The reduction of ethanolic solutions of niobium pentachloride with zinc, followed by treatment with aqueous acids serves as a versatile entry into the aqueous solution chemistry of niobium. From the zinc-reduced solution, the major intermediate, Nb₄(μ₂-O)₂(μ₂-OC₂H₅)₄Cl₄(OC₂H₅)₄(HOC₂H₅)₄, was isolated and the crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pccn, with Z=4, a=21.0105(9), b=11.0387(5), c=19.1389(8), V=4438.9(3) ų, M_r=1090.19,R₁=0.0327 and wR₂=0.0876. The structure revealed a centrosymmetric tetrameric Nb(IV) complex, consisting of a pair of edge-sharing bi-octahedral Nb₂(μ₂-OC₂H₅)₄Cl₂(OC₂H₅)₂(HOC₂H₅)₂ units that are joined by two axial oxo ligands. The Nb-Nb distance of 2.7458(3) Å is consistent with a single metal-metal bond.

环境条件决定着不同光合类型植物的地理分布范围和区域 ,一般来说 ,C4 植物分布于高温、强光的环境而 C3植物分布于阴凉、湿润的环境 ,且 C4 比 C3植物光合速率高。但环境条件影响着不同光合类型植物的光合潜能的发挥 ,C4 植物在高温、强光、干旱条件下所表现出来的优势在其它环境条件下未必就显现出来。环境条件甚至可以引起 C3、C4 光合途径间的相互转化 ,这使得目前几种鉴别植物光合类型的方法出现不一致的结果。因此 ,在判断植物的光合类型时 ,要注意多种手段的综合利用 ,同时注意植物所处环境条件的影响。

The bimetallic cyano-bridged [(η⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)₂Ru(μ-CN)Ru(PPh₃)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)][PF₆] (1) was prepared by reaction of [(η⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)₂RuCl] with N,N′-bis(cyanomethyl)ethylenediamine.

Ethanol catalyzed synthesis of titanocene aryl carboxylate complexes and crystal structure of (η-C5H5)2Ti(2-OH-5-S-O2CC6H3)2

A method for the synthesis of titanocene (IV) aryl carboxylate complexes is presented in this paper. It is based on the fact that alcohol can catalyze the reaction between Cp₂TiCl₂ and aryl carboxylate ligands in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The effects of the catalyst on the reaction system were studied and the possible reaction mechanism was proposed. This method was used to prepare a series of titanocene (IV) aryl carboxylate complexes and a macrocyclic titanocene (5,5′-dithiodisalicylato titanocene), whose structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Influence of CH3 group of μ-N-C-S ligand on the properties of [Fe2(C4H5N2S)2(NO)4] complex

Bi-nuclear neutral sulfur-nitrosyl iron complex [Fe₂(SR)₂(NO)₄] (I) has been obtained by replacement of thiosulfate ligands in dianion [Fe₂(S₂O₃)₂(NO)₄]²⁻ by 1-methyl-imidazole-2-yl. From X-ray analysis data, the complex has centrosymmetrical dimeric structure, with the iron atoms being linked via μ-N-C-S bridge. From Mossbauer spectroscopy, isomeric shift δ_Fe is 0.180(1) mm/s and quadrupole splitting ΔE_Q is 0.928(2) mm/s at T = 290 K. By comparative studying the mass-spectra in the gaseous phase of solid samples decomposition and kinetics of NO release in 1% aqueous solutions of dimethylsulfoxide, using of the ligand with CH₃ substituent in position 1 of imidazole-2-thiol was shown to yield a more stable donor of nitrogen monoxide than earlier obtained analog with imidazole-2-thiol, [Fe₂(C₃H₃N₂S)₂(NO)₄].

锌指蛋白是一类具有手指型结构的蛋白质,其中一些锌指蛋白是转录因子,对真核生物的生长发育及非生物逆境胁迫的耐受能力都有着重要作用。文章从大豆(Glycine max(L.)Merr.)中克隆了一个新的C2H2型锌指蛋白基因SCTF-1(GenBank登录号:JQ692081),该基因包含一个699 bp的开放阅读框,编码233个氨基酸,无内含子,有两个典型的C2H2型锌指结构。锌指结构中有植物锌指蛋白特有的保守氨基酸序列QALGGH。经软件预测分析,其等电点pI=8.33,分子量24.9 kDa。农杆菌介导的洋葱表皮细胞GFP瞬时表达实验结果表明,SCTF-1蛋白能够定位到细胞核中。通过RT-PCR检测发现该基因在大豆叶和花中的表达量较高,在茎和根的表达量相对较低。在对大豆幼苗的低温胁迫中,SCTF-1基因的表达量明显增加。将SCTF-1基因转入烟草(Nicotiana tabacum L.)中,发现SCTF-1基因的过量表达能够明显提高转基因烟草的耐冷能力。     

Adduct formation of [(η-C7H7)Zr(η-C5H5)] with phosphines and N-heterocyclic carbenes: An experimental and theoretical study

The reaction of [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Zr(η⁵-C₅H₅)] with two Lewis bases, tetramethylimidazolin-2-ylidene and PMe₃, is reported and their stability probed via spectroscopic and theoretical methods. The strongly σ-basic N-heterocyclic carbene forms a stable adduct which has been structurally characterised, whilst the PMe₃ ligand coordinates weakly to the metal centre. Variable temperature ³¹P NMR spectroscopy has been used to determine the activation energy for this process (ΔG^‡ = 40.5 ± 1.9 kJ mol⁻¹). DFT calculations have been performed on both complexes and the structures discussed. In addition, the enthalpies for the formation of these compounds have been calculated [ΔH⁰(Zr-IMe) = −56.3 kJ mol⁻¹; ΔH⁰(Zr-PMe₃) = −2.3 kJ mol⁻¹] and show that the N-heterocyclic carbene forms a thermodynamically much more stable adduct than that with PMe₃.
