Postsynthetic metal-node metathesis of a flexible, yet robust porous anionic Cd–MOF with different metal ions of varying ionic radii, charges and chemical nature leads to diverse isostructural MOFs. The Eu@MOF and Tb@MOF – accessed by PSME – are brilliantly luminescent. The modified MOFs permit organic dye separation.

The proteinase from the extremely thermophilic Bacillus strain EA.1 exhibits maximum stability at a pH of approx. 6.5. In the presence of calcium ions the half-life at 95 degrees C of the enzyme at this pH was 17 min, and loss of activity followed first-order decay kinetics. The role of metal ions in the activity and stability of the enzyme was studied using the holoenzyme, the metal-depleted apoenzyme, and a zinc-enriched apoenzyme preparation. Zinc and calcium ions were the preferred bivalent cations for the active site and stabilization site(s) respectively. Stabilization by metal ions was not in itself a highly stringent process, but ions other than calcium which stabilized the enzyme generally had a concomitant inhibitory effect on activity. Inhibition and stabilization of the enzyme by cations were concentration-dependent effects and certain ions activated the apoenzyme but not the holoenzyme. Manganese(II) ions conferred some stability and also activated the enzyme, but in the latter case were not as effective as zinc ions. The results are discussed with reference to the ionic radii, co-ordination number and preferred ligand donors of the ions. Mercury(II) ions severely compromised enzyme activity and stability, and the effects of thiol-reactive agents suggest that thiol groups also have a role in enzyme integrity.

X-ray crystallographic and theoretical charge density data for a series of compounds [(Co(Ts3tren))M(Co(Ts3tren))] (M = Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) is examined. The crystal structures are isostructural and the alkaline earth metal ions have the same arrangement of donor oxygen atoms despite the large variation in ionic radii. The isomorphism of these molecules is surprising and a theoretical examination of the electronic structures, with the different metal ions along the series, provides detailed insight into their stabilities. The theoretical and experimental data are consistent and agree well. The local properties of the Co(II) ion and its donor atoms are relatively independent of the alkali earth metal.

Crystal structures of Bi2Mo3O12 and Bi1.8Ln0.2Mo3O12 (Ln = Ce, Nd, Dy, Er) were studied using Rietveld structural refinements of X-ray powder diffraction data. Substitution of 10 mol% Ln for Bi produced changes in lattice parameters, bond lengths and distances between metal ions. These changes such as decreases in average bond lengths of Mo1O4 tetrahedra and variations in the distances between adjacent metal ions on the same plane could be ascribed to different ionic radii and electronegativty of Bi and rare earth atoms, and might be related to catalytic activity of bismuth molybdate for the selective oxidation and ammoxidation of alkenes.

SummaryGarnets undergo readjustment of ion-assemblages under external mechanical and thermal stresses; this adjustment favours those paths that annul the very cause to which it is due. Metal ions in garnets being replaceable, with rising metamorphism garnets become reluctant to accommodate ions of larger ionic radii.Data from recent literature on chemical analyses of garnets from rocks belonging to different grades of regional metamorphism reveal that the (FeO + MgO) content of garnet varies linearly with (CaO + MnO) content. As the Fe/Mg ratio does not vary appreciably, a fair estimate of metamorphic grade can be made from a knowledge of (CaO + MnO) or of (FeO +MgO) individually or even, with less confidence, of FeO or MgO alone. From the study of the available data it is found that (CaO + MnO) and (FeO + MgO)/(CaO + MnO) provide the best indicators of progressive metamorphism. Cell edges of garnets decrease progressively with increasing metamorphism and this may also be used as a fairly good index of metamorphism. When cell edges are plotted against (FeO + MgO)/(CaO + MnO), a hyperbolic curve is obtained.

The kinetics or chemical equilibria of exchange of Ca(II), Sr(II), Ba(I), Zn(II), Cd(II), Al(III), Fe(III), Se(IV), Ce(IV) and Th(IV) counter ions in alginate gel complexes by H+ ions have been investigated titrimetrically and conductimetrically at a constant ionic strength of 0.1 mol/dm3. The thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated and are discussed in terms of ionic radii and polarizability of the metal ions, coordination geometry, and stability of the gel complexes.
