START in a Five-Dimensional Conformal Domain

In this paper we give a brief review of the pseudo-Riemannian geometry of the five-dimensional homogeneous space for the conformal group O(4, 2). Its topology is described and its relation to the conformally compactified Minkowski space is discussed. Its metric and geodesics are calculated using a generalized half-space representation. Compactification via Lie-sphere geometry is outlined. Possible applications to Jaime Keller’s START theory may follow by using its predecessor - the 5-optics of Yu. B. Rumer. The point of view of Rumer is given extensively in the last section of the paper.     

A new synthetic approach to 5-dethia-4-methyl-5-oxacephems

Starting from (l)-ethyl lactate and 4-vinyloxy-azetidin-2-one the diastereomeric (4S,6R)- and (4S,6S)-4-methyl-5-oxa-3-methylene and 3-oxo-cephams were obtained. The formation of the cepham skeleton proceeds with a diastereomeric excess up to 80%, depending on catalyst and reaction conditions. For comparison, the corresponding racemic cephams lacking a methyl at C-4 or with a gem-dimethyl group at C-4 were synthesized.

A New Look at Molecular and Electronic Structure of Homoleptic Diiron(II,II) Complexes with N,N-Bidentate Ligands: Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study

Paddlewheel-type binuclear complexes featuring metal−metal bonding have been the subject of widespread interest due to fundamental concern in their electronic structures and potential applications. Here, we explore the molecular and electronic structures of diiron(II,II) complexes with N,N’-diarylformamidinate ligands. While a paddlewheel-type diiron(II,II) complex with N,N’-diphenylformamidinate ligands (DPhF) exhibits the centrosymmetric [Fe₂(μ-DPhF)₄] structure, a minor alteration in the ligand system, i. e., switching from phenyl to p-tolyl N-substituted formamidinate ligand (DTolF), resulted in the isolation of an unprecedented non-centrosymmetric [Fe(μ-DTolF)₃Fe(κ²-DTolF)] complex. Both complexes were characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements, ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry along with high-level ab-initio calculations. The results provide a new view on a range of factors controlling the ground-state electronic configuration and structural diversity of homoleptic diiron(II,II) complexes. Model calculations determined that the Mayer bond orders for Fe−Fe interactions are significantly lower than 1 and equal to 0.15 and 0.28 for [Fe₂(μ-DPhF)₄] and [Fe(μ-DTolF)₃Fe(κ²-DTolF)], respectively.     

Catalytic Light-Triggered Reduction Promoted by a Dithienylethene Derivative

A pyridinium substituted dithienylethene derivative was used for the first time as an efficient photoreducing agent of two different substrates. This reaction exhibits high catalytic yields due to the continuous regeneration of the initial state of the photochromic molecule.     

Towards a New Family of Photoluminescent Organozinc 8‐Hydroxyquinolinates with a High Propensity to Form Noncovalent Porous Materials

We report on investigations of reactions of tBu₂Zn with 8‐hydroxyquinoline (q‐H) and the influence of water on the composition and structure of the final product. A new synthetic approach to photoluminescent zinc complexes with quinolinate ligands was developed that allowed the isolation of a series of structurally diverse and novel alkylzinc 8‐hydroxyquinolate complexes: the trinuclear alkylzinc aggregate [tBuZn(q)]₃ ( 1₃ ), the pentanuclear oxo cluster [(tBu)₃Zn₅(μ₄‐O)(q)₅] ( 2 ), and the tetranuclear hydroxo cluster [Zn(q)₂]₂[tBuZn(OH)]₂ ( 3 ). All compounds were characterized in solution by ¹H NMR, IR, UV/Vis, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and in the solid state by X‐ray diffraction, TGA, and PL studies. Density functional theory calculations were also carried out for these new Zn^II complexes to rationalize their luminescence behavior. A detailed analysis of the supramolecular structures of 2 and 3 shows that the unique shape of the corresponding single molecules leads to the formation of extended 3D networks with 1D open channels. Varying the stoichiometry, shape, and supramolecular structure of the resulting complexes leads to changes in their spectroscopic properties. The close‐packed crystal structure of 1₃ shows a redshifted emission maximum in comparison to the porous crystal structure of 2 and the THF‐solvated structure of 3 .     

Relative Entropy in Determining Degressive Proportional Allocations

The principle of degressively proportional apportionment of goods, being a compromise between equality and proportionality, facilitates the application of many different allocation rules. Agents with smaller entitlements are more interested in an allocation that is as close to equality as possible, while those with greater entitlements prefer an allocation as close to proportionality as possible. Using relative entropy to quantify the inequity of allocation, this paper indicates an allocation that neutralizes these two contradictory approaches by symmetrizing the inequities perceived by the smallest and largest agents participating in the apportionment. First, based on some selected properties, the set of potential allocation rules was reduced to those generated by power functions. Then, the existence of the power function whose exponent is determined so as to generate the allocation that symmetrizes the relative entropy with respect to equal and proportional allocations was shown. As a result, all agents of the apportionment are more inclined to accept the proposed allocation regardless of the size of their entitlements. The exponent found in this way shows the significant relationship between the problem under study and the well-known Theil indices of inequality. The problem may also be seen from this viewpoint.     

Study of heating effect and acoustic properties of dextran stabilized magnetic fluid

This paper presents acoustic properties of water-based biocompatible fluids in which magnetite particles (Fe₃O₄) were coated with two layers of surfactants: sodium oleate and dextran. The attenuation coefficient of ultrasonic wave measurements shows good structural stability of the fluid under the influence of a magnetic field. Hyperthermic tests proved that the magnetic fluid is suitable for therapeutic use as an agent which can release thermal energy (hyperthermia).
