The title compound, C(19)H(23)F(2)N(4)O(3) (+)·0.5SO(4) (2-)·2.5H(2)O, an anti-bacterial fluoro-quinolone, crystallized as a racemic twin (major twin component = 0.633) in the chiral space group P1. The asymmetric unit contains two sparfloxacinium cations, one sulfate anion and five mol-ecules of water of solvation. The bond lengths and angles of both cations are almost identical. The quinoline...

In the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(+)·I(-), the cation is disordered over two orientations related by a 180° rotation about its long axis with occupancies of 0.554 (7) and 0.446 (7). Both disorder components exist in an E configuration. The dihedral angle between the pyridinium ring and the naphthalene ring system is 4.7 (6)° in the major disorder component and 1.6 (8)° in the minor component. ...

Lipophilic cations (tetraphenylarsonium, tetraphenylphosphonium, and triphenylmethylphosphonium) caused a number of major changes in the physiology of Bacillus subtilis. Macromolecular synthesis was inhibited, adenosine 5'-triphosphate concentration increased, swimming speed was reduced, tumbling was suppressed, and the capacity to take up the cations was greatly enhanced; respiration was not s...

  Adsorption of cations Al, Zn, Fe, Cr and Pb from aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide using IR-120 cation-exchange resin was studied. The removal percentage of the cations was examined by varying experimental conditions (such as pH of the hydrogen peroxide solution, temperature, contact time and dosage of adsorbent) i...

A proton NMR method for the determination of the solvation numbers of alkaline earth cations with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in nitromethane as diluent is described. The method is based on the monitoring of the resonance frequency of DMSO protons as a function of DMSO to metal ion mole ratio while keeping the metal ion concentration constant. The average solvation number of cations at any...

In the title salt, (C(5)H(13)N(2)O(2))(2)[SnBr(6)], the Sn atom (site symmetry ) exists in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The cation is non-planar as the terminal CH(2)NH(3) (+) residue lies below the plane defined by the remaining non-H atoms. In the crystal, cations associate via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the ammonium and carbonyl residues, forming a 14-membered {⋯HNC(2)NCO}(...

In the title mixed salt, 2C16H15N2 (+)·C6H4ClO3S(-)·NO3 (-), one of the cations shows whole mol-ecule disorder over two sets of sites in a 0.711 (7):0.289 (7) ratio. The 4-chorobenzenesulfon-ate anion is also disordered over two orientations in a 0.503 (6):0.497 (6) ratio. The cations are close to planar, the dihedral angles between the pyridinium and indole rings being 1.48 (3)° in the ordered...

Complex multiphase waste system purification, as one of the major challenges in many industrial fields, urgently needs an efficient one-step purification method to remove several pollutants simultaneously and efficiently. Multi-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles, Fe3O4@SiO2-MPS-AM-DMC-AMPS, were facilely prepared via a one-pot in situ polymerization of three different functional monomers, AM...

Cation diffusion was investigated in La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-δ (LSC) thin films on (100) yttria stabilized zirconia in the temperature range 625-800 °C. Isotopic ((86)Sr) and elemental tracers (Fe, Sm) were used to establish diffusion profiles of the cations in bi- and multi-layered thin films. The profiles were analyzed by time of flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Grain and grain bound...

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C19H25N2OS(+)·C4H3O4 (-) [systematic name: (S)-3-(2-meth-oxy-pheno-thia-zin-10-yl)-N,N,2-tri-methyl-propanaminium hydrogen maleate], comprises two (S)-levomepromazine cations and two hydrogen maleate anions. The conformations of the two cations are similar. The major difference relates to the orientation of the meth-oxy substituent at the pheno-thia-zine r...
