Sonochemie Über den Einfluß von Ultraschall auf einige Siloxane

Sonochemistry The Influence of Ultrasound on some Siloxanes Ultrasound impact on some cyclo-methylsiloxanes (e. g. Si₃O₃Me₆ and Si₄O₄Me₈ (Me = CH₃)) in the presence of the lewis acid AlCl₃ show ring enlargement in the case of Si₃O₃Me₆. Si₄O₄Me₈ however leads under the same conditions besides ring enlargement to ring fission and formation of catena-dichloromethylsiloxanes. Perchlorosiloxanes do not react under the same conditions.     

Über den Einfluß von Temperatur und Fremdionen auf Eigenschaften und Bau der Natriumwasserglaslösungen

The Influence of Temperature and Impurities Addition on the Properties and the Constitution of Sodium Water Glass Solutions Sodium water glass (NaWG-)solutions of constant composition (SiO₂/Na₂O = 3,3; C_SiO2 = 6,2 M) and different concentration of impurities (Fe, Al, Ti, Cu, chloride, sulfate) were investigated in dependence on temperature by means of the dye absorption method, ¹H- and ²³Na-NMR spectroscopy. It is shown, that the differences in the dye absorption spectra of normalized technical NaWG-solutions, mainly depend on the Fe-concentration in the solutions and their thermal history. From the results follow a crosslinking of polymeric silicate species by Fe? O? Si bonds and/or hydrogen bridges and a fully or partially degradation of these bonds at higher temperatures (150°C).     

Über den Einfluß von Substitution auf die Kristallstruktur von SrNi2P2

About the Effect of Substitution on the Crystal Structure of SrNi₂P₂ With several series of mixed crystals the effect of substitution on the crystal structure of SrNi₂P₂ (polymorphic, the structures are variants of the ThCr₂Si₂ type) is investigated by X-ray methods. In the compound Ni completely can be substituted by Co and Cu respectively and also P by As; in Sr_1–xCa_xNi₂P₂ there is a gap of the miscibility between 0.3 ≤ x ≤ 0.6. A low substitution of the several elements more than proportionally changes the structure parameters. In this range the mixed crystals with Ca, Cu, and As, respectively, undergo first order phase transitions with significant changes of the bond distances, which will be interpreted by the results of band structure calculations.     

The Thioesterase of the Erythromycin-Producing Polyketide Synthase: Influence of Acyl Chain Structure on the Mode of Release of Substrate Analogues from the Acyl Enzyme Intermediates

The production of genetically engineered polyketides depends critically on thioesterase activity for product release. In vitro studies with the thioesterase from the erythromycin polyketide synthase (PKS) have demonstrated that the ability of this enzyme to act as a universal decoupler is limited, but stereochemical variation is readily tolerated. Synthetic analogues with all four stereochemical configurations of the natural substrate's 2-methyl-3-hydroxy substitution pattern ( 1 – 4 ; X=p-nitrophenoxy) were substrates for the enzyme.     

Über den Einfluß von Kristallkeimen auf die Bildung von Silicaten der Zusammensetzung 3 CaO · 2 SiO2

On the Influence of Seed Crystals on the Formation of Calcium Silicates with the Composition 3 CaO · 2 SiO₂ The formation of the calcium silicates kilchoanite and rankinite of the composition 3 CaO · 2 SiO₂ is facilitated and enabled, respectively, in the presence of appropriate seed crystals. Kilchoanite (Ca₆[(SiO₄)(Si₃O₁₀)]) is formed from mixtures of CaO and SiO₂ in the autoclave at 200°C and from C? S? H (di, poly) under normal atmosphere at 700°C by seeding for example with kilchoanite, aluminium compounds, γ-Ca₂SiO₄. Rankinite (Ca₃Si₂O₇) can be synthesized under the same conditions, when rankinite itself is applied as seed crystal.     

Der Einfluß der Koordinationssphäre von Samarocenen auf die Synthese von flüssigkristallinen Polymethacrylaten

The Influence of the Coordination Sphere of Samarocenes on the Synthesis of Liquid Crystalline Polymethacrylates (C₅Me₅)₂Sm(THF)₂ ( 1 ) reacts with 1,3‐Diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazoline‐2‐ylidene C₃N₂Me₂iPr₂ (iPr‐carben) with formation of (C₅Me₅)₂Sm(iPr‐carben) ( 3 ). The reaction of (C₅Me₄Et)₂Sm(THF)₂ ( 2 ) with Al₂Me₆ in toluene yields [(C₅Me₄Et)₂Sm(CH₃)Al(CH₃)₃]₂ ( 6 ). 3 and 6 were characterized by single crystal X‐ray structure analysis. Via living polymerization of mesogenic methacrylates with the organosamarium complexes 1 , 2 , 3 , (C₅Me₅)₂Sm(C₃H₅) ( 4 ), (C₅Me₅)₂Sm(CH₃)(THF) ( 5 ), 6 , and (C₅Me₄Et)₂SmCH(SiMe₃)₂ ( 7 ), liquid crystalline homo‐ and blockcopolymers were obtained with narrow molecular mass distribution indexes in high yield. Partial competitive mechanisms are observed dependend of the structure of the catalyst and the polarity of the solvents.
