamide and thioether containing hexadentate ligand 1,4-bis[o-(pyrazine-2-carboxamidophenyl)]-1,4-dithiobutane (H(2)bpzctb), in its deprotonated form, has afforded light brown [Ni(II)(bpzctb)](1)(S=1) and green [Cu(II)(bpzctb)](2)(S=1/2) complexes. The crystal structures of 1.CH(3)OH and 2.CH(2)Cl(2) revealed that in these complexes the ligand coordinates in a hexadentate...
