Ferrite grade zinc oxide was prepared through aqueous processing of zinc ash followed by calcination. Zinc was quantitatively dissolved in sulphuric acid medium. The ferrous iron present in the leach solution was oxidised with hydrogen peroxide followed by precipitation of total iron by pH adjustment to 4.5 with dilute sodium hydroxide solution. Copper was removed by cementation using zinc dust...

The title compound, [Cu(4)(C(2)F(3)O(2))(3)(C(4)H(10)NO)(3)Cl(OH)]·C(4)H(8)O or [Cu(4)(TFA)(3)(dmae)(3)Cl(OH)]·THF (dmae is dimeth-yl-amino-ethano-late, TFA is trifluoro-acetate and THF is tetra-hydro-furan), has an approximate mol-ecular threefold symmetry with three equivalent {Cu(dmae)(TFA)} units bridging between a Cu-Cl and a hydroxide unit, with the latter two lying on the mol-ecular thre...

The reaction of benzyl-ammonium tetra-fluoro-borate and 18-crown-6 in a methano-lic solution yields the title compound, C(7)H(10)N(+)·BF(4) (-)·C(12)H(24)O(6)O6, which displays a supra-molecular structure. The -NH(3) (+) substituent of the benzyl-ammonium cation forms a 1:1 supra-molecular rotator-stator structure by N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

The structure of the title compound, NH(4)(C(8)H(20)N)(3)[Mo(8)O(26)], is built up by discrete cations and anions, with two formula units in the asymmetric unit. The β-octa-molybdate anions are linked to the ammonium cations via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding involving terminal oxide groups and to the tetra-ethyl-ammonium cations via weak C-H⋯O inter-actions.

The crystal structures of two ansa-titanocene tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate complexes bearing the Me2Si(C5Me4)2 ligand are reported, namely [di-methylbis-(η5-tetra-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)silane](tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonato-κ2O,O')titanium(III) toluene monosolvate, [Ti(CF3O3S)(C20H30Si)]·C7H8, 1, and chlorido-[di-methyl-bis-(η5-tetra-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)silane](tri-fluoro-methane-sulf...

A series of tri- and tetra- substituted imidazoles were synthesized from benzyl, aldehyde and ammonium acetate in the presence of zeolite as an ecofriendly reusable catalyst under microwave irradiation in the absence of solvent. The yields are high to excellent and the use of microwave irradiation reduces reaction times to few minute.

The title compound, C18H21BF2N2, is a lipophilic dye based on a BODIPY fluoro-phore backbone, which was developed for microscopic imaging of lipid droplets; the mol-ecule has a planar BODIPY core [dihedral angle between the pyrrole rings = 2.3 (3)°] and two tetra-methyl-ene substituents at the 2,3- and 5,6-positions in a half-chair conformation. One of the tetra-methyl-ene substituents is disor...

The title compound, C28H52Si8, was synthesized by condensation of two mol-ecules of 1,2,3,4-tetra-kis-(chloro-dimethyl-sil-yl)benzene with lithium. The 3,4-disila-1,2-benzocyclo-butene rings in the centrosymmetric molecule are bridged by 1,1,2,2-tetra-methyl-disilanylene chains with an anti conformation. The benzene rings are deformed by fusion with a 3,4-disilacyclo-butene ring resulting in a ...

This work examines a pH control method using ammonium (NH(4)(+)) as a sustainable proton shuttle in a CEM-equipped BES. Current generation was sustained by adding NH(3) or ammonium hydroxide (NH(4)OH) to the anolyte, controlling its pH at 7. Ammonium ion migration maintained the catholyte pH at approximately 9.25. Such NH(4)(+)/NH(3) migration accounted for 90±10% of the ionic flux in the BES. ...
