The title salt, (C2H8N)2[Co(H2O)6)](SO4)2·2H2O, is isotypic with (C2H8N)2[Ni(H2O)6)](SO4)2·2H2O. The Co-O bond lengths in the [Co(H2O)6](2+) complex cation show very similar distances as in the related Tutton salt (NH4)2[Co(H2O)6)](SO4)2 [average 2.093 (17) Å], but are significantly longer than in the isotypic Ni(II) compound (Δd ≃ 0.04 Å). The cobalt cation reaches an overall bond-valence sum ...

Metallic gallium dissolves slowly in dilute mineral acids but rapidly in aqua regia and concentrated sodium hydroxide. In its compounds, the valency is +3. Its oxygen compounds resemble those of aluminum in that there are highand lowtemperature forms of Ga2O3 and two hydroxides, Ga(OH)3 and GaO·OH. Substances which lower the hydrogen ion concentration throw down a white gelatinous precipitate f...

An annular denuder system, which consisted of a cyclone separator; two diffusion denuders coated with sodium carbonate and citric acid, respectively; and a filter pack consisting of Teflon and nylon filters in series, was used to measure acid gases, ammonia (NH3), and fine particles in the atmosphere from April 1998 to March 1999 in eastern North Carolina (i.e., an NH3-rich environment). The so...

Through restricting thickness growth by performing coprecipitation at the freezing temperature of ~4 °C, solid-solution nanosheets (up to 5-nm thick) of the Ln2(OH)5NO3·nH2O layered hydroxide (Ln = Y0.98RE0.02; RE = Pr, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm, respectively) were directly synthesized without performing conventional exfoliation. In situ exchange of the interlayer NO3 (-) with SO4 (2-) pro...

9 10 During the Mesozoic Era, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids and diatoms became prominent 11 primary producers in the oceans, succeeding an earlier biota in which green algae and 12 cyanobacteria had been proportionally more abundant. This transition occurred during an 13 interval marked by increased sulfate concentration in seawater. To test whether increasing 14 sulfate availability facil...

The ionic compositions of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < or = 2.5 microm (PM2.5) and size-resolved aerosol particles were measured in Big Bend National Park, Texas, during the 1999 Big Bend Regional Aerosol and Visibility Observational study. The ionic composition of PM2.5 aerosol was dominated by sulfate (SO4(2-)) and ammonium (NH4+). Daily average SO4(2-) and NH4+ concentratio...

This study evaluates the biogeochemical changes that occur when recharge water comes in contact with a reduced aquifer. It specifically addresses (1) which reactions occur in situ, (2) the order in which these reactions will occur if terminal electron acceptors (TEAs) are introduced simultaneously, (3) the rates of these reactions, and (4) the roles of the aqueous and solid-phase portions of th...

The title compound, 2C5H7N5(2+)·2HSO4(-)·SO4(2-), was synthesized from adenine and sulfuric acid. The asymmetric unit contains two diprotonated adeninium cations, two bis-ulfate anions and one sulfate anion. The crystal structure is stabilized by classical N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.

This paper presents the results of a study of variation in the chemical composition of wet precipitation over a 16-year period. The ions SO4 2, NO3 , Cl , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ K + , Na + , NH4 + and H + were analyzed. The correlation analysis showed a high positive correlation among these ions, indicating that anthropogenic emissions were the most important source. Trends in annual concentrations of S...

On the basis of recently estimated emission inventory for East Asia with a resolution of 1x1, the transport and chemical transformation of sulfur compounds over East Asia during the period of February 22 through May 4, 2001, was investigated by using the Models-3 Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system with meteorological fields calculated by the Regional Atmospheric Modeling S...
