In the title polymer, {[La(2)(C(4)H(4)O(6))(3)(H(2)O)(3)]·2H(2)O}(n), two symmetry-independent La(III) ions are nine-coordinated and display a distorted monocapped square-anti-prismatic geometry. One is coordinated by seven O atoms from four tartrate ligands and two water mol-ecules, the other by eight O atoms from five tartrate ligands and one water mol-ecule. The three tartrate ligands in the...

In this study, we used a 6-methyl-2,3-pyridine dicarboxylate ligand to develop the frameworks. Two novel compounds, [Zn2(L)2(H2O)4] (1) and [Cd(L)(H2O)] (2) (where L = 6-methyl-pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylate) were produced. The compounds characterized by elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy single crystal crystallography. We successfully tuned framew...

The article is devoted to the issues of obtaining pressed building materials based on dihydrate phosphogypsum. Dihydrate phosphogypsum after mechanical activation in a ball mill acquires ability harden specimens. After and its pressing at pressure 30 MPa, strength specimens increases by 6...8 times compared non-activated reaches 25...30 MPa. There found influence various chemical admixtures bin...

The title salt, [CoBr(C11H27N5)]Br2·2H2O, contains a complex cation with mirror symmetry and two Br(-) counter-anions that are likewise located on the mirror plane. The central Co(III) atom of the complex cation has one Br(-) ion in an axial position, one N atom of the penta-dentate macrocyclic ligand in the other axial position and four N atoms of the ligand in equatorial positions, defining a...

The reaction of iron(II) sulfate hepta-hydrate with the proton-transfer compound (pydaH)(hypydcH) (pyda = pyridine-2,6-diamine; hypydcH(2) = 4-hydroxy-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid) in an aqueous solution led to the formation of the title compound, (C(5)H(8)N(3))[Fe(C(7)H(3)NO(5))(2)]·2H(2)O. The anion is a six-coordinated complex with a distorted octa-hedral geometry around the Fe(III) atom. ...

The nature of the stress experienced by Escherichia coli K-12 exposed to chromate, and mechanisms that may enable cells to withstand this stress, were examined. Cells that had been preadapted by overnight growth in the presence of chromate were less stressed than nonadapted controls. Within 3 h of chromate exposure, the latter ceased growth and exhibited extreme filamentous morphology; by 5 h t...

Thermoanaerobacter thermohydrosulfuricus BSB-33 is a thermophilic gram positive obligate anaerobe isolated from a hot spring in West Bengal, India. Unlike other T. thermohydrosulfuricus strains, BSB-33 is able to anaerobically reduce Fe(III) and Cr(VI) optimally at 60 °C. BSB-33 is the first Cr(VI) reducing T. thermohydrosulfuricus genome sequenced and of particular interest for bioremediation ...
