The electrochemical and photochemical behaviour of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) complex (I) on glassy carbon, platinium, n-SnO2, and n-Si electrodes in the presence of sodium lauryl sulphate (II) was investigated. The surfactant in low concentrations induces self-association of the complex cation and its accumulation in the electrode-solution interface. At the optimum concentrations of sodium lauryl sulphate (cII ~0.6 mmol l-1) and of the complex (cI < 0.1 mmol l-1), monomolecular layers composed of I, II counterions are formed on the electrodes. The formation of the surface films does not depend on the kind of the electrode and improves the sensitivity of the voltammetric determination of I by as much as an order of magnitude. For the semiconductor electrodes, the surface films enhance the efficiency of conversion of radiant energy into electric energy. The effect under study may participate in the photosynthesis of green plants.

Homoleptic 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) metalates of iron and cobalt have been synthesized directly from the corresponding homoleptic anthracene metalates. In the iron structure, bis[([2.2.2]cryptand)potassium(I)] tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ferrate(–I) anthracene(–I), [K(C18H36N2O6)]2[Fe(C10H8N2)3](C14H10), the asymmetric unit contains one potassium complex cation in a general position, the Fe center and one and a half bipy ligands of the ferrate complex on a crystallographic twofold axis that includes the Fe atom, and one half of an anthracene radical anion whose other half is generated by a crystallographic inversion center. The cations and anions are well separated and the geometry about the Fe center is essentially octahedral. In the cobalt structure, ([2.2.2]cryptand)potassium(I) bis(2,2′-bipyridine)cobaltate(–I) anthracene hemisolvate tetrahydrofuran (THF) disolvate, [K(C18H36N2O6)][Co(C10H8N2)2]·0.5C14H10·2C4H8O, the asymmetric unit contains the cation, anion, and both cocrystallized THF solvent molecules in general positions, and one half of a cocrystallized anthracene molecule whose other half is generated by a crystallographic inversion center. The cation and anion are well separated and the ligand planes in the cobaltate anion are periplanar. Each anthracene molecule is midway between and is oriented perpendicular to a pair of symmetry-related bipy ligands such that aromatic donor–acceptor interactions may play a role in the packing arrangement. The lengths of the bonds that connect the bipy rings support the assertion that the ligands are bipy radical anions in the iron structure. However, in the case of cobalt, these lengths are between the known ranges for a bipy radical anion and a bipy dianion, and therefore no conclusion can be made from the crystallography alone. One cocrystallized THF solvent molecule in the cobalt structure was modeled as disordered over three positions with appropriate geometric and thermal restraints, which resulted in a refined component mass ratio of 0.412 (4):0.387 (3):0.201 (3).

Acidity constants of ammine complexes of tetravalent platinum in aqueous solutions have been determined by a spectrophotometric method at very low ionic strengths and extrapolated to zero ionic strength. Temperature variations of pK-values (25 °C and 50 °C) yield thermodynamic parameters for two successive deprotonation steps of hexaammineplatinum(IV), pentaamminechloroplatinum(IV), and tris(ethylenediamine)pla- tinum(IV) complexes and for the deprotonation of pentaammineaquacobalt(III) ion.The enthalpy changes for the first and second steps are similar and range from 50 to 75 kJ/mole while for the aqua ligand of Co(III) 33 kJ/mole are found. The very large dif­ference in the entropy changes (about 70 to 80 J/K mole for the first step and -10 to + 20 J/K mole for the second step) is interpreted by a model of solvation change. The primary hydration sphere of strongly oriented and immobilized water dipoles around the highly charged complex cation is transformed to a hydrogen-bonded solvation sheath when the electric field of the complex is weakened upon release of the first proton.

The title complex, [Co(C21H16N4)2][Co(NCS)4]·CH3OH, consists of one [Co{C(py)4}2]2+complex cation [C(py)4= tetrakis(pyridin-2-yl)methane], one [Co(NCS)4]2−complex anion and a methanol solvent molecule. In the cation, the CoIIatom is coordinated by six N atoms of two C(py)4ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the anion, the CoIIatom is coordinated by the N atoms of four NCS−ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The methanol molecule is disordered and was modelled over three orientations (occupancies 0.8:0.1:0.1). There are two weak hydrogen-bond-like interactions between the methanol solvent molecule and NCS−ligands of the anion [O...S = 3.283 (3) and 3.170 (2) Å].

In the complex cation of the title salt, [Co(C12H8N2)3](C10H5O8)2·H2O, the CoII cation is situated on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated in a distorted octahedral manner by six N atoms from three chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands. In the crystal, the non-coordinating 2,4,5-tricarboxybenzoate anions interact with each other via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating a two-dimensional network parallel to (100). Adjacent sheets are connected by waterO—H...Ocarboxylate hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three-dimensional network structure that surrounds the complex cations.


The role of the co-transported cation in the coupling mechanism of the melibiose permease of Escherichia coli has been investigated by analysing its sugar-binding activity, facilitated diffusion reactions and energy-dependent transport reactions catalysed by the carrier functioning either as an H + , Na + or Li + -sugar symporter. The results suggest that the coupling cation not only acts as an activator for sugar-binding on the carrier but also regulates the rate of dissociation of the co-substrates in the cytoplasm by controlling the stability of the ternary complex cation-sugar—carrier facing the cell interior. Furthermore, there is some evidence that the membrane potential enhances the rate of symport activity by increasing the rate of dissociation of the co-substrates from the carrier in the cellular compartment. Identification of the melibiose permease as a membrane protein of 39 kDa by using a T7 RNA polymerase/promoter expression system is described. Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to replace individual carrier histidine residues by arginine to probe the functional contribution of each of the seven histidine residues to the symport mechanism. Only substitution of arginine for His94 greatly interferes with the carrier function. It is finally shown that mutations affecting the glutamate residue in position 361 inactivate translocation of the co-substrates but not their recognition by the permease.
