Three isostructural coordination networks of Ce, Pr, and Nd nitrate with 4,4'-bi-pyridine N,N'-dioxide (bpydo) are reported, namely poly[[tris-(nitrato-κ(2) O,O')cerium(III)]-bis-(μ2-4,4'-bi-pyridine N,N'-dioxide-κ(2) N:N')], [Ce(NO3)3(C10H8N2O2)2], poly[[tris-(nitrato-κ(2) O,O')praeseodymium(III)]-bis-(μ2-4,4'-bi-pyridine N,N'-dioxide-κ(2) N:N')], [Pr(NO3)3(C10H8N2O2)2], and poly[[tris(nitrato...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C(6)H(2)O(5))(CH(3)OH)(2)(H(2)O)](n), an infinite chain is formed along the b axis by linking of the Zn(OH(2))(CH(3)OH)(2) unit with one carboxyl-ate group of the furan-2,5-dicarboxyl-ate ligand. The Zn(II) ion is in a distorted octa-hedral environment with one weak coordination [Zn-O(carboxyl-ate) = 2.565 (3) Å] and two meth-anol mol-ecules l...

In the title complex, [Pr(2)(C(2)O(4))(3)(H(2)O)(4)](n), the two independent Pr(III) ions are both nine-coordinated in a distorted monocapped square-anti-prismatic geometry by seven O atoms from four oxalate ligands and two water mol-ecules. The Pr(III) ions are bridged by the oxalate ligands, forming a layer parallel to (001). O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the layers.

Suppose a language L can be decided by a bounded-error randomized algorithm that runs in space S and time n · poly(S). We give a randomized algorithm for L that still runs in space O(S) and time n · poly(S) that uses only O(S) random bits; our algorithm has a low failure probability on all but a negligible fraction of inputs of each length. An immediate corollary is a deterministic algorithm fo...

In the title compound, [CaCs2(C2O4)2(H2O)4] n , the Ca(2+) ion, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by four O atoms from two oxalate ligands and two bridging water mol-ecules in an octa-hedral geometry. The Cs(+) ion is coordinated by seven O atoms from six oxalate ligands, one bridging water and one terminal water mol-ecule. The oxalate ligand displays a scarce high denticity. The...

Schiff base sal-2,5-Clan = 2-(2,5-dichlorobenzylideneamino)phenol used as a new precursor for preparation of poly-2-(2,5-dichlorobenzylideneamino)phenol (PDCBAP). In an aqueous alkaline medium, NaOCl oxidant is capable of oxidative poly-condensation reaction (OP). Both sal-2,5-Clan and PDCBAP were characterized by solubility tests, FT-IR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy and TG-DTA studies. FT-IR and 1H-NMR...

In order to address preserved protein bioactivities and protein sustained-release problems, a method for preparing double-walled microspheres with a core (protein-loaded nanoparticles with a polymer-suspended granule system-formed core) and a second shell (a polymer-formed shell) for controlled drug release and preserved protein bioactivities has been developed using (solid-in-oil phase-in-hydr...
