The reactions of AlCl 3.6H 2O and GaCl 3 with 2-pyridylphosphonic acid (2PypoH 2) and 4-pyridylphosphonic acid (4PypoH 2) afford cyclic aluminum and gallium phosphonate structures of [(2PypoH) 4Al 4(OH 2) 12]Cl 8.6H 2O ( 1), [(4PypoH) 4Al 4(OH 2) 12]Cl 8.11H 2O ( 2), [(2PypoH) 4Al 4(OH 2) 12](NO 3) 8.7H 2O ( 3), [(2PypoH) 2(2Pypo) 4Ga 8Cl 12(OH 2) 4(thf) 2](GaCl 4) 2..8thf ( 4), and [(2PypoH) 2(2Pypo) 4Ga 8Cl 12(OH 2) 4(thf) 2](NO 3) 2.9thf ( 5). Structures 1- 3 feature four aluminum atoms bridged by oxygen atoms from the phosphonate moiety and show structural resemblance to the secondary building units found in zeolites and aluminum phosphates. The gallium complexes, 4 and 5, have eight gallium atoms bridged by phosphonate moieties with two GaCl 4 (-) counterions present in 4 and nitrate ions in 5. The cage structures 1- 3 are interlinked by strong hydrogen bonds, forming polymeric chains that, for aluminum, are thermally robust. Exchange of the phosphonic acid for the more flexible 4PyCH 2PO 3H 2 afforded a coordination polymer with a 1:1 Ga:P ratio, {[(4PyCH 2PO 3H)Ga(OH 2) 3](NO 3) 2.0.5H 2O} x ( 6). Complexes 1- 6 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, and mass spectrometry and studied by TGA.

The reaction of Cu(ClO4)2. 6H2O with t-BuP(O)(OH)2 and 3,5-(CF3)2PzH in the presence of triethylamine afforded the dodecanuclear cage ([Et3NH]2[Cu12(mu-3,5-(CF3)2Pz)6(mu3-OH)6(mu-OH)3(mu3-t-BuPO3)2(mu6-t-BuPO3)3][t-BuPO2OH][C6H5CH3]2) (2). The molecular structure of this cage revealed that it possesses a barrel-shaped architechture. The cage structure is built by the cumulative coordination action of phosphonate, hydroxide, and pyrazolyl ligands. A similar reaction involving Cu(NO3)2. 3H2O, t-BuP(O)(OH)2, 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, and triethylamine afforded another dodecanuclear cage [Cu12(mu-DMPz)8(eta1-DMPzH)2(mu4-O)2(mu3-OH)4(mu3- t-BuPO3)4].3MeOH (3). The latter is crown-shaped and is built by the coordination of pyrazole, pyrazolyl, phosphonate, hydroxide, oxide, and methanol ligands. Both of the dodecanuclear cages are efficient nucleases in the presence of magnesium monoperoxyphthalate.

A per-O-methylated beta-cyclodextrin dimer, Py2CD, was conveniently prepared via two steps: the Williamson reaction of 3,5-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) yielding 2A,2'A-O-[3,5-pyridinediylbis(methylene)bis-beta-cyclodextrin (bisCD) followed by the O-methylation of all the hydroxy groups of the bisCD. Py2CD formed a very stable 1:1 complex (Fe(III)PCD) with [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(p-sulfonatophenyl)porphinato]iron(III) (Fe(III)TPPS) in aqueous solution. Fe(III)PCD was reduced with Na2S2O4 to afford the Fe (II)TPPS/Py2CD complex (Fe(II)PCD). Dioxygen was bound to Fe(II)PCD, the P(1/2)(O2) values being 42.4 +/- 1.6 and 176 +/- 3 Torr at 3 and 25 degrees C, respectively. The k(on)(O2) and k(off)(O2) values for the dioxygen binding were determined to be 1.3 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) and 3.8 x 10(3) s(-1), respectively, at 25 degrees C. Although the dioxygen adduct was not very stable (K(O2) = k(on)(O2)/k(off)(O2) = 3.4 x 10(3) M(-1)), no autoxidation of the dioxygen adduct of Fe(II)PCD to Fe(III)PCD was observed. These results suggest that the encapsulation of Fe (II)TPPS by Py2CD strictly inhibits not only the extrusion of dioxygen from the cyclodextrin cage but also the penetration of a water molecule into the cage. The carbon monoxide affinity of Fe(II)PCD was much higher than the dioxygen affinity; the P(1/2)(CO), k(on)(CO), k(off)(CO), and K(CO) values being (1.6 +/- 0.2) x 10(-2) Torr, 2.4 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1), 4.8 x 10(-2) s(-1), and 5.0 x 10(7) M(-1), respectively, at 25 degrees C. Fe(II)PCD also bound nitric oxide. The rate of the dissociation of NO from (NO)Fe(II)PCD ((5.58 +/- 0.42) x 10(-5) s(-1)) was in good agreement with the maximum rate ((5.12 +/- 0.18) x 10(-5) s(-1)) of the oxidation of (NO)Fe(II)PCD to Fe(III)PCD and NO3(-), suggesting that the autoxidation of (NO)Fe(II)PCD proceeds through the ligand exchange between NO and O2 followed by the rapid reaction of (O2)Fe(II)PCD with released NO, affording Fe(II)PCD and the NO3(-) anion inside the cyclodextrin cage.

