In the title compound, {[Ni(C10H8N4)2(H2O)2]I2·2C2H5OH} n , the complex shows an octa-hedral environment of the Ni(2+) cation in which it is located on a centre of symmetry, linked to two water mol-ecules and the pyridine-N atoms of four 4,4'-(diazenediyl)dipyridine ligands bridging Ni(2+) cations along the b- and c-axis directions, giving rise to a two-dimensional arrangement. The Ni-N bond le...

Oxidations of a trigonal-bipyramidal, high-spin Ni(II) dithiolate complex of a pentadentate, N3S2-donor ligand, N1,N9-bis(imino-2-mercaptopropane)-1,5,9-triazanonane) nickel(II), and the structurally analogous Zn(II) complex, lead to oxidations of the ligand. Oxidation of the Ni(II) complex with I2 produces a novel Ni(II) macrocyclic cationic complex containing a monodentate disulfide ligand (2...

Abstract Let $(X\ni x,B)$ be an lc surface germ. If $X\ni x$ is klt, we show that there exists a divisor computing the minimal log discrepancy of Kollár component . $B\not=0$ or not Du Val, any potential place This extends result Blum and Kawakita who independently showed on smooth place.

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes the terminal step in the formation of biological methane from methyl-coenzyme M (Me-SCoM) and coenzyme B (CoBSH). The active site in MCR contains a Ni-F(430) cofactor, which can exist in different oxidation states. The catalytic mechanism of methane formation has remained elusive despite intense spectroscopic and theoretical investigations. On the bas...

background: the presence of heavy metals in the environment could constitute a hazard to food security and public health. these can be accumulated in aquatic animals such as fish. canned fish is consumed regularly in many countries. in this study, the levels of heavy metals cu, ni, fe and cr were evaluated in commercial canned fish products that are commonly consumed in iran. the canned fish st...

The all-d-metal Ni-Mn-Ti Heusler alloy has giant elastocaloric effect and excellent mechanical properties, which is different from the conventional Ni-Mn-based alloys. In this work, preferred site occupation, phase stability, martensitic transformation, magnetic electronic structure of B-doped Ni2Mn1.5Ti0.5 alloys are systematically investigated by first-principles calculations. results show th...

We continue our study on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem over finite extension fields. We show, among other results, the following two results: For sequences of prime powers (qi)i∈N and natural numbers (ni)i∈N with ni −→ ∞ and ni log(qi) −→ 0 for i −→ ∞, the discrete logarithm problem in the groups of rational points of elliptic curves over the fields Fqi i can be solved in subexp...

To explore the effects of the genetic background on the characteristics of wboA gene deletion rough mutants generated from different parent Brucella sp. strains, we constructed the rough-mutant strains Brucella melitensis 16 M-MB6, B. abortus 2308-SB6, B. abortus S19-RB6, and B. melitensis NI-NB6 and evaluated their survival, pathogenicity, and induced protective immunity in mice and sheep. In ...
