Hydroxy peroxy nitrites and nitrates from OH initiated reactions of isoprene

The reaction of hydroxy peroxy radicals (RO(2)) with NO represents one of the most crucial tropospheric processes, leading to terrestrial ozone formation or NO(x)() removal and chain termination. We investigate the formation of hydroxy peroxy nitrites (ROONO) and nitrates (RONO(2)) from the OH-isoprene reactions using DFT and ab initio theories and variational RRKM/master equation (vRRKM/ME) formalism. The binding energies of ROONO from NO addition to RO(2) are determined to be in the range of 20-22 kcal mol(-)(1), and the bond dissociation energies of ROONO to form an alkoxy radical (RO) and NO(2) range from 6 to 9 kcal mol(-)(1). Isomerization of ROONO to RONO(2) is exothermic by 22-28 kcal mol(-)(1). The entrance and exit channels of the RO(2)-NO reaction are found to be barrierless, and the rate constants to form ROONO are calculated to be 3 x 10(-)(12) to 2 x 10(-)(11) cm(3) molecule(-)(1) s(-)(1) using the canonical variational transition state theory. The vRRKM/ME analysis reveals negligible stabilization of excited ROONO and provides an assessment of ROONO isomerization to RONO(2).     

ATRP grafting of styrene from benzyl chloride functionalized polysiloxanes: An AFM and TGA study of the Cu(0)/bpy catalyst

Various combinations of Cu(0), CuCl, 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) were used as catalysts for the grafting polymerizations of styrene from polysiloxane macroinitiators functionalized with benzyl chloride. While Cu(0)/bpy alone promotes the grafting, narrower polydispersities were obtained in the presence of CuCl. Analysis of the Cu(0) surface before and after polymerization by a combination of AFM, TGA and FTIR investigations reveals the formation of bpy or phen films on Cu(0). In the presence of CuCl, the ligand film appears decorated with CuCl particles which increase in size with increasing the CuCl concentration. The initial layer occurs most likely as a result of complexation between the ligands and the Cu(0) surface and acts as a support for the rest of the film. These observations are consistent with the film formation on Cu(0) from related nitrogen donors and indicate that the reactivity of the Cu surface may depend not only on its prior treatment but also on the deposition of ligands from the reaction mixture.     

Synthesis of novel C-2 substituted pyrimidine nucleoside analogs

A series of 2-(2-oxoalkylidene)-4(1H)-pyrimidinone nucleoside analogs were synthesized by the addition of the lithium enolates of methylketones to 2,5′- and 2,2′-anhydrouridines and to 2,5′-anhydrothymidines. Alternatively, 2-thiouridine was alkylated with bromomethyl ketones to yield 2-(2-oxoalkyl)thio-4(1H)-pyrimidinone ribofuranosides in good yields. These intermediates were subsequently transformed into the title compounds via an Eschenmoser sulfur extrusion reaction. The 2-(2-oxoalkylidene)-4-(1H)-pyrimidinone nucleoside analogs exhibit enol proton signals in their ¹H nmr spectra indicative of hydrogen bonding between N-3 and keto oxygen. These structures offer functional groups with potential for Watson-Crick hydrogen bonding.

Strategies to enhance the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated softwood with high residual lignin content

Pretreatment of Douglas-fir by steam explosion produces a substrate containing approx 43% lignin. Two strategies were investigated for reducing the effect of this residual lignin on enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose: mild alkali extraction and protein addition. Extraction with cold 1% NaOH reduced the lignin content by only approx 7%, but cellulose to glucose conversion was enhanced by about 30%. Before alkali extraction, addition of exogenous protein resulted in a significant improvement in cellulose hydrolysis, but this protein effect was substantially diminished after alkali treatment. Lignin appears to reduce cellulose hydrolysis by two distinct mechanisms: by forming a physical barrier that prevents enzyme access and by non-productively binding cellulolytic enzymes. Cold alkali appears to selectively remove a fraction of lignin from steam-exploded Douglas-fir with high affinity for protein. Corresponding data for mixed softwood pretreated by organosolv extraction indicates that the relative importance of the two mechanisms by which residual lignin affects hydrolysis is different according to the pre- and post-treatment method used.     

