Iron cobaltite powders CoxFe3ÿxO4 (1rxr2.46) were synthesized with compositions in between the cobalt ferrite CoFe2O4 and Co2.46Fe0.54O4. The cationic distribution of pure spinel phases was determined by Mössbauer spectroscopy: as Co content increases in the spinel oxide, Co cations replace Fe cations in the octahedral sites and Co cations migrate from octahedral to tetrahedral sites. Saturatio...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(17)ClNO(2)S(+)·HSO(4) (-), (I) [systematic name: (+)-(S)-5-[(2-chloro-phen-yl)(meth-oxy-carbon-yl)meth-yl]-4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridin-5-ium hydrogen sulfate], contains two independent cations of clopidogrel and two independent hydrogensulfate anions. The two independent cations are of similar conformation; however, this differs fro...

Divalent cations are involved in the function of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) as a light-driven proton pump. If cations are removed from purple membranes they become blue. Divalent cations such as Ca2+ or Pb2+ or trivalent ions, can be stoichiometrically titrated back on to these deionized membranes. The color transitions as a function of ion concentration for Ca2+ or Pb2+ are precisely comparable an...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [CoK(CHO2)3]n the Co cations are coordinated by six O-bonded formate anions in an octahedral coordination mode and the K cations are eightfold coordinated by seven O-bonded formate anions within irregular polyhedra. The Co cations are connected by bridging formate anions into a three-dimensional coordination network in which the K cations are embe...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C7H11N2)2[Mn(NCS)4(C7H10N2)2], the manganese(II) cations are coordinated by four N-bonded thio-cyanate anions and two N-bonded 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridine ligands into discrete complex dianions. For charge balance, two 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine counter cations are present, which do not coordinate to the metal cation. The asymmetric unit consists ...

The crystal structure of the title compound, (C(5)H(9)N(2))(2)[HgCl(4)], consists of discrete tetra-chloridomercurate dications and discrete 2-methyl-imidazolium cations. In the complex anion, the mercury cations are coordinated by four chloride anions with distances between 2.4568 (14) and 2.4936 (15) Å in a tetra-hedral geometry. In the crystal, the cations and anions are connected by inter-m...

Cations have generally been reported to prevent jellyfish venom-induced hemolysis through multiple mechanisms by spectrophotometry. Little attention has been paid to the potential interaction between cations and hemoglobin, potentially influencing the antagonistic effect of cations. Here, we explored the effects of five reported cations, La3+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ and Fe2+, on a hemolytic test syst...

Study was made of host-guest complexation of neutral crown ethers with fiveand six-membered Nheteroaromatic cations and purinium cation. Complexation of tetraphenylborate with selected Nheteroaromatic cations and tropylium cation also was studied. Crown ether complexes were characterized by mass spectrometric and 1H NMR spectrometric methods and by X-ray crystallography. Fast atom bombardment m...

By means of fully atomistic molecular simulations we study basic mechanisms of carbon nanotube interactions with several different room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) in their mixtures with acetonitrile. To understand the effects of the cation molecular geometry on the properties of the interface structure in the RTIL systems, we investigate a set of three RTILs with the same TFSI (bis (trif...

Sustained depolarization of the Xenopus oocyte membrane elicits a slowly activating Na+ current, thought to be due to the opening of sodium selective channels. These channels are induced to become voltage gated by the depolarization. They show unconventional gating properties and are insensitive to tetrodotoxin (TTX). The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of extracellular mult...
