Metagenomic dynamics in Olea europaea after root damage and Verticillium dahliae infection
2019
AbstractThe olive tree is of particular economic interest in the Mediterranean basin. Researchers have conducted several studies on one of the most devastating disorders affecting this tree, the Verticillium wilt of olive, which causes significant economic damage in numerous areas of this crop. We have analyzed the temporal metagenomic samples of a transcriptomic study in Olea europaea roots and leaves after root-damage and after a root Verticillium dahliae infection (Jimenez-Ruiz et al. 2017). Our results indicate that this infection, although led by Verticillium, is driven not by a single species but by a polymicrobial community, including their natural endophytes, which acts as a consort…
Ronneburgite, K2MnV4O12, a new mineral from Ronneburg, Thuringia, Germany: Description and crystal structure
2001
Ronneburgite is a new chain vanadate mineral from Ronneburg, Thuringia, Germany. It occurs as reddish-brown crystals of equant, flattened, or short prismatic habit, up to 0.5 mm in length. The crystals have an adamantine luster and are translucent. Ronneburgite is biaxial negative with refractive indices n α = 1.925(5), n β = 1.960(10), n γ = 1.988(4), and 2 V x = 82°. Electron microprobe analysis (K 2 O = 16.93, MnO = 12.44, MgO = 0.62, V 2 O 5 = 68.54; total = 98.53 wt%) gives the empirical formula K 1.91 Mn 0.93 Mg 0.08 V 4.00 O 11.96 , which simplifies to K 2 MnV 4 O 12 . Ronneburgite is mono-clinic, space group P 2 1 / n , with a = 8.183(3), b = 9.247(3), c = 8.651(2) A, and β = 109.74…
Crystal structure of SrMn2(Si2O7)(OH)2 H2O, a new mineral of the lawsonite type
1992
Crystal with the composition SrMn 2 [Si 2 O 7 ](OH) 2 .H 2 O were found in a sugilite, serandite-pectolite rich sample from the Wessels Mine, Kalahari, South Africa. The crystal structure of the nex compound with space group Cmcm, a = 6.255(1), b = 9.034(2), c = 13.397(2) A, Z = 4 was determined from X-ray single-crystal data (R = 0.048). The structure is of the lawsonite type where Al is completely replaced by Mn 3+ and Ca by Sr. [Mn 3+ O 6 ] octahedra forming edge-sharing chains parallel to a exhibit a Jahn-Teller distortion with four short and two long Mn 3+ -O distances. Sr is in eight-fold coordination and H 2 O is disordered on a split position. Together with orientite, macfallite, ru…
Aminoguanidinium(2+) aminoguanidinium(1+) hexachloroantimonate(III) at 295 and 92 K
2001
The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound, (CH(7)N(4))(CH(8)N(4))[SbCl(6)], has been determined at 295 and 92 K. It is composed of isolated [SbCl(6)](3-) octahedra and aminoguanidinium mono- and dications. One of four of the crystallographically inequivalent aminoguanidinium cations is disordered at both temperatures. Two crystallographically inequivalent [SbCl(6)](3-) octahedra were found to possess three significantly longer Sb-Cl bonds than three other octahedra. The shorter bonds are in the range 2.456 (2)-2.577 (2) A, whereas the longer ones are between 2.705 (2) and 2.931 (2) A. Each short Sb-Cl bond is located trans to a long bond. It is argued that this deformation i…
Time-dependent alignment of molecules trapped in octahedral crystal fields.
