A method was developed for the separation of CdII, PbII, PtII, CoII, NiII, BiIII, CrII, CuII and HgII bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamate (HEDTC) complexes by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography. The complexes were formed by pre-capillary reaction of the metal ions with an excess of the ligand and then separated using a 100 mm borate buffer (pH 9.2) containing 4% methanol (v/v), 10 ...

The direct and conjugate shake-up cross sections for the 2p → 3p, 3s and 2s → 2p, 3s transitions are calculated for CII, NIII, OIV, FV and NeVI in a close-coupling approximation using the R-matrix method. We find that the total shake-up cross section relative to that for single photoionization decreases with increasing Z. The decrease is about a factor 10 when going from BI to NeVI. When the fu...

Supernovae play a key role in the dynamics, structure, and chemical evolution of galaxies. The massive stars that end their lives as supernovae live for short enough times that many are still associated with dusty star formation regions when they explode, making them difficult to observe at visible wavelengths. In active star forming regions (galactic nuclei and starburst regions), dust extinti...

The tetra-nuclear title complex, [Ni4(C14H11NO2)4(CH3OH)4]·0.8CH3OH, has a distorted cubane topology shaped by four Schiff base ligands. The cubane [Ni4(μ3-O4)] core is formed via the O atoms from the Schiff base ligands. The octa-hedrally coordinated NiII ions occupy alternating vertices of the cube. Each NiII ion is coordinated by one O,N,O'-tridentate dianionic ligand, two O atoms of oxidoph...

The resolutions of metal-4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol chelates by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) were investigated in the presence of some interacting reagents; also, equilibrium reactions between the chelates and the interacting reagents were analyzed in an aqueous solution. Among nine metal chelates formed in aqueous solution, the chelates of VV, FeII, CoIII, NiII, and CuII were resolved ...

A family of terbium probes was synthesized and evaluated for the luminescence detection of copper and zinc in water at neutral pH. Each probe incorporates a terbium ion chelated by a macrocyclic polyaminocarboxylate and conjugated to either one, two, or three phenanthridine antennas via a diamine linker. All three probes, Tb-1Phen, Tb-2Phen, and Tb-3Phen, exhibit similar responses toward copper...

Mutual chiral recognition of four stereoisomers of tadalafil and three pairs of enantiomers of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) including pantoprazole, lansoprazole, and omeprazole, as well as quantitative analysis of enantiomeric excess is achieved on the basis of the competitive fragmentation of doubly charged trimeric NiII cluster ions. Compared with a singly charged trimeric cluster ion, a dou...

The antimonato-polyoxovanadate {NiII(en)3}3[VSbO42(H2O)]·ca.15H2O was utilized as a synthon for the solvothermal in situ generation of the new compound {NiII(phen)3}2[{NiII(en)2}VSbO42(H2O)]·19H2O, a rearrangement induced by ligand metathesis. While in the precursor structure cations and anions are isolated, the solid-state structure of the product is characterized by 1D chains consisting of al...

The ligand 2-(acetylacetonato)-iminobenzohydroxamic acid and its different mixed ligand novel complexes with NiII having specific formulae have been synthesized and characterised by elemental analyses, magnetic and conductance measurements, IR and electronic spectral studies. The ligand was found to behave in dibasic tetradentate (OO’ NO donor) manner. All the synthesized NiII complexes were no...

A new complex, namely bis-[4'-(furan-2-yl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine]-nickel(II) dichloride deca-hydrate, [Ni(C19H13N3O)2]Cl2·10H2O, has been crystallized by solvent evaporation and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination environment of the NiII cation is distorted octa-hedral with slight deviations from an idealized geometry. The most intriguing structural feature is ...
