Ferromagnetic FeSe2 from a mixed sulphur-selenium complex of iron [Fe{(SePPh2NPPh2S)2N}3] through pyrolysis.

ABSTRACT: Iron (III) thioselenoimidodiphosphinate complex, Fe{(SePPh2NPPh2S)2N}3], was synthesized from the ligand [Ph2P(S)HNP(Se)Ph2], and the complex employed as the combined source of the targeted elements (Fe and Se) to generate orthorhombic FeSe2. This was achieved by thermolysis using a quartz glass tube, under reduced pressure at 500 °C during 1 h 30 min. The crystalline product was revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), while the morphology consisted of polygonal crystallites according to the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies. Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements on the material confirmed its ferromagnetism as observed from the magnetization curve, indicated by the field-cooled and zero field-cooled conditions under a magnetic field of 100 Oe. This ferromagnetic material, FeSe2 finds useful application in producing electrical semiconductors.

Structural characterization of the ?-Nitrido Complex {[Fe(OEP)]2N}

Project description:The molecular structure of the ?-nitrido dimer, ?-nitrido-bis(2,3,7,8,12,13, 17,18-octaethylporphyrinato)iron, is reported. The axial Fe-N distances average to 1.657 (11) Å and the equatorial distances average to 2.005(5) Å. Although not required by symmetry, the two iron centers appear equivalent and are consistent with an assignment of a low-spin state and a formal oxidation state of +3.5. A comparison of this structure with other nitrido-bridged species is given.

The iron-sulphur protein Ind1 is required for effective complex I assembly.

Project description:NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) of the mitochondrial inner membrane is a multi-subunit protein complex containing eight iron-sulphur (Fe-S) clusters. Little is known about the assembly of complex I and its Fe-S clusters. Here, we report the identification of a mitochondrial protein with a nucleotide-binding domain, named Ind1, that is required specifically for the effective assembly of complex I. Deletion of the IND1 open reading frame in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica carrying an internal alternative NADH dehydrogenase resulted in slower growth and strongly decreased complex I activity, whereas the activities of other mitochondrial Fe-S enzymes, including aconitase and succinate dehydrogenase, were not affected. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, in vitro activity tests and electron paramagnetic resonance signals of Fe-S clusters showed that only a minor fraction (approximately 20%) of complex I was assembled in the ind1 deletion mutant. Using in vivo and in vitro approaches, we found that Ind1 can bind a [4Fe-4S] cluster that was readily transferred to an acceptor Fe-S protein. Our data suggest that Ind1 facilitates the assembly of Fe-S cofactors and subunits of complex I.

Mono-, Di- and Tetra-iron Complexes with Selenium or Sulphur Functionalized Vinyliminium Ligands: Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Antiproliferative Activity.

Project description:A series of diiron/tetrairon compounds containing a S- or a Se-function (2a-d, 4a-d, 5a-b, 6), and the monoiron [FeCp(CO){SeC1(NMe2)C2HC3(Me)}] (3) were prepared from the diiron ?-vinyliminium precursors [Fe2Cp2(CO)( ?-CO){ ?-?1: ?3-C3(R')C2HC1N(Me)(R)}]CF3SO3 (R = R' = Me, 1a; R = 2,6-C6H3Me2 = Xyl, R' = Ph, 1b; R = Xyl, R' = CH2OH, 1c), via treatment with S8 or gray selenium. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and structural aspects were further elucidated by DFT calculations. The unprecedented metallacyclic structure of 3 was ascertained by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The air-stable compounds (3, 4a-d, 5a-b, 6) display fair to good stability in aqueous media, and thus were assessed for their cytotoxic activity towards A2780, A2780cisR, and HEK-293 cell lines. Cyclic voltammetry, ROS production and NADH oxidation studies were carried out on selected compounds to give insights into their mode of action.

Copper conductive patterns through spray-pyrolysis of copper-diethanolamine complex solution.

Project description:A simple and low-cost method to fabricate copper conductive patterns at low temperature is critical for printed electronics. Low-temperature spray-pyrolysis of copper-alkanolamine complex solution shows high potential for this application. However, the produced copper patterns exhibit a granular structure consisting of connected fine copper particles. In this work, low-temperature spray-pyrolysis of copper formate-diethanolamine complex solution under N2 flow at a temperature of 200 °C was investigated. The effects of spraying conditions on microstructure and electrical properties of the patterns were examined. Our results revealed that the spraying rate is a critical parameter determining the degree of sintering and electrical resistivity of the patterns. A low spraying rate facilitates sintering, and hence well-sintered copper patterns with the lowest resistivity of 6.12 ??.cm (3.6 times of bulk copper) on a polyimide substrate could be fabricated.

Antitumoural Sulphur and Selenium Heteroaryl Compounds: Thermal Characterization and Stability Evaluation.

