Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is used to study two dinuclear organometallic molecules, meta-Fe2 and para-Fe2, which have identical molecular formulas but differ in the geometry in which the metal centers are linked through a central phenyl ring. Both molecules show symmetric electron density when imaged with STM under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions at 77 K. Chemical oxidation of these molecu...

The catalytic activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in rat liver cytosol is stimulated by incubating with Fe2+, Mn2+, Co2+, and Cd2+. When purified, the enzyme no longer responds to Fe2+, Co2+, or Cd2+ but retains a response to Mn2+. Low concentrations of SO4(2-) in the incubation medium with enzyme and divalent transition metal allow stimulation by Fe2+ and Co2+ and enhance the respons...

Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ and I- are often supplemented to the diet of suckling and early weaning piglets, but little information is available regarding the effects of different Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ and I- mixtures on bacteria growth, diversity and fermentation characteristics of fermented liquid diet for piglets. Pyrosequencing was performed to investigate the effect of Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ and I- mixtures on ...

Heart failure is the leading cause of mortality in patients with transfusional iron (Fe) overload in which myocardial iron uptake ensues via a transferrin-independent process. We examined the ability of L-type Ca2+ channel modifiers to alter Fe2+ uptake by isolated rat hearts and ventricular myocytes. Perfusion of rat hearts with 100 nmol/L 59Fe2+ and 5 mmol/L ascorbate resulted in specific 59F...

Cofacial Fe2, Co2, and Ni2 complexes supported by a para-terphenyl diphosphine ligand were prepared. Central arene deplanarization and a μ2:(η(3),η(3)) coordination mode suggest partial bisallyl character in the Fe2 and Co2 complexes. An oxidation induced shift in Fe2-arene binding highlights the non-innocent nature of the arene ligand.

Sự thay thế ion Co2+ cho các Fe2+ trong hạt nano (NPs) CoxFe3-xO4 nhằm đổi dị hướng từ và lực kháng của NPs Fe3O4 được trông đợi sẽ có thể làm tăng hiệu quả đốt nóng (SAR) dưới tác dụng trường xoay chiều (AMF). Tuy nhiên, SAR còn phụ thuộc vào tham số khác như kích thước hay trạng thái cũng tần cường độ AMF. Báo cáo này trình bày một vài kết nghiên cứu cấu trúc, tính chất cảm ứng sắt (0 ≤ x 1) ...

Both Fe3 + and Fe2 + ions occur in FeCl3-doped polyacetylene. At low dopant levels ( < 0.01 mole frac­ tion) both Fe2 + and Fe3 + io'ns are paramagnetic down to 4.2 K. At dopant levels > 0.01 mole fraction, there is evidence from Mossbauer spectroscopy that Fe2+ ions associate into aggregates which are magneti­ cally ordered below 25 K. Aggregate formation appears to correlate with high electri...

Three biomimetic 2Fe2S complexes [{(micro-SCH2)2NCH2(2-C4H3O)}](Fe2(CO)6), [{(micro-SCH2)2 NCH2(2-C4H3S)}](Fe2(CO)6) and [{(micro-SCH2)2NCH2(5-Br-2-C4H2S)}Fe2(CO)6] were prepared as models for the active site of Fe-only hydrogenase by the convergent process from [(micro-S2)Fe2(CO)6] and N,N-bis(hydromethyl)-2-furan and thiophene. The structures of these complexes were identified spectroscopical...

Recent work has indicated that iron (oxyhydr-)oxides are capable of structurally incorporating and releasing metals and nutrients as a result of Fe2+-induced iron oxide recrystallization. In the present paper, we briefly review the current literature examining the mechanisms by which iron oxides recrystallize and summarize how recrystallization affects metal incorporation and release. We also p...
