Über lokalarchimedische Anordnungen projektiver Ebenen

The question, whether the Archimedean ordering of only one of the ternary rings of a projective plane implies that is Archimedean, i.e. that every ternary ring of is Archimedean, is answered in the negative by the construction of local-Archimedean orderings of free planes. There exists even Archimedean affine planes with non-Archimedean associated projective planes.     

Equivalence of functional-differential equations of neutral type and abstract Cauchy problems

Equivalence of functional-differential equations of neutral type to well-posed abstract Cauchy problems in the state spaces ⁿ }L ^p ,L ^p resp.C is investigated. The assumptions allow non-atomic difference operators.This work was supported by the Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (Austria) under Grant No. P4534.Work done by this author was done during a stay at the University of Graz from October 1981 till April 1984.     

A Mets motif peptide found in copper transport proteins selectively binds Cu(I) with methionine-only coordination

Mets motifs, which refer to methionine-rich sequences found in the high-affinity copper transporter Ctr1, also appear in other proteins involved in copper trafficking and homeostasis, including other Ctrs as well as Pco and Cop proteins isolated from copper-resistant bacteria. To understand the coordination chemistry utilized by these proteins, we studied the copper binding properties of a peptide labeled Mets7-PcoC with the sequence Met-Thr-Gly-Met-Lys-Gly-Met-Ser. By comparing this sequence to a series of mutants containing noncoordinating norleucine in place of methionine, we confirm that all three methionine residues are involved in a thioether-only binding site that is selective for Cu(I). Two independent methods, one based on mass spectrometry and one based on rate differences for the copper-catalyzed oxidation of ascorbic acid, provide an effective K(D) of approximately 2.5 microM at pH 4.5 for the 1:1 complex of Mets7-PcoC with Cu(I). These results establish that a relatively simple peptide containing an MX(2)MX(2)M motif is sufficient to bind Cu(I) with an affinity that corresponds well with its proposed biological function of extracellular copper acquisition.     

Tetramethylammonium-calcium-triazid. Darstellung und Kristallstruktur

[N(CH₃)₄]Ca(N₃)₃,M=240.29, was prepared from aqueous solutions of tetramethylammoniumazide with calciumazide at 298 K. The crystals are tetragonala=936.6(7) pm,c=694.7(5)pm, space group P4/nmm,Z=2, (x)=1.31Mgm^–3. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction (234 Mo-K-reflections, =0.469 mm^–1,R=0.064). Calcium is octahedrally coordinated to six azide groups. The octahedra are connected via azide groups to a threedimensional array with the complex ammonium ions between. The terminal nitrogen atoms of the azide groups and the methyl groups are considerably disordered.

     

Phase diagram of softly repulsive systems: the Gaussian and inverse-power-law potentials

We redraw, using state-of-the-art methods for free-energy calculations, the phase diagrams of two reference models for the liquid state: the Gaussian and inverse-power-law repulsive potentials. Notwithstanding the different behaviors of the two potentials for vanishing interparticle distances, their thermodynamic properties are similar in a range of densities and temperatures, being ruled by the competition between the body-centered-cubic (bcc) and face-centered-cubic (fcc) crystalline structures and the fluid phase. We confirm the existence of a reentrant bcc phase in the phase diagram of the Gaussian-core model, just above the triple point. We also trace the bcc-fcc coexistence line of the inverse-power-law model as a function of the power exponent n and relate the common features in the phase diagrams of such systems to the softness degree of the interaction.     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of [Mn(ethyl isonicotinate)(2)(N(3))(2)](n)(), a Two-Dimensional Alternating Ferromagnetic-Antiferromagnetic Compound. Magnetostructural Correlations for the End-to-End Pseudohalide-Manganese System

Three compounds with formula [Mn(L)(2)(N(3))(2)](n)(), in which L is 4-acpy = 4-acetylpyridine (1), Etinc = ethyl isonicotinate (2), and py = pyridine (3), have been studied from the magnetic point of view. The new compound [Mn(L)(2)(N(3))(2)](n)() (2) crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/a (No. 14), formula [C(16)H(18)MnN(8)O(4)], with a = 15.176(5) ?, b = 9.060(3) ?, c = 15.760(6) ?, beta = 111.62(3) degrees, and Z = 4. Compounds 1 and 2 are two-dimensional systems, whereas 3 is a 3-D compound. Compound 2 shows ferromagnetic Mn(2)(N(3))(2) dimeric entities linked antiferromagnetically to the four neighboring dimeric entities by four end-to-end azido bridges, leading to an alternate ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic two-dimensional compound. MO calculations have been performed to study the superexchange pathway for the manganese 1,3-azido system.

Non-K-region $\text{o}$-quinones of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are prepared in four steps from cyclic ketones via dehydrogenation of tetrahydrodiols with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 26. Mitt.: Zur anaeroben Photochemie von Gallenpigmenten: Die Lumineszenz von Gallenpigment-Partialstruktursystemen und integralen Farbstoffen

The luminescence properties of about twentyfive model compounds representing the three main partial structures of bile pigments (namely pyrromethenes, pyrromethenones and methylenepyrrolylmethylenepyrrolinones) as well as tripyrrines and the geometrical isomers of aetiobiliverdin-IV- are reported. In these compounds there is usually only a very faint or even no fluorescence and phosphorescene as the pathway of deexcitation. Vibrational internal conversion and photoisomerizations at the exocyclic double bonds are the main anaerobic paths of radiationless decay of the excited states.

Variaminblau als colorimetrisches Reagens

Zusammenfassung Es wurde ein colorimetrisches Verfahren mit Variaminblau zur Bestimmung von Fe³⁺, Cr⁶⁺, Mn⁷⁺, V⁵⁺, Ag⁺, JO₃ ^–, J₂ und weiterer oxydierender Ionen entwickelt. Äquivalente Mengen dieser Ionen geben dieselbe Extinktion, so daß eine einzige Vergleichslösung zur Auswertung der Extinktionen aller Ionen genügend ist. Es werden die günstigsten Umstände für die Bestimmungen entwickelt, weiter wird ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Fe^III, Mn^VII, Cr^VI, V^V nebeneinander beschrieben.
