The title compounds, Cu（L1）（C4H8NHO） and Ni（L2）（C4H8NHO） （H2L1 = 5-bromosalicylaldehyde-p-nitrobenzoylhydrazone, H2L2 = 5-bromosalicylaldehyde-p-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone）, have been obtained and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The ligands form a satisfactory N2O2 square plane around the metal centers in two compounds. Different patterns of hydrogen bonds are observed owing to the presence of different substituents on aromatic ring of the acylhydrazone Schiff bases. In complex 1, square-planar copper（Ⅱ） complexes are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds leading to zigzag infinite chains. In complex 2, the metal complexes are linked via hydrogen bonds to form corrugated sheets in a staggered fashion; 3D channels along the b axis are constructed through other non-covalent interactions between the neighboring layers.

Effect of calcinated oyster shell powder on growth, yield, spawn run, and primordial formation of king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii)

This study was conducted to evaluate the calcium (Ca) absorption efficacy of king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) grown on sawdust medium supplemented with Ca-sources, including oyster shell powder, and to determine the efficacy of oyster shell powder as a calcium supplement on growth, yield, spawn run and primordial formation of P. eryngii. Optimum calcination of oyster shell powder was achieved at the temperature of 620.56 °C. A 1% supplementation of oyster shell powder in sawdust medium did not suppress the mycelial growth of P. eryngii. Also the supplementation of 2% calcinated oyster shell powder to sawdust medium potentially increased the calcium content up to a level of 315.7 ± 15.7 mg/100 g in the fruiting body of P. eryngii, without extension of duration of spawn run and the retardation of the days to primordial formation. These results suggest that the shellfish by-products, including oyster shell powder, can be utilized to develop calcium enriched king oyster mushrooms.

Study of Biomass Calcite as Fine Aggregate of Concrete

The possibility of using crushed oyster shell to partly replace the fine aggregate of concrete was evaluated. The compressive strength and slump of concrete mixture with different amount of crushed oyster shell were tested and thus the appropriate dosage was determined. Additionally, the compatibility with super plasticizer and the stability in Na2SO4 solution were also discussed to prove the feasibility of oyster shell as fine aggregate of concrete. The microstructure of concrete was observed with XRD and SEM techniques. This research provides the basis for the application of waste biomass calcite.

Electrochemical characterization of a bioceramic material: The shell of the Eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica

The shell of the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is composed of multiple incongruent mineralized layers. This bioceramic composite material was investigated to determine the effects of shell thickness, orientation and layer composition on its electrochemical behavior using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy. SEM-EDS analysis of the oyster shell revealed that the multilayered biocomposite material is composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)). EIS measurements in 3.5wt.% NaCl indicated that the impedance of the whole oyster shell in the low frequency region exhibited high impedance values which exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing immersion time. In terms of overall shell thickness, limiting currents measured by potentiodynamic techniques through the shell were observed to increase when the outer layers of the shell were sequentially removed by grinding, thus decreasing the shell thickness. These limiting current values remained relatively constant when the inner layers of the shell were removed. The impedance values of the oyster shell material as measured by EIS were shown to decrease with decreasing shell thickness. These findings suggest that the prismatic (outermost) shell layer in combination with the soluble organic matrix between all shell layers may influence the ionic conductivity through the oyster shell.     

Polyoxometalate-supported transition metal complexes and their charge complementarity: synthesis and characterization of [M(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(Phen)(H2O)2]2][M(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(Phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5H2O (M = Al(+, Cr3+)

Two Anderson-type heteropolyanion-supported copper phenanthroline complexes, [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2]1+ (1c) and [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2]1- (1a) complement their charges in one of the title compounds [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2][Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5H2O [1c][1a].5 H2O 1. Similar charge complementarity exists in the chromium analogue, [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2][Cr(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5 H2O [2c][2a].5 H2O 2. The chloride coordination to copper centers of 1a and 2a makes the charge difference. In both compounds, the geometries around copper centers are distorted square pyramidal and those around aluminum/chromium centers are distorted octahedral. Three lattice waters, from the formation of intermolecular O-H.....O hydrogen bonds, have been shown to self-assemble into an "acyclic water trimer" in the crystals of both 1 and 2. The title compounds have been synthesized in a simple one pot aqueous wet-synthesis consisting of aluminum/chromium chloride, sodium molybdate, copper nitrate, phenanthroline, and hydrochloric acid, and characterized by elemental analyses, EDAX, IR, diffuse reflectance, EPR, TGA, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group P. Crystal data for 1: a = 10.7618(6), b = 15.0238(8), c = 15.6648(8) angstroms, alpha = 65.4570(10), beta = 83.4420(10), gamma = 71.3230(10), V = 2182.1(2) angstroms3. Crystal data for 2: a = 10.8867(5), b = 15.2504(7), c = 15.7022(7) angstroms, alpha = 64.9850(10), beta = 83.0430(10), gamma = 71.1570(10), V = 2235.47(18) angstroms3. In the electronic reflectance spectra, compounds 1 and 2 exhibit a broad d-d band at approximately 700 nm, which is a considerable shift with respect to the value of 650-660 nm for a square-pyramidal [Cu(phen)2L] complex, indicating the coordination of [M(OH)6Mo6O18]3- POM anions (as a ligand) to the monophenanthroline copper complexes to form POM-supported copper complexes 1c, 1a, 2c, and 2a. The ESR spectrum of compound 1 shows a typical axial signal for a Cu2+ (d9) system, and that of compound 2, containing both chromium(III) and copper(II) ions, may reveal a zero-field-splitting of the central Cr3+ ion of the Anderson anion, [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18]3-, with an intense peak for the Cu2+ ion.

Synthesis and Structure of [Cu2（μ—NO2）（aepy）4]（ClO4）3 （aepy=2—（2—Aminoethyl）pyridine）

1 INTRODUCTION There has been great and considerable interest in the study of copper nitrite complexes because they are relevant to the study of copper-containing enzymes involved in the denitrification process[1]; in particular, copper-nitrite complexes are potentially relevant to the nitrite reductases[2] (the enzyme from Achromobacter Cycloclastes) which convert NO2－ to NO and/or N2O. Many attempts have been made to synthesize a variety of copper-nitrite complexes, in which the n…
