This paper reviews recent studies of highly conductive barium iron vanadate glass with a composition of 20 BaO ∙ 10 Fe2O3 ∙ 70 V2O5 (in mol %). Isothermal annealing of the vanadate glass for several ten minutes at a given temperature, higher than glass transition temperature or crystallization temperature, caused an increase in σ. Substitution of CuI (3d10), ZnII (3d10) and CuII (3d9) for FeIII...

The title compound, poly[bis-{μ2-4,4'-bis-[(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)meth-yl]biphenyl-κ2N4:N4'}bis-(nitrato-κO)zinc(II)], [Zn(NO3)2(C18H16N6)2] n , is a two-dimensional zinc coordination polymer constructed from 4,4'-bis-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)meth-yl]-1,1'-biphenyl units. It was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The ZnII cation is located on a...

Copper and zinc play important roles in Alzheimer disease pathology with recent reports describing potential therapeutics based on modulation of metal bioavailability. We examined the ability of a range of metal bis(thiosemicarbazonato) complexes (MII(btsc), where M=CuII or ZnII) to increase intracellular metal levels in Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing amyloid precursor protein (APP-...

Thermoplastic elastomers based on polyesters/carbonates have the potential to maximize recyclability, degradability and renewable resource use. However, they often underperform suffer from familiar trade-off between strength extensibility. Herein, we report well-defined reprocessable poly(ester-b-carbonate-b-ester) with impressive tensile strengths (60 MPa), elasticity (>800 %) recovery (95 %)....

A family of terbium probes was synthesized and evaluated for the luminescence detection of copper and zinc in water at neutral pH. Each probe incorporates a terbium ion chelated by a macrocyclic polyaminocarboxylate and conjugated to either one, two, or three phenanthridine antennas via a diamine linker. All three probes, Tb-1Phen, Tb-2Phen, and Tb-3Phen, exhibit similar responses toward copper...

Recently, we demonstrated that AgI can directly replace ZnII in zinc fingers (ZFs). The cooperative binding of to ZFs leads a thermodynamically irreversible formation silver clusters destroying the native ZF structure. Thus, reported loss biological function proteins is likely consequence such replacement. Here, report an X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) study AgnSn formed probe their struct...
