The hyperbolic n-space as a graph in Euclidean (6n−6)-space

We construct for each n2 an isometric C-imbedding HⁿE^6n–6 of the n-dim. hyperbolic space into the Euclidean space E^6n–6 whose image is the graph of a C-map RⁿR^5n–6. This generalizes a well known result of D. Blanusa 1955 (the case n=2).     

The meta-photocycloaddition of ethylvinylether to 3-methylanisole and 3-fluoroanisole

Photoaddition of ethylvinylether to 3-methylanisole yields six derivatives of 1-methoxytricyclo[3.3.0.0^2,8]oct-3-ene. Four of the adducts have the ethoxy group in an endo position. Products in which the methyl group is at position 4 are favoured. Photoaddition of ethylvinylether to 3-fluoroanisole yields three isomeric adducts, to endo and one exo.     

Determination of the quaternary compound ciclotropium in human biological material after hydrolysis and derivatization with the fluorophor flunoxaprofen chloride

The quantitative determination of the quaternary spasmolytic compound ciclotropium and its metabolite N-isopropyltropinium is described for human plasma and urine. The analytical procedure consists of ion-pair extraction from biological material, alkaline hydrolysis, subsequent derivatization with the fluorophor flunoxaprofen chloride and separation by high-performance liquid chromatography on a reversed-phase column with fluorimetric monitoring. The detection limits of 0.5 ng/ml in plasma and 10 ng/ml in urine at signal-to-noise ratios higher than 3 permit the determination of pharmacokinetic parameters after therapeutic doses.     

THE USE OF INTERNALIZABLE DERIVATIVES OF CHLORIN E6 FOR INCREASING ITS PHOTOSENSITIZING ACTIVITY

Experiments with human hepatoma PLC/PRF/5 cells and human embryo skin fibroblasts involving the use of three different tests (colony formation, Trypan blue exclusion, labeled thymidine incorporation) have demonstrated a significantly higher photosensitizing activity of chlorin e₆ conjugates with internalizable ligands as compared to that of chlorin e₆ itself. Receptor-mediated internalization of chlorin e₆ conjugates ensures a greater photosensitization of cells than binding of those conjugates to cell surface receptors. The suitability of such conjugates that permit the delivery of a photosensitizer to sensitive intracellular targets is discussed.     

Die molekül- und kristallstruktur von thallium-tris(bistrimethylsilylamin), Tl[N(SiMe3)2]3

The molecular and crystal structure of tris(bistrimethylsilylamin)thallium was determined by means of single-crystal X-ray spectroscopy: in the space group P$\text{3}$1c with a = 16.447(7), c = 8.456(7) Å; and D_c = 1.149 g cm^?3 two molecules are located in the unit cell. The compound is isomorphous to the analogues Fe[N(SiMe₃)₂]₃ or Al[N(SiMe₃)₂]₃, respectively, which show a propellar-twist of the Si₂N-groups versus the plane of the metal atom and the three nitrogen-atoms: Tl(N)₃/Si₂N 49.1°; SiNSi 122.6°; NSiC 111.8°; CSiC 107.1°; TlN 2.089 Å;; SiN 1.738 Å;; $\text{SiC}$ 1.889 Å;.     

Kristallstruktur und Pseudosymmetrie einer neuen Modifikation von Kaliumhexachloroniobat(V), KNbCl6. Anmerkungen zur kubischen Phase

Crystal Structure and Pseudosymmetry of a New Modification of Potassium Hexachloroniobate(V), KNbCl₆. Comments on the Cubic Phase Long needles of KNbCl₆ – invariably twinned around [100] – are obtained if the material is crystallized from SOCl₂ solution. The structure has been determined from X-ray data collected with a single-crystal diffractometer at room temperature [space group P2₁/n, Z = 16, a = 6.894(1), b = 22.073(4), c = 23.337(3) Å, β = 91.00(1)°, R = 0.032 for 2 909 unique reflexions, 290 structural parameters]. Distorted NbCl₆^? octahedra and ?interstitial’? K⁺ ions are found to form similar arrangements, each of them corresponding to a closest packing of spheres with the layer sequence ACAB (stacking symbol hc). The resulting asymmetry in coordination by potassium is coupled with a strong off-centre displacement of the Nb atoms in any of the four independent chlorine polyhedra (0.14 Å on average). A pronounced pseudosymmetry accounts for the twinning. Since P2₁/m2₁/n2₁/b (no. 62) is already a good approximation of the real structure, only one formal step of symmetry reduction (index t2) is needed to create both, the observed twin law and the actual space group P1 2₁/n1. Above 180°C a reconstructive phase transition leads to the ‘face-centred cubic’ modification with ～ 10% lower density.
