Phyllomanganate vein-infillings in faulted and Al-poor regoliths of the New Caledonian ophiolite: periodic and sequential crystallization of Ni-asbolane, Alk-birnessite and H-birnessite

Mineralogy, chemistry and spatial distribution of phyllomanganates, found in abundance at the bottom of thick Ni-laterite deposits, were established on dislocated vein-infillings showing banded and fibrous patterns (i.e. colloforms with rows of tiny boxwor ...

A catalytically active [Mn]-hydrogenase incorporating a non-native metal cofactor

Xile Hu, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Matthew Wodrich, Huijie Pan

Nature carefully selects specific metal ions for incorporation into the enzymes that catalyse the chemical reactions necessary for life. Hydrogenases, enzymes that activate molecular H-2, exclusively utilize Ni and Fe in [NiFe]-, [FeFe]- and [Fe]-hydrogean ...

Manganese-mediated reductive amidation of esters with nitroarenes

Xile Hu, Chi Wai Cheung, Peng Wang, Ning Shen

Amides are ubiquitous molecules in nature and in synthetic chemistry. Here we report a convenient and efficient method to synthesize N-aryl amides via amidation of esters with nitroarenes. In the presence of manganese metal, this amidation proceeded smooth ...

Manganese-Mediated Reductive Transamidation of Tertiary Amides with Nitroarenes

Xile Hu, Chi Wai Cheung

Amides are an important class of organic compounds, which have widespread industrial applications. Transamidation of amides is a convenient method to generate new amides from existing ones. Tertiary amides, however, are challenging substrates for transamid ...

Interface microstructure formation of dissimilar Fe/Fe-Mn-C steel RSW joints

Léa Deillon

An experiment was developed to simulate the interface between liquid high manganese carbon steel and solid ultra-low alloyed steel in a thermal gradient, corresponding to the nugget/sheet interface of resistance spot welds. Despite the large difference in ...

Building Composite Iron-Manganese Oxide Flowerlike Nanostructures: A Detailed Magnetic Study

Davide Deiana

Here we show that it is possible to produce different magnetic core multiple shell heterostructures from monodisperse Fe3O4 spherical magnetic seeds by finely controlling the amount of a manganese precursor and using, in a smart and simple way, a cation-ex ...

Syntheses, structures and properties of cobalt and manganese complexes based on pyridine-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic acid

Chi Wai Cheung, Weijin Wang, Hong-Ling Gao

Two new complexes based on pyridine-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic acid(H(4)pdtc) as ligand, {[Co-2(pdtc)(H2O)(4)]center dot H2O}(n) (1) and {Mn-2(pdtc)(H2O)(4)}(n) (2), have been obtained by hydrothermal syntheses and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, X-r ...

Phase-based manganese enhanced MRI, a new methodology to enhance brain cytoarchitectural contrast and study manganese uptake

Rolf Gruetter, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Rajika Maddage

Purpose As the magnetic susceptibility induced frequency shift increases linearly with magnetic field strength, the present work evaluates manganese as a phase imaging contrast agent and investigates the dose dependence of brain enhancement in comparison t ...

Impact of microbial Mn oxidation on the remobilization of bioreduced U(IV)

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Kelly Lee Plathe

Effects of Mn redox cycling on the stability of bioreduced U(IV) are evaluated here. U(VI) can be biologically reduced to less soluble U(IV) species and the stimulation of biological activity to that end is a salient remediation strategy; however, the stab ...

Manganese in dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

We provide manganese abundances (corrected for the effect of the hyperfine structure) for a large number of stars in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies Sculptor and Fornax, and for a smaller number in the Carina and Sextans dSph galaxies. Abundances had already ...
