On maximal weights of Hadamard matrices

Let $\text{Ω}{}_{\mathrm{n}}$ denote the set of all Hadamard matrices of order n. For $\text{H ? Ω}{}_{\mathrm{n}}$, define the weight of H to be the number of 1's in H and is denoted by w(H). For a subset $\text{Γ ? Ω}{}_{\mathrm{n}}$, define the maximal weight of Γ as w(Γ) = max{w(H) | H?Γ}. Two Hadamard matrices are equivalent if one of them can be transformed to the other by permutation and negation of rows and columns, and the equivalence class containing H is denoted by [H]. In this paper, we shall derive lower bounds for w([H]), which are best possible for n ? 20. We shall also determine the exact value of $\text{w(Ω}{}_{32}\text{)}$.

Nonameric porphyrin assemblies--formation and intra-assembly energy transfer reactions

The nonameric porphyrin assemblies constructed with the series of free base tetraphenylporphyrins Pn having four pyrazine moieties linked with alkyl chains of different lengths, (CH2)n (n = 1, 5, 9, 17, 30), and dimeric [meso-tetrakis(2-carboxy-4-nonylphenyl)porphyrinato]zinc(II), ZnP2, show the effective light-collection effect and the typical Forster-type energy transfer from ZnP2 to Pn.     

A highly efficient asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction catalyzed by cationic chiral palladium(ii) complexes

Cationic chiral palladium(ii) complexes are shown to catalyze the asymmetric coupling reaction of aryl boronates and aryl halides within a short period of time in good yield and enantioselectivity.     

Synthesis of a Hematoside Analog Containing Phytosphingosine and α-Hydroxyfatty Acid

Abstract

The hematoside analog 1 [NeuGcα(2→3)Galβ(1→4)Glcβ(1→1)Cer], which contains a phytosphingosine as a sphingoid base and an α-hydroxyfatty acid, has been synthesized. Coupling of the methyl (methyl 5-benzyloxyacetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-α- and -β-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosid)onate 5, prepared from the corresponding 5-acetamido derivative 2, with a lactose derivative 6 afforded sialolactoside 7, which was converted to the corresponding trichloroacetimidate 10. Glycosylation of 10 with the ceramide tribenzoate 12 gave the protected hematoside analog 13, which was deprotected to the hematoside analog 1.     

Rapid Separation of Hydrophobic Compounds by UPLC: in Case of Bisindolylmaleimides, Indolocarbazoles or Fullerene C60 Derivatives

Rapid separation of hydrophobic compounds such as bisindolylmaleimides, indolocarbazoles or fullerene C₆₀ derivatives by ultra performance liquid chromatography was developed. Bisindolylmaleimides and indolocarbazoles were separated within 7 and 5 min, respectively. The linear ranges for the determination of bisindolylmaleimides and indolocarbazoles were 1.25?500 pmol and 0.5?50 pmol per injection (r > 0.99), respectively. Fullerene C₆₀ derivatives were separated within 9 min, and the linear range for the determination of fullerene C₆₀ derivatives was 0.1?10 pmol per injection (r > 0.99).
