Reaction of bis-(pyridin-3-ylmeth-yl)sulfane (L) with cobalt(II) chloride in methanol led to the formation of the title coordination polymer, [CoCl2(C12H12N2S)(CH3OH)2] n , in which the CoII cation lies on a crystallographic inversion centre and the S atom of the L ligand lies on a twofold rotation axis. Each CoII ion is coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from two bridging L ligands, two O ato...

The evolution of fungus-growing termites is supposed to have started in the African rain forests with multiple invasions of semi-arid habitats as well as multiple invasions of the Oriental region. We used sequences of the mitochondrial COII gene and Bayesian dating to investigate the time frame of the evolution of Macrotermes, an important genus of fungus-growing termites. We found that the gen...

Cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (COII), encoded by the mitochondrial genome, exhibits one of the most heterogeneous rates of amino acid replacement among placental mammals. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that cytochrome c oxidase has undergone a structural change in higher primates which has altered its physical interaction with cytochrome c. We collected a large data set of COII sequences ...

The design of advanced metal–organic framework (MOF) catalysts for solar-driven conversion CO2 into syngas (CO/H2 mixture) is beneficial. Herein, the a joint MOF heterostructure consisting orderly assembled CoII- and CoIII-based Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) driven by their spontaneous lattice match in growth process reported. As-prepared H/CoIII[email protected]II-PBA cage mesocrystal exhibits ...

b a ckground: anoph eles culicifacies, a major malarial vector has been recognized as a complex of five sibling species, a, b, c, d and e. these sibling species exhibit varied vectorial capacity, host specificity and susceptibility to malarial parasites/ insecticides. in this study, a pcr assay developed earlier for distinguishing the five individual species was validated on samples of a n . cu...

The structure of the title compound, di-mu3-acetato-1kappa2O,O':2kappaO';2kappaO:3kappa2O,O'-di-mu2-acetato-1kappaO:2kappaO';2kappaO:3kappaO'-octapyridyl-1kappa3N,2kappa2N,3kappa3N-tricobalt(II) bis(hexafluorophosphate), [Co3(C2H3O2)4(C5H5N)8](PF6)2, consists of divalent multinuclear cations in which three CoII ions are bridged by four mu2-acetate groups. The CoII ions are arranged in an approx...

BACKGROUND Anopheles culicifacies, a major malarial vector has been recognized as a complex of five sibling species, A, B, C, D and E. These sibling species exhibit varied vectorial capacity, host specificity and susceptibility to malarial parasites/ insecticides. In this study, a PCR assay developed earlier for distinguishing the five individual species was validated on samples of An. culicifa...