Host plant water status is thought to influence dispersal of the xylophagous leafhopper Homalodisca vitripennis Germar, especially where plants are grown under high evaporative demand. Preference by adult H. vitripennis for plants grown under different water deficit and nitrogen form fertilization regimens was studied under laboratory conditions. Leafhopper abundance and ovipositional preference were studied on potted 'Washington navel' orange and 'Haas' avocado in cage choice tests, and feeding rate was estimated using excreta produced by insects confined on plants. A similar study compared responses to citrus treated with 1:1 and 26:1 ratios of fertigated nitrate-N to ammonium-N. The insects were more abundant, oviposited, and fed significantly more on surplus-irrigated plants than on plants under moderate continuous deficit irrigation except avocado feeding, which was nearly significant. Plants exposed to drought became less preferred after 3 and 7 d in avocado and citrus, respectively. Citrus xylem fluid tension at this point was estimated at 0.93 MPa. A corresponding pattern of decline in feeding rate was observed on citrus, but on avocado, feeding rate was low overall and not statistically different between treatments. No statistical differences in abundance, oviposition, or feeding were detected on citrus fertigated with 26:1 or 1:1 ratios of nitrate-N to ammonium-N. Feeding occurred diurnally on both plant species. Discussion is provided on the potential deployment of regulated deficit irrigation to manage H. vitripennis movement as part of a multitactic effort to minimize the risk of disease outbreaks from Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. in southern California agriculture.

The remarkably large cluster Sc4(mu3-O)2 has been obtained trapped inside an Ih-C80 cage by conducting the vaporization of graphite rods doped with copper(II) nitrate and scandium(III) oxide in an electric arc under a low pressure helium atmosphere with an added flow of air. The product has been isolated by chromatography and identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The structure of Sc4(mu3-O)2@Ih-C80 has been determined by X-ray crystallography on a crystal of Sc4(mu3-O)2@Ih-C80.NiII(OEP).2(C6H6). The Sc4(mu3-O)2 unit consists of a distorted tetrahedron of scandium atoms with oxygen atoms bridging two of its faces. The Sc-Sc distances range from 2.946(7) to 3.379(7) A.

Heterogeneous reactions of sea salt aerosol with various oxides of nitrogen lead to replacement of chloride ion by nitrate ion. Studies of the photochemistry of a model system were carried out using deliquesced mixtures of NaCl and NaNO3 on a Teflon substrate. Varying molar ratios of NaCl to NaNO3 (1 : 9 Cl- : NO3-, 1 : 1 Cl- : NO3-, 3 : 1 Cl- : NO3-, 9 : 1 Cl- : NO3-) and NaNO3 at the same total concentration were irradiated in air at 299 +/- 3 K and at a relative humidity of 75 +/- 8% using broadband UVB light (270-380 nm). Gaseous NO2 production was measured as a function of time using a chemiluminescence NO(y) detector. Surprisingly, an enhanced yield of NO2 was observed as the chloride to nitrate ratio increased. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations show that as the Cl- : NO3- ratio increases, the nitrate ions are drawn closer to the interface due to the existence of a double layer of interfacial Cl- and subsurface Na+. This leads to a decreased solvent cage effect when the nitrate ion photodissociates to NO2+O*-, increasing the effective quantum yield and hence the production of gaseous NO2. The implications of enhanced NO2 and likely OH production as sea salt aerosols become processed in the atmosphere are discussed.

