Bond-length distributions have been examined for eighty-four configurations of the lanthanide ions and twenty-two configurations of the actinide ions bonded to oxygen. The lanthanide contraction for the trivalent lanthanide ions bonded to O<sup>2-</sup> is shown to vary as a function of coordination number and to diminish in scale with increasing coordination number.

Serum proteins [molecular weight (MW) > 10,000] are essential for increased insulin-stimulated glucose transport after in vitro muscle contractions. We investigated the role of the kallikrein-kininogen system, including bradykinin, which is derived from kallikrein (MW > 10,000)-catalyzed degradation of serum protein kininogen (MW > 10,000), on this contraction effect. In vitro electrical stimulation of rat epitrochlearis muscles was performed in 1) rat serum ± kallikrein inhibitors; 2) human plasma (normal or kallikrein-deficient); 3) rat serum ± bradykinin receptor-2 inhibitors; or 4) serum-free buffer ± bradykinin. 3- O-methylglucose transport (3-MGT) was measured 3.5 h later. Serum ± kallikrein inhibitors tended ( P = 0.08) to diminish postcontraction insulin-stimulated 3-MGT. Contractions in normal plasma enhanced insulin-stimulated 3-MGT vs. controls, but contractions in kallikrein-deficient plasma did not. Supplementing rat serum with bradykinin receptor antagonist HOE-140 during contraction did not alter insulin-stimulated 3-MGT. Muscles stimulated to contract in serum-free buffer plus bradykinin did not have enhanced insulin-stimulated 3-MGT. Bradykinin was insufficient for postcontraction-enhanced insulin sensitivity. However, results with kallikrein inhibitors and kallikrein-deficient plasma suggest kallikrein plays a role in this improved insulin action.

Although some 3-D lanthanide glutarates have been reported, they exhibit a very robust structural type, whose structure is not changed by different Ln3+ ions, but compound 3 shows a new structural type.

<p>The roles of organic additives in the assembly and crystallisation of zeolites is still not fully understood. This is important when attempting to prepare novel frameworks to produce new zeolites. We consider 18-crown-6 ether as an additive, which has previously been shown to differentiate between the EMT and FAU zeolite frameworks. However, it is unclear whether this distinction is dictated by influences on the metastable free-energy landscape or geometric templating. Using high pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction, we have observed that the presence of 18C6 does not impact the EMT framework flexibility – agreeing with our previous geometric simulations and suggesting that 18C6 does not behave as a true geometric template. This was further studied with computational modelling, using first-principles comparative periodic DFT and lattice-dynamics calculations. It is shown that the lattice energy of FAU is more stable than EMT, however this is strongly impacted by the presence of solvent/guest molecules in the framework. Furthermore, the EMT topology possesses a greater vibrational entropy, being stabilised by free energy at finite temperature. Overall, these findings demonstrate that the role of the 18C6 additive is to influence the free-energy of crystallisation to assemble the EMT framework as opposed to FAU. </p>
