Aqua-trinitrato[2,4,6-tris-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine]neodymium(III) dihydrate.

In the title compound, [Nd(NO(3))(3)(C(18)H(12)N(6))(H(2)O)]·2H(2)O, the Nd(3+) ion is in a distorted bicapped square-anti-prismatic geometry formed by three N atoms from the 2,4,6-tris-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPTZ) ligand, six O atoms from the three nitrate anions and one O atom from the aqua ligand. The mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Two types of π-π stacking inter-actions occur between the TPTZ ligands of adjacent complexes [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.

Simultaneous determination of phthalates and adipates in human serum using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with solid-phase extraction.

A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry assay was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of phthalates and adipates in human serum. The phthalates and adipates studied were dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, benzylbutyl phthalate, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, di-n-octyl phthalate, diethyl adipate, dibutyl adipate, diisobutyl adipate, bis(2-butoxyethyl) adipate and di-2-ethylhexyl adipate, with diisooctyl phthalate as internal standard. The extraction and cleaning up procedure was carried out with solid-phase extraction cartridges containing dimethyl butylamine groups, which showed extraction efficiencies over 88% for each analyte and the internal standard.

catena-Poly[diaqua-tris(μ(3)-biphenyl-2,2-dicarboxyl-ato)disamarium(III)].

The title compound, [Sm(2)(C(14)H(8)O(4))(3)(H(2)O)(2)](n), is composed of one-dimensional chains and is isostructural with previously reported compounds [Wang et al. (2003 ▶). Eur.

Poly[[tetra-aqua-bis[μ(4)-2,2'-(p-phenyl-ene-di-oxy)diacetato][μ(2)-2,2'-(p-phenyl-ene-di-oxy)diacetato]dierbium(III)] hexa-hydrate].

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Er(2)(C(10)H(8)O(6))(3)(H(2)O)(4)]·6H(2)O, comprises one Er(3+) ion, one and a half 2,2'-(p-phenyl-enedi-oxy)diacetate (hqda) ligands, two coordinated water mol-ecules and three uncoordinated water mol-ecules. The Er(3+) ion is nine-coordinated by seven O atoms from hqda ligands and two O atoms from water mol-ecules. In the title compound, there are two types of crystallographically independent ligands: one with an inversion center in the middle of the ligand is chelating on both ends of the ligand towards each one Er center; the other hqda ligands are bridging-chelating on one side, and bridging on the other end of the ligand.

An HPLC method for the determination of ethacridine lactate in human urine.

An HPLC method was developed and validated for the determination of ethacridine lactate in human urine. Solid-phase extraction cartridges were used to extract urine samples. Separation was carried out on a C(18) column maintained at 30 degrees C with methanol-0.

Bis(2,2'-biimidazole-κN,N')bis-(2-bromo-fumarato-κO)copper(II).

In the title compound, [Cu(C(4)H(2)BrO(4))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(4))(2)], the central Cu(II) atom lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated in an octahedral geometry by four N atoms from two chelating biimidazole mol-ecules in the equatorial plane and two O atoms from two 2-bromo-fumarate ligands in the axial positions. O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to a three-dimensional network.

catena-Poly[[diaquabis(5-carboxypentanoato-kappaO)cobalt(II)]-mu-1,2-di-4-pyridylethane-kappa2N:N'].

The title compound, [Co(C6H9O4)2(C12H12N2)(H2O)2]n, crystallizes in the space group P-1. The Co atom is on a center of symmetry and the 1,2-di-4-pyridylethane (bpe) ligand also sits across a crystallographic inversion center. The Co atom is octahedrally coordinated by two aqua ligands, two carboxylate O atoms and two pyridyl N atoms, and is bridged by the anti-bpe ligands to generate one-dimensional 1infinity{[Co(Hadip)2(H2O)2](bpe)2/2} chains (Hadip is 5-carboxypentanoate), which are further interlinked by O-H.
