The openings of Copper converter in Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex in Iranis made of a heat resisting austenitic steel (Fe-25Cr-12Ni) and many failures have been reported. Understanding the failure mechanism of the alloy helps to develop better alloys for similar complex environments. Samples of as-cast alloy and those taken from failed ones were examined. Optical Microscopy (OM), X-Ray Diffraction...

Reaction of [PtMe(C^N)(SMe2)] (C^N = 2-phenylpyridinate (ppy); 1a, C^N = benzo[h]quinolate, (bhq); 1b) with hydrogen peroxide gives the platinum(IV) complexes trans-[PtMe(OH)2(C^N)(H2O)] (C^N = ppy; 3a, C^N = bhq, 3b) bearing platinum-oxygen bonds. The Pt(II) complexes 1a and 1b have 5dπ(Pt)→π*(C^N) MLCT band in the visible region which is used to easily follow the kinetic of its reaction with ...

The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP119, its compound II derivative, and its nitrosyl complex were studied by iron K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The compound II derivative was prepared by reaction of the resting enzyme with peroxynitrite and had a lifetime of approximately 10 s at 23 degrees C. The CYP119 nitrosyl complex was prepared by reaction of the enzyme with nitrogen monoxide gas or wi...

The reaction of CH₃NH₂ with O₂ on the singlet potential energy surfaces (PES) was carried out using the B3LYP, CCSD(T) and G3B3 theoretical approaches along with 6-311++G(3df,3pd) basis set. The suggested mechanism for the title reaction consists of one pre-reactive complex. From the pre-reactive complex, nine types of products, CH2NH+H2O2, CH3NH+OOH,...

CTX-M enzymes are an emerging group of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) that hydrolyze not only the penicillins but also the first-, second-, and third-generation cephalosporins. Although they have become the most frequently observed ESBLs in certain areas, there are few effective inhibitors and relatively little is known about their detailed mechanism. Here we describe the X-ray cryst...

the mono-metallic and bi-metallic catalysts have been prepared by impregnating with solutions containing a compound of h2ptcl6,wo3 and 1ml hcl (0.1 mol). it should be noted that the catalysts’ activity and selectivity have been determined under these conditions : 450-5000c ,and 15-25atm by h2. for converting n-heptane , the molar ratio h2/c7h16 is 5 , and lhsv is 1.5ml/h. it has been proved tha...

Previous studies have shown that diazoacetyl-DL-norleutine methyl ester inactivates pepsin, that Cu(I1) greatly facilitates the reaction, and that in the presence of Cu(I1) substitution occurs specifically at the carboxyl group of an aspartic acid residue in the enzyme. The present experiments were designed to establish the reasons for the speed and specificity of the reaction and the role of t...

Palladium (II) coordination complexes catalyze the reaction of alcohols with ketones to yield ethers. During the catalytic cycle, the alcohol adds selectively to the β-carbon (anti-Markovnikov). In this work, mechanism and kinetics for the reaction of methanol with methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), being catalyzed by Pd, has been theoretically investigated in detail. Using quantum mechanical approach,...