The X-ray structural characterization of tritylphosphonic acid, Ph3CPO3H2 (), reveals that it possesses three different structural forms (a hexameric cage, a two-dimensional polymeric sheet and a dimer) depending upon the solvent used for crystallization. The reaction of cerium nitrate with under solvothermal conditions afforded a molecular dinuclear Ce(III) phosphonate, [Ce2{Ph3CPO2(OEt)}4(NO3)2(H2O)4] (). The molecular structure of reveals that the two cerium atoms are held together by two isobidentate phosphonate and nitrate ligands. The cerium atoms are enveloped by a 8 O coordination environment in a distorted dodecahedral geometry. is found to be a good catalyst for the three-component Biginelli reaction.

Three new crystalline compounds of Ag(I) with fullerene-containing ligands, the piperidine adduct [C(60)(N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)N)] and the fullero[60]pyrrolidine [C(60)(CH(2)N(CH(3))CH(2))], have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The polymeric structure of {[C(60)(N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)N)][Ag(O(2)CCF(3))](2)}.CS(2) consists of linear chains composed of two distinct molecules of the functionalized fullerene, with four Ag(I) ions attached to the four nitrogen atoms and four bridging trifluoroacetate ions. Two of the four Ag(I) ions form eta(2)-bonds to carbon atoms in different regions of the fullerene cage, and there is one close Ag-Ag contact (3.1657(7) A) as well. These chains are further cross-linked by bridging trifluoroacetate ions. The structure of {[C(60)(CH(2)N(CH(3))CH(2))]Ag(NO(3))}.0.25CH(3)OH involves two similar polymeric chains in which Ag(I) ions bind to the nitrogen atom of one N-methyl-3,4-fullero[60]pyrrolidine ligand and to a carbon atom of another N-methyl-3,4-fullero[60]pyrrolidine in eta(1)-fashion for one chain and in distorted eta(2)-fashion in the other. Additionally, each Ag(I) ion is bonded to two oxygen atoms from two bridging nitrate ions. On the other hand, [C(60)(N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)N)](2)Ag(NO(3)).0.5CH(3)OH.CH(2)Cl(2) is a simple coordination complex with two very large ligands attached to Ag(I). Coordination of Ag(I) to C(60) produces much smaller alterations to the fullerene geometry than does coordination of Pt(0)(PPh(3))(2) or Ir(I)(CO)Cl(PPh(3))(2) groups.

We investigated potential effects of the fish farms on water column and sediment around Salih Island in the Gulluk Bay (Aegean Sea, Turkey) where four seasonal samplings were performed from October 2001 to August 2002. One measured physicochemical variables in water column including dissolved oxygen, nutrients (nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, phosphate and silicate), particulate organic carbon (POC) and chlorophyll a. Organic matter, total organic carbon (TOC) and heavy metals (Zn, Cu and Fe) were measured in sediment samples. Although occasional increases in ammonium and chlorophyll a concentrations were observed at the cage stations as compared to the control one, no statistically significant differences were detected among the stations in terms of nutrients, chlorophyll a and POC. On the other hand, significant differences were found in organic matter, TOC and heavy metals (Zn and Fe) of the sediments among the sampling stations. Despite these differences, our results indicate that concentrations of physicochemical variables and heavy metals were within the range of tolerable levels for the marine ecosystem, and the oligotrophic nature of the water column in the study area was able to assimilate organic and inorganic loads caused by the fish farms.

Hydrothermal reactions of aluminum(III) nitrate or iron(III) nitrate with N,N-dimethylaminomethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid (H(4)L) and sodium hydroxide lead to two novel isostructural octanuclear metal phosphonate cages encapsulating two Na(I) ions, namely, [Al(8)Na(2)(HL)(2)(H(2)L)(10)(H(2)O)(6)] x 20 H(2)O (1) and [Fe(8)Na(2)(HL)(2)(H(2)L)(10)(H(2)O)(6)] x 22 H(2)O (2). The molecular structure of 1 can be viewed as a three-in-one cluster, in which a central zeolite D6R SBU lookalike aluminophosphonate cage is capped by two symmetry-related aluminophosphonate tetrahedral cages above and below and such a tetrahedral cage, being composed of four zeolite S6R SBU lookalike aluminophosphonate rings, further hexadentately traps one Na(+) ion in its cavity.
