The crystal structure of the title compound, (C(6)H(7)FN)(2)[CuCl(4)], consists of parallel two-dimensional perovskite-type layers of corner-sharing CuCl(6) octa-hedra. These are bonded together via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds from the 4-fluoro-anilinium chains, which are almost perpendicular to the layers. The CuCl(4) dianions have two short Cu-Cl bonds [2.2657 (15) and 2.2884 (13) Å] and two longer...

We have developed a Si interposer with multilayer 15-μm-thick Cu wiring and SrTiO3 (STO) thin film capacitors to help create novel 3D stacked buck converters, which consist of a CMOS LSI that includes active components and a Si interposer with an LC output filter. A spiral inductor made using 15-μm-thick Cu wiring was stacked over an STO thin film capacitor in the Si interposer without any dete...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that platelets are involved in the inflammatory process. Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been frequently used as an inflammatory marker in various diseases associated with inflammation. The role of MPV in children with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CU), however, has not yet been evaluated. In this study we compared MPV levels between children with and with...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of supplementing a diet marginally deficient in copper (Cu) with iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo), or Cu on phagocytic cell function and disease resistance of calves. Thirty-one calves were born to heifers fed a corn silage-based diet containing 4.5 mg of Cu/kg. Treatments consisted of 1) control (CON; no supplemental Cu, Fe, or Mo), 2) 600 mg of Fe adde...

For Cu(In,Ga)Se2 films made by the selenization of metallic precursors, Ga accumulation at the back contact prevents the achievement of high voltage solar cells. In this work, selenization of mixed metal/metal-selenide precursors has been studied with respect to the composition distribution and device performance. Precursors consisting of Cu-Se/Ga/In and (In,Ga)-Se/Cu were reacted in H2Se at 45...

The long-term use of copper (Cu) fungicides in viticulture Europe has led to Cu accumulation vineyard top soils. However, less is known about the grapevine grafts after callusing process/before planting nursery. This paper presents capacity 5BB and SO4 rootstocks accumulate Cu, as well patterns translocation grafts. After heat forcing (callusing), Sauvignon Blanc on were grown pots for six mont...

Carbon monoxide bound to iron or copper in substrate-reduced mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (ferrocytochrome c:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.9.3.1) from beef heart has been used to explore the structural interaction of the a3 heme-copper pocket at 15 K and 80 K in the dark and in the presence of visible light. The vibrational absorptions of CO measured by a Fourier transform infrared interfer...

A reaction cycle is proposed for the mechanism of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) that involves inner sphere electron transfer from superoxide to Cu(II) in one portion of the cycle and outer sphere electron transfer from Cu(I) to superoxide in the other portion of the cycle. This mechanism is based on three yeast CuZnSOD structures determined by X-ray crystallography together with ma...

Copper chaperone for Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (CCS) has been shown to be reflective of Cu status in mice and rats. The objective of this study was to evaluate liver and erythrocyte CCS as an indicator of Cu status in beef cattle (Exp. 1), and to test the acute-phase properties of CCS under conditions of inflammation (Exp. 2). In Exp. 1, samples of whole blood and liver were collected at slau...

The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric compound, [Cu(C8H4NO2)2(C10H14N2O)(H2O)] n , contains one Cu(II) atom, one coordinating water mol-ecule, two 4-cyano-benzoate (CB) ligands and one coordinating N,N-di-ethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) mol-ecule. The DENA ligand acts as a bis-monodentate ligand, while the CB anions are monodentate. Two O atoms of the CB ligands, one O atom of the water mol-ecul...
