first row transition metal complexes of phthalocyanine are employed as catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexene and cyclooctene using iodosylbenzene and pentafluoroiodosyl benzene. the catalysis was performed in dichloromethane: methanol:water (80:18:2) solvent mixture.  the products of the catalysis for cyclohexene are epoxycyclohexane, 2-cyclohexene-1-ol and 2-cyclohexene-1-one whereas for ...

In the title complex, [Ni(C7H3NO4)(C2H6OS)2(H2O)], the NiII cation is situated on a twofold rotation axis and exhibits a distorted octa-hedral NO5 coordination environment defined by a tridentate pyridine-2,6-di-carb-oxy-lic acid dianion (dpa2-), two dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mol-ecules, and a water mol-ecule. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds i...

The oculomotor nucleus (nIII) contains the motoneurons of medial, inferior, and superior recti (MR, IR, and SR), inferior oblique (IO), and levator palpebrae (LP) muscles. The delineation of motoneuron subgroups for each muscle is well-known in monkey, but not in human. We studied the transmitter inputs to human nIII and the trochlear nucleus (nIV), which innervates the superior oblique muscle ...

Oxidative addition represents a critical elementary step in myriad catalytic transformations. Here, the importance of thoughtful ligand design cannot be overstated. In this work, we report intermolecular activation iodobenzene (PhI) at coordinatively saturated 18-electron [Ni0(diphosphine)2] complex bearing Lewis acidic secondary coordination sphere. Whereas alkyl-substituted diphosphine comple...

Mononuclear metal-dioxygen adducts, such as metal-superoxo and -peroxo species, are generated as key intermediates in the catalytic cycles of dioxygen activation by heme and non-heme metalloenzymes. We have shown recently that the geometric and electronic structure of the Ni-O2 core in [Ni(n-TMC)(O2)]+ (n = 12 and 14) varies depending on the ring size of the supporting TMC ligand. In this study...

Sulfhydryl reagents affected the binding properties of the translocator domain, NIII, of enzyme IImtl in two ways: (i) the affinity for mannitol was reduced, and (ii) the exchange rate of bound and free mannitol was increased. The effect on the affinity was very much reduced after solubilization of enzyme IImtl in the detergent decylPEG. The effects were caused exclusively by reaction of the su...

In this study, the extraction and characterization of aquatic humic substances (AHS) from two blackwater rivers in Amazon basin was carried out order to assess seasonal effects AHS structure. addition, an investigation complexing capacities (CC) structures containing metal ions CdII, NiII PbII also done. The (of AHS) done using UV-Vis, molecular fluorescence, infrared spectroscopy. Negro River ...
