2-(2-Thiazolylazo)-5-methoxyphenol (TAMR) and 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-4-methoxyphenol (TAMH) are shown to be good indicators for the titration of many metal ions with EDTA. TAMH is better and more widely applicable than TAMR. The acid dissociation constants have been determined by spectrophotometry.

1-(Fluoren-2-yl)-2-(2-azafluoren-3-yl)ethene and 1-(fluoren-2-yl)-2-(2H,2-methylindeno[2,3-c]pyridine)ethene

Condensation of 3-methyl-2-azafluorene with 2-formylfluorene results in the formation of a compound containing a polyconjugated system and two acidic CH centers, namely, 1-(fluoren-2-yl)-2-(2-azafluoren-3-yl)ethene. The conversions of this compound upon treatment with alkali have been studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy. The methyl iodide derivative of this base was used as an intermediate in the preparation of a pseudo-azulene, 1-(fluoren-2-yl)-2-(2H, 2-methylindeno[2,3-c]pyridine)ethene.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii No. 5, pp. 657–659, May, 1987.     

A theoretical study on 1-(thiophen-2-yl-methyl)-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole

The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies of 1-(thiophen-2-yl-methyl)-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole (C(16)H(12)N(2)S(2)) in the ground state has been calculated using the Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-31G(d) basis set. The optimized geometric bond lengths and bond angles obtained by using HF and DFT (B3LYP) show the best agreement with the experimental data. Comparison of the observed fundamental vibrational frequencies of 1-(thiophen-2-yl-methyl)-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole (C(16)H(12)N(2)S(2)) and calculated results by density functional B3LYP and Hartree-Fock methods indicate that B3LYP is superior to the scaled Hartree-Fock approach for molecular vibrational problems.     

2'-O-[2-(amino)-2-oxoethyl] oligonucleotides

[structure: see text] Oligonucleotides with novel modifications, 2'-O-[2-(amino)-2-oxoethyl] (2'-O-NAc), 2'-O-[2-(methylamino)-2-oxoethyl] (2'-O-NMAc), 2'-O-[2-(dimethylamino)-2-oxoethyl] (2'-O-DMAc), and 2'-O-[2-[[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amino]-2-oxoethyl] (2'-O-DMAEAc), have been synthesized.

Complexation of uranium by 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-4-methoxyphenol and 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-5-methoxyphenol

A comparative study has been made of the complexation of uranium(VI) by 2-(2-thiazolyl)-4-methoxyphenol (TAMH) and 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-5-methoxyphenol(TAMR). The complexes are less stable and have lower molar absorptivities than the PAR and TAR complexes but are still useful for determination of uranium. The TAMH chelate can be extracted into isobutyl methyl ketone. Both complexes are 1:1 metal :ligand. For the TAMH complex log beta(1) = 8.8, = 1.4 x 10(4) at 610 mmu; for the TAMR complex log beta(1) = 8.1, = 2.0 x 10(4) at 530 mmu.     

Small gas-phase dianions of Zn3O(4)(2-), Zn4O(5)(2-), CuZn2O(4)(2-), Si2GeO(6)(2-), Ti2O(5)(2-) and Ti3O(7)(2-)

We have searched for new species of small oxygen-containing gas-phase dianions produced in a secondary ion mass spectrometer by Cs+ ion bombardment of solid samples with simultaneous exposure of their surfaces to O2 gas. The targets were a pure zinc metal foil, a copper-contaminated zinc-based coin, two silicon-germanium samples (Si(1-x)Ge(x)(with x= 6.5% or 27%)) and a piece of titanium metal. The novel dianions Zn3O(4)(2-), Zn4O(5)(2-), CuZn2O(4)(2-), Si2GeO(6)(2-), Ti2O(5)(2-) and Ti3O(7)(2-) have been observed at half-integer m/z values in the negative ion mass spectra. The heptamer dianions Zn3O(4)(2-) and Ti2O(5)(2-) have been unambiguously identified by their isotopic abundances. Their flight times through the mass spectrometer are approximately 20 micros and approximately 17 micros, respectively. The geometrical structures of the two heptamer dianions Ti2O(5)(2-), and Zn3O(4)(2-) are investigated using ab initio methods, and the identified isomers are compared to those of the novel Ge2O(5)(2-) and the known Si2O(5)(2-) and Be3O(4)(2-) dianions.
