In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C(2)N(3))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(4)], the Ni(II) cations are coordinated by four pyridine ligands and two dicyanamide anions into discrete complexes. The shortest Ni⋯Ni separation is 8.1068 (10) Å. The structure is pseudo-centrosymmetric and can also be refined in the space group C2/c in which both anionic ligands are strongly disordered and the refine...

this study has been investigated, the effects of three different polar polyacrylamides (anionic, cationic, and nonionic) on asphaltene deposition in porous media. all experiments were carried out in various dead oil flow rates (0.2, 0.1 and 0.02 cc/min) and different polymer concentrations (500, 2500, 4000 ppm). the results indicated that asphaltene precipitation was affected by the presence of...

The structure of the title compound, (C(14)H(16)N)(2)[HgCl(2)(SO(4))], consists of an infinite chain propagating along the c direction, containing Hg(II) ions tetra-coordinated by two bridging O atoms of bis-monodentate sulfate anions and two chloride ligands. In the the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding between the cations and the anionic chains consolidates the packing. The crystal structure wa...

The metal atom in the title compound, [Zn(C(5)H(4)NO(4)S)(2)(H(2)O)(4)], lies on a center of inversion and is linked to the anionic ligand through the carbonyl O atom. In the crystal structure, the 2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-pyridine-5-sulfon-ate ligand inter-acts with other mol-ecules through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network structure.

Cardiolipin (CL) is an anionic phospholipid with a characteristically large curvature and is of growing interest for two primary reasons: (i) it binds to and regulates many peripheral membrane proteins in bacteria and mitochondria, and (ii) it is distributed asymmetrically in rod-shaped cells and is concentrated at the poles and division septum. Despite the growing number of studies of CL, its ...
