aminocarboxylic acids, such as 2-aminobenzoic acid, react easily with [ir(cod)(pme3)3]cl, (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene), in thf to produce hydridoaminocarboxylato iridium(iii) complexes in high yields. these octahedral complexes are formed via oxidative addition reaction of the o-h bond of the carboxylic group with the central metal. the starting iridium(i) complex losses the cod molecule, the chlor...

A conducting molecular crystal TPP[MnIII(Pc)(CN)2]2 (MnIII: d4, S = 1, TPP = tetraphenylphosphonium and Pc = phthalocyanine) was fabricated. In its crystal structure, the [MnIII(Pc)(CN)2] units formed a one-dimensional regular chain along the c-axis with an overlap integral value of 8.6 × 10-3. TPP[MnIII(Pc)(CN)2]2 showed a semiconducting behaviour that also has been observed for isostructural ...

Despite extensive revisions over recent decades, the taxonomy of benthic octopuses (Family Octopodidae) remains in a considerable flux. Among groups of unresolved status is a species complex of morphologically similar shallow-water octopods from subtropical Australasia, including: Allopatric populations of Octopus tetricus on the eastern and western coasts of Australia, of which the Western Aus...

Mussels of the genus Mytilus segregate for a maternally transmitted F lineage and a paternally transmitted M lineage of mitochondrial DNA. Previous studies demonstrated that these lineages are older than the species of the M. edulis complex and that the M lineage evolves faster than the F lineage. Here we show that the latter observation also applies to a region of the molecule with no assigned...

We demonstrate photocatalytic hydrogen evolution using COF photosensitizers with molecular proton reduction catalysts for the first time. With azine-linked N2-COF photosensitizer, chloro(pyridine)cobaloxime co-catalyst, and TEOA donor, H2 evolution rate of 782 μmol h-1 g-1 and TON of 54.4 has been obtained in a water/acetonitrile mixture. PXRD, solid-state spectroscopy, EM analysis, and quantum...

Catalytic activity and stability of iron hexacyanocobaltate (FeIII[CoIII(CN)6], Fe–Co) for organophosphate hydrolysis are improved by doping divalent metal ions (MII = MnII, NiII, or CuII). The catalytic a series (FeIII0.8MII0.3)[CoIII(CN)6] (FeM–Co compounds) was examined in mixed solution water ethanol [9:1 (v/v)] containing disodium p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) at 60 °C. FeM–Co compounds ...
