The title mononuclear zinc complex, [ZnCl(2)(C(17)H(26)N(2)O(2))], was obtained by the reaction of 2-hy-droxy-4-meth-oxy-benzaldehyde, N-cyclo-hexyl-propane-1,3-diamine and zinc chloride in methanol. The Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated by the phenolate O atom and imine N atom of the bidentate zwitterionic Schiff base ligand 2-{[3-(cyclo-hexyl-amino)-prop-yl]imino-meth-yl}-5-meth-oxy-phenol, and...

An intensely fluorescent zinc-salicylideneimine complex (-Zn(II)) was developed as a fluorescent ratiometric detector for the quantitative determination of trace water contents both in THF and methanol. It works based on a water-triggered cascade process: the dissociation reaction of the supramolecular ensemble and the subsequent hydrolysis reaction of its ligand.

The title compound, [Zn(2)(C(14)H(13)N(2)O)(2)(N(3))(2)], is a phenolate-bridged centrosymmetric dinuclear zinc(II) complex. The Zn⋯Zn distance is 3.076 (1) Å. Each Zn atom is five-coordinated by two O and two N atoms from two Schiff base ligands, and by one azide N atom, forming a square-pyramidal geometry.

Vanadium (III) gives a greenish- yellow complex with anthranilic acid in presence of pyridine. The complex is extractable with chloroform and is used for photometric determination of vanadium by measuring the absorbance at 390 nm against a reagent blank. Beer's Law holds good in the range of 1-20 pg V/ml. Moderate amounts of Pb (II) , Ca (II) , Sr (II) , Ba (II) , Cd (II) , Mg (II) , Mn (II...

Borohydride reduction of a Borromean Ring (BR) complex containing six zinc(II) ions and 12 imine bonds has resulted in its demetallation, producing a neutral BR compound and also its free macrocycle, following cleavage of at least one of the imine bonds in the ethanolic reaction mixture.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of oral zinc supplementation on growth of preterm infants. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. SETTING Dhaka Shisu Hospital (Tertiary care hospital). SUBJECTS 100 appropriate for date preterm infants weighing between 1000 to 2500 g were randomized to receive zinc and multivitamin supplement (Group I; n=50) or only multivitamin supplement (Group II). INTER...

Metallochaperones function as intracellular shuttles for metal ions. At present, no evidence for the existence of any eukaryotic zinc-chaperone has been provided although metallochaperones could be critical for the physiological functions of Zn2+ metalloenzymes. We propose that the complex formed in skeletal muscle by the Zn2+ metalloenzyme AMP deaminase (AMPD) and the metal binding protein his...

A system for separation of zinc traces from large amounts of cadmium is proposed in this paper. It is based on the solid-phase extraction of the zinc in the form of thiocyanate complexes by the polyurethane foam. The following parameters were studied: effect of pH and of the thiocyanate concentration on the zinc extraction, shaking time required for quantitative extraction, amount of PU foam ne...

Human dipeptidyl-peptidase III (hDPP III) is a zinc-dependent hydrolase cleaving dipeptides off the N-termini of various bioactive peptides. Thus, the enzyme is likely involved in a number of physiological processes such as nociception and is also implicated in several forms of cancer. We present high-resolution crystal structures of hDPP III in complex with opioid peptides (Met-and Leu-enkepha...
