Rod-shaped bacteria capable of oxidizing ferrous iron at 55 degrees C were cultured from samples of a copper mine leach dump. Yeast extract or cysteine was required by these Thiobacillus-like bacteria for growth, using ferrous iron as an energy source.

The decomposition of 2-(1-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-2-yl-imino)-1,2-diphenylethanone in the presence of copper acetate promoted the formation of a two-dimensional homospin Cu(II) ferrimagnet featuring S-shaped hexanuclear secondary building blocks and a new pentanodal topology.

A new bulky pyrene-derived elongated cross-shaped organic scaffold was successfully incorporated into a highly porous, noninterpenetrated square-grid copper(II)-organic framework material with the unprecedentedly huge dimensions of 25.5 x 25.5 A(2), while the layer-to-layer NH...N interaction leads to a unique hydrogen-bonded 6(4).8(2)-nbo net.

Copper trimesate (Cu-BTC) MOF has been pointed out as a promising adsorbent for separating carbon dioxide from methane. However, MOF’s need to be shaped prior to their use in packed bed adsorbers in order to reduce pressure drop; on the other hand, the production of mechanically resistant shaped bodies reduces their adsorption performance. In this work, Cu-BTC tablets provided by BASF are evalu...

We report on a novel fabrication approach of metal nanowires with complex surface. Taking advantage of nodular growth triggered by the presence of surface defects created intentionally on the substrate as well as the high tilt angle between the magnetron source axis and the normal to the substrate, metal nanowires containing hillocks emerging out of the surface can be created. The approach is d...

Abstract In order to discuss the effect of different outer liner material on performance double cylinder-cone shaped charge, nonlinear dynamics software Autodyn-2D was used carry out numerical simulation, and jet shape penetration steel target were analysed when copper, nickel, tungsten, tantalum as materials copper inner cover material. The result shows that head is formed by cylindrical part ...

We report the synthesis of alloyed quaternary and quinary nanocrystals based on copper chalcogenides, namely, copper zinc selenide-sulfide (CZSeS), copper tin selenide-sulfide (CTSeS), and copper zinc tin selenide-sulfide (CZTSeS) nanoplatelets (NPLs) (∼20 nm wide) with tunable chemical composition. Our synthesis scheme consisted of two facile steps: i.e., the preparation of copper selenide-sul...

The Cover Feature shows that 1-butene molecules can penetrate into a dense crystalline solid and drive the transformation of planar trinuclear fluorinated copper(I) pyrazolate complexes toward boat-shaped, dinuclear copper-butene adducts. chemistry these with is also examined in solution, comparison analogous adducts formed ethene propene provided.
