In the molecule of the centrosymmetric title compound, [Co(C(25)H(20)N(2)O(5))(2)(H(2)O)(4)](ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O, the Co atom is octa-hedrally coordinated by four water mol-ecules lying in the equatorial plane and two monodentate carboxyl-ate groups from two dicarboxylate ligands. The crystal structure involves O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds..

We report a comparative study on the 2D self-assembly of two related ditopic benzoic acid species, which have similar shape and endgroups but different backbone symmetry. High-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy data reveal how the symmetry information of molecular building blocks is readily expressed in the resulting chiral or nonchiral supramolecular networks. The underlying square Cu(10...

With the aim of further developing the structure-activity relationship in biologically active half-sandwich Ru(ii)-[9]aneS(3) complexes ([9]aneS(3)=1,4,7-trithiacyclononane), a series of new mono- and dinuclear complexes bearing the chelating dicarboxylate ligands oxalate (ox), malonate (mal) and methylmalonate (mmal), have been synthesized and studied. Treatment of the precursor [Ru([9]aneS(3)...

Oxidative phosphorylation can be treated as two groups of reactions; those that generate protonmotive force (dicarboxylate carrier, succinate dehydrogenase and the respiratory chain) and those that consume protonmotive force (adenine nucleotide and phosphate carriers. ATP synthase and proton leak). Mitochondria from hypothyroid rats have lower rates of respiration in the presence of ADP (state ...
