An oxo‐centred trinuclear FeIII complex: tri­aqua­hexakis(μ2‐betaine‐O:O′)‐μ3‐oxo‐triiron(III) bis­(tetra­chloro­manganate) trichloride ­hexahydrate

The title compound, [Fe₃(C₅H₁₁NO₂)₆O(H₂O)₃](MnCl₄)₂Cl₃·6H₂O, contains a triiron core linked by a μ₃‐bridging oxide ion. Each of the iron(III) ions has a distorted octahedral environment, being coordinated, in addition to the oxide ion, by four neutral betaine mol­ecules and one water mol­ecule. The N‐alkyl­ated α‐amino acid betaine is present in the dipolar zwitterionic form and chelates pairs of Fe atoms at the vertices of the triangular [Fe₃O]⁷⁺ ionic core. The Fe complex has a crystallographically imposed D3 symmetry. The water mol­ecules fully exhaust their potential as hydrogen donors, forming a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network in planes parallel to (001).     

Dimer Formation in 4-Benzyl-5-Methoxymethyl-3-Methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-Pyrrole-2-Carboxylic Acid Benzyl Ester

Abstract A new substituted pyrrole, a precursor of meso-free-porphyrins, has been synthesised and characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: monoclinic, P2₁/c with a = 14.607(9) ?, b = 5.136(2) ?, c = 25.832(17) ?, β = 108.14(5)°, Mr = 349.41, V = 1841.6(18) ?³, Z = 4. The molecules are assembled in centrosymmetric dimers via strong N–H...O hydrogen bonds. The dimers are gathered into chains via C–H...π intermolecular interactions. Graphical abstract The molecules in 4-benzyl-5-methoxymethyl-3-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid benzyl ester are joined in dimmers by strong hydrogen bonds. The dimmers are aggregated in chains running along the b axis through C-H...?€ intermoleculear interactions.

Search for isovector giant monopole resonances via the Pb(3He,tp) reaction

The (nat)Pb(3He,tp) reaction at E(3He) = 177 MeV was studied to identify 2Planck's over 2piomega isovector monopole strength in Bi isotopes. Monopole strength was found in the region -45相似文献   

Analogy between unconventional superconductivity and unconventional states of liquid crystals

An analogy is stressed between the order-parameter symmetries of the two-dimensional d-pairing wave superconductors and of liquid-crystal mesophases formed from achiral bent-shaped molecules. It leads to a definition of a class of liquid-crystal states which are the analogs of the unconventional superconducting states, and are characterized by a loss of discrete symmetry operations of the parent state.     

Creatine kinase B deficient neurons exhibit an increased fraction of motile mitochondria

Background  

Neurons require an elaborate system of intracellular transport to distribute cargo throughout axonal and dendritic projections. Active anterograde and retrograde transport of mitochondria serves in local energy distribution, but at the same time also requires input of ATP. Here we studied whether brain-type creatine kinase (CK-B), a key enzyme for high-energy phosphoryl transfer between ATP and CrP in brain, has an intermediary role in the reciprocal coordination between mitochondrial motility and energy distribution. Therefore, we analysed the impact of brain-type creatine kinase (CK-B) deficiency on transport activity and velocity of mitochondria in primary murine neurons and made a comparison to the fate of amyloid precursor protein (APP) cargo in these cells, using live cell imaging.     

Critical petermann K factor for intensity noise squeezing

We investigate the impact of the Petermann-excess-noise factor K>/=1 on the possibility of intensity noise squeezing of laser light below the standard quantum limit. Using an N-mode model, we show that squeezing is limited to a floor level of 2(K-1) times the shot noise limit. Thus, even a modest Petermann factor significantly impedes squeezing, which becomes impossible when K>/=1.5. This appears as a serious limitation for obtaining sub-shot-noise light from practical semiconductor lasers. We present experimental evidence for our theory.     

Chemistry of diazafulvenium methides in the synthesis of functionalized pyrazoles

The chemistry of diazafulvenium methides generated by the thermal extrusion of sulfur dioxide from 2,2-dioxo-1H,3H-pyrazolo[1,5-c] [1,3]thiazoles is described. The diazafulvenium methides unsubstituted at C-7 participate in [8 pi + 2 pi] cycloadditions giving pyrazolo-annulated heterocycles resulting from the addition across the 1,7-position. 1-Methyl-diazafulvenium methides and 7,7-dimethyl-diazafulvenium methides undergo intramolecular sigmatropic [1,8]H shifts giving vinyl-1H-pyrazoles.
