The synthesis and characterization of [Cu2(L)(3,5 prz)] (L1=1,3-Bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-chlorosalicylideneamino)propan-2-ol) 1 and of [Cu2(L)(3,5 prz)] (L2=1,3-Bis(2-hydroxy-bromosalicylideneamino)propan-2-ol) 2 are reported. The compounds were studied by elemental analysis, infrared and electronic spectra. The structure of the Cu2(L)(3,5 prz)] complex was determined by x-ray diffraction. The magneto...

A technique for the selective measurement of diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT) for free Cu2+ ions was developed using a 0.030 M solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the liquid binding phase with the liquid-type DGT devices (PVA DGT). The PVA DGT had a substantial binding capacity at pH 5.6 - 8.6 and concentrations of competitive Na+ up to 0.7 M. The measurements of PVA DGT and cupric io...

Copper and silver, respectively, were introduced into single crystals of CsCdF3. Our detailed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study showed that both elements enter the Cd lattice site-copper as Cu2+, silver as Ag+, which then was converted into AgH by x raying the corresponding samples. Cu2+ and Ai+ were shown to present in their ground state a pseudostatic J ahn-Teller effect. Motional e...

Two Cu2+-specific colorimetric sensors, based on ferrocene-carbohydrate bioconjugates, 2, C46H56O20N6Fe and 3, C28H33O10N3Fe were designed and synthesized in good yields. Both the compounds, 2 and 3, behave as very selective and sensitive chromogenic and electrochemical chemosensor for Cu2+ ion in aqueous environment (CH3CN/H2O (2:8, v/v). The analytical detection limit (ADL) for receptor 2 was...

We report the first preparation of a supramolecular polysulfide polymer using metal-ligand interactions. The was prepared by introducing 2,2’-bipyridine (bpy) at both ends linear sulfur and linking bpy with Cu2+. molecular weight higher than obtained via conventional polymerization. Disassembly re-assembly polymers were controlled de-metalation Cu2+ from complex between re-formation addition ch...

The ground-state spin arrangement and the bipartite entanglement within Cu2+-Cu2+ dimers across magnetization process of 4f-3d heterometallic coordination polymer [Dy(hfac)2(CH3OH)2Cu(dmg)(Hdmg)2]n (H2dmg = dimethylglyoxime, Hhfac 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dione) are theoretically examined using symmetric isotropic spin-1/2 Ising–Heisenberg orthogonal-dimer chain. numerical results poin...

1. In liver microsomal membranes from adult rabbits treated with beta-naphthoflavone, reaction with Cu2+ salts plus 1,10-phenanthroline leads to the cross-linking of the two specifically beta-naphthoflavone-inducible cytochrome P-450 species, form 4 and form 6, to form homo- and hetero-dimer species. 2. The cross-linking is not reversed by treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol, so that it can be obs...

The in vitro instability of the phenylalanine-sensitive 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase [DAHPS(Phe)] from Escherichia coli has been found to be due to a metal-catalyzed oxidation mechanism. DAHPS(Phe) is one of three differentially feedback-regulated isoforms of the enzyme which catalyzes the first step of aromatic biosynthesis, the formation of DAHP from phosphoenolpyruvat...

A multigeneration acclimation experiment was performed with Daphnia magna exposed to copper to assess possible changes in tolerance and to establish the optimal concentration range (OCEE) of this species. The hypothesis was tested that as the bioavailable background concentration of an essential metal increases (within realistic limits), the natural tolerance (to the metal) of the acclimated/ad...

A two-photon "turn-on" fluorescent probe based on carbon nanodots for imaging and selective biosensing of hydrogen sulfide in live cells and tissues. Analyst 2014 Feb 27. Abstract: Determination of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in live cells and tissues is still a challenge for evaluating the key roles that H2S plays in physiological and pathologi...
