Unprecedented regioselectivity to the branched aldehyde product in the hydroformylation of propene was attained on embedding a rhodium complex in supramolecular assembly L2, formed by coordination-driven self-assembly of tris(meta-pyridyl)phosphine and zinc(II) porpholactone. The design of cage L2 is based on the ligand-template approach, in which the ligand acts as a template for cage formatio...

For the first time, complex compound of zinc (II) 1, 2, 4, 5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid with a porous structure was synthesized. Individuality and chemical formula determined according to X-ray diffraction, elemental, IR spectroscopy derivatographic analysis. The process thermal decomposition resulting also studied. It is found that, despite fact that parameters unit cell crystal are significa...

The thiosemicarbazone of 9-anthraldehyde, (9-ATSC) and its group 12 metal complexes have been synthesized. The four compounds have been characterized by IR, electronic and NMR spectrometries, molar conductivity, melting points and elemental analysis. In all the complexes, the 9-ATSC coordinates through the sulfur and the azomethinic nitrogen. The zinc (II) complex shows a 1:2 metal to ligand st...

A molecular Solomon link was synthesized through the assembly of an interwoven molecular grid consisting of four bis(benzimidazolepyridyl)benzthiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole ligands and four zinc(II), iron(II), or cobalt(II) cations, followed by ring-closing olefin metathesis. NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography confirmed the doubly interlocked topology, and subsequent demeta...

Sodium bis(L-cysteinato)zincate(II) hexahydrate (1) and bis(0-ethvl-L-cysteinato)zinc(II) (2) have been prepared from respectively alkaline (pH > 1 1 ) and neutral aqueous solutions and their structures determined by X-ray structural analysis. N ,S-coordination of the Zn atoms with the formation of two five-membered chelate rings is observed for both com plexes. The deprotonated carboxylate gro...

In the title centrosymmetric zinc(II) complex, [Zn(2)(C(4)H(13)NO(2))(2)(C(6)H(5)N)(2)], each Zn(II) atom is coordinated by two 2-[(2-oxidobenzyl-idene)amino-meth-yl]phenolate (L) ligands and one pyridine (py) mol-ecule in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Each L ligand behaves as a tridentate ligand and provides a phenolate oxygen bridge which links the two Zn(II) atoms. The ZnL(py) u...

The electrodeposition of iron and Zn-Fe alloys on polycrystalline nickel was investigated in the 40.0-60.0 mol % zinc chloride1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid containing iron~II! at 90°C. Iron~II! was electrochemically reduced to iron metal before the reduction of zinc~II! to zinc metal, and anomalous codeposition of Zn-Fe did not occur in this ionic liquid. Underpotential depo...

Human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II) has a histidine at position 64 (His64) that donates a proton to the zinc-bound hydroxide in catalysis of the dehydration of bicarbonate. To examine the effect of the histidine location on proton shuttling, His64 was replaced with Ala and Thr200 replaced with histidine (H64A-T200H HCAII), effectively relocating the proton shuttle residue 2 A closer to the zin...

The x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) zinc K-edge steps for intact stages I,II and V,VI Xenopus laevis oocytes demonstrate that the zinc concentration is about 3 and 1 mM, respectively. However, the chi(k) function for the early stage oocytes differs markedly from that for the late one. Analysis of the XAFS data for stage I,II oocytes indicates that zinc is bound to 2.0 +/- 0.5 sulfur atom...

Gravimetric, titrimetric, polarographic, optical and radiochemical methods have been reported for the determination of iron(II) and (III). Numerous reagents have also been reported for the spectrophotometric determination of Fe(II); for example, thiocyanate, dipyridine, tripyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline. The 1,10phenanthroline family has been extended to the use of dihydroxy, dimethyl, nitro ...
