Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and reactivities of linear and butterfly chromium/selenium complexes containing substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands: crystal structures of [{η-MeC5H4Cr(CO)2}2Se] and [{η-EtO2CC5H4Cr(CO)2}2Se2]

The Cr-Cr singly-bonded dimers [{η⁵-RC₅H₄Cr(CO)₃}₂] (1, R=Me; 2, R=CO₂Et) reacted with an equivalent of elemental selenium in THF at room temperature to give the linear Cr₂Se complexes [{η⁵-RC₅H₄Cr(CO)₂}₂Se] (3, R=Me; 4, R=CO₂Et), whereas the linear Cr₂Se complex (5, R=MeCO) reacted with excess NaBH₄, Ph₃PCHPh or 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine under respective conditions to afford the linear Cr₂Se derivatives [{η⁵-RC₅H₄Cr(CO)₂}₂Se] (6, R=MeCH(OH); 7, R=PhCHCMe; 8, R=2,4-(NO₂)₂C₆H₃NHNCMe). Similarly, while the butterfly Cr₂Se₂ complexes [{η⁵-RC₅H₄Cr(CO)₂}₂Se₂] (9, R=Me; 10, R=CO₂Et) could be produced either by reaction of dimers 1 and 2 with an excess amount of elemental selenium, or by reaction of the linear complexes 3 and 4 with an equivalent of elemental selenium, the butterfly Cr₂Se₂ derivatives [{η⁵-RC₅H₄Cr(CO)₂}₂Se₂] (12, R=MeCH(OH); 13, R=PhCHCMe; 14, R=2,4-(NO₂)₂C₆H₃NHNCMe) were yielded by reaction of the butterfly Cr₂Se₂ complex (11, R=MeCO) with an excess quantity of NaBH₄, Ph₃PCHPh and 2,4-dinitrophenylhyazine. Both the linear complexes 3, 4, 6-8 and the butterfly complexes 9, 10, 12-14 are new, which have been fully characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.     

A vanadium(IV) phosphite with a pillared layered structure: hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of (VO)4(4,4'-bpy)2(HPO3)4

A novel vanadium(IV) phosphite, (VO)(4)(4,4'-bpy)(2)(HPO(3))(4), was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with the space group C2/c and cell parameters a = 35.970(3) A, b = 15.9400(13) A, c = 10.7681(7) A, beta = 101.073(4) degrees, and Z = 8 with R(1) = 0.0482. The structure of the compound consists of trigonal bipyramidal [VO(4)N] and pseudopyramidal [HPO(3)] blocks, which are connected by corner-sharing, to form vanadium phosphite layers in the bc plane. These layers are further linked through 4,4'-bpy pillars, generating a 3D framework. Thermogravimetric analysis and magnetic susceptibility data for this compound are given.     

Interaction of Fluorocarbon Containing Hydrophobically Mdified Polyelectrolyte with Nonionic Surfactants

The interaction of fluorocarbon containing hydrophobically modified polyelectrolyte(FMPAANa) with two kinds of nonionic surfactants(hydrogenated and fluorinated)in a semidilute (0.5wt%) aqueous solution had been studied by rheological measurements,Association behavior was found in both systems.The hydrophobic interaction of FMPAANa with fluorinated surfactant(FC171) is much stronger than that with hydrogenated surfactant(NP7.5) at low surfactoant concentrations.The interaction is strengthened by surfactants being added for the density of active junctions increased.Whereas distinct phenomena for FC171 and NP7.5 start to be found as the surfactants added over their respective certain concentration.The interaction of polyelectrolyte with fluorinated surfactant increases dramatical ly while that with hydrogenated surfactant decreases.     

High extraction ability of 1,3-dialkynyl calixarene towards mercury（Ⅱ） ion

The reaction of 1,3-dipropyn-2-yloxycalix[4]arene with mercury(II)acetate could give mercury-containing alkynyl calixarenepolymer.The extraction behavior of 1,3-dipropyn-2-yl-oxycalix[4]arene towards mercury(II)ion was examined.When the moleratio of Hg~(2 )/calixarene was 1:1,the extractive percent can reach to 99.1%,and the extraction capacity was up to 431 mg/g.It couldalso decrease the Hg~(2 )concentration from 5 to 0.85 mg/L,which was only 17%of the national standard of effluent and satisfied thenational standard of drinking water.The extraction process included chemical reaction.     

Spectral studies on the interaction of Amido black 10B with DNA in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide

The interaction of Amido black 10B (AB) with DNA in basic medium was studied in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) based on the measurements of resonance light scattering (RLS), UV–vis, CD spectra, and RLS imaging. The interaction has been proved to give a ternary complex of CTMAB–DNA–AB in Britton–Robinson buffer of pH 11.55, which exhibits strong negative Cotton effect at 233.3 nm and 642.8 nm, and strong RLS signals characterized at 469 nm. Experiments showed that the enhanced RLS intensities (ΔI_RLS) against the mixture of AB and CTMAB are proportional to the concentration of fish sperm DNA (fsDNA) and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA), respectively over the range of 0.03–1.0 and 0.05–1.5 μg ml⁻¹, with the limits of determination (3σ) of 7.3 ng ml⁻¹ for fsDNA and 7.0 ng ml⁻¹ for ctDNA.     

Diterpenoids of Isodon macrophylla

Two new ent‐abietane diterpenoids, macrophynin E ( 1 ) and macrophynin F ( 2 ), and a known related ent‐abietanoid (?)‐lambertic acid ( 3 ), together with four known ent‐kauranoids, were isolated from the roots and aerial parts of Isodon macrophylla, respectively. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic‐data analysis and chemical correlations.     

Biosorption of metal ions with Penicillium chrysogenum

Biosorption of metal ions with Penicillium chrysogenum mycelium is described in this article. Alkaline pretreatment was used to remove proteins and nucleic acids from cells, and this treatment increased the adsorption capacities, for Cr³⁺ from 18.6 mg g⁻¹ to 27.2 mg g⁻¹, for Ni²⁺ from 13.2 mg g⁻¹ to 19.2 mg g⁻¹, for Zn²⁺ from 6.8 mg g⁻¹ to 24.5 mg g⁻¹. The adsorption of metal ions was strongly pH dependent. The mycelium could beused for large-scale removal of Cr³⁺ from tannery wastewater. The results show that this inexpensive mycelium adsorbent has potential in industry because of its high adsorption capacity. The main chelating sites are amino groups (−NH₂) of chitosan in the mycelium. A new model is established, which describes the relation of adsorption of metal ions on pH according to amino group chelating with metal ions and H⁺. The relative errors of simulation for Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Cr³⁺ are 4.66%, 5.45%, 11.55%, and 1.69%, respectively.
