Dispersion‐Force‐Assisted Disproportionation: A Stable Two‐Coordinate Copper(II) Complex

Catalytic reactions of chlorite with a polypyridylruthenium(II) complex: disproportionation, chlorine dioxide formation and alcohol oxidation.

cis-[Ru(2,9-Me(2)phen)(2)(OH(2))(2)](2+) reacts readily with chlorite at room temperature at pH 4.9 and 6.8. The ruthenium(II) complex can catalyze the disproportionation of chlorite to chlorate and chloride, the oxidation of chlorite to chlorine dioxide, as well as the oxidation of alcohols by chlorite.

Stepwise disproportionation in polyelectrolyte complexes

Structural properties and the topology of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) formed in solution have been investigated under different conditions by Monte Carlo simulations using a coarse-grained model. The extension of individual polyions has been characterized by their radius of gyration, whereas the composition of the complexes has been investigated by their net charge and their internal topol...

Stable Complex Manifolds

1. T. Van de Ven [3] has recently shown that there exist real 4dimensional manifolds which admit almost complex structures but admit no complex structures, e.g. SXS* # SXS # CP(2). The purpose of this note is to show that this is an unstable phenomenon. Let M be a C w-dimensional real manifold without boundary and let TM be its tangent bundle. R is real Euclidean fe-space and C is complex &-spa...

A stable tetraalkyl complex of nickel(IV).

A stable isotope titration method to determine the contribution of acetate disproportionation and carbon dioxide reduction to methanogenesis.

A novel stable isotope titration approach was developed to determine the contributions to total methane production made by CO(2) reduction and the disproportionation of acetate in anoxic environments. (13)CH(4), (12)CH(4), (13)CO(2) and (12)CO(2) production rates were measured in the head space of replicate anaerobic microcosms titrated with increasing amounts of (13)C-labelled substrates. The ...
