Infrared spectral studies of the solid led us to believe that the published crystal structure of dicesium trans-tetraaquadichlorochromium(III) chloride,trans-Cs(2)[CrCl(2)(H(2)O)(4)]Cl(3) might be incorrect. Crystal data: Cs(2)CrCl(5). 4H(2)O, a = 17.484(9) Å, b = 6.099(3) Å, c = 6.928(3) Å, beta = 106.06(5) degrees, monoclinic, C2/m, Z = 2 molecules per cell. The redetermination has revealed disorder in the positions of the water molecules. Instead of one type of H(2)O molecule being present as found in the original study, two sets of such molecules with four nonequivalent O.Cl contacts were found. The presence, in the O-D stretching region of the spectra of samples with low deuterium content, of three bands with intensities close to 2:1:1 (rather than the expected four) is believed to be a consequence of different degrees of nonlinearity of the two hydrogen bonds formed by the water molecules of one of the two existing types.

Temperature Dependence of Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance and the Observation of Metal-Ligand Covalency in Actinide Complexes: Cl in CsUOCl.

J Phys Chem A

October 2023

Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington 99354, United States.

We report a study of the temperature dependence of Cl nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) transition energies and spin-lattice relaxation times () for U-depleted dicesium uranyl tetrachloride (CsUOCl) aimed at elucidating electronic interactions between the uranium center and atoms in the equatorial plane of the UO ion. The transition frequency decreases slowly with temperature below 75 K and with a more rapid linear dependence above this temperature. The spin-lattice relaxation time becomes shorter with temperature, and as temperatures increase, the decrease becomes nearly quadratic.

Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) of White Mold Resistance in Snap Bean.

Genes (Basel)

December 2022

Department of Horticulture, Oregon State University, 4017 Ag & Life Sciences Bldg., Corvallis, OR 97331, USA.

White mold can result in snap bean yield losses of 90 to 100% when field conditions favor the pathogen. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to detect loci significantly associated with white mold resistance in a panel of snap bean ( L.) cultivars.

The role of spectrin breakdown products in patients with traumatic brain injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Neurol Sci

April 2023

School of Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, Beijing Sport University, Haidian District, No. 48 Xinxi Road, Beijing, 102211, China.

Background: Spectrin Breakdown Products (SBDPs) accumulate in the brain after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are expected to become a potentially promising biomarker of TBI.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis were undertaken to evaluate the role of SBDPs in the diagnosis and prognosis of TBI.

Methods: We systematically searched the following databases up to 31 October 2022: Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science Database, and studies were only included if they had sufficient data on SBDP concentrations in TBI patients.

1,4-Bridged calix[6]--crown-4 (H) capable of metal binding was employed, and the influence of solvent variations on the formation of alkali metal complexes (-) was investigated. In the crystal, the bowl-shaped H host contains one water molecule in a good-fit fashion via H-bonds. When the H host was reacted with alkali metal hydroxides (M = Na, K, Rb, and Cs) in chloroform/methanol (solvent A), anion-free dinuclear bowl-shaped complexes of type [M(H)] were isolated regardless of the metal ions.
