The pyridone fragment in the ligand [2, 2’-bipyridin]-6(1H)-one (bipy-6-OH) enables oxidative Heck reaction of simple arenes with oxygen as sole oxidant and no redox mediator. Arenes either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups can be functionalized this way. Experimental data on toluene model arene shows that C−H activation step is turnover limiting structure crucial to facilitate r...

The title compound, Ag0.60Na0.40Fe(MoO4)2 {silver sodium iron(III) bis-[molyb-date(VI)]}, was synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The structure is built up from FeO6 octa-hedra and MoO4 tetra-hedra sharing corners to form a two-dimensional framework parallel to the (001) plane. The occupationally disordered (Ag/Na)(+) cations are located in the inter-layer space. These [Fe(MoO4)2 (-)] n laye...

A new magnesium phosphate, Na3RbMg7(PO4)6 [tris-odium rubidium hepta-magnesium hexakis(ortho-phosphate)], has been synthesized as single crystals by the flux method and exhibits a new structure type. Its original structure is built up from MgO x (x = 5 and 6) polyhedra linked directly to each other through common corners or edges and reinforced by corner-sharing with PO4 tetra-hedra. The result...

G-quadruplex structures formed in the telomeric DNA are thought to play a role in the telomere function. Drugs that stabilize the G-quadruplexes were shown to have anticancer effects. The structures formed by the basic telomeric quadruplex-forming unit G(3)(TTAG(3))(3) were the subject of multiple studies. Here, we employ (125)I-radioprobing, a method based on analysis of the distribution of DN...

The title complex, [Cd(C(2)HN(9))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)]·0.5C(10)H(8)N(2)·H(2)O, was prepared under hydro-thermal reaction conditions. The asymmetric unit contains the cadmium complex, half a 2,2'-bipyridine solvent mol-ecule and a solvent water mol-ecule. The Cd(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two N atoms from an HBTA(-) anion ligand [where H(2)BTA is N,...

The title compound, {(C6H21N4)[V3O9]·H2O} n , crystallizes as a salt with [trenH3](3+) cations [tren is tris-(2-amino-eth-yl)amine], and one-dimensional anionic {[V(V)O3](-)} n (metavanadate) chains along the c-axis direction. Three crystallographically distinct V(V) sites and one occluded water mol-ecule are present for every [trenH3](3+) cation in the unit cell. The {[V(V)O3](-)} n chains are...

Inhibition of Clostridium perfringens germination and outgrowth by salts of organic acids such as sodium lactate, sodium acetate, buffered sodium citrate and buffered sodium citrate supplemented with sodium diacetate was evaluated during continuous chilling of ground turkey. Turkey breast meat was injected with a brine-containing NaCl, potato starch and potassium tetra pyrophosphate to yield fi...

In the title mol-ecule, C(20)H(32)NPSe, the P atom has a distorted tetra-hedral environment resulting in an effective cone angle of 172°. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Se inter-actions are observed.
