The syntrophic community between anaerobic methanotrophic archaea and sulfate reducing bacteria forms thick, black layers within multi-layered microbial mats in chimney-like carbonate concretions of methane seeps located in the Black Sea Crimean shelf. The microbial consortium conducts anaerobic oxidation of methane, which leads to the formation of mainly two biomineral by-products, calcium car...

In the absence of iron, dissolution of zinc sulfide was enhanced by the action of Acidithiobacillus caldus at 40 o C. The bioleaching mechanism was similar to that observed for mesophilic species of Acidithiobacillus at 30 o C, although the final metal recovery was lower. When iron was added to the cultures, the solubilization of zinc and copper from the sulfides was higher than that in sterile...

for the first time, dioxomolybdenum(vi) complex with the general formula [moo2l2] containing a n-o bidentate ligands (hl=2-(o-aminophenyl)- benzimidazole) has been used for the oxidation of sulfides. elemental analyses (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen), ft-ir and uv-visble spectra and 1hnmr analysis agree well with the proposed stoicheiometry of the complex [moo2l2].  a variety of sulfides were smoo...

Major elements, highly siderophile elements (HSE) and Re–Os isotope ratios were analysed in situ on individual sulfide grains in spinel peridotite xenoliths hosted by Miocene intraplate basalts from the Penghu Islands, Taiwan. The xenoliths represent texturally and compositionally different mantle domains, and the geochemical characteristics of the sulfides show changes in HSE distribution and ...

in the present work, highly efficient oxidation of sulfides catalyzed by moo2(acac)2 supported on multi-wall carbon nanotubes, mwcnts, modified with 1,2-diaminobenzene (dab) and 2-aminophenol (ap), at room temperature are reported. the effects of various parameters such as reaction time, solvent, catalyst amount, oxidant, etc, were studied. these heterogenized catalysts showed high activity in ...

The metabolism and cytotoxicity of benzyl 1,2,3,4,4-pentachlorobuta-1,3-dienyl sulfide (1) and benzyl 2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethyl sulfide (2) were studied as an alternative test of the hypothesis that the toxicity of the cysteine S-conjugates S-(pentachlorobutadienyl)-L-cysteine and S-(2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethyl)-L-cysteine is associated with their metabolism to unstable thiols; the expect...

Silicon and germanium containing heteroaromatic sulfides have been prepared using phase transfer catalytic (PTC) system thiol / Si or Ge containing alkyl halide / solid KOH / 18- crown-6 / toluene. The target sulfides were isolated in yields up to 92 %. It has been found that 2-{[dimethyl (beta-triethylgermylethyl)-silylmethyl]thio}-1-methylimidazole and 2-{[dimethyl(beta-triphenylsilylethyl) s...

Monomeric Ti(IV)/C3 trialkanolamine complexes are effective catalysts in the stereoselective sulfoxidation of alkyl aryl sulfides (ee’s up to 84%, 0.1% of catalyst). Such complexes were shown to have a biphilic nature, behaving as electrophilic oxidants towards sulfides while a nucleophilic pathway dominates the oxidation of sulfoxides. The analogous Zr(IV) complexes, likely dimeric, are even b...

Electrodeposition has been widely used for the low-cost formation of large-area thin films of various crystalline materials. In this work, we use thermodynamic calculations to guide electrochemical experiments, in which we conduct a systematic investigation of crystalline iron sulfides formation on electrically poised iron substrates in H2S aqueous solutions. Whereas thermodynamic calculations ...
