First alkyl radical additions to (eta(6)-arene)tricarbonylmanganese complexes

[reaction: see text] Reactions of alkylmercury chlorides with arene manganese tricarbonyl complexes in the presence of NaI led to the formation of the addition-reduction products. The mechanism was postulated to be the alkyl radical addition to ArMn(CO)3+ cation to form the corresponding 17 valence electron intermediate, which was then reduced by alkylmercury chloride via a singlet electron transfer process to afford the product and regenerate an alkyl radical.

Molecularly imprinted sol-gel nanotubes membrane for biochemical separations

In this study, we report a simple procedure for applying molecular imprinting functional groups to the inner surfaces of the template-synthesized sol-gel nanotubes for chemical separation of estrone. The silica nanotubes were synthesized within the pores of nanopore alumina template membranes using a sol-gel method by simultaneous hydrolysis of a silica monomer-imprinted molecule complex and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). A covalent imprinting strategy was employed by generating a sacrificial spacer through the reaction of the isocyanate group of 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate and a phenol moiety of estrone to form a thermally cleavable urethane bond. This allowed us to remove the imprinted estrone by simple thermal reaction and to simultaneously introduce functional groups into the cavity formed by the silica nanotubes. Experiments indicated that estrone could be bound selectively by such an approach and have a binding affinity of 864 +/- 137 (n = 3).     

An efficient method for constructing nonorthogonal localized molecular orbitals

A new method for constructing nonorthogonal localized molecular orbitals (NOLMOs) is presented. The set of highly localized NOLMOs is obtained by minimization of the spread functional starting from an initial set of canonical orthogonal molecular orbitals. To enhance the stability and efficiency, the centroids of the NOLMOs are constrained to be those of the corresponding orthogonal localized molecular orbitals (OLMOs), which are obtained with the Boys criterion in advance. In particular, these centroid constraints make the optimization for each NOLMO independent of the others, which is an attractive feature for application to large systems. The minimization with the constraints incorporated through the multiplier-penalty function method is stable and efficient in convergence. While exhibiting the classical bonding pattern in chemistry and sharing a spatial distribution similar to that of the corresponding OLMOs, the obtained NOLMOs are more compact than the corresponding OLMOs with about 10%-28% reduction in the value of the spread functional and devoid of the troublesome "orthogonalization tails."     

Breakup of a Multiple Emulsion Drop in a Uniform Electric Field

The steady deformation and breakup of emulsion drops in a uniform electric field are considered experimentally. Due to the low volume fraction of inner drops, the emulsions can be effectively assumed as Newtonian fluids with spatial nonuniformity. The measurements of the electrical properties show that the oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion drop behaves like a conducting drop. On the other hand, the water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion drops can be regarded as inhomogeneous leaky dielectric drops. It is found that the viscosity ratio is not an important parameter within the small deformation limit and breakup mode of the o/w emulsion drops. In the case of w/o emulsion drops, however, the breakup mode depends on the viscosity ratio. Inherent nonuniformity of the emulsion drops makes drop more deformable and unstable. The tip-streaming is the dominant breakup mode of o/w emulsion drops when the nonuniformity of drop phase is appreciable. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Asymmetric Diels-Alder Reactions of Chiral Menthyl α-Sulfinylacrylates

Introducing two chiral auxiliaries, sulfoxide and menthol, into an acrylate would have either matched or mismatched pair systems. The presence of chiral menthol in α-sulfinylacrylates can change the diastereoselectivity from 24% d.e. to a single diastereomer by manipulation of the double asymmetric strategy.
