lini0.5co0.5vo4 has been successfully synthesized by tartate precursor combustion method using li2co3, co(no3)2.6h2o, ni(no3)2.6h2o and nh4vo3 as a starting materials in deionized water with the subsequent calcination at 450-600 oc for 12 h. the combustion and decomposition of tartate precursor were studied by tga and compared with tartaric acid. it found weight loss at 50-450 oc. the product s...

The organo-amidocuprate [Cu(2)Li(2)Mes(2)(N(CH(2)Ph)(2))(2)] is solvated by thf to yield the monomeric contact ion pair complex [MesCuN(CH(2)Ph)(2).Li(thf)(3)] in which the Li cation is bound to the amido nitrogen; this behaviour differs significantly from that observed in diorganocuprates which favour solvent separate ion pairs.

1,N6 -Ethenoadenine (ϵA) and cytosine (C) are able to form two different metal-mediated base pairs. When the glycosidic bonds are arranged in a cisoid manner (i.e., in antiparallel-stranded DNA), the ϵA:C mispair binds one AgI ion, leading to a mononuclear ϵA-AgI -C base pair that contains a synergistic hydrogen bond. In contrast, a transoid orientation of the glycosidic bonds (as found in para...
