The title compound, (C(8)H(20)N)(2)[Cu(2)Mo(2)(C(2)H(4)S(2))(2)(CN)(2)S(4)], is a sulfide-bridged tetranuclear complex in which the complex anion comprises one [(edt)(2)Mo(2)S(2)(μ-S)(2)](2-) unit (edt = ethanedithiol-ate) and two CuCN units joined through six Cu-μ(3)-S bonds, thus forming a cubane-like [Mo(2)S(4)Cu(2)] core. There are two independent cation-anion complex entities in the asymme...

The biological antagonism between copper and molybdenum was discovered when cattle grazing pastures high in Mo were found to develop a syndrome characterized by diarrhoea, growth retardation, anaemia and achromotrichia, which could be prevented by administering Cu. This syndrome was subsequently reproduced in non-ruminants, but further studies revealed important differences in the nature of the...

The role of molybdenum (Mo) and copper (Cu) in regulation the activities of the enzymes involved in primary nitrogen assimilation in particular the nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1) and glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2) was examined. Pea plants were grown in a phytotron chamber at 12 h photoperiod, day /night temperature 25/18 C and photon flux density of 95 μmol m s until 21 day. Plants were grow...

Angus bull calves (n = 42; 7 mo of age; 254 kg initial BW) were used to investigate the effects of dietary Cu and Mo on immune function of stressed cattle. Randomly selected calves (n = 22) were injected with 90 mg of Cu as Cu glycinate 28 d before weaning and castrated at weaning. These calves received 7.5 and 5 mg of supplemental Cu/kg of DM during a 41-d receiving phase and a 196-d growing p...

due to substantial effect of classification of resource models on future mine planning, one should come with an accurate method of estimation to guarantee that the minimum error is acquired in the estimation process. the known world class cu-mo deposit, sarcheshmeh porphyry deposit (central iran) selected as the study area. the hypogene zone of the deposit was chosen as the space in which estim...

Concentrations of heavy metals (As, Co, Cu, Ni, Mo, Pb and Zn) are studied in the soil of Shiraz industrial complex zone, south Shiraz, Iran to asses metal contamination due to industrialization, urbanization and agricultural activity. Soil samples were collected from three different depths. The A and C depths are enriched with metals such as Ni, As, Mo, Cu, Pb and Zn, compared with the B depth...

A Cu(II)-phenanthroline connected Strandberg-type polyoxometalate based proton conducting MOF, Cu(3)Mo(5)P(2), that contains one dimensional parallel water channels has been reported. Cu(3)Mo(5)P(2) shows proton conduction at room temperature as well as elevated temperature.
