A new highly selective iodide electrode incorporating a binuclear manganese(III) complex, bis(salicylaldehyde-aminopropanol)dichloroaceticdimanganese(III) [Mn(III)(2)-BSAPDCA], as a neutral carrier is described. The electrode displays an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence: iodide >> perchlorate > salicylate > thiocyanate > nitrate > bromide > nitrite > chloride > sulfate. The excellent select...

Novel nanowall arrays of hydrous manganese dioxide MnO2 0.5H2O are deposited onto cathodic substrates by the potentiostatic method from a mixed aqueous solution of manganese acetate and sodium sulfate. The deposition is induced by a change of local pH resulting from electrolysis of H2O, and hierarchical mesoporous nanowall arrays are formed as a result of simultaneous precipitation of manganese...

In the title compound, [Mn(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]SO(4)·6H(2)O, the complex cations assemble into positively charged sheets parallel to (010) via inter-molecular π-π stacking inter-actions with a mean interplanar distance of 3.410 (6) along [100] and 3.465 (5) Å along [001]. The sulfate anions and uncoordinated water mol-ecules are inter-connected between these layers by hydrogen bonds, fo...

The microbial ecology of anaerobic carbon oxidation processes was investigated in Black Sea shelf sediments from mid-shelf with well-oxygenated bottom water to the oxic-anoxic chemocline at the shelf-break. At all stations, organic carbon (C(org)) oxidation rates were rapidly attenuated with depth in anoxically incubated sediment. Dissimilatory Mn reduction was the most important terminal elect...

New sulfate and hydrogen sulfate complexes of metalloporphyrins have been synthesized and crystallographically characterized and their photochemistry examined. Irradiation of [Mn(TPP)],(SO,) and Mn(TPP)(OS03H) (where TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinate(2-)) produces Mn"(TPP) quantitatively, with quantum yields of 7.1 X IO4 and 9.8 X IO-', respectively. In contrast to other manganese oxoani...

The study was carried out for two consecutive years (2005-06 to 2006-07) to evaluate the wheat response to five different levels (0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 kg ha) of manganese (Mn) alongwith 150-100-60 kg NPK ha application. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three repeats under irrigated conditions at Agriculture Research Farm Karor, District Layyah. NPK was a...
