Sediment delivery processes and the spatial distribution of caesium-137 in a small Sicilian basin

1998

The sediment delivery processes occurring in a small Sicilian basin are modelled using the spatially distributed SEDD model recently proposed by Ferro and Minacapilli. The model is applied by using soil data (grain-size distribution, organic matter content, etc.) of 129 samples uniformly distributed over the study area and compiling the available information (topographic map, soil data, etc.) into a Geographical Information System. Finally, the predictive capability of the distributed sediment delivery approach is tested experimentally using the caesium-137 measurement technique. The comparison between calculated sediment yield and the corresponding measured caesium-137 loss is used to vali…

Oxalate‐Based 3D Chiral Magnets: The Series [Z II (bpy) 3 ][ClO 4 ][M II Fe III (ox) 3 ] (Z II = Fe, Ru; M II = Mn, Fe; bpy = 2,2'‐Bipyridine; ox = O…

The synthesis, structure, and physical properties of the oxalate-based molecular magnets with the formula [ZII(bpy)3][ClO4][MIIFeIII(ox)3] (ZII = Fe, Ru; MII = Mn, Fe; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; ox = oxalate dianion) are presented here. All compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the chiral cubic space group P4132, and contain three-dimensional dimetallic networks formed by alternating MII and MIII ions that are connected by oxalate anions. These compounds exhibit strong antiferromagnetic interactions that give rise to magnetic ordering as ferrimagnets or weak ferromagnets, with critical temperatures of up to 20 K, which is twice as high as those found for the isostructural magnets based…

4-[4-(4-Fluoro-phen-yl)-2-methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-1-methyl-pyridinium iodide-4-[3-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-2-methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-isoxa…

2007

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(16)H(16)FN(2)O(2) (+)·I(-), was determined as part of a study of the biological activity of isoxazolone derivatives as p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors. The X-ray crystal structure of 4-[4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-2-methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-1-methyl-pyridinium iodide showed the presence of the regioisomer 4-[3-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-2-methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-isoxazol-4-yl]-1-methyl-pyridinium iodide. The synthesis of the former compound was achieved by reacting 4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-3-(4-pyridyl)isoxazol-5(2H)-one after treatment with Et(3)N in dimethyl-formamide, with iodo-methane. The unexpected formation of the regioi…

Experimental and theoretical investigations of the redox behavior of the heterodichalcogenido ligands [(EP(i)Pr2)(TeP(i)Pr2)N](-) (E = S, Se): cyclic…

2008

The two-electron oxidation of the lithium salts of the heterodichalcogenidoimidodiphosphinate anions [(EP (i)Pr 2)(TeP (i)Pr 2)N] (-) ( 1a, E = S; 1b, E = Se) with iodine yields cyclic cations [(EP (i)Pr 2)(TeP (i)Pr 2)N] (+) as their iodide salts [(SP (i)Pr 2)(TeP (i)Pr 2)N]I ( 2a) and [(SeP (i)Pr 2)(TeP (i)Pr 2)N]I ( 2b). The five-membered rings in 2a and 2b both display an elongated E-Te bond as a consequence of an interaction between tellurium and the iodide anion. One-electron reduction of 2a and 2b with cobaltocene produces the neutral dimers (EP (i)Pr 2NP (i)Pr 2Te-) 2 ( 3a, E = S; 3b, E = Se), which are connected exclusively through a Te-Te bond. Two-electron reduction of 2a and 2b …

Cyclocondensation reaction of 1,2-diamino-4-methylbenzene andp-substituted acetophenones

1993

1,2-Diamino-4-methylbenzene 1 reacts in the presence of sulphuric acid with 4-substituted acetophenones 2a-e yielding 2,4-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-2,8-dimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines 3a-e and as minor component 2,4-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-2,7-dimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines 4a-e. The ratio 3:4 is in the range of 7:3. The structure determination of the regioisomers was performed by NOE measurements.

Laccases: structure, reactions, distribution

2004

Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2, p-diphenol: dioxygen oxidoreductases) are multi-copper proteins that use molecular oxygen to oxidize various aromatic and non-aromatic compounds by a radical-catalyzed reaction mechanism. The enzymes are involved in the pathogenicity, immunity and morphogenesis of organisms and in the metabolic turnover of complex organic substances such as lignin or humic matter. Owing to their high non-specific oxidation capacity, laccases are useful biocatalysts for diverse biotechnological applications. Until recently, laccases were only found in eukaryotes (fungi, higher plants, insects), but now there is strong evidence for their widespread distribution in prokaryotes and the fi…

Hexacyanocobaltate(III) Anions as Precursors of Co(II)−Ni(II) Cyano-Bridged Multidimensional Assemblies:  Hydrothermal Syntheses, Crystal and Powder …

2005

Three novel cyanide-bridged heterobimetallic coordination polymers have been synthesized by hydrothermal routes, in superheated water solutions, by using K3[Co(CN)6], NiCl2.6H2O, and alpha-diimine ligands: [Ni(CN)4Co(phen)] (1; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), [Ni(CN)4Co(2,2'-bipy)] (2; 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyiridine), and [Ni(CN)4Co(2,2'-bipy)2] (3). The isostructural compounds 1 and 2 contain a two-dimensional network with Co(II) centers octahedrally coordinated by one chelating 2,2'-bipy ligand and four cyanide groups of four distinct [Ni(CN)4]2-, through crystallographically equivalent, bridging units. Compound 3 contains one-dimensional zigzag chains in which the Co(II) ion is coordinated by…

Efficient Diffusion-Controlled Ligand Exchange Crystal Growth of Isostructural Inorganic–Organic Halogenidorhodates(III): The Missing Hexaiodidorhoda…

2015

The monohydrates of piperazine-1,4-diium hexabromidorhodate(III) bromide and hexaiodidorhodate(III) iodide were obtained by a diffusion-controlled ligand exchange crystal growth method using a hydrochloric acid solution of rhodium(III) chloride trihydrate and piperazine, dissolved in hydrobromic and hydroiodic acid, respectively, separated by a layer of hydrohalic acid. Both inorganic–organic hybrids are defined by the general formula (C4H12N2)2[RhX6]X·H2O (X = Br, 1 or I, 2). They both crystallize in the orthorhombic Pnma space group, and they are isostructural with an isostructurality index above 95%. The cationic building blocks—piperazine-1,4-diium ions and the inorganic components—slig…

Influence of Cl/Br substitution on the stereochemical peculiarities of copper(I) pi-complexes with the 1-allyl-2-aminopyridinium cation.

2003

By using alternating-current electrochemical synthesis, crystals of the CuI π-complexes bis(1-allyl-2-aminopyridinium) di-μ-chloro-bis[chlorocopper(I)], (C8H11N2)2[Cu2Cl4] or [H2NC5H4NC3H5][CuCl2], and bis(1-allyl-2-aminopyridinium) di-μ-(chloro/bromo)-bis[(chloro/bromo)copper(I)], (C8H11N2)2[Cu2Br2.2Cl1.8] or [H2NC5H4NC3H5][CuBr1.10Cl0.90], have been obtained and structurally investigated. In each of the isostructural (isomorphous) compounds, the distorted tetrahedral Cu environment involves three halide atoms and the C=C bond of the ligand. Both compounds reside on inversion centres, and the dimeric [Cu2 X 4·2H2NC5H4NC3H5] units are bonded into a three-dimensional structure by N—H...X hyd…
