A recent technique involving the use of paper electrophoresis is described for the study of equilibria in binary complex systems in solution. The stability constants of the ML and ML2 complex species of some metal ions, namely beryllium(II) and cobalt(II), with hydroxyproline were determined in 0.1 mol L perchloric acid and a temperature of 35 °C. The logarithm stability constants of the ML and...

The anaerobic biosynthesis of vitamin B12 is slowly being unravelled. Recent work has shown that the first committed step along the anaerobic route involves the sirohydrochlorin (chelation of cobalt into factor II). The following enzyme in the pathway, CbiL, methylates cobalt-factor II to give cobalt-factor III. Recent progress on the molecular characterization of this enzyme has given a greate...

The cysG gene of Salmonella typhimurium is involved in synthesis of both cobalamin (B12) and siroheme (a cofactor required for SO3(2-) and NO2(2-) reductases). The failure to reduce SO3(2-) leads to cysteine auxotrophy, for which the enzyme is named. Although Escherichia coli does not synthesize B12 de novo, it possesses a very similar CysG enzyme which has been shown to catalyze two methylatio...

In this paper, the effect of nanocatalytic metal-organic framework based on copper metal and bis-tetrazolamine (CuBTA) ligand functionalized with cobalt (II) oxide nanoparticles on the thermal decomposition behavior of ammonium perchlorate (AP), using differential survey calorimetry (DSC) has been reviewed. First, the metal-organic framework (CuBTA) was synthesized from the raw materials of cop...

the present work describes a selective, rapid and sensitive method for the determination of cobalt using the adsorptive differential pulse voltammetry technique. the method is based on the accumulation of co(ii) complex with 2-aminocyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid on a hanging mercury drop electrode, followed by measurement of the current of the adsorbed complex. the effects of experimental...

Cobalt(II) complexes with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug mefenamic acid in the presence or absence of nitrogen donor heterocyclic ligands (2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline or pyridine) have been synthesized and characterized with physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The experimental data suggest that mefenamic acid acts as deprotonated monodentate ligand coordinated to Co...

In present paper the equilibrium of cobalt extraction with 1-(2-pyridyl)tridecan-1-one oxime from the chloride/sulphate solutions was studied. The presented results indicated that extraction depends on a number of process variables, including the pH, metal and Cl- concentration in the aqueous feed, and concentration of the oxime in the organic phase. The created cobalt-complexes with the 2-pyri...

Cobalt(II)-hexacyanoferrates(II) with incorporated monovalent Na+, K + , N H i + and Cs+ ions have been synthetized. Chemical composition and structure of the unit cell of the crystallites have been determined by X-ray and I R analysis. It has been found that all crystallites containing the monovalent cations are isomorphous having an FCC structure, whereas the cobalt(II)-hexacyanoferrate(II) c...

The title compound, [Co(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(4)](2)[Co(H(2)O)(6)](C(11)H(7)O(8))(2)·4H(2)O, was obtanied by the reaction of cobalt acetate with 3,5-bis-(carb-oxy-meth-oxy)benzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline. The asymmetric unit contains one tetra-aqua-(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) cation, one half of a hexa-aqua-cobalt(II) cation that is completed by inversion symmetry, one 3,5-bis-(carboxy...

Crystallizing the cobalt(II) salt of the azo dye Orange G from water was found to give the solvent-separated ion-pair species hexa-aqua-cobalt(II) 7-oxo-8-(2-phenyl-hydrazin-1-ylidene)-7,8-dihydro-naphthalene-1,3-disulfonate tetra-hydrate, [Co(H(2)O)(6)](C(16)H(10)N(2)O(7)S(2))·4H(2)O. The asymmetric unit of the cobalt(II) salt contains three independent octa-hedral [Co(OH(2))(6)](2+) cations, ...
