The title compound, [Fe(2)(C(14)H(10)NS(2))(2)(CO)(6)], was synthesized as a structural and biochemical model for the active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenase. The bond lengths (Fe-Fe, Fe-S and Fe-C) and angles (C-Fe-Fe and Fe-S-Fe) are within expected ranges. The S⋯S distance [2.9069 (12) Å] and the dihedral angle between two Fe-S-Fe planes [78.5 (3)°] of the butterfly-shaped Fe(2)S(2) core are enlar...

Reduction of Fe(3+) to Fe(2+) is a prerequisite for Fe uptake by tomato roots. Ferric chelate reductase activity in plasma membranes (PM) isolated from roots of both iron-sufficient (+Fe) and iron-deficient (-Fe) tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was measured as NADH-dependent ferric citrate reductase and exhibited simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics for the substrates, NADH and Fe(3+)(citr...

The structure of the iron sites of nitrogenase in dithionite-reduced and thionine-oxidized forms of the Mo-Fe and V-Fe proteins has been investigated using Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. For the dithionite-reduced Azotobacter uinelandii Mo-Fe protein, the dominant EXAFS Fourier transform peaks are assigned to F e 4 and Fe-Fe interactions at -2.32 and 2.64 A, as expected for F e S clus...

Interfacial electron transfer has been shown to occur between sorbed Fe(II) and structural Fe(III) in Fe oxides, but it is unknown whether a similar reaction occurs between sorbed Fe(II) and Fe(III)-bearing clay minerals. Here, we used the isotopic specificity of (57)Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy to demonstrate electron transfer between sorbed Fe(II) and structural Fe(III) in an Fe-bearing smectite...

A previous document, RFC 1341, defines a format and general framework for the representation of a wide variety of data types in Internet mail. This document defines one particular type of MIME data, the matter-transport/sentient-life-form type. The mattertransport/sentient-life-form MIME type is intended to facilitate the wider interoperation of electronic mail messages that include entire sent...

methanol steam reforming plays a pivotal role to produce hydrogen for fuel cell systems in a low temperature range. to accomplish higher methanol conversion and lower co production, the reaction was catalyzed by cuznfe mixed oxides. various ratios of fe and cu/zn were coprecipitated in differential method to optimize the cuznfe structure. the sample containing 45cu50zn5fe (wt. %) revealed its m...

to study the impact of iron nanoparticles foliar application on mitigating the effects of drought stress on yield, yield components and  oil percentage of goldasht spring safflower cultivar, an experiment was carried out in 2012 in the agricultural research farm station of islamic azad university, roudehen branch as split plot in a completely randomized blocks design with three replications. in...
