The synthesis of four new Anderson-Evans type cluster based solids was carried out from an aqueous solution containing sodium molybdate, chromium chloride, cupric chloride and pyrazole at room temperature: [{Cr3O(CH3COO)6(H2O)3}2{H7CrMo6O24}]·24H2O, 1; [{Cu2(ox)(pz)4}{H7CrMo6O24}]·11H2O, 3; [{Cu(pz)2(H2O)2}{Cu2(ox)(pz)4}{H5CrMo6O24}]·8H2O, 4; and [{Cu(pz)3Cl}{Cu2(ox)(pz)4}{H6CrMo6O24}]·8H2O, 5. In 1, the discrete Anderson-Evans cluster aggregates with trimeric chromium acetate cationic complex through supramolecular interactions. In 3–5, the Anderson-Evans cluster is covalently linked into a 1D chain through oxalate bridged copper pyrazole units. In 3, the chains are further stabilized by water oligomers. In 4 and 5, the chains are covalently linked into 2D sheets by different copper pyrazole complexes. The oxalate molecules in 3–5 are probably generated in situ in the reaction medium, through a reductive coupling of dissolved carbon dioxide assisted by copper pyrazole units.

A fast and green protocol for the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles from azides and arylacetaldehydes at room temperature was developed using [bmim]PF6/KOH as the reaction medium. It was found that the in situ-generated carbene from [bmim]PF6/KOH acted as the catalyst. In the absence of a transition-metal catalyst and organic solvent, this azide–arylacetaldehyde [3 + 2] cycloaddition proceeds efficiently, with high levels of regioselectivity, broad range of substrates, excellent yields and simple operation under mild conditions.

Uniform hexagonal covellite CuS thin films were deposited at room temperature by an in situ solution chemical reaction using copper precursor solid films as cationic source and ammonium sulfide ethanol solution as anionic reaction medium. We investigated the influence of both ethanolamine and butanol contents used in copper nitrate/ethylene glycol monomethylether (EGME) cationic solution for the preparation of copper precursor solid films, deposition cycle numbers and annealing treatment of the as-grown thin films by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FESEM, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence EDX, transmission electron microscopy–Selected area electronic diffraction (TEM–SAED), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared (UV-Vis–NIR) measurements. Photo-response of the CuS thin films was characterized by linear sweep voltammetry. The deposited CuS thin films were used to sensitize TiO 2 anodes for solar cell application. The results showed that the CuS films had two-dimension oriented, half-sheet shaped growing morphology standing disorderly but vertically to substrates, and the calculated texture coefficient TC(102) verified that the half-sheet shaped crystallites had (102) plane orientation. This in situ multi-deposition process had an average deposited rate of 9 nm per cycle, and a self-perfect function to grow smooth, uniform and 2D oriented morphology with increase in the dip-cycle numbers. The photocurrent density was 14.5 Ma/cm2 at 1 V versus Ag / AgCl electrode for the annealed CuS thin films. CuS -sensitized TiO 2 solar cells had a maximum conversion efficiency of 0.224%.

Four metal complexes, namely [Cu2(ttzCOO)2(H2O)4]・4H2O (1), [Zn2(ttzCOO)2(H2O)6]・2H2O (2), [Pb(ttzCOO)(H2O)2]n (3), and {[Cd(ttzCOO)(H2O)]・1/2H2O}n (4), where ttzCOO2− = tetrazole-5-carboxylate dianion, have been prepared by the reaction of the sodium salt of 1Htetrazole- 5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester in aqueous methanolic solution at room temperature with CuCl2, ZnI2, Pb(NO3)2, or Cd(NO3)2, respectively. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, TG-DSC analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. While 1 and 2 are structurally similar dinuclear complexes, 3 and 4 exhibit a 1D chain structure and a 3D polymeric framework, respectively.

Otoconia of higher vertebrates are interesting biological crystals that display the diffraction patterns of perfect crystals (e.g., calcite for birds and mammal) when intact, but fail to produce a regular crystallographic pattern when fixed. Image processing of the fixed crystal matrix, which resembles the organic templates of teeth and bone, failed to clarify a paradox of biomineralization described by Mann. Recently, we suggested that inner ear otoconia crystals contain growth plates that run in different directions, and that the arrangement of the plates may contribute to the turning angles seen at the hexagonal faces of the crystals.Using image processing algorithms described earlier, and Fourier Transform function (2FFT) of BioScan Optimas®, we evaluated the patterns in the packing of the otoconia fibrils of newly hatched chicks (Gallus domesticus) inner ears. Animals were fixed in situ by perfusion of 1% phosphotungstic acid (PTA) at room temperature through the left ventricle, after intraperitoneal Nembutal (35mg/Kg) deep anesthesia. Negatives were made with a Hitachi H-7100 TEM at 50K-400K magnifications. The negatives were then placed on a light box, where images were filtered and transferred to a 35 mm camera as described.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARg) is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily and has been shown in vitro to regulate genes involved in lipid metabolism and adipocyte differentiation. By Northern analysis, we and other researchers have shown that expression of this receptor predominates in adipose tissue in adult mice, and appears first in whole-embryo mRNA at 13.5 days postconception. In situ hybridization was used to find out in which developing tissues PPARg is specifically expressed.Digoxigenin-labeled riboprobes were generated using the Genius™ 4 RNA Labeling Kit from Boehringer Mannheim. Full length PPAR gamma, obtained by PCR from mouse liver cDNA, was inserted into pBluescript SK and used as template for the transcription reaction. Probes of average size 200 base pairs were made by partial alkaline hydrolysis of the full length transcripts. The in situ hybridization assays were performed as described previously with some modifications. Frozen sections (10 μm thick) of day 18 mouse embryos were cut, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and acetylated with 0.25% acetic anhydride in 1.0M triethanolamine buffer. The sections were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature in pre-hybridization buffer, and were then hybridized with a probe concentration of 200μg per ml at 70° C, overnight in a humidified chamber. Following stringent washes in SSC buffers, the immunological detection steps were performed at room temperature. The alkaline phosphatase labeled, anti-digoxigenin antibody and detection buffers were purchased from Boehringer Mannheim. The sections were treated with a blocking buffer for one hour and incubated with antibody solution at a 1:5000 dilution for 2 hours, both at room temperature. Colored precipitate was formed by exposure to the alkaline phosphatase substrate nitrobluetetrazoliumchloride/ bromo-chloroindlylphosphate.