Project description:The physicochemical properties of a compound play a crucial role in the cancer development process. In this context, polymorphism can become an important obstacle for the pharmaceutical industry because it frequently leads to the loss of therapeutic effectiveness of some drugs. Stability under manufacturing conditions is also critical to ensure no undesired degradations or transformations occur. In this study, the thermal behaviour of 40 derivatives of a series of sulphur and selenium heteroaryl compounds with potential antitumoural activity were studied. In addition, the most promising cytotoxic derivatives were analysed by a combination of differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric techniques in order to investigate their polymorphism and thermal stability. Moreover, stability under acid, alkaline and oxidative media was tested. Degradation under stress conditions as well as the presence of polymorphism was found for the compounds VA6E and VA7J, which might present a hurdle to carrying on with formulation. On the contrary, these obstacles were not found for derivative VA4J.

IscR of Rhodobacter sphaeroides functions as repressor of genes for iron-sulphur metabolism and represents a new type of iron-sulphur binding protein

Project description:Iron-sulphur (Fe-S) clusters are ensembles of iron and sulphide centres. They are found in all life forms and are important components of many enzymes involved in diverse cellular processes, including respiration, DNA synthesis or gene regulation. However, the increase in oxygen after the emergence of oxygenic photosynthesis created a threat to Fe–S proteins and, consequently, to the organisms relying on them. Therefore, bacteria have evolved mechanisms to maintain a precise intracellular iron concentration. A major role of IscR in R. sphaeroides iron dependent regulation was suggested in a bioinformatic study , which predicted a binding site in the upstream regions of several iron uptake genes. Most known IscR proteins have Fe-S clusters featuring (Cys)3(His)1 ligation. However, IscR proteins from Rhodobacteraceae harbour only one Cys residue and it was considered unlikely that they can ligate an Fe-S cluster. In this study, the role of R. sphaeroides IscR as transcriptional regulator and sensor of the Fe-S cluster status of the cell was analysed. The results provide evidence that R. sphaeroides IscR functions as transcriptional repressor of genes involved in iron metabolism by binding to the predicted DNA binding motif. Furthermore, IscR possesses a unique Fe-S cluster ligation scheme with only a single cysteine involved.

Coexistence of charge and ferromagnetic order in fcc Fe.

Project description:Phase coexistence phenomena have been intensively studied in strongly correlated materials where several ordered states simultaneously occur or compete. Material properties critically depend on external parameters and boundary conditions, where tiny changes result in qualitatively different ground states. However, up to date, phase coexistence phenomena have exclusively been reported for complex compounds composed of multiple elements. Here we show that charge- and magnetically ordered states coexist in double-layer Fe/Rh(001). Scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements reveal periodic charge-order stripes below a temperature of 130 K. Close to liquid helium temperature, they are superimposed by ferromagnetic domains as observed by spin-polarized scanning tunnelling microscopy. Temperature-dependent measurements reveal a pronounced cross-talk between charge and spin order at the ferromagnetic ordering temperature about 70 K, which is successfully modelled within an effective Ginzburg-Landau ansatz including sixth-order terms. Our results show that subtle balance between structural modifications can lead to competing ordering phenomena.

Production of selenium nanoparticles occurs through an interconnected pathway of sulphur metabolism and oxidative stress response in Pseudomonas putida KT2440.

Project description:The soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440 has been shown to produce selenium nanoparticles aerobically from selenite; however, the molecular actors involved in this process are unknown. Here, through a combination of genetic and analytical techniques, we report the first insights into selenite metabolism in this bacterium. Our results suggest that the reduction of selenite occurs through an interconnected metabolic network involving central metabolic reactions, sulphur metabolism, and the response to oxidative stress. Genes such as sucA, D2HGDH and PP_3148 revealed that the 2-ketoglutarate and glutamate metabolism is important to convert selenite into selenium. On the other hand, mutations affecting the activity of the sulphite reductase decreased the bacteria's ability to transform selenite. Other genes related to sulphur metabolism (ssuEF, sfnCE, sqrR, sqr and pdo2) and stress response (gqr, lsfA, ahpCF and sadI) were also identified as involved in selenite transformation. Interestingly, suppression of genes sqrR, sqr and pdo2 resulted in the production of selenium nanoparticles at a higher rate than the wild-type strain, which is of biotechnological interest. The data provided in this study brings us closer to understanding the metabolism of selenium in bacteria and offers new targets for the development of biotechnological tools for the production of selenium nanoparticles.

A mixed indium-iron lithium diphosphate, In(0.51)Fe(0.49)LiP(2)O(7).

Project description:The structure of In(0.51)Fe(0.49)LiP(2)O(7) consists of a three-dimensional network constructed from (In(III)/Fe(III))O(6) octa-hedra and P(2)O(7) groups. Each M(III)O(6) octa-hedron is linked to six PO(4) tetra-hedra belonging to five different P(2)O(7) groups and shares two corners with the same P(2)O(7) group so as to build infinite chains or rather parallel colums of [M(III)P(2)O(11)] running along the a axis. The linkage between these chains or columns defines hepta-gonal tunnels parallel to [100] in which the Li(+) ions are located in off-centred positions. The In(0.51)Fe(0.49)LiP(2)O(7) compound can be regarded as one composition of the continuous solid solution between LiFeP(2)O(7) and LiInP(2)O(7) whose structure is isotypic with the A(I)FeP(2)O(7) (A(I) = Na, K, Rb, Cs and Ag) diphosphate family.
