In the title thio-cyanate-bridged polynuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(C(10)H(12)NO(3))(NCS)](n), the Cu atom is five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry, with one phenolato O, one imino N and one hy-droxy O atom of a Schiff base ligand and one thio-cyanato N atom defining the basal plane, and with one thio-cyanato S atom occupying the apical position. In the crystal structure, pairs of a...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C(13)H(20)N(2)O(2))(2)](NCS)(2), contains one half-dication, located on an inversion center, and one thio-cyanate anion. Each Cu(II) atom is four-coordinated by two phenolate O and two imine N atoms from two symmetry-related Schiff base 2-{[2-(isopropyl-aza-nium-yl)eth-yl]imino-meth-yl}-6-meth-oxy-phenolate (L) ligands in a distorted square-planar ...

AIMS To investigate the effect of lactic acid (LA), copper (II), and monolaurin as natural antimicrobials against Cronobacter in infant formula. METHODS AND RESULTS The effect of LA (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% v/v), copper (II) (10, 50 and 100 microg ml(-1)) and monolaurin (1000, 2000, and 3000 microg ml(-1)) suspended into tween-80 or dissolved in ethanol against Cronobacter in infant formula was inv...

A new copper(II) complex with formulae of [Cu(buobb)(2)](pic)(2), where buobb stands for the ligand of 1,3-bis(1- butylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxopropane and pic represents 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity, IR, UV-Vis spectra measurements, and cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structure of the copper(II) complex has been determine...

A new method for the determination of trace copper(II) in food samples by Cloud Point Extraction(CPE) combined with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry(FAAS) is presented and evaluated. The method is based on the fact that hydrophobic complex of copper(II) with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) was formed at pH 6.0 and subsequently the hydrophobic complex was extracted into surfactant-r...

The new a-pyrone derivative II was isolated in crystalline form from extracts of dormant seeds of Rosa canina. It inhibits germination of seeds of Amaranthus caudatus completely, but reversibly, at conc. > 2.5 x 10~5 m . Its chemical structure was elucidated by mass spectrometry, 'Hand 13CNMR spectroscopy to be 3-methyl-l-oxa-bicyclo (4,1,0) hept-5-en-2-one-4,6-dicarboxylic acid di­ methylester...

In the title compound, [Cu(C(13)H(7)BrCl(2)NO)(2)], or CuL(2) {where HL= 2-[(E)-(2-chloro-phenyl-imino)-meth-yl]-6-bromo-4-chloro-phenol}, the Cu(II) atom is located on an inversion center and has a square-planar coordination. In the crystal, complex mol-ecules are linked via Cu⋯Cl inter-actions [2.9933 (11) Å], forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane. They are also Cl⋯Cl int...

The 4-carboxymethylen-4-sulfo-but-2-en-olide (4-sulfomuconolactone) hydrolases from Hydrogenophaga intermedia strain S1 and Agrobacterium radiobacter strain S2 are part of a modified protocatechuate pathway responsible for the degradation of 4-sulfocatechol. In both strains, the hydrolase-encoding genes occur downstream of those encoding the enzymes that catalyze the lactonization of 3-sulfomuc...
