A novel inorganic-organic hybrid based on a Wells–Dawson polyanion containing two types of organic fragments

A new inorganic-organic hybrid, [Zn(phen)₂(ppy)][{Zn(phen)₂}{Zn(phen)₂(H₂O)}{P₂W₁₈O₆₂}]?·?2H₂O (phen?=?1,10′-phenanthroline, ppy?=?2-(5-phenylpyridin-2-yl)pyridine) (1), by using pre-prepared Wells–Dawson salt α-K₆P₂W₁₈O₆₂?·?15H₂O as precursor, has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Compound 1 was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, IR spectrum and cyclic voltammetry. Yellow crystals crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2 (1)/c with a?=?16.2450(11)?Å, b?=?17.0918(11)?Å, c?=?43.640(3)?Å, β?=?92.0060(10)°, V?=?12109.4(14)?ų, Z?=?4. The title compound represents a novel zero-dimensional structure based on bisupporting Wells–Dawson POM: one terminal oxygen atom located in the “belt” site and another located in the “cap” site of the same hemisphere of the polyanion are coordinated by Zn²⁺ cations. Compound 1 also contains the isolated secondary metal complex [Zn(phen)₂(ppy)]²⁺ with two different organic ligands phen and ppy.     

A 3-D inorganic–organic hybrid based on saturated Wells–Dawson polyoxoanion and K+, linked by an Ag–Ag bond

A 3-D complex K₂[Ag₂(biim)₂]₂P₂W₁₈O₆₂ (biim?=?biimidazole) (1) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by IR, thermogravimetric, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis reveals that 1 exhibits a 1-D wavelike chain constructed from µ₃-bridging oxygen atoms of [P₂W₁₈O₆₂]^6? and [Ag₂(biim)₂]²⁺. The K⁺ link to six oxygen atoms of three P₂W₁₈ clusters and 12 equatorial terminal oxygen atoms of P₂W₁₈ clusters link to six K⁺, resulting in a 3-D framework with a relatively short Ag–Ag bond [2.836?Å]. The electrochemical behavior of 1 modified carbon paste electrode (1-CPE) has been studied. The results indicate that 1-CPE has remarkable stability.     

A new 3D polyoxometalate based on saturated Wells–Dawson polyanions and calcium cations

A new polyoxometalate based on saturated Wells-Dawson polyanions and calcium cations, H₂[Ca₂(P₂W₁₈O₆₂)(H₂O)₅]?·?7.5H₂O (1), has been synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and IR. Compound 1 is a new example of 3D framework based on Wells-Dawson anions that act as chelate ligands to coordinate with calcium cations. Cyclic voltammetry reveals that the pH of the supporting electrolytic solution has a marked effect on the electrochemical behavior.     

Helicobacter pylori determination in non-municipal drinking water and epidemiological findings

Background.?Studies conducted in Europe as well as in North and South America have tried to link Helicobacter pylori colonization with the drinking water supply, especially since H. pylori is known to survive quite well in water.

Methods.?In 2000, a cohort of 1884 grade-two children from two rural counties surrounding the city of Leipzig, Germany (77.4% of the 1991/1992 birth cohort) were tested for H. pylori colonization using the [¹³C]urea breath test. A parent-completed questionnaire elicited details on living conditions and lifestyle habits including questions on the children's drinking water from sources other than public water supplies, swimming in natural waters, etc.

In a second independent study, samples of well water, taken from 157 private wells still used in the two counties, were being tested for the presence of H. pylori, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to determine relevant target DNA fragments of H. pylori.

Results.?In county I, 5.7% of the children and in county II 6.6% tested H. pylori-positive. Cluster analyses of the questionnaire data in both counties pointed to ‘drinking water from other than municipal sources’, as the closest H. pylori-associated cluster variable. The cluster estimations were supported by odds ratio (OR) calculations with an OR?=?16.4 (95% confidence interval (CI) 3.1,…,88.5) for county I and OR?=?4.0 (95% CI 1.3,…,12.4) for county II.

The PCR analyses showed H. pylori DNA fragments in 10.8% of the wells in county I and 9.2% in county II. The detection limit was set at 10 DNA copies corresponding to 125?bacteria/L, the average infestation of these wells was 931?bacteria/L.

Conclusion.?Despite the fact that the microbiological and epidemiological data do not correspond except that both studies were conducted in the same geographical areas, the independent findings of H. pylori in well water in the same general areas where children do seem to drink water other than from the public water supply suggests that water may be an important source of H. pylori infection.     

Robustness of Tail Index Estimation

Abstract

The implementation of the Hill estimator, which estimates the heaviness of the tail of a distribution, requires a choice of the number of extreme observations in the tails, r from a sample of size n where 2 ≤ r + 1 ≤ n. This article is concerned with a robust procedure of choosing an optimal r. Thus, an estimation procedure, δ _s , based on the idea of spacing statistics, H^(r) is developed. The proposed decision rule for choosing r under the squared error loss is found to be a simple function of the sample size. The proposed rule is then illustrated across a wide range of data, including insurance claims, currency exchange rate returns, and city size.
