Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structures of two novel high-nuclear nickel-substituted dimeric polyoxometalates

Two novel high-nuclear Ni-substituted polyoxometalates Na9K[Ni7(OH)4(H2O)(CO3)2(HCO3)(A-alpha-SiW9O34)(beta-SiW10O37)].5H3O.18H2O (1) and K6Na4[{Ni6(H2O)4(mu2-H2O)4(mu3-OH)2}(x-SiW9O34)2].17.5H2O (2) have been obtained by reaction of K(8)[gamma-SiW10O36] with NiCl2.2H2O in basic conditions. Compounds 1 and 2 all represent the first polyoxometalates substituted by seven and six Ni centers, respectively. Also, compound 1 exhibits a novel asymmetric dimeric structure, composed of [A-alpha-SiW9O34]10- and [beta-SiW10O37]10- units linked by a Ni7 cluster and three carbonates, which exhibit tri- and bidentate coordination modes in 1.     

The synthesis of pillared nickel-substituted saponite and its hydroisomerization activity

Nickel-substituted saponite clays (NiS) were synthesized. The pillared clays notedPNiS were prepared from the NiS intercalated with large inorganic cations such as [Al_(13)O_4(OH)_(24).(H_2O)_(12)]~(7+). It is found that the pillar density is correlative with aluminium content in the tetra-hedral sheet of NiS. The results from TPR indicate that the palladium loaded on samples promotesthe reduction of the nickel ion in the octahedral sheet. The pillared clays impregnated with Pd~(2+)noted PdPNiS show excellent hydroisomerization property which is much better than that of nickelsubstituted mica-montmorillonite pillared with silicon oxide oligomer noted PdPSMM. The hexaneconversion increases with the content of aluminium ion in the tetrahedral sheet, whereas the changeof the selectivity of isomerization is not obvious.     

Synthesis,characterization and antiviral activity of nickel-substituted rare earth molybdosilicic heteropoly blues

A series of novel heteropoly blues, Ln₂H₂[SiMo₁₁Ni(H₂O)O₃₉] · nH₂O (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, or Gd), had been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, i.r., u.v., c.v., t.g.–d.t.a., XPS, ²⁹Si-n.m.r., electrochemistry and magnetic susceptibility. Compared with non-reduced heteropolyoxometallates, the heteropoly blue anion in Ln₂H₂[SiMo₁₁Ni(H₂O)O₃₉] · nH₂O still retains the -Keggin structure but with a slight distortion, with Ni and Mo atoms distributed statistically in the crystal. The antiviral activities of these complexes have been studied using tomato mosaic virus. Ln₂H₂[SiMo₁₁Ni(H₂O)O₃₉] · nH₂O show excellent antivirus activities, and the cure rate reaches to 80–90%.     

Characterization and catalytic properties of nickel-substituted hexagonal mesoporous silica prepared by microwave-hydrothermal method

The liquid phase of acetylation of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene with acetic anhydride has been investigated over a series of acid nickel-mesoporous materials (Ni-MCM-41) synthesized by the microwave irradiation method with different Si/Ni ratios (Si/Ni = 80, 50, 10) and characterized by several spectroscopic techniques such as: N₂ physical adsorption, ICP, XRD, TEM, FT-IR, and a temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of pyridine. In fact, the catalyst Ni-MCM-41 (10) showed better performance in the acid-catalyzed acetylation of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene employing acetic anhydride as an acylating agent. Furthermore, the kinetics of the acetylation of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene over these catalysts have also been investigated.

A nickel-substituted form of nanodiamonds and its catalytic activity in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide

Adsorption of nickel (II) ions with nanodiamonds obtained by the detonation synthesis was studied. A nickel-substituted form of nanodiamonds was obtained. The catalytic activity exhibited by nickel ions (II) in the form of the surface complexes with nanodiamond functional groups in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was determined.     

Controlling of physicochemical properties of nickel-substituted MCM-41 by adjustment of the synthesis solution pH and tetramethylammonium silicate concentration

The effect of initial synthesis solution pH and tetramethylammonium silicate concentration in the synthesis solution on the physical and chemical properties of MCM-41 was systematically investigated using N(2) physisorption, X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed reduction, in situ Fourier transform IR, UV-vis, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. pH and tetramethylammonium (TMA) fraction affect the porosity of MCM-41 and the reducibility of incorporated Ni cations; higher pH and TMA concentration produced more porosity with higher stability against reduction, which is attributed to more metal ions locating in the interior of the silica walls. The control of the pore diameter of mesoporous MCM-41 at the sub-nanometer scale may be accomplished by adjusting the pH and TMA fraction. pH may be used to control the surface free silanol group density and nickel reduction degree as well, and this is useful in the design of a specific catalyst for particular reactions, such as CO methanation, which requires highly dispersed, stable metallic clusters with controllable size.     

Preparation and characterization of nanosize nickel-substituted cobalt ferrites (Co1−xNixFe2O4)

Nanosize nickel-substituted cobalt ferrites were prepared using aerosol route and characterized by TEM, XRD, magnetic and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The particle size of as obtained samples was found to be ∼10 nm which increases upto ∼80 nm on annealing at 1200 °C. The unit cell parameter ‘a’ decreases linearly with the nickel concentration due to smaller ionic radius of nickel. The saturation magnetization for all the samples after annealing at 1200 °C lies in the range 47.6-84.5 emu/g. Room temperature Mössbauer spectra of as obtained samples exhibit a broad doublet, suggesting super paramagnetic nature of the sample. The broad doublet is further resolved into two doublets corresponding to the iron atoms residing at the surface and internal regions of the particle. The samples annealed at 1200 °C showed broad sextet, which is resolved into two sextets, corresponding to tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated Fe cations. Cation distribution calculated using XRD and Mössbauer data indicates a decrease in Fe³⁺(oct.)/Fe³⁺(tet.) ratio with increasing nickel concentration.

The ubiquitin system,disease, and drug discovery

Abstract

The ubiquitin system of protein modification has emerged as a crucial mechanism involved in the regulation of a wide array of cellular processes. As our knowledge of the pathways in this system has grown, so have the ties between the protein ubiquitin and human disease. The power of the ubiquitin system for therapeutic benefit blossomed with the approval of the proteasome inhibitor Velcade in 2003 by the FDA. Current drug discovery activities in the ubiquitin system seek to (i) expand the development of new proteasome inhibitors with distinct mechanisms of action and improved bioavailability, and (ii) validate new targets. This review summarizes our current understanding of the role of the ubiquitin system in various human diseases ranging from cancer, viral infection and neurodegenerative disorders to muscle wasting, diabetes and inflammation. I provide an introduction to the ubiquitin system, highlight some emerging relationships between the ubiquitin system and disease, and discuss current and future efforts to harness aspects of this potentially powerful system for improving human health.

The sublimation of argon, krypton, and xenon

In this paper, the sublimation pressure of Ar, Kr, and Xe are obtained as functions of temperature from an exactly integrated form of the Clapeyron equation. No fitting to experimental data of the equilibrium pressure has been necessary. The deviation plots of the sublimation pressure show that the results are satisfactory. The derived enthalpy of sublimation of the three rare gases from T = 0 K up to their respective triple point temperatures are asymmetric, distorted parabolas showing maxima for . The , which is a measure of the cohesion energy of the solid crystals, is easily calculated. A general equation has been obtained for as a function of temperature which also gives the enthalpies of sublimation of neon and radon. The (s + ? + g) triple point coordinates of Rn are reassessed.