2006
The hindered rotational states of molecules confined in crystal fields of octahedral symmetry, and their time-dependent alignment obtained by pulsed nonresonant laser fields, are studied computationally. The control over the molecular axis direction is discussed based on the evolution of the rotational wave packet generated in the cubic crystal-field potential. The alignment degree obtained in a cooperative case, where the alignment field is applied in a favorable crystal-field direction, or in a competitive direction, where the crystal field has a saddle point, is presented. The investigation is divided into two time regimes where the pulse duration is either ultrashort, leading to nonadia…
Crystal Fields in Pr-Hydrides
1977
Inelastic neutron scattering was used to determine the crystal field splittings of PrD2 and PrD2.5. For the PrD2 crystal field at the Pr-site is cubic and can be explained by a negative charge of the hydrogen. The splitting observed for PrD2.5 can be described assuming a well defined short range order caused by a mer-configuration of the half filled octahedral hydrogen sites leading to an orthorhombic crystal field. The structure and the paramagnetic susceptibility of the Pr-hydrides are discussed on this basis.
Complexation behaviour of hexadentate ligands possessing N2O4and N2O2S2cores: differential reactivity towards Co(ii), Ni(ii) and Zn(ii) salts and str…
2004
Reactions of divalent metal salts of Co, Ni and Zn with 1,2-di(salicylaldimino-o-phenylthio) ethane (H2L1) and 1,2-di(naphthaldimino-o-phenylthio) ethane (H2L2), having N2O2S2 cores, and 1,2-di(O-salicylaldimino-o-hydroxyphenyl) ethane (H2L3), having a N2O4 core, have been explored. Out of the three ligands and the nine products obtained from the corresponding reactions, two ligands and seven products were crystallographically characterized. However, all the ligands and the products were characterized by analytical and spectral methods. Reaction of H2L1 and H2L2 with Co(II) salts results in oxidative cleavage of the C-S bond to produce a Co(III) product bound to two dissimilar tridentate li…
Structure and Magnetic Properties of the Ferromagnetic Cu3Cl126- Trimer in [(NH3C2H4)3NH]2Cu3Cl14
2004
The crystal structure consists of a strongly hydrogen bonded network of tris(N-ethylammonium)ammonium cations, Cu3Cl12(6)- trimeric species, and Cl- anions. The Cu3Cl12(6)- trimers are formed by two distorted tetrahedral CuCl4(2)- anions linked to a central square planar CuCl4(2)- anion via semicoordinate Cu-Cl...Cu mu1 bridges. The central copper ion shows only small deviations from ideal D4h symmetry, while the terminal copper ions show a mild distortion from D2d symmetry with an average trans Cl-Cu-Cl angle of 136.0 degrees. The semicoordinate linkages provide a ferromagnetic exchange pathway between the copper ions with J/k = 6.91(3) K. Short Cl...Cl contacts (3.67-3.90 angstoms) lead t…
Stoichiometry of LiNiO2 Studied by Mössbauer Spectroscopy
2002
From the 61Ni and 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy data follows the cationic site assignment in Li1−x Ni1+x O2. Our data explain the ferromagnetic properties of this material because of the appearance of Ni2+ (S = 1) among Ni3+ (S = 1/2) in Ni3+O2 hexagonal planes. We have no evidence for the ferromagnetic interaction between the NiO2 layers through the excess Ni2+ ions substituting the Li+ ions. The presence of Ni2+ found in the Ni3+O2 planes explains the absence of the Jahn-Teller distortions probably because of the electronic transfer between the Ni3+ and Ni2+ ions.
What Is the Limit of Atom Encapsulation for Icosahedral Carboranes?
2015
The stability of endohedral carboranes X@{1,n-C2B10H12} (X = Li(+), Be(2+); n = 2, 7, 12) and X@{CB11H12(-)} (X = Li(+), Be(2+)) is studied using electronic structure calculations with the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) model. Our calculations suggest that all endohedral compounds are local energy minima; for the exohedral complexes X···cage, the global energy minimum always corresponds to the X atom above a triangular face of the icosahedron. In the latter the X atom is furthest apart from the carbon atoms of the cage. As opposite to exohedral {Be(2+)···cage} complexes, no global energy minima were found for exohedral complexes {Li(+)···cage} whereby a carbon atom is present in the triangular face of …
