Theoretical studies on the conformation of saccharides

Conformations of 2-methoxytetrahydropyran as a model for the six-membered ring in aldopyranosides have been calculated by the PCILO method using the algorithm of the conjugated gradient to optimize the geometry. The calculated geometry of the fourteen basic forms of 2-methoxytetrahydropyran was found to be in agreement with the available data obtained by X-ray diffraction of pyranosides. The results indicate differences in the geometry of 2-methoxytetrahydropyran resulting from the change of the axial vs. equatorial position of the methoxyl group. These changes are particularly meaningful in the values of bond angles and they are in agreement with the anomeric and exoanomeric effects.

An efficient ab initio gradient program

An ab initio Hartree-Fock gradient program is described. It is characterized by (1) efficiency of the gradient evaluation, and (2) capability of handling higher angular momentum (d andf) basis functions. The latter are constructed from shifted Cartesian Gaussian p-type primitives. A satisfactory solution is presented for the problems connected with the neglect of small integrals in a gradient program. Methods for increasing the efficiency of the SCF procedure are discussed.     

明胶中α组分含量对明胶/羟基磷灰石复合材料力学性能的影响

选用α组分含量分别为20.5%,41%和50%的A、B、C 3种明胶作为原料,采用同时加入法制备了明胶/羟基磷灰石(HAP)复合材料.通过对干态复合物膜拉伸性能的测试和对比,发现,明胶α组分含量的变化对复合材料的弹性模量影响较大,而对拉伸强度和断裂伸长率的影响则相对较小,但总的来说,三者均随α组分含量的增加而增大.其中,α组分含量最高的复合物C的拉伸强度为86.40 MPa,弹性模量为2682.35 MPa,断裂伸长率为8.65%.另外,对复合物C基本性质的表征结果表明,该材料具有类似于自然骨的组成和结构性质,因此有望成为一种具有优异力学性能的骨替代材料.

Methyl trifluoropyruvate in the Pictet-Spengler reaction

Condensation of methyl trifluoropyruvate with 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethylamine, tryptamine, and (D, L)-tryptophan yielded 1-methoxycarbonyl-1-trifluoromethyl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, 1-methoxycarbonyl-1-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole, and Z-1-methoxycarbonyl-1-trifluoromethyl-3-carboxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole, respectively. The Z configuration of the latter was determined by x-ray structural analysis.A. N. Nesmayanov Institute of Organoelemental Compounds, Russian Academy of Sciences, 117813 Moscow, Russia.

Moment characterization of localized orbitals

The parallel between orbital first and second electric moments and statistical first and second central moments is noted. Three measures of orbital spatial distribution in terms of their moments are proposed, and applied to the LMO's in a series of ten-electron hydrides. Consistent differences between bond and lone pair distributions are found. Using the statistical interpretation, for each LMO an content/h4254knv32062716/xxlarge8220.gif" alt="ldquo" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">effectivecontent/h4254knv32062716/xxlarge8221.gif" alt="rdquo" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"> solid angle around the central atom is postulated.
