Dichalcogenido-imidodiphosphinates, [N(PR(2)E)(2)](-) (R = alkyl, aryl), are chelating ligands that readily form cyclic complexes with main group metals, transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides. Since their discovery in the early 1960s, researchers have studied the structural chemistry of the resulting metal complexes (where E = O, S, Se) extensively and identified a variety of potential ...

Although metal-metal bonding is important in the chemistry of both solid-state intermetallic compounds and molecular species, the study of this bonding is limited by the compounds available and it is rarely possible to identify connections between these two areas. In this study, molecular intermetalloids [Ln(ReCp(2))(3)] (Ln = Sm, Lu and La) have been synthesized that contain lanthanoid metals ...

An important advantage of pattern-based chemosensor sets is their potential to detect and differentiate a large number of analytes with only few sensors. Here we test this principle at a conceptual limit by analyzing a large set of metal ion analytes covering essentially the entire periodic table, employing fluorescent DNA-like chemosensors on solid support. A tetrameric "oligodeoxyfluoroside" ...

2014 Emission spectra from aluminium and copper targets excited by fast electrons have been measured. The ratio of these two measurements can be directly compared with theoretical transition radiation calculations. A well pronounced shoulder is observed at 2.1 eV giving the first experimental evidence of interband contribution to transition radiation. J. Physique LETTRES 43 (1982) L-733 L-737 C...

One of the very complex structures in the vertebrates is the joint. The main component of the joint is the synovial fluid with its high-molar-mass glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan, which turnover is approximately twelve hours. Since the synovial fluid does not contain any hyaluronidases, the fast hyaluronan catabolism is caused primarily by reductive-oxidative processes.Eight transition metals - V(...

Quantum-mechanical analysis based on an exact sum rule is used to extract an semiclassical angle-dependent energy function for transition metal ions in biomolecules. The angular dependence is simple but different from existing classical potentials. Comparison of predicted energies with a computergenerated database shows that the semiclassical energy function is remarkably accurate, and that its...

Copper mining generates large quantities of waste, tailings, and acid outflows causing long-term environmental impacts and potential threats to human health. Valea Şesei is the largest tailing impoundment in Romania, created by flooding the valley (known as Valea Şesei) of the Metalliferous Mountains (a division of the Apuseni Mountains) with copper mining waste. The present study (i) estimated...

Transition metal doped chalcogenides are one of the most important classes catalysts that have been attracting increasing attention for petrochemical and energy related chemical transformations due to their unique physiochemical properties. For practical applications, achieving maximum atom utilization by homogeneous dispersion metals on surface is essential. Herein, we report a detailed study ...

Preparative methods, X-ray structures, and relevant spectroscopic cata are summarized for new bisand tris-complexes of chelating dithiolates of Nb(V) and Ta(V). Similarly, tetrakis(arenethiolat0) complexes of divalent transition metals are described. Reactivity of some of these complexes was examined to find novel homogeneous catalysis, e.g. condensation of dithiols. Peptide thiolate complexes ...
