  2. Simmons–Smith reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simmons–Smith_reaction

    The Charette modification replaces the CH 2 I 2 normally found in the Simmons–Smith reaction with aryldiazo compounds, such as phenyldiazomethane, in Pathway A. [30] Upon treatment with stoichiometric amounts of zinc halide, an organozinc compound similar to the carbenoid discussed above is produced. This can react with almost all alkenes and ...

  3. Photosystem II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem_II

    It is a metallo-oxo cluster comprising four manganese ions (in oxidation states ranging from +3 to +4) [6] and one divalent calcium ion. When it oxidizes water, producing oxygen gas and protons, it sequentially delivers the four electrons from water to a tyrosine (D1-Y161) sidechain and then to P680 itself.

  4. Organozinc chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organozinc_chemistry

    The reaction is effected with zinc. The key zinc-intermediate formed is a carbenoid (iodomethyl)zinc iodide which reacts with alkenes to afford the cyclopropanated product. The rate of forming the active zinc species is increased via ultrasonication since the initial reaction occurs at the surface of the metal.

  5. Chemiosmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiosmosis

    An ion gradient has potential energy and can be used to power chemical reactions when the ions pass through a channel (red). Hydrogen ions, or protons, will diffuse from a region of high proton concentration to a region of lower proton concentration, and an electrochemical concentration gradient of protons across a membrane can be harnessed to ...

  6. Photosynthetic reaction centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_reaction_centre

    The fact that the oxygen from green plants originated from water was first deduced by the Canadian-born American biochemist Martin David Kamen. He used a stable isotope of oxygen, 18 O, to trace the path of the oxygen from water to gaseous molecular oxygen. This reaction is catalyzed by a reactive center in Photosystem II containing four ...

  7. Single displacement reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_displacement_reaction

    A single-displacement reaction, also known as single replacement reaction or exchange reaction, is an archaic concept in chemistry. It describes the stoichiometry of some chemical reactions in which one element or ligand is replaced by atom or group. [1] [2] [3] It can be represented generically as: + +

  8. Plant communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_communication

    Plant communication encompasses communication using volatile organic compounds, electrical signaling, and common mycorrhizal networks between plants and a host of other organisms such as soil microbes, [2] other plants [3] (of the same or other species), animals, [4] insects, [5] and fungi. [6]

  9. Zinc chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_chloride

    The use of zinc chloride as a flux, sometimes in a mixture with ammonium chloride (see also Zinc ammonium chloride), involves the production of HCl and its subsequent reaction with surface oxides. Zinc chloride forms two salts with ammonium chloride: [NH 4] 2 [ZnCl 4] and [NH 4] 3 [ZnCl 4]Cl, which decompose on heating liberating HCl, just as ...
