Triterpenoid Saponins from Luculia pincia Hook

Two new triterpenoid saponins, cincholic acid-3-O-β-D-xylopyranoside, 28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (I), quinovic acid28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (4), and a new phenolic glucoside, 4-[4‘‘-O-( 2‘‘, 3‘‘, 5‘‘, 6‘‘-tetrahydroxy phenyl)-β-D-glucoside]-l-butene (2), along with five known triterpenoid saponins and one phenolic glucoside were isolated from the n-butanol fraction of the stems of Luculia pinciana Hook. Their structures were established by means of spectroscopic methods.     

CO2 diffusivity in LiY and NaY faujasite systems: a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and quasi-elastic neutron scattering experiments

Quasi-elastic Neutron Scattering combined with Molecular Dynamics simulations have been carried out to gain further insight into the CO₂ dynamics in LiY and NaY Faujasites. In both materials, it was pointed out that the transport diffusivity (D_T) increases with the loading whereas the self diffusivity (D_S) decreases. In addition, it was shown that LiY exhibits a significant slower CO₂ self diffusivity process due to a strong interaction between the Li⁺ cation and the adsorbate molecules at the initial stage of diffusion. This result is consistent with higher simulated activation energy in this cation exchanged faujasite form. By contrast, the transport diffusivity is revealed to be slightly faster in LiY than in NaY.

Chaotic Expansion of Elements of the Universal Enveloping Algebra of a Lie Algebra Associated with a Quantum Stochastic Calculus

The functional Ito formula, in the form df() = f( + d ) –f(),is formulated and proved in the context of a Lie algebra L associatedwith a quantum (non-commutative) stochastic calculus. Here fis an element of the universal enveloping algebra U of L, andf() + d() – f() is given a meaning using the coproductstructure of U even though the individual terms of this expressionhave no meaning. The Ito formula is equivalent to a chaoticexpansion formula for f() which is found explicitly. 1991 MathematicsSubject Classification: primary 81S25; secondary 60H05; tertiary18B25.     

Ab initio calculation of the potential functions for internal rotation around the CS bonds in simple ethene thiols

Ab initio calculations with complete geometry optimisation have been used to study internal rotation in compounds of the type XCH = CHSH, X = CN, H, CH₃ and F, with X located trans to the sulphur atom. Potential functions for the CS torsion have been obtained for each case and it has been established that the dominant framework changes accompanying internal rotation in these molecules involve the CCS angle and CS bond length. Furthermore, it has been shown that the nature of the substituent X significantly affects the molecular conformation of the SH group. The observed trends are discussed in terms of a simple model.     

Internal Rotation in Simple Ethenols

Internal rotation in the compounds XCH=CHOH, X= CN, H and F, with the group X located trans to the oxygen atom has been studied using ab initio computational techniques with complete geometry optimisation. The relaxation of the molecular framework accompanying the torsional vibration is described and the significant changes in the internal rotation function around the C---O bond which arise upon changing the group X discussed.

The structure of the syn rotamer of ethenol itself, calculated with a variety of basis sets, is compared with the experimental geometry.     

The influence of basis set on the ab initio prediction of internal rotation barrier heights in ethene thiol

In this report the effects of basis set size and electron correlation on the internal rotation barrier heights in ethene thiol are investigated and compared with experimental data. At all levels of theory reasonable agreement is obtained for the barrier tosyn/anti rotation (experimental value: 9.6 kJ/mol), however, theanti barrier (experimental value: 0.14 kJ/mol) is consistently overestimated by approximately a factor of 10. A comparison of ab initio predictions of torsional energy distributions and rotational constant variations as a function of torsional state with the corresponding experimental quantities is presented.     

Cation mobility upon adsorption of methanol in NaY faujasite type zeolite: A molecular dynamics study compared to dielectric relaxation experiments

Molecular Dynamics simulations have been carried out to address the question of cation migration upon adsorption of methanol in NaY Faujasite system as a function of the loading. It has been shown that at low and intermediate loadings, SII cations can migrate toward the center of the supercage due strong interaction with the adsorbates, followed by hopping of SI' cations from the sodalite cage into the supercage to fill vacant SII sites. SI cations mainly remain trapped in their initial sites whatever the loading. At higher loading, only limited motion is observed for SII cations due to steric effects induced by the adsorbates within the supercage. These simulated results are in good agreement with those extracted by Complex Impedance Spectroscopy measurements, which provided the evolution of the number of extraframework cations in the different crystallographic sites as a function of the treatment temperature.
