Chemosensors for the marine toxin saxitoxin

Eleven anthracylmethyl crown ethers have been synthesized and evaluated as fluorescence sensors for the marine toxin saxitoxin. Fluorescence enhancement data are consistent with a 1:1 binding complex for all crowns. The binding constants are in the range of 10(4) M(-)(1) in ammonium phosphate buffer (pH 7.1) in 80% ethanol solvent. Selectivity for sensing saxitoxin versus several organic analytes has been demonstrated for the first time. Possible modes of binding are presented, and relevance to saxitoxin monitoring programs are discussed.     

Algebraic properties of grids of projective lines

In this paper we compute the generators, the Hilbert function, and the Hilbert polynomial of the projective closure of affine lines which are parallel to the coordinate axes and pass through a lattice of points. We also consider the Cohen-Macaulay and seminormality property of their homogeneous coordinate ring. These lines are said to form a grid.     

Stick-slip instability analysis

A theoretical investigation of friction-induced self-excited oscillations for systems with one degree of freedom is proposed. The friction force is assumed as an odd function of the relative sliding velocity with a jump discontinuity at a value of zero for the relative sliding velocity. The friction characteristic is approximated with a piecewise linear function, i.e. straight line segments with a suitable slope. For the generic system belonging to the class in question, the stick-slip instability region is located on a suitable dimensionless map.

Sommario Viene proposta un'indagine teorica sulle oscillazioni autoeccitate indotte dall'attrito per sistemi ad un grado di libertà. La forza d'attrito viene assunta come funzione dispari della velocità relativa tra le superfici accoppiate, con una discontinuità di prima specie in corrispondenza del valore nullo della velocità. La caratteristica d'attrito viene approssimata mediante una funzione lineare a tratti con segmenti di opportuna pendenza. Per il generico sistema appartenente alla classe in esame, si perviene all'individuazione, su opportuna mappa adimensionale, della regione di instabilità da stick-slip.

An ordered low‐temperature phase of barium nitro­prusside trihydrate studied by neutron diffraction

Crystals of barium penta­cyano­nitro­syl­ferrate trihydrate (barium nitro­prusside trihydrate), Ba[Fe(CN)₅(NO)]·3H₂O, have been studied by neutron diffraction in order to ex­amine the structural behaviour of the compound in the 20–120 K temperature range and to determine the structure at 105 K. The results show the existence of a new crystal phase of the compound at 80 K (with a duplicated a parameter), which still exists at 20 K. The crystal structure at 105 K shows a rearrangement of the water mol­ecules, which results in an ordered structure with P1 symmetry. Two of the four independent nitro­prusside cations are rotated by 4.5° around the [100] direction.     

Synthesis and Structural Analysis of New Palladium(II) Thiosaccharinates with Triphenylphosphane or Diphosphanes

A series of palladium(II) thiosaccharinates with triphenylphosphane (PPh₃), bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane (dppm), and bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane (dppe) have been prepared and characterized. From mixtures of thiosaccharin, Htsac, and palladium(II) acetylacetonate, Pd(acac)₂, the palladium(II) thiosaccharinate, Pd(tsac)₂ (tsac: thiosaccharinate anion) ( 1 ) was prepared. The reaction of 1 with PPh₃, dppm, and dppe leads to the mononuclear species Pd(tsac)₂(PPh₃)₂ · MeCN ( 2 ), [Pd(tsac)₂(dppm)] ( 3 ), Pd(tsac)₂(dppm)₂ ( 4 ), and [Pd(tsac)₂(dppe)] · MeCN ( 5 ). Compounds 2 , 4 , and 5 have been prepared also by the reaction of Pd(acac)₂ with the corresponding phosphane and Htsac. All the new complexes have been characterized by chemical analysis, UV/Vis, IR, and Raman spectroscopy. Some of them have been also characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The crystalline structures of complexes 3 , and 5 have been studied by X‐ray diffraction techniques. Complex 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 16.3537(2), b = 13.3981(3), c = 35.2277(7) Å, β = 91.284(1)°, and Z = 8 molecules per unit cell, and complex 5 in P2₁/n with a = 10.6445(8), b = 26.412(3), c = 15.781(2) Å, β = 107.996(7)°, and Z = 4. In compounds 3 and 5 , the palladium ions are in a distorted square planar environment. They are closely related, having two sulfur atoms of two thiosaccharinate anions, and two phosphorus atoms of one molecule of dppm or dppe, respectively, bonded to the Pd^II atom. The molecular structure of complex 3 is the first reported for a mononuclear Pd^II‐dppm‐thionate system.
