Bis(cyclopentadienyl)methan-verbrückte Zweikernkomplexe,V. Heteronukleare Co/Rh-, Co/Ir-, Rh/Ir- und Ti/Ir-Komplexe mit dem Bis(cyclopentadienyl)methan-Dianion als Brückenliganden

Bis(cyclopentadienyl)methane-bridged Dinuclear Complexes, V^[1]. – Heteronuclear Co/Rh-, Co/Ir-, Rh/Ir-, and Ti/Ir Complexes with the Bis(cyclopentadienyl)methane Dianion as Bridging Ligand^* The lithium and sodium salts of the [C₅H₅CH₂C₅H₄]^- anion, 1 and 2 , react with [Co(CO)₄I], [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂, and [Ir(CO)₃Cl]n to give predominantly the mononuclear complexes [(C₅H₅-CH₂C₅H₄)M(CO)₂] ( 3, 5, 7 ) together with small amounts of the dinuclear compounds [CH₂(C₅H₄)₂][M(CO)₂]₂ ( 4, 6, 8 ). The ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectra of 3, 5 , and 7 prove that the CH₂C₅H₅ substituent is linked to the π-bonded ring in two isomeric forms. Metalation of 5 and 7 with nBuLi affords the lithiated derivatives 9 and 10 from which on reaction with [Co(CO)₄I], [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂, and [C₅H₅TiCl₃] the heteronuclear complexes [CH₂(C₅H₄)₂][M(CO)₂][M′(CO)₂] ( 11–13 ) and [CH₂(C₅H₄)₂]-[Ir(CO)₂][C₅H₅TiCl₂] ( 17 ) are obtained. Photolysis of 11 and 12 leads almost quantitatively to the formation of the CO-bridged compounds [CH₂(C₅H₄)₂][M(CO)(μ-CO)M′(CO)] ( 14, 15 ). According to an X-ray crystal structure analysis the Co/Rh complex 14 is isostructural to [CH₂(C₅H₄)₂][Rh₂(CO)₂(μ-CO)] ( 16 ).     

Synthesis and 13C NMR of (trifluoromethyl)hydroxypyrazoles

Reaction of ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate with methylhydrazine produced not only the previously reported 5-hydroxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole 1 but also its unknown isomer the 3-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole 4 . The structure assignments are established based on ¹³C nmr spectra. Compound 1 was converted to 5-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolecarboxylic acid 3 in two steps.     

Konduktometrische Bestimmung kleiner Bleimengen

Zusammenfassung Kleine Bleimengen (0,2–0,005 mg Pb in 50 bzw. 20 ml Lösung) lassen sich konduktometrisch mit H₂S-Wasser als Maßflüssigkeit zuverlässig bestimmen. Die Sicherheit der Titration wird besonders von folgenden, experimentell geprüften Faktoren beeinflußt: Verhältnis von Gas- und Flüssigkeitsvolumen im Vorratsgefäß der H₂S-Lösung, Temperaturkonstanz der Maß- und Analysenlösung, Verhältnis der Normalität von Maßlösung und Bleilösung, p_H-Wert sowie Art und Behandlung des destillierten Wassers. Der Einfluß dieser und aller anderen, die Genauigkeit der Methode bedingenden Faktoren wird an Hand experimenteller Daten erörtert. Bei Berücksichtigung aller Fehlerquellen können Pb-Mengen über 0,02 mg mit einem Fehler von ± 2%, Mengen von 0,005 mg noch mit etwa ± 10% bestimmt werden.     

Potential Mechanisms of Photodynamic Inactivation of Virus by Methylene BlueI. RNA–Protein Crosslinks and Other Oxidative Lesions in Qβ Bacteriophage

A spectrum of oxidative lesions was observed in a bacteriophage-based model system that is very sensitive to the photodynamic activity of selected dyes. When suspensions of the intact bacteriophage Qβ were exposed to methylene blue plus light (MB+L), inactivating events, or "hits" occurred that were oxygen-dependent and that were associated with the formation of several specific lesions: (1) carbonyl moieties on proteins, (2) 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua), and (3) single-strand breaks (ssb) in the RNA genome and (4) RNA-protein crosslinks. Formation of carbonyl groups associated with protein in the Qβ phage preparation correlated positively with photoinactivation of the phage with increasing doses of either of the sensitizers MB or rose bengal. Strand breaks in the Qβ genomic RNA were observable at high MB concentrations but appeared not to be significant at the lower concentrations of MB, as full-length Qβ RNA was observable well beyond the 99% inactivation point in MB dosage. It was shown that the number of 8-oxoGua lesions were unlikely to be sufficient to account for the number of lethal events. Following exposure to MB+L, crosslink formation between Qβ RNA and protein was observed by virtue of the location of RNA at the interface of phenol-aqueous extractions of phage suspensions. A significant increase over background of RNA-protein complexes (including full-length Qβ RNA) was observed at the lowest concentration of MB tested (0.5 μ M ), which corresponded roughly to an average of 2 lethal hits per phage or approximately 13% survival compared to the zero MB control (100% survival). Due to its close correlation with Qβ inactivation and its expected lethality, RNA-protein crosslink formation may be important as an inactivating lesion in bacteriophage Qβ following MB+L exposure.     

1H-NMR-spektroskopische Analyse von 2-Chlor-1.3.2-dioxarsolan

The¹H-NMR-spectral data of 2-chloro-1.3.2-dioxarsolane are presented and discussed. The protons of the methylene groups form in concentrated solutions by rapide chlorine exchange anAAAA spin system. In dilute solutions the protons form anAABB spin system, which is changed to anAAAA system by addition of chlorine ions.The vicinal H–C–C–H-coupling constants indicate a twist-envelope conformation.

X-ray determination of mean square amplitudes of lattice oscillations in compounds with ZnS structure

A general method of determination of the mean square amplitudes of lattice oscillations (MSA) for crystals with sphalerite structure is described and applied to InP. The linearity of suitable functions of the measured integral BRAGG intensities of sin² θ/λ² is used for the verification of the parameters selected for the correction of extinction and DTS. In this way the accuracy of the results is increased. The MSAs of the InP-sublattices are evaluated. According to theoretical expectations the MSAs of the P-sublattice are larger because of the greater contributions of optical phonons.     

Formulation of Cannabidiol in Colloidal Lipid Carriers

In this study, the general processability of cannabidiol (CBD) in colloidal lipid carriers was investigated. Due to its many pharmacological effects, the pharmaceutical use of this poorly water-soluble drug is currently under intensive research and colloidal lipid emulsions are a well-established formulation option for such lipophilic substances. To obtain a better understanding of the formulability of CBD in lipid emulsions, different aspects of CBD loading and its interaction with the emulsion droplets were investigated. Very high drug loads (>40% related to lipid content) could be achieved in emulsions of medium chain triglycerides, rapeseed oil, soybean oil and trimyristin. The maximum CBD load depended on the type of lipid matrix. CBD loading increased the particle size and the density of the lipid matrix. The loading capacity of a trimyristin emulsion for CBD was superior to that of a suspension of solid lipid nanoparticles based on trimyristin (69% vs. 30% related to the lipid matrix). In addition to its localization within the lipid core of the emulsion droplets, cannabidiol was associated with the droplet interface to a remarkable extent. According to a stress test, CBD destabilized the emulsions, with phospholipid-stabilized emulsions being more stable than poloxamer-stabilized ones. Furthermore, it was possible to produce emulsions with pure CBD as the dispersed phase, since CBD demonstrated such a pronounced supercooling tendency that it did not recrystallize, even if cooled to −60 °C.
