Emission,Emissionslebensdauer und Absorption von [Cr urea6]X3-Einkristallen

Emission and absorption polarization spectra as well as emission lifetimes between room temperature and 5 °K have been measured of [Cr urea₆]X₃ single crystals, where X stands for ClO ₄ ^– , J^–, NO ₃ ^– , Br^–, Cl^–, F^–, and X₃ for JSO ₄ ^3– . The strong temperature dependence of the fluorescence/phosphorescence-ratios, and of the emission lifetimes is discussed. The differences between the spectra as well as the emission lifetimes of the various salts can be attributed to an anion dependent trigonal perturbation.

The Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Multienzyme Complex

The three enzymes pyruvate dehydrogenase, dihydrolipoamide transacetylase, and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase constitute the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of E. coli; in mammals the complex also contains a kinase and a phosphatase. Multienzyme complexes are structural, functional, and regulatory units enabling the organism to operate more economically than with single enzymes. The pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex may stand at the switch-point between energy metabolism and gluconeogenesis.     

A new biomaterial,hen egg shell membrane,to eliminate heavy metal ion from their dilute waste solution

The egg shell membrane (ESM) is an intricate lattice network of stable and water-insoluble fibers with high surface area. ESM accumulates and eliminates various heavy metal ions from dilute aqueous solution with high affinity and in short contact time, depending on pH and characteristics of the individual ion. Under certain conditions, the level of precious ions, Au, Pt, and Pd accumulation approaches 55, 25, and 22% of dry wt of ESM, respectively. Also uranium uptake 30% of that of ESM. Experiments suggested that ESM is promising to use for the purpose of removal/recovery of metals and water pollution control.     

Synthesis,thermal and electrical studies on solvated oxovanadium(IV) complexes with schiff bases derived from aromatic diamines and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde

Summary Solvated oxovanadium(IV) complexes of Schiff bases derived from aromatic diamines and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde have been prepared from ethanolic medium. The elemental analyses reveal that the complexes have the ratio 1:1, 2:2 and 1:2 (ligand:metal) composition which are nonelectrolyte inDMF. The coordination number six (octahedral geometry) is proposed for the complexes prepared. This is based on the results of IR, electronic and EPR spectra. TGA as well as DTA studies and the electrical properties and (I–V) characteristics for the metal complexes were investigated.

Cesium dimethyltetrachloroplatinate,a complex of dimethylplatinum(IV). Synthesis and some reductive elimination reactions involving the monomethylplatinum(II) complex as an intermediate

The reduction of Pt(IV) complexes followed by the oxidative addition of dimethyl sulfate to Pt(II) affords Cs₂PtMe₂Cl₄, a complex of dimethylplatinum(IV). On treatment with such nucleophiles as Cl^–, Br^–, I^–, and PtCl₄ ^2– in aqueous solutions at 368 K this complex undergoes reductive elimination to give MeX and Pt^IIMe as a transient species. The latter is further converted to methane upon protolysis, whereas in the presence of an oxidant (Na₂PtCl₆) it gives rise to the Pt^IVMe species. The kinetics of decomposition of Cs₂PtMe₂Cl₄ in aqueous HCl-KCl systems (2M or 3M in Cl^–; [Pt^IVMe₂][Cl^–]) were studied. The reaction takes place as anS _N 2 attack of X^– on the carbon atom of a methyl group located with thetrans position with respect to the aqua-ligand of the [PtMe₂Cl₃(H₂O)]^– complex.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Thermogravimetric properties of inclusion complexes ofβ-cyclodextrin with benzene,acetylsalicylic acid and methyl salicylate

This paper reports TG analyses of inclusion complexes of-cyclodextrin with benzene, acetylsalicylic acid and methyl salicylate. The data were used for calculation of the compositions of the three body complexes and the apparent kinetic parameters of the thermal decompositions. Water exclusion proceeds as a reaction with ordern=1 and an activation energy about 20 kJ/mol. The expulsion of aromatic guest molecules follows ann=1 order process with the activation energy above 155 kJ/mol, except that for the methyl salicylate complex, which was found to be ca. 64 kJ/mol.     

Charge control in the formation of complexes of phenol with ethylene derivatives containing organoelemental group IVB substituants

The v(OH) frequency shifts of phenol and the v_R resonance components of these shifts in the IR spectra of phenol H-complexes with ethylene derivatives containing various substituents including organosilicon, organogermanium, and organotin groups have been studied. The relationship between v and v_R and the values that characterize the influence of substituents on the effective charges of the double bonded carbon atoms was established; the latter values have been calculated previously usingab initio quantum chemical methods. The effective charges for the compounds with organoelemental substituents have been calculated. It has been elucidated that of the two types of possible interactions, charge controlled and orbital controlled, occurring in the formation of a complex of a hard acid, phenol, with the studied ethylene derivatives, the former is predominant.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The preparation and X-ray structural study of complexes that catalyze isocyanate cyclotrimerization

A 11-complex of trinitrophenol with benzyldimethylamine (1) and a 111-complex, the product of the interaction of benzyldimethylamine, glycidyl phenyl ether, and phenol (2), have been synthesized and characterized by means of X-ray analysis. Complex1 is a precursor for the catalysts of selective isocyanate cyclotrimerization, while complex2 is one of those catalysts. In the crystal structure complex1 forms H-bonded cationic-anionic aggregates with proton transfer from phenol to the N-atom of the tertiary amine. Complex2 crystallizes as a monohydrate (2a) with a strong H-bond between the quaternary ammonium and phenolic components, and exists in crystals in the form of globular H-bonded dimeric hydrates. Possible pathways of dissociation of complex2a are discussed. The data obtained may be used as a basis for further interpretation of the regularities of cyclotrimerization of isocyanates catalyzed by complexes of this type.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Two new mixed metal cluster complexes PtRu₃(CO)₁₀(PPh₃)(₃-S)₂,3 14% yield and PtRu₃(CO)₉(PPh₃)₂(₃-S)₂,4 23% yield were obtained from the reaction of Ru₃(CO)₉(₃-S)₂,1 with Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄) at 0°C. The cluster of4 consists of a spiked triangle of four metal atoms with two triply bridging sulfido ligands. The reaction of Ru₄(CO)₁₁(₄-S)₂,2 with Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄) yielded the expanded mixed-metal cluster complex PtRu₄(CO)₁₂(PPh₃)(₄-S)₂,5 in 12% yield. The structure of the cluster5 can be described as a pentagonal bipyramid of five metal atoms and two sulfido ligands with one metal-metal bond missing. Compounds4 and5 were characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.
