In the present study we have synthesized new trinuclear complexes of alkali metal salts with interaction of stable metal chelates of violuric Acid of Ni(II) & Cu(II) having general formula [Ma(H2Va)2.(MbL)2] and [Ma(H2Va)2.(MbX)2] where Ma=Ni (II) or Cu(II) and Mb =Li + , Na & K , H2Va= deprotonated Violuric Acid , L=deprotonated 1-nitroso-2-naphthol or 8-hydroxyquinoline and, X= ClO-4 or SCN ....

In the present study we have synthesized new binuclear complexes of alkali and alkaline earth metal salts with interaction of stable metal chelates of isonitrosopropiophenone of Ni(II) & Cu(II) having general formula [Ma(INPP)2.MbL] and [Ma(INPP)2.MbX] for alkali metal adducts and [ Ma(INPP)2.MbL2] and [ Ma(INPP)2.MbX2] for alkaline earth metal adducts where Ma=Ni (II) or Cu(II) and Mb =Li+ , N...

In vivo biosensing requires stable transistor operation in high-salt concentration bodily fluids while exhibiting impermeability to mobile alkali ions that would otherwise render the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) threshold voltage to drift. Metal oxide semiconductor capacitor structures using Al2O3 as the gate dielectric were soaked in a sterile physiological buffer solution (PBS) up to 24 ho...

synthesis and cation selectivity of 25, 27, dipropoxy-26, 28, di-propoxy 5, 11, 17, 23, ptert-butyl calix[4]arene are studied in acetonitrile solution. the stability constants of differentcomplexes of calixarene (as a ligand) with alkali metal cations are determined at 25 °c by usingspectrophotometric technique.on the basis of calculations, complexation of calixarene with cs+and li+ are more fa...

Alkali metal cations can interact with Fe-N2 complexes, potentially enhancing back-bonding or influencing the geometry of the iron atom. These influences are relevant to large-scale N2 reduction by iron, such as in the FeMoco of nitrogenase and the alkali-promoted Haber-Bosch process. However, to our knowledge there have been no systematic studies of a large range of alkali metals regarding the...

Calixarenes are a readily available and important class of macrocycles in supramolecularchemistry. Calixarenes have generated considerable interest due to their basket shaped structureand as useful building blocks to synthesize selective receptors for the guest species, notably alkali,alkaline earth, lanthanide and transition metal cations. In this work studied on the complexingproperties of a ...

Alkali metals can react explosively with water and it is textbook knowledge that this vigorous behaviour results from heat release, steam formation and ignition of the hydrogen gas that is produced. Here we suggest that the initial process enabling the alkali metal explosion in water is, however, of a completely different nature. High-speed camera imaging of liquid drops of a sodium/potassium a...

We report a combined experimental and computational study of the whey protein β-lactoglobulin (BLG) in different electrolyte solutions. Vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) and ellipsometry were used to investigate the molecular structure of BLG modified air-water interfaces as a function of LiCl, NaCl, and KCl concentrations. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and thermodynamic integrat...

High-sensitivity radioluminescence (RL) and thermoluminescence (TL) measurements were carried out on samples of natural leucite (with 2.95% of Na2O) from Campania Vessa (Italy). Samples were annealed to modify the charge compensation through alkali metal self-diffusion and to produce luminescence centres. High-temperature powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and chemical analyses we...

Synthesis of new podands from resorcinarene and diethylene glycols are reported. The binding properties of these podands with alkali metal cations was studied by means of ESI-MS. The experimental results for podands with long diethylene glycol arms show the stable inclusion complexes with one or two metal cations and high affinity for sodium and potassium ions. This podands under appropriate co...
