Dynamic and Static Nature of Br4σ(4c–6e) and Se2Br5σ(7c–10e) in the Selenanthrene System and Related Species Elucidated by QTAIM Dual Functional Analysis with QC Calculations by Satoko Hayashi, Taro Nishide, Waro Nakanishi

“…The ABr-∗-ABr and ABr-∗-BBr interactions are predicted to have the CT-TBP (trigonal bipyramidal adduct formation through charge transfer) nature and the typical hydrogen bond nature, respectively. The nature of Se2Br5σ(7c–10e) is also clarified typically, employing an anionic model of [Br-Se(C4H4Se)-Br---Br---Br-Se(C4H4Se)-Br]−, the 1,4-diselenin system, rather than (BrSeC12H8)Br---Se---Br-Br---Br-Se(C12H8Se)-Br, the selenanthrene system.…”

The Adsorption of Copper, Lead Metal Ions, and Methylene Blue Dye from Aqueous Solution by Pure and Treated Fennel Seeds by Ntandokazi Mabungela, Ntaote David Shooto, Fanyana Mtunzi, Eliazer Bobby Naidoo

“…Postadsorption analysis revealed that adsorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) was controlled mainly by the electrostatic attraction, while that of MB was synergistic of electrostatic attraction, π-π interaction, and hydrogen bond. It was found that the uptake processes of MB dye onto all adsorbents fitted Freundlich while both cations were described by Langmuir model. …”

Propionate metabolism in Desulfurella acetivorans by Eugenio Pettinato, Thomas M. Steiner, Eric A. Cassens, Thomas Geisberger, Christian Seitz, Simone König, Wolfgang Eisenreich, Ivan A. Berg

“…Desulfurella acetivorans is a strictly anaerobic sulfur-reducing deltaproteobacterium that can grow heterotrophically by oxidation of acetate or autotrophically with molecular hydrogen. Here we show that D. acetivorans possesses a putative operon encoding enzymes of the methylcitrate cycle of propionate oxidation and demonstrate that this bacterium is capable of propionate growth. …”
