The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Ce(2)(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(12)](C(8)H(4)O(4))(2)}(n), consists of half a Ce(III) cation, a quarter of a coordinated benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate (bdc(2-)) dianion, a quarter of a 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) mol-ecule, three water mol-ecules and a half of an uncoordinated benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate dianion. The Ce(III) ion is located on a twofo...

Polyrotaxane metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs) have attracted considerable attention due to their aesthetic topologies and potential biological applications. In this paper, we synthesized two kinds of hcb networks with nanoscale macrocycles. The hcb networks interlocked with each other in inclined and parallel interlocking modes respectively, giving rise to two new PMOFs, {[Ni(DPDBT)(bdc)]·(H2O)...

A prototypical metal-organic framework (MOF), a 2D periodic porous structure based on the assembly of copper ions and benzene dicarboxylate (bdc) ligands (Cu(bdc)·xH2O), was grown successfully as a thin film on interdigitated electrodes (IDEs). IDEs have been used for achieving planar CMOS-compatible low-cost capacitive sensing structures for the detection of humidity and volatile organic compo...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a polygenic disease with multiple insulin-dependent diabetes (Idd) loci predisposing humans and NOD mice to disease. NOD.B10 Idd9 congenic mice, in which the NOD Idd9 chromosomal region is replaced by the Idd9 from T1D-resistant C57BL/10 mice, are significantly protected from T1D development. However, the genes and pathways conferring T1D development or protection by Id...

[1] We have analyzed thirteen years (1993 to 2005) of HALOE and over two years of EOS MLS observations (September 2004 to December 2006) for QBO and annual cycle trace variations in tropical H2O, HCl, ozone, N2O, CO, HF, and CH4. We use these results to develop the theory explaining both Brewer-Dobson circulation (BDC) and QBO driven fluctuations in tropical trace gases. For H2O, BDC variations...

Herein, a new catalytic nanocomposite [Co(BDC-NH 2 )-Pd NPs] composed of Co(BDC-NH ) MOF has been developed.

In the title compound, {[Mn(6)(C(8)H(4)O(4))(6)(C(4)H(9)NO)(8)]·H(2)O}(n), two of the Mn atoms are six-coordinated by six O atoms from three benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate (bdc) ligands and two trans DMA (dimethyl-acetamide) mol-ecules, whereas two other Mn atoms, located on inversion centers, are both in octa-hedral coordinations by six bdc O atoms. The discrete trinuclear manganese secondary buil...

Bellini Duct Carcinoma (BDC) of the Kidney is a rare type of Renal Cell Carcinoma. It usually presents with features of local advancement or metastasis and rarely diagnosed incidentally. We present a case report of a young man who was found to have BDC of the Right Kidney following presentation with an iliac bone tumour. A 40 year old man presented to the Orthopaedic outpatient clinic on accoun...

Seven new coordination polymers, [Co(3-bpcd)(1,3-BDC)(H(2)O)(3)]·H(2)O (1), [Co(3-bpcd)(1,2-BDC)(H(2)O)]·H(2)O (2), [Co(3)(3-bpcd)(1,2,4-BTC)(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·4H(2)O (3), [Co(3-bpcd)(NPH)]·2H(2)O (4), [Cu(3-bpcd)(1,3-BDC)] (5), [Cu(3-bpcd)(1,2-BDC)] (6), [Cu(3-bpcd)(1,3,5-HBTC)(H(2)O)](2)·2H(2)O (7) (3-bpcd = N,N'-bis(pyridin-3-yl)cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxamide, 1,3-H(2)BDC = 1,3-benzenedicarboxyli...

In the title coordinaltion polymer, [Cd(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(8)H(7)N(3))(2)](n), the Cd(II) atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is six-coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ate (m-BDC) ligands and four N atoms from two chelating 2-(2-pyrid-yl)imidazole mol-ecules, forming a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The m-BDC ligand is located over a twofold rotat...
