The first anion-templated synthesis of a lanthanide-containing interlocked molecule is demonstrated by utilizing a nitrite anion to template initial pseudorotaxane formation. Subsequent stoppering of the interpenetrated assembly allows for the preparation of a lanthanide-functionalized [2]rotaxane in high yield. Following removal of the nitrite anion template, the europium [2]rotaxane host is d...

Electrophilic iodination of the 7,9-dicarba-nido-undecaborate anion with molecular iodine in the presence of AlCl3 generated a new carborane anion-8-iodo-7,9-dicarba-nido-undecaborate-in excellent yield. The capping of the new anion with HBCl2 yielded a previously unknown neutral iodinated carborane, 2-iodo-1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane.

Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis in which the anion gap is within normal limits is a common condition in the hospital population, and often presents a difficult diagnostic problem. We describe nine typical cases of this disorder and suggest a logical approach to its evaluation.

This Tutorial Review provides a short survey of anion sensing by small molecule anion receptors, molecular ensembles and chemodosimeters. The review highlights the many different mechanisms and approaches employed by supramolecular chemists for anion sensing and the wide structural variety present in these systems.

This review covers advances in anion complexation in the years 2011 and 2012. The review covers both organic and inorganic systems and also highlights the applications to which anion receptors can be applied such as self-assembly and molecular architecture, sensing, catalysis and anion transport.

In this study, ethanol extract of Carthamustinctoriuswas studied for superoxide anion scavenging activity. The antioxidant properties of Carthamustinctorius ethanol extract was evaluated using superoxide anion radical scavenging activities. The extract of Carthamustinctorius exhibited strong total antioxidant activity and superoxide anion scavenging activity. This antioxidant activity test were...

High anion gap metabolic acidosis in adults is a severe metabolic disorder for which the primary organic acid usually is apparent by clinical history and standard laboratory testing. We report a case of recurrent high anion gap metabolic acidosis in a 48-year-old man who initially presented with anorexia and malaise. Physical examination was unrevealing. Arterial pH was 6.98, P co 2 was 5 mm Hg...

It has been generally accepted that superoxide anion generated by the mitochondrial respiratory transport chain are vectorially released into the mitochondrial matrix, where they are converted to hydrogen peroxide through the catalytic action of Mn-superoxide dismutase. Release of superoxide anion into the intermembrane space is a controversial topic, partly unresolved by the reaction of supero...

We have measured the rates of superoxide anion generation by cytochrome bc(1) complexes isolated from bovine heart and yeast mitochondria and by cytochrome bc(1) complexes from yeast mutants in which the midpoint potentials of the cytochrome b hemes and the Rieske iron-sulfur cluster were altered by mutations in those proteins. With all of the bc(1) complexes the rate of superoxide anion produc...