Synthesis of imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine nucleosides related to inosine

Several imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine nucleosides which are structurally similar to inosine were synthesized. Anhydrous stannic chloride-catalyzed condensation of persilylated imidazo[4,5-d]-pyridazin-4(5H)one (1) and imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine-4,7(5H,6H)dione ( 16 ) with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose ( 3 ) provided (after sodium methoxide deblocking) 6-β-D-ribo furanosylimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4(5H)one (5) and 3,6-di-(β-D-ribofuranosyI)imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4-one ( 7 ); and 1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine-4,7(5H,6H)dione ( 19 ) and 1,5 or 6-di-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d ]pyridazine-4,7(5H or 6H)dione ( 21 ), respeeitvely. 4,7-Diehloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine ( 12 ) and dimethyl 1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ( 26 ), both prepared from stannic chloride-catalyzed ribosylations of the corresponding heterocycles, were converted in several steps to 3-β-D-ribo-furanosy limidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4(5H)one ( 14 ) and nucleosidc 19 , respectively. Acid-catalyzed isopropylidenation of mesomeric betaine 7 or nuclcoside 14 provided 3-(2,3-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d]pyrizin-4(5H)one ( 31 ). 1-β-D-Ribofuranosylimidazo[4,5-d]-pyridazine ( 29 ) was obtained in several steps from nueleoside 12 . The structure of the nucleosides was established by the use of carbon-13 and proton nmr.

Diazotization of 9 and subsequent in situ hydroxydediazotization afforded nucleosidc 11 .     

Comparative investigation on non-IPR C68 and IPR C78 fullerenes encaging Sc3N molecules

A computational study on the experimentally detected Sc(3)N@C(68) cluster is reported, involving quantum chemical analysis at the B3LYP/6-31G level. Extensive computations were carried out on the pure C(68) cage which does not conform with the isolated pentagon rule (IPR). The two maximally stable C(68) isomers were selected as initial Sc(3)N@C(68) cage structures. Full geometry optimization leads to a confirmation of an earlier assessment of the Sc(3)N@C(68) equilibrium geometry (Nature 2000, 408, 427), namely an eclipsed arrangement of Sc(3)N in the C(68) 6140 frame, where each Sc atom interacts with one pentagon pair. From a variety of theoretical procedures, a D(3h) structure is proposed for the free Sc(3)N molecule. Encapsulated into the C(68) enclosure, this unit is strongly stabilized with respect to rotation within the cage. The complexation energy of Sc(3)N@C(68) cage is found to be in the order of that determined for Sc(3)N@C(80) and exceeding the complexation energy of Sc(3)N@C(78). The cage-core interaction is investigated in terms of electron transfer from the encapsulated trimetallic cluster to the fullerene as well as hybridization between these two subsystems. The stabilization mechanism of Sc(3)N@C(68) is seen to be analogous to that operative in Sc(3)N@C(78). For both cages, C(68) and C(78), inclusion of Sc(3)N induces aromaticity of the cluster as a whole.     

Analytical contributions to the evaluation of painting authenticity from Princely church of Curtea de Arges

The present study contains the analyses performed for pigment samples taken from the Princely church of Curtea de Arges, one of the oldest churches in Romania. The results of our investigations have shown the source of these samples, thus being identified the pigments: natural ultramarine, cinnabar, red earth, and calcium carbonate in the painting from the 14th century, the pigments: lead white, zinc white, and Prussian blue in the repainting from the 19th century and the pigments zinc white, titanium dioxide white, bone white, yellow ochre, red ochre, green earth, artificial ultramarine, and mars red in the interventions carried out in the 20th century. The analyses consisted of light microscopy (LM) and microchemical tests, as well as energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. This system of analyses allows one to precisely determine the authenticity of certain pigments, thus avoiding the dating errors for different interventions carried out on the original mural painting from the Saint Nicholas Princely church of Curtea de Arges.
